Tom Sandoval claimed his ex Ariana Madix owes him $90,000 before he will agree upon selling the Los Angeles home they co-own.
The Vanderpump Rules star, 40, has reportedly responded to his ex’s lawsuit against him over their home and said no sale will occur until she pays back his alleged loan to her.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, he claimed that he has a lien on the house that is tied to the money she owes him and it must be paid before a judge can force a sale.
Previously, Madix, 38, sued her co-star and now-ex in early January over their $2 million Valley Village home, which they purchased together back in 2019.
On that lawsuit, he allegedly issued general denials against her allegations.

The pair have since split due to his infidelity — a scandal appropriately dubbed Scandoval — but still live in the house together as they have not resolved how to split the property.
Months after their separation, she filed a suit in the Los Angeles Superior Court for a ‘partition by sale’, according to documents obtained by DailyMail.com.
Essentially, she is suing him and wants a judge to order them to sell the home in order to divide the proceeds.
She is fighting against a ‘division in kind’, which would allow each of them to retain their ownership interest in the property.
Theoretically, this could lead to one of them selling to the third party and letting the other still own and live in the home.
This new report about the alleged loan comes just days after Sandoval claimed Ariana physically assaulted him nearly one year ago when she discovered he was having an affair.
He claimed that on March 1, 2023, she split his lip and ripped his chain off when she found out he had been cheating on her for seven months with her friend Rachel Leviss.
He told The New York Times Magazine in an interview published on Tuesday that the altercation occured in the back alley behind Tom Tom Restaurant & Bar in West Hollywood.

‘She beat my a**,’ he recalled in his conversation with the outlet.
He had been performing with his cover band The Most Extras when she found an explicit ‘screen recording of them on FaceTime’ on his phone.
‘It was literally from the night before,’ he recalled.
Madix immediately called Leviss to confront her, and she admitted the affair with had started with a tryst inside her car following the death of Madix’s dog Charlotte on August 2, 2022.
‘My emotions were clearly all over the place,’ the former DWTS contestant recalled of the moment on the 10th season finale.
‘And he was angry at me. Angry… at me!’
And while there’s no evidence Madix ever hit the St. Louis native, audiences saw her fly into a rage when she told him she wanted him ‘to die’ that same episode.
‘I don’t give a f*** about f***ing Raquel!’ Madix screamed.
‘Your friendship is f***ing bulls***!’
In a sneak peek from Tuesday night’s episode of the Emmy-nominated Bravo reality show, the Florida-born blonde randomly reunited with the Lyft rideshare driver who took her and Sandoval home the night they ended their nine-year relationship.
‘[The driver] definitely has no idea that, like, that it’s, like, a thing. I just thought that was so crazy,’ Madix marveled.
‘I don’t think he has any clue how many people out there probably want to talk to him!’

And while Madix has temporarily moved to Manhattan to star in the Broadway musical Chicago through April 7, she still co-owns the $2M 4,500-square-foot five-bedroom Valley Village home she shared with Sandoval

It’s worth noting that Sandoval also cheated on his prior live-in girlfriend of eight years, Kristen Doute, in order to start dating Madix back in 2014.
Sandoval’s abuse allegations come nearly a year after Leviss claimed their co-star Scheana Shay pushed her against a brick wall and punched in her in the left eye on March 2, which left her with ‘a permanent scar on my eyebrow.’
The 29-year-old Rachel Goes Rogue podcaster was granted a month-long restraining order from her 38-year-old former friend, who denied ever punching her, which made the 10th season reunion tricky to film.
Looking back at Scandoval, the former Special Forces contestant told the NYT Mag: ‘I feel like I got more hate than Danny Masterson, and he’s a convicted rapist.’
Elsewhere in the interview, Sandoval was forced to issue a formal apology for comparing his 2023 media blitz to the OJ Simpson trial of 1993 and the racially-charged death of George Floyd, which spawned the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020.
‘My intentions behind the comments I made in New York Times Magazine were to explain the level of national media attention my affair received,’ Sandoval wrote via Instastory amid Black History Month.
