These days, Ariana Madix typically doesn’t talk about her ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval. Despite that, she’s telling it all about a shady production stunt, but this time, it came from her direction.
During a recent interview, the Bravo star shared about the time she pulled a shady stunt on the Vanderpump Rules production crew in 2018. “It was the trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico,” she said. “We all had to get on a plane, and my ex thought that morning he should get up and go on a jet ski by himself. He was literally still on the jet ski when they were loading up the vans with all of our stuff and all of us.”
“So, I lied to production and told them he was just, like, in the bathroom, but literally, I could see him outside of the hotel window in the ocean still on the jet ski. And that was pretty shady. They were pissed mostly just because … they anticipated him being late, so I didn’t help. But what was I supposed to do?”
Where do Ariana and Tom stand today?
Since finding out her ex-boyfriend of nearly a decade had been cheating on her with her former best friend for seven months, Ariana has had quite a busy year. In addition to leaving Sandoval in the dust, the Pump Rules veteran has taken on additional projects, including a plethora of endorsement deals and new shows — like Dancing with the Stars.
Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules will premiere on Bravo on January 30, 2024. It’s set to showcase the aftermath of Scandoval. Although Ariana and Tom will appear in the upcoming batch of episodes, the two didn’t film any solo scenes together. This, despite living under the same roof.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Ariana was suing Tom over their shared San Fernando Valley home. The soon-to-be Broadway star filed documents in the Los Angeles Superior Court and requested a “partition by sale.” If successful, the judge would order the former couple to sell their home and split the proceeds.
Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules will premiere on Bravo on January 30, 2024 at 8/7c.
