Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix has turned the sour lemons of her boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, cheating on her into lemonade. She appeared on Dancing with the Stars and hosted Love Island USA. Ariana also nabbed a return engagement on Broadway in the musical Chicago. So, while Ariana is thriving, her brother Jeremy Madix is in major legal hot water.
Jeremy Madix was busted with 76 pounds of marijuana
TMZ obtained legal documents stating that on February 16, 2024, Jeremy and Johah Ahad were about to board a flight to Frankfurt, Germany. But at a security checkpoint at Orlando International Airport in Florida, the men were stopped and their three suitcases were searched by Customs and Border Protection agents. Jeremy and Jonah had over 100 pounds of marijuana in their luggage.
The two suitcases that belonged to Jeremy had 64 bags of weed, which weighed 76 pounds. Jonah’s luggage contained 37 pounds of marijuana in 31 bags. Both Jeremy and Jonah declined to speak without their attorneys being present.
In an unusual twist, the two men were not arrested at the time. Instead, Jonah was arrested in May, and Jeremy was arrested in mid-August. Both men were charged with felony trafficking in cannabis.
TMZ reached out to Ariana’s representative, but they did not respond.
Jeremy and his sister are estranged. At first, fans speculated that it was because Jeremy and Sandoval hugged in March. Thinking that Jeremy didn’t have Ariana’s back upset many fans.
Later, Jeremy explained the true reason for his estrangement from Ariana. “Why I haven’t been talking to my sister and Scandoval are two totally separate things,” Jeremy previously explained. “I just want to clarify that I haven’t talked to my sister due to me having to stand up for my fiancé.” He also revealed that he tried to reach out to Ariana in December, but she did not respond.
Vanderpump Rules is streaming on Peacock.
