Ann Maddox has gotten her hours cut back at Something About Her.

After going to work for Ariana Madix, 39, and Katie Maloney, 37, at their sandwich shop after leaving her job as Tom Sandoval‘s assistant, Ann, who was featured on Vanderpump Rules season 11, shared a message on her Instagram Story about her hours as she requested help from her followers.

As they shared a screenshot of Ann’s message, The Bravo Objective noted that they found the cut odd considering Ann was a draw for fans.

“Well my hours got cut at the shop so I have no choice but to have this succeed … Please vote for my podcast so that we can get host read ads and pay my rent thank you!” Ann’s message said, along with a link to a survey where fans could vote for her podcast, We Signed an NDA.

Following the sharing of the post, several commenters admitted they didn’t feel that bad for Ann.

“She seems like an unhinged super fan. I said what I said,” one person stated.

“She needs that podcast now because who will hire her as a PA when she has proven she cannot be loyal?” asked another.

“Oh, I wonder if she’ll go work for the other partner who is suing Katie and Ariana now for her revenge like she did Tom. That seems to be [her] thing,” mentioned a third person, who signaled Penny Davidi‘s lawsuit against the Pump Rules cast member.

“I don’t even feel sorry for her, she was giving thirsty from the beginning,” added someone else.

But others pointed out that her hours being cut was a “shame” since Ann “added a lot to the atmosphere” and was “very upbeat and taking photos with anyone that asked.”

It was even mentioned that many other California restaurants had cut employees’ hours due to the state’s new wage law.

“Well when they have to pay their employees at a restaurant 20 an hour bc that the state’s new restaurant wage, yeah every restaurant has cut hours,” someone shared.

Ann’s cut comes just days after a job listing for Something About Her was shared on Reddit and met with criticism from users of the platform, who felt that Ariana and Katie weren’t paying enough to their staff.

The listing was for a part-time employee, Monday through Friday.

Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney opened the doors to their new sandwich shop, Something About Her, on Wednesday, amid some technical issues — following months of delays and a soft opening earlier this month.

After droves of fans made their way to the Vanderpump Rules stars’ new business, which is located in West Hollywood, California, not far from TomTom and SUR Restaurant, new information about the venue was revealed as Ann Maddox‘s absence was pulled into question and a collaboration with Summer House cast members Kyle Cooke, 41, and Amanda Batula, 32, was confirmed.

In a video captured by the Vanderpumprulesparty Instagram page, Ariana announces the POS system (Point of Sale system) was having issues. “Our POS system has decided that today is the day that it wants to not work,” said Ariana to the crowd lined up outside.

Speaking of their experience on day one of Something About Her, Bravo Breaking News on Instagram shared that the POS system was working properly by the time they entered the restaurant, adding: “I got in line about 9:15am (45 minutes before opening) and was about 15th in line. They opened a little late (around 10:30) and rather than getting it to go, we waited for a table inside and sat down around 11:30.”

They also included a photo and screenshot of a video of the “MAJOR LINE” of people outside.

“Was Ann there?!” a fan asked the outlet during a Q&A later that day.

“ANN WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!! I also didn’t see her in any of the content from the soft openings,” the fan page replied, also asking with a hashtag, “Where is Ann?”

As Pump Rules fans well know, Ann, the former assistant of Tom Sandoval, 41, began working at Something About Her amid season 11.

Another person wondered, “How many seats are inside?”

And, with a pic of Katie’s mom, Teri Maloney, the outlet revealed, “There are literally [seven] tables (six 2 tops [and] one 4 top) inside. It is TINY! But very cute and quaint. But there is a huge park nearby if you have to take it to go!”

“Is there alcohol on the menu? Outdoor seating?” someone else asked.

“They have [Loverboy] and [Avaline] wine (my two faves). No liquor! And no outdoor seating as of yet … Katie said they are working on that!” they confirmed.

Following the opening, Katie returned home, where she took to her Instagram Story with a message of thanks to her fans and supporters.

“My heart is so f*cking full. I cannot say enough thanks to everyone that came out to support us today and waited in line at [Something About Her]. It means the world to me and [Ariana Madix],” she captioned a sleepy pic of herself.

In another photo shared by Bravo Breaking News, several sandwiches were seen placed on top of Something About Her paper-lined trays, including The Drew, The Viola, and The Kate, each of which came with a pickle and grapes.

Also on opening day, Something About Her and Kyle and Amanda’s Loverboy announced an exciting partnership.

“There’s just Something About Her… drinking a Loverboy … [Something About Her] is officially open and you can pair your new favorite sandwich with [a Loverboy] spritz or tea! Cheers to that,” the companies wrote in the caption of their joint post, which featured an image of Ariana, Katie, Amanda, and Kyle seated in a corner booth at the restaurant.

The Vanderpump Rules season 11 reunion concludes next Tuesday, May 28, with part three at 8/7c on Bravo.

Tom Sandoval’s Ex-Assistant Ann Maddox Addresses Tom Asking Her to Clean and Feeling Like She Was “Babysitting” a Toddler, Plus Says She Wants to Work for Ariana in Vanderpump Rules Sneak Peek

Tom Sandoval‘s former assistant, Ann Maddox, is speaking out about being asked to clean up after him.

During a recent episode of her podcast, Ann, who worked for Sandoval, 41, amid filming on the currently airing 11th season of Vanderpump Rules, admitted that her gig felt more like “babysitting” as Ariana Madix, 38, was seen discussing the situation in a sneak peek and considering hiring Ann as her own assistant.

“Definitely, when he first asked me to clean like that, I was a little bit like, ‘That’s kinda not in my job description,’ but I was like, ‘But I like cleaning so I’ll do it anyways.’ And then you just kind of keep getting asked so you just kinda keep doing it. And now in hindsight, I see myself and I’m like, ‘Huh,’” Ann explained on the March 20 episode of We Signed an NDA. “I’ve had so many personal assistants reach out being like, ‘Yo, you shouldn’t be doing that.’ And you’re like, ‘Oh, right, right, right.’”

When Ann’s co-host then mentioned that Ariana had said on the show that Ann seemed to be more like Sandoval’s mom than his assistant, Ann agreed.

“It totally felt like nannying, like babysitting, just a three-year-old toddler just running around dropping stuff and you just following them, making sure they don’t get her and picking up for them. That was my job but it was for an adult,” she laughed.

Meanwhile, in a preview of the March 26 episode shared by Bravo, Ann was seen on FaceTime with Ariana, who requested her help finding an assistant.

“I feel like on the verge of like, full burnout, so I need an assistant. So, I was gonna ask if you know anybody,” Ariana tells Ann in the sneak peek.

“Ariana, can I be in the running, please?” Ann asks.

“Yes, of course,” Ariana replies. “Of course you can.”

But in a confessional, Ariana confessed to thinking that hiring Ann may not be the best idea.

“Ann is just so sweet and she deserves so much more than putting up with my ex-boyfriend,” she said. “I don’t know if I can be the one to do it, but somebody needs to save Ann.”

Ariana also tells Ann, “I don’t want him to get all like, pissed and stuff too, or be like, ‘You’re poaching my assistant,’” which didn’t deter Ann one bit.

“I want to work for you so bad,” she insists.

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live earlier this month, Ariana confirmed she did not hire Ann as her assistant, nor did she have an assistant at all, but added of Ann, “There will be some developments.”

Vanderpump Rules season 11 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
