I wondered if there was some agreement at the time that if anything happened that Ariana's half would be determined before the payment of the HELOC or whatever and that Tom would get what was left over. E.g., the House sells for $4MM; they have a profit of say $2MM.  Ariana would be entitled to $1MM.  However, since the HELOC has to be paid before disbursement,  if it was, say, $750K or whatever, that would leave $1.25MM.  Since Ariana is entitled to $1MM as the HELOC was for Tom's business, Tom only gets the $250,000 left.  

I'm sure Tommy Turd agreed to it at the time because he never thought Ariana would be kicking him to the curb.  

We have no idea what agreements they had regarding the house, but Ariana, at least on the show appeared to be too trusting.

 If you read his statement, he claims he was given unsound legal advice and has since removed his lawyer.  Come on.  Does he think we were born yesterday?  It's 100% cause he got so much blowback from EVERYONE (Bravo, partners at Schwartz & Sandy's, prob the entire VPR fanbase).  He is exhausting.

I am still 100% convinced this show is not cancelled.  It might sputter pathetically for another season, but RIGHT NOW, especially with all this off-season drama?  There are viewers, there are advertisers, and there is money on the table, and BRAVO - if smart - wont' just leave it there for one more go-around.  If I was a betting man I'd go heavy in with this break being a break and not a cancellation.

I said earlier that there was something hickey in all this since the Gerragos firm is adverse to his interests in the Leviss lawsuit.  So it wouldn't surprise me if he got bad legal advice from them.  I wonder if they approached HIM to file this stupid suit against Ariana - after all, why didn't he just have the attorney representing him in the Leviss suit file the action and not the Gerragos.

Celebrity attorneys, or well known attorneys who represent specific kind of cases approach potential clients. Do you remember Gloria Allred? She did it.

Sandoval claimed he thought the lawsuit against Ariana was part of the previous case (the revenge porn one).

Wasn't this the "celebrity chef" they hired for the sandwich shop who then trademarked its name for herself?

"I looked at the trademark, and the trademark is owned by Penny, the lady they hired," Brock says in the Vanderpump Rules Season 11 After Show video above. "The trademark is owned by her husband, ladies and gentlemen — which means the sandwich brand is owned by Penny and her husband, who is an attorney, a litigator."

If this happened, is it probably because Penny thought she was a partner, although a minor one? She claims she was offered a percentage of the business. It seems she was also doing everything. Ariana was traveling for her career and was not involved at all.

Penny Davidi says in her lawsuit that she has a written partnership from June 2023 with Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney.

On Thursday, celebrity chef Penny Davidi filed a lawsuit against Madix and her co-owner slash Vanderpump Rules co-star, Katie Maloney, claiming that the duo violated the terms of a written partnership with Davidi from June 2023. In legal documents reviewed by the Cut, Davidi — who works under an LLC called Put a Fork in It — claimed she was promised 10 percent ownership of the shop, a $7,500-per-month payment until January 2024, then $10,000 per month after that, and a COO/director of culinary title. Though she did not clarify what piece of this agreement Madix and Maloney have reneged on, she claims they have “repudiated the existence and terms of the Partnership as alleged herein.”

Same. Penny's talking out of both sides of her mouth. In one breath, she's claiming she was hired as a consultant and due a monthly rate. In the next, she claims to be a partner, owed a share of the proceeds. Added in, the shadiness of having her husband filing the trademark patent under her LLC vs. the actual business entity.

It screams a scam to me and it's disheartening to know that LVP was involved. They preyed on the girls' naïvety in the restaurant industry for money/control.

I also think it's funny how Penny claims that she did all the work and aren't paying her for it while simultaneously criticizing all of their choices: the food, the bread, the menu & design, etc. Doesn't that undercut her claim that they stole her ideas?

LVP is shady too so this does not surprise me.

[princelina]

The sandwich shop has been sketchy from day 1.  They had the idea, approached Rand at a "business meeting" where he promised to give them lots of money in exchange for a sandwich named after him.  Next season the only thing that had happened was Rand cheated on "Lala" so they didn't need his stinkin money.  Lisa found them a location.  Maybe that season they had a platter of sandwiches from Penny to pass out on the show.  Season ends and nothing happens until the next season.  Scandoval happens and they sell merch.  Even if Lisa and Penny were up to no good, it was probably just to make this sandwich shop exist.

I'm not sure I find this description at all compelling of abnormal business practices.

It does appear strange. I understand that perhaps an attorney (Penny's husband is an attorney) could get a patent for a client (like Ariana and  Katie), but not to get this patent in his name. Is it possible Brock was confused?

But it seems Scandoval helped her like others to become relevant again. And producers forget bad behavior. Hulu streams Lisa Vanderpump's show Vanderpump Villa, and Lisa probably helped with recommendations as she always favored Stassi.

I thankfully didn't watch the show but all I heard was how awful it was.  One of the hosts of the podcast "Watch What Crappens" went on a long rant about how terrible it was so I didn't even bother giving it a try.  Honestly, I'm not a huge Lisa fan and feel she's not even needed on VPR; even though her name is in the title.
