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.

Ariana Madix’s Brother Jeremy Says He Hasn’t Heard “From Her In Months” as He Addresses Where He Stands With Tom Sandoval Now

[ad_1]

The hits keep on coming for Ariana Madix. Following remarks by some of her Vanderpump Rules costars saying they barely hear from her anymore after her post-Scandoval fame, her brother Jeremy Madix is now echoing the same sentiment.

In a new shocking interview, Jeremy, Ariana’s younger brother, hinted at a current estrangement from his sister, who he says he hasn’t heard from “in months.”

After Jeremy was reportedly seen hugging and sharing a laugh with Tom Sandoval at the recent The Valley premiere party, he was asked about it while appearing on the Pump Rules Podcast. Jeremy tried to play coy about the situation before dropping the bombshell about his sister.

“You might be hallucinating. But we can find out it’s a world hallucinating on season 12. The story is to be told,” said Jeremy on the podcast, via Breaking the Rules Pod on TikTok. “I need to talk to Tom. I would love to talk to my sister but I haven’t heard from her in months so we’ll just keep on keeping on dude and we’ll deal with the punches as they come in. For now, I’ll plead the fifth. You may or may not have seen some things.”

Jeremy, who made some appearances on Vanderpump Rules season 5 while working at SUR, continued, “And depending on how long it takes for me to hear from my sister will determine on whether I stick to that stance or not.”

As for Tom, Jeremy opened up about the fact that he was very close to Ariana’s ex while Tom and Ariana dated for almost 10 years, admitting they still needed to talk some things out.

“Obviously me and him need to have a conversation. There’s a lot of things that are left unsaid that I never got to say,” he stated. “People need to realize that I lived with both of them for a long time so it affected me too. I lost a friend. I lost someone that was a mutual relationship of love.”

Despite his comments, Jeremy insists he has Ariana’s back no matter what.

He shared, “Obviously, I’m always going to stand by my sister.”

Just last week, Lala Kent confirmed the rumor that she and Ariana got into a nasty feud at the recently filmed upcoming Vanderpump Rules season 11 reunion. During this season of the Bravo series, Lala suggested Ariana was self-absorbed.

And then earlier this month, Lala also accused Ariana of not telling her costar and business partner Katie Maloney about snagging a role on Broadway, questioning why Katie had to find out along with the rest of the world.

Additionally, Scheana Shay also echoed Jeremy’s sentiment during a segment for the Vanderpump Rules Aftershow, stating that she doesn’t hear much from Ariana these days.

“I don’t hear from her as much. I’ll say that. She returns less and less texts. I know she’s more and more busy but I’ve seen a change in [her],” Scheana admitted. “She never asks, I don’t think, how anyone else is doing.”

Vanderpump Rules Recap: Jax Comes in Hot and Blasts Sandoval Over Scandal as Ariana Warns Scheana About Sandoval Friendship, Plus Katie and Lala Make Amends

[ad_1]

1.3K

Ariana continues to stand firm on her stance when it comes to Sandoval on this episode of Vanderpump Rules. Sure, you can befriend Sandoval, but that means you’ll lose Ariana. Scheana is still trying to figure out a way to have both Ariana and Sandoval in her life, Lala and Katie realize their friendship is something to save, and Jax graces our screens (prior to The Valley crossover) to show Sandoval who the number one guy in the group really is now.

Sandoval has decided it would be a GREAT idea to throw himself a pool party because that wouldn’t make his roommate/ex-girlfriend annoyed or anything. Ariana is avoiding this party that she “allowed,” but not before complaining about it to Katie via FaceTime. The girls discuss Katie’s upcoming meet-up with Lala and how it may be awkward considering how things were left after Ally’s readings the night before.

Katie and Lala sit down to (hopefully) reconcile after the way they spoke to each other. Lala points out that this has been the third time Katie has hit below the belt with her. Lala calls Katie her ride or die, but it’s getting harder to find things in common since she is trying to soften up, as opposed to Katie who is “on her war path.” Lala doesn’t want to or mean to make things about her, but she was just trying to connect with Ariana. She wants Katie to work on her tone and delivery, which Katie acknowledges, and the duo hug it out signaling a reconciliation.

According to Ariana, Sandoval is hosting his “Sexy Singles Pool Party.” Sandoval has made Schwartz uncomfortable when he talks about “potential love interests.” Even Schwartz realizes this is not a good look for Sandoval and so he excuses himself from the situation, letting the party tank on its own.

It turns out that Sandoval has invited some girls that he met at See You Next Tuesday. Sandoval does a wonderful job of scaring them away by talking only about himself and his ten-year relationship that was. He needs some serious help making small talk. Or dare I say, flirting, and things go from cringe to a straight-up car wreck as he rambles on about his past.

The aftermath of the pool party is comparable to a frat party mess. Food and drinks are scattered about and the floor is sticky. Ariana walks in on Ann, Sandoval’s assistant and wonders what exactly her job description is. I mean, one minute she’s cleaning, the next minute she’s acting as his therapist. According to Sandoval, “one of Ann’s duties is to do some housekeeping,” but this seems to be next level and you KNOW he isn’t paying her well…

Scheana stops over to Ariana’s and they step over the trash to make their way to the sofa. Ariana shares that SHE is gonna have some people over for a much more chill evening, but the real reason Ariana has Scheana over is because she thinks Scheana is mad at her, especially over the DWTS gig. Scheana’s beef is that Ariana did not tell her firsthand about getting the show. Ariana wants Scheana to tell her things and to be comfortable talking to her about everything, but Scheana feels like Ariana hasn’t been “receptive” with her feelings.

When it comes to Sandoval, Scheana states she misses her friend of fourteen years, but Ariana shoots it right down. She reminds Scheana that it’s hard to hear that her best friend misses Sandoval, especially after what he did to her. Ariana knows that Scheana has plans to make-up with Sandoval, but she still doesn’t okay this friendship.

Schwartz admits that he could “probably marry Jo right now and be happy,” but he’s not quite ready for that. He understands that the way they hang out seems very date-like (and like they are living together), but it’s truly platonic. Jo explains that since meeting Ally at SUR, she has felt welcome by one of the girls from the group, something that hasn’t happened for her in a long time. She even thinks she will ask Ally for a reading!

It’s a night out for the group and since Tahoe, Sandoval is really trying to reconnect with his friends. It almost seems like things are back to normal within the cast, until Ariana and Katie roll up to the outing. It feels like this was a blatant move for Ariana to try and reclaim *her* friends before they slide back to Sandoval’s side.

Katie and Lala tell the other girls that they are now all good again and Ally shares that Jo texted her to do her chart. This makes Katie recoil, especially seeing how Jo is “infiltrating” the group by trying to get to Ally first.

Schwartz and Scheana touch base and he tries to fill her in on Sandoval’s pool party, but gets interrupted when Sandoval walks over. Scheana takes this as an opportunity to ask him to take responsibility for a lot of sh*t things that went down, including Katie and Schwartz’s divorce. Scheana feels like he also lived on a moral high ground, but now it’s time for Sandoval to get some more self-awareness. Scheana reminds Sandoval that he has hurt a lot of people, and of course Sandoval gets frustrated because he feels like he’s people’s scapegoat. Scheana gets fed up and walks away and James jumps in to try and right Sandoval. Sandoval claims that he is done “groveling” and storms out of the bar, in typical Sandoval fashion.

Brock is still on this nanny kick, but he is understanding a little more how to talk to Scheana about this. Brock needs to work on his “career” and according to him, getting a nanny is going to give him more consistency. Right. Scheana talks about her night out and fills Brock in on her great conversation with Ariana.

Before Ariana’s party, Sandoval comes down and finds himself face-to-face with Katie. Sandoval remembers how Scheana begged him to apologize to Katie and so, he takes her advice, mainly because he knows the best way he can get back into the group is through Scheana…so he should do what she asks. He actually apologizes for the way he acted last year during the divorce, yet Katie can hardly take this apology. Sandoval asks Katie to give him some grace, but Katie wants him to give Ariana some more decency and respect.

As the party gets started downstairs, Schwartz keeps Sandoval company upstairs. Sandoval is lost now that Rachel has truly cut things off with him and no amount of journaling can help him navigate his emotions. He is broken and Schwartz witnesses Sandoval’s dramatic meltdown in his closet, which is yet another cringe moment in this episode. Sandoval states, “I’m getting treated like I’m Scott Peterson” and tells Schwartz that he is feeling “destructive.” Schwartz suggest they go out to try and heal. Once Sandoval leaves the premises, the energy changes for the gang downstairs and a fun night ensues.

Sandoval gets dragged out for a guys’ night, while Jo gets her reading from Ally. Schwartz explains that last summer he had a “whirlwind romance” with Jo and that Katie has a problem with her, but Ally has welcomed her as “Schwartz’s friend.”

And so begins the crossover event when Jax enters the bar scene. Schwartz is hopeful that Jax can give Sandoval some advice, from one cheater to another and Jax comes back on our screens hot. In the 2.5 minutes that he is at the bar, we learn that Jax is opening a sports bar and that he still has issues with Sandoval.

Sandoval calls Jax out for not shutting up about his mistakes and tells him, “It must be humbling to only have something interesting to say when you’re talking about me.” Sandoval makes it clear that he doesn’t have to humble himself to Jax and this is backfiring right in Schwartz’s face. Jax claims that Sandoval did not help him out when he messed up and states that he has grown up. He calls Sandoval a disgrace and this is when Brock steps in to remind the dudes to take a beat. Jax talks about what happens when you let the ego get the best of you, and despite the raucous he caused during his short presence, they hug it out and Jax explains that he just wants the best for Sandoval (so long as he looks better).

Vanderpump Rules’ Raquel Leviss Accuses Tom Sandoval of Grooming Her and Discusses How He Pushed Boundaries With Her in Front of Ariana Madix

[ad_1]

Rachel “Raquel” Leviss agrees with Lala Kent‘s suggestion that Tom Sandoval is a groomer.

After Lala, 33, made the claim against Sandoval, 41, on Tuesday’s episode of Vanderpump Rules, Raquel, 29, welcomed therapist Melissa Reich to her podcast, where she addressed Sandoval’s past behavior toward her, including his alleged grooming and the “boundaries” he pushed with both her and his former girlfriend, Ariana Madix, 38.

“I don’t want to label Tom,” Raquel began on the March 13 episode of Rachel Goes Rogue. “I know I have called him a narcissist in the past, and maybe I shouldn’t have done that. But you start seeing these patterns and these types of behavior, and there are terms that psychologists use to explain this behavior because once you are able to pick up on it, it becomes predictable. So it’s like, the terminology is used as a tool, not as an insult to somebody.”

While Raquel didn’t want to label Tom, she admitted to feeling that she’d been “groomed.”

“I do feel like I have been groomed because I was in a very vulnerable state of mind, and I just got out of a relationship that I feel like was very destructive to my well-being,” she explained. “He witnessed that whole thing play out. And I think things started shifting when we went to Coachella, and he really went out of his way to cater to me.”

According to Raquel, Sandoval brought non-nicotine cigarettes for them to smoke together.

“Thinking back on it, did he bring those just for me, or did he bring those for people that didn’t smoke cigarettes that he wanted to smoke with them?” she wondered, adding that her therapist said smoking was “a very intimate type of activity.”

“That was the first thing that I can really label as, I think that was grooming,” Raquel suspected.

As for the boundaries Sandoval pushed with both her and Ariana, Raquel said that he would often do things that one might find inappropriate with her — even when Ariana was around.

“I just flash back and I think of the boundary-stretching that was happening when all three of us were in the same environment, and he would almost push Ariana’s boundaries when he would touch me a certain way or like, massage my feet in front of her, but like, act like it was completely normal,” she recalled. “So then for me, it was like, ‘Well, it feels like it’s okay and Ariana’s not saying anything.’ But thinking back, I am sure she was uncomfortable with it but maybe didn’t want to say anything in front of him.”

“I just feel like he was pushing both of our boundaries,” Raquel added.

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

Brandi Glanville Says Scheana Shay Should Have Empathy for Raquel Leviss, & Shades Scheana & Lala as “Low” for Selling Merch Amid Scandoval, Plus She Claims Some Housewives Are Supporting Her Amid Claims Against Andy Cohen

[ad_1]

Brandi Glanville said Scheana Shay should have more empathy for former Vanderpump Rules co-star Raquel Leviss – because Scheana herself had an affair with a married man (Brandi’s ex-husband).

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, who’s getting backlash over her allegations against Andy Cohen and Bravo, claimed many Housewives aren’t talking to her now, though some are supporting her “low key.”

On her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast, Brandi shared her belief that Scheana – who’s continually slammed Tom Sandoval’s affair with Raquel – should have more empathy for Raquel given that Scheana was also once a young girl who had an affair with a taken man.

“[Scheana] supposedly didn’t know, and when she found out, she was already too much in love,” said Brandi. “[Scheana] is the weakest link.”

Brandi also called out Scheana and Lala Kent for profiting off ‘Sandoval’ by selling merch as she called their actions “low.”

“All of my friends hated Eddie [Cibrian], done with Eddie, but Scheana and Lala made merch… I mean that like is low low,” said Brandi. “That’s gutter s**t.”

She added, “I’m sorry. Lala and Scheana cheated! And they’re making merch?”

Brandi also said she understood Tom’s anger toward some of his Pump Rules co-stars.

“People made merch to his life. It’s a little aggressive,” shared Brandi. “I would have a chip on my shoulder as well… Of course he’s pissed off. Like you actually profited from me f**king up. Like he didn’t kill anyone.”

Still, Brandi expressed her doubts regarding the revelation that Tom had thoughts of taking his own life at the height of the scandal.

“[But] I don’t honestly think that Sandoval ever felt [like taking his own life],” Brandi added. “I feel like he’s too much of an egomaniac.”

Brandi also expressed some sympathy for Raquel over how she was treated by her former friends and castmates.

“It was like a gang mentality. Like everyone get mad at Rachel… Like there’s a guy who’s 40. He’s like the most popular guy on the show and he’s giving her attention. She’s just like a little deer but everyone’s mad at her,” stated Brandi. “I understand being upset with her, I would be too but it just seems like everyone was jumping on her… I didn’t like the way that it all went down honestly.”

Still, despite her comments, Brandi insisted that she and Scheana are on good terms today.

“Scheana and I are fine now,” she said. “It just takes time.”

She also addressed her treatment from fellow Bravo stars after her allegations against the network and Andy.

“I don’t think the Housewives are talking to me,” she said.

But she claimed that some are still supporting her behind the scenes.

“Some of them are, like, talking to me on low key, like [saying] ‘We have your back,’” she explained. “There’s like four … [but] I am getting a lot of support from people on Bravo that are too afraid to speak up.”

“And I appreciate [them],” said Brandi, and indicated she’ll never reveal their identities.

VIDEO: Ariana Madix Admits She Was Struggling “Financially” Before ‘Scandoval’ in Vanderpump Rules Sneak Peek, and Shares How Much She Had Left

[ad_1]

Ariana Madix is seen opening up about her finances during a chat with her Vanderpump Rules castmates, including Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney, and Ally Lewber, in a recently shared preview of this week’s new episode.

As fans suspected she was making millions off “Scandoval,” which saw her former boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, 41, getting caught in a months-long affair with their then-friend and co-star, Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29, Ariana, 38, admitted that she was not in a good place financially before the scandal broke.

“How do you feel like you’ve processed this whole separation and just still being in the same house?” Scheana, 38, asks Ariana in the sneak peek at the March 12 episode of Pump Rules.

“I’m dealing with it in a legal back and forth with my lawyer.  The internet thinks I’ve made millions of dollars. That is not true,” Ariana replies.

According to Ariana, she was not “financially prepared” to move on March 1, when she discovered a NSFW video of Raquel on Sandoval’s phone during one of his performances at TomTom.

“Literally, the week before all this happened, I remember emailing my agent and my manager and being like, ‘Guys, let’s start really trying to do some sh*t because I’m not in a good place financially,’” she recalls.

Meanwhile, in a cast confessional, she further opens up about the dire situation she faced before learning Sandoval was cheating on her.

“When I first started making decent money, we decided we wanted to buy a house and then I was playing catch up all the way up until Katie and I found a great location for a sandwich shop. Then, a bunch of my money went towards that and now I was at a point where, in March, I was literally on my last $2,000. I’m not kidding.”

As Pump Rules fans may have heard, Ariana and Katie, 37, have faced numerous challenges in their journey to open Something About Her, including permit issues, and have reportedly spent nearly $1 million getting the place ready for its upcoming opening.

In a final moment back in the scene with her co-stars, Ariana expresses frustration with the circumstances she was met with after her and Sandoval’s breakup.

“He created the situation and now I’m f*cking scrambling to get my f*cking sh*t together to be in a financially responsible way, [and] move onto the next step,” she shares.

While Ariana is a co-owner of the home she shares with Sandoval, he has yet to agree to move out so they can sell it, although he’s claimed he’s offered to buy her out.

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

Tom Sandoval Claims Ariana Madix Did Not Act “Reasonably” With Lawsuit as He Denies Request to Sell Home and Requests ‘Compensation’ for Repairs, Plus Kristen Shares if Ariana Reached Out Amid His Mental Health Struggles

[ad_1]

Tom Sandoval is clapping back at Ariana Madix‘s lawsuit against him regarding the potentially impending sale of their $2 million home.

In a filing of his own last Friday, the Vanderpump Rules star, 41, slammed Ariana, 38, over what he claims was a lack of facts as he requested he be compensated for the money he’s spent on repairs and improvements and Kristen Doute, 41, spoke out about the communication Ariana had with Sandoval amid the mental health struggles he faced following their highly-publicized split.

According to court documents obtained by Page Six on February 26, Sandoval is accusing Ariana of failing to disclose “sufficient facts to state a cause of action against” him in the lawsuit she filed against him in January.

He also said she “failed to mitigate whatever damages” she’s “suffered” in her paperwork and didn’t act “reasonably and in good faith.”

If Ariana is granted her request for a partition of sale, which would require the two of them to sell their property and split the proceeds, Sandoval wants to “receive accounting and compensatory adjustments” for the repairs and improvements he’s made to increase the value of their home, which they purchased back in 2019.

In other Pump Rules news, Kristen revealed on her podcast last week that amid Sandoval’s post-affair mental health struggles, Ariana, along with other cast members, reached out to him.

While looking back at a recently-aired episode of the Bravo reality show on the February 16 episode of Sex, Love and What Else Matters, via Us Weekly, Kristen described Sandoval’s comments about his suicidal thoughts as “terrifying.”

“I don’t want to hear that from anyone. And I remember hearing about this back in the Scandoval time in the spring of last year,” she recalled. “Not only did [Scheana Shay] reach out to him as she said she did — heartfelt, 100 percent — I too reached out to him. Ariana reached out to him.”

“A lot of us texted Ariana and said, ‘You realize we need to reach out to him, we’ve heard some rumors.’ This wasn’t a secret. We heard some scary things that he was thinking about. He’s also not the only one,” she continued.

On the February 13 episode of Pump Rules, Sandoval opened up about the hardships he faced after the reveal of his affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29, in March 2023.

“If I f*cking say I am sorry and I cry then it is [called] crocodile tears. I battled with suicide [thoughts]. Don’t tell me what I felt,” he stated. “I was hanging on by a thread. The walls start closing and you can’t see past the hurt and the pain. You can’t dream about better days. I was getting to the point where I was like, ‘What is the f*cking point?”

Vanderpump Rules’ Katie Maloney Reacts to Jax & Brittany Breakup Rumors and Discusses Ariana Shutting Out Schwartz, Love Triangle, and Moving on From ‘Scandoval’

[ad_1]

Vanderpump Rules cast member Katie Maloney is sharing her thoughts on Ariana Madix‘s refusal to forgive Tom Schwartz following the March 2023 reveal of Tom Sandoval‘s affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.

While attending the People’s Choice Awards in Santa Monica, California, on Sunday night, Katie, 37, revealed how she feels about Ariana’s estrangement from Schwartz, 40, the love triangle she and her ex-spouse found themselves in amid season 11, and rumors of a split between Jax Taylor, 44, and Brittany Cartwright, 35, while also sharing if the cast moved past “Scandoval.”

“I think [Ariana]’s entitled to [be] however the hell she wants to be,” Katie said during a February 18 interview with Access Hollywood. “[There was] not enough life [lived] yet. I think she was still recovering from watching a lot of the stuff that she’d seen on the show. She was not aware of some of that basement behavior that was happening.”

As Ariana attempted to keep her distance from Schwartz amid filming, Katie found herself interested in the same woman as her ex.

“Every woman’s dream, right?” she laughed. “I’m not gonna change my life for him anymore. I’ve already changed a lot so you’ll see how that unfolds.”

While Jax and Brittany have been facing rumors of a breakup in recent days, Katie was unaware of the potential drama between them, saying, “I did not know. But wow.”

“Who knows? That I’m unaware of,” she added.

As for whether she and her castmates were able to move forward from the drama surrounding the secret romance of Sandoval, 41, and Raquel, 29, Katie reminded fans that filming on season 11 began shortly after they filmed the season 10 reunion last March.

“I think we do for the most part. [But you’ll] get more. Things heat up, it’s a bit of a slow burn this year,” she explained. “I think people need to keep the expectations lower going into the season just because, obviously, like we’ve said a million times, not enough life was lived between the reunion and then picking up cameras again.”

“It was a lot of aftermath still,” she noted.

Vanderpump Rules Recap: Sandoval Admits Suicidal Thoughts, and Faces Off With Scheana as She Calls Him a Narcissist, Plus He Lashes Out at Lisa, & Ariana Calls Schwartz a Lost Cause

[ad_1]

647

Sandoval is clearly feeling the heat from the group and he is finally admitting how much it is affecting him on this episode of Vanderpump Rules. Schwartz hatches a plan to get the gang back together, but not without Ariana pushing back once she hears Sandoval received an invite. Things aren’t so clear cut with these friendships, but one thing is for sure…Ariana very well might be the “queen of the group.”

Even though James storms out in anger, Sandoval’s birthday party of randoms continues. The conversation with James has rocked Sandoval, so he pulls Schwartz aside to vent. Sandoval cannot believe that James feels betrayed by this affair, when James pulled pretty much the same move…ten years ago. This grudge feels like quite a stretch and even Schwartz tells Sandoval he should have apologized to James. Schwartz tries to explain to Sandoval that he can’t get so defensive each time someone comes at him, but it’s basically like talking to a wall since Sandoval only worries about himself.

In the meantime, the ladies of VPR are busy emo-nighting. James and Ally roll up after attending Sandoval’s party (for 2.5 seconds) and James likens the party to playing chess. Scheana is baffled that James received an invite to Sandoval’s, yet she remains blocked by him!

James holds story time as he tells the crew that Sandoval tried to turn the tables on him by going back ten years ago to his “affair” with Kristen. Ariana is aghast by this, but is not too surprised he be so bold, considering he only hangs out with people that he pays and he is used to people agreeing with him.

Ariana, Scheana, and Katie guest “DJ” emo night while Schwartz bids adieu to Sandoval to try and get there in time for the girls’ debut. Scheana invited Schwartz, after all, and he doesn’t want to let her down. Alas, he misses the performance because he took too long saying goodbye to Schwartz, for fear of shaking up their friendship. The reality is now he has p*ssed off Scheana for missing the whole thing, especially her emo version of Good as Gold, a dream for Scheana, considering she always wanted to be the next Fergie or Gwen Stefani. Lol.

Sandoval gets a sorry version of the Happy Birthday song as Billie Lee brings the cake over to him. He cries thinking about those that have stuck around, but is especially upset because Raquel/Rachel did not even reach out to wish him a happy birthday. Sandoval claims that she is his best friend and that he loves and misses her.

The next day, Katie tentatively enters Ariana and Sandoval’s shared house in fear of bumping into him. Luckily, he is not around post-party, and so she gets an IV treatment with Ariana. They discuss the friendship between Katie and Scheana and worry that Scheana’s soft spots with people will continue to bring energy that neither girl wants around.

LVP heads to Pump and looks around the empty shell of what it once was. She second guesses the closing of this restaurant, but realizes that nothing lasts forever. She then curses in surprise when she Sandoval enters, bearing flowers. LVP tells him that the gentlemanly thing to do would be to get out of the house he shares with Ariana, but of course Sandoval has a litany of reasons why he should stay.

Sandoval brings up Scheana and addresses the podcast that really rocked him. He feels like Scheana should take a day off from harassing him and Raquel/Rachel, citing the episode featuring Neema, Raquel/Rachel’s ex. According to Sandoval, Neema spoke about sexual things on Scheana’s podcast, including the false accusation that Sandoval and Ariana were in an open relationship. Apparently, this podcast truly rocked Raquel/Rachel and Sandoval, of course, came in as her hero.

Sandoval goes on to tell LVP that the mob mentality is driving him mad. He drops a bombshell when he says he even battled suicidal thoughts and snaps at LVP, telling her not to tell him how he feels. LVP immediately jumps to action, as she knows suicide all too well since she lost her brother that way. She is upset because she made Sandoval promise her if he ever felt that way, he would come to her…and he didn’t. LVP begs Sandoval to be more sensitive and apologetic and perhaps things could get better with some of the strained relationships amongst the group.

Katie and Scheana have decided to truly work on their friendship one on one. They sit down for some mocktails and chat about Katie’s upcoming date. Scheana then apologizes for inviting Schwartz to Emo Night and realizes that was an “old Scheana” move. Scheana discusses her self-realization about people in her inner circle.

Schwartz brings the pups over to Vanderpump Dogs for a grooming and for an LVP sesh. He talks about his brother’s cirrhosis, which has now made Schwartz rethink his alcohol consumption. Regarding Schwartz and Sandy’s, LVP doesn’t believe the punishment fits the crime. Schwartz and LVP can’t figure out why people can’t move on when Ariana has already. LVP talks about how she was frightened after hearing Sandoval’s suicidal thoughts and she begs Schwartz to help “change the whole narrative.” LVP mentions a restaurant opening in Tahoe and so Schwartz invites himself. Together, they come up with a plan to have everyone come- an olive branch of all olive branches.

It’s See You Next Tuesday and while James spins, the crew hangs out…even Schwartz, who kinda invited himself. When Ariana arrives, Schwartz bounces before he could get iced out. He finds James and talks about the new spot in Tahoe that he found out about through LVP. He tells James he will be extending the invite for Tahoe to everyone in the group…including Sandoval and James decides he will go.

Sandoval enters the lion’s den as he walks into SUR for the event. He has decided to take LVP’s advice and try to apologize. Everyone eyes Sandoval from afar and Ariana refuses to have him in her circle. No one can believe he would come support James after the chat they had the other day. This demonstrates just how delusional Sandoval is.

Sandoval talks about collateral damage with friendships and this leads directly into Schwartz trying to mend the divide. While Sandoval makes up with SURvers, Schwartz tells the group about the upcoming Tahoe trip. No one can understand why he would invite Sandoval and Ariana makes it clear that she doesn’t want to be anywhere near Schwartz OR Sandoval.

Lala tries to explain that one day Sandoval will “devastate” Schwartz and Ariana chimes in, essentially calling Schwartz a lost cause. She states, “I gave up [on Schwartz] a long time ago and my life is better for it.” Schwartz tells Ariana she is not the queen of the group and her ego is not appreciated. She should not speak on behalf of the whole group, and TBH, it’s kind of funny that she makes this big to-do about not wanting to be around her ex…that she still lives with.

Scheana excuses herself to use the restroom and conveniently walks past Sandoval. When Sandoval asks to speak to Scheana, they meet in the SUR alley for old time’s sake. Scheana talks about not expecting to get blocked after reaching out post Sandoval friend’s death. Scheana reminds Sandoval that she has a heart, unlike Sandoval. Perhaps if he was honest and remorseful from the get, things would have been easier for Sandoval.

Sandoval tells Scheana that her podcast went too far, but Scheana makes it clear that Sandoval needs to humble himself. Everything he is doing is the definition of a narcissist. Right before Scheana walks away, Sandoval reports, “You should know that after that Neema interview, I really had to talk her [Raquel] down.” Scheana explains that she was just looking to put the truth out there…it’s not her fault that the truth was ugly. Sandoval questions if it’s Scheana’s business and Scheana reminds him that none of this would have happened if he hadn’t slept with Raquel to begin with, leaving him speechless…for once.

Vanderpump Rules Fans Are Turning on Ariana Madix as She Faces Major Backlash Over Living Situation With Tom Sandoval, See Fans’ Comments

[ad_1]

Ariana Madix predicted fans would turn on her amid Vanderpump Rules season 11, and she seems to be right — at least in part.

Following this week’s episode of the Bravo reality show, which featured Tom Sandoval, 38, calling her out for failing to pay the bills for their shared home, viewers reacted badly to a Reality Blurb article in which Ariana, 38, defended her decision to quit paying by stating that Sandoval, 41, was refusing to provide her with an itemized list regarding their expenses.

“Vanderpump Rules Star Ariana Madix Explains Her Decision to Stop Paying the Bills and Mortgage on Her Home With Tom Sandoval as He Slams Her for “Trying to Be Difficult,” read the title of the article, which was shared on Instagram on February 7.

On the Pump Rules: After Show on Wednesday, which was shared just after the episode aired, Ariana revealed why she quit paying the bills.

“Basically, I’d asked for this itemized breakdown for so long, and it would be like, ‘You owe x amount of money,’ and I’m like, ‘How did you figure this out?’” she explained. “When we were together, maybe I would’ve trusted that sh*t to be accurate, but once all this sh*t went down, it’s like, I don’t trust a f*cking word that you say, so if you’re gonna tell me I owe you a certain amount of money, you better be able to show your work.”

After reading the article, many fans sounded off in the comments section of the Reality Blurb post.

“So I’m stop paying my bills because I don’t trust you (because you cheated on me). I don’t want you to buy me out… because you cheated on me. I see a thread, and it is pathetic. Also stop with the filters — you look nothing like your photo,” one person wrote.

“She’s absolutely insufferable,” another agreed. “She is happily miserable just to spite him. No wonder he cheated.”

“She’s coming across… spoiled and entitled,” complained a third.

Another person said they were “soooo over this mean, heartless chick.”

“She’s painful to watch,” they added.

Someone else slammed Ariana as “overrated” and immature.

“Girl you hated sex and affection he needed it and found it. Grow up,” they wrote as another targeted Ariana’s “messy room.”

“Imagine being a grown a** woman who doesn’t know how much their mortgage/bills are,” shared another fan. “So over this chick. Being cheated on doesn’t mean you get to stop paying your bills for a house you’re legit still living in and are trying to force a sale on. She’s a professional victim, so toxic.”

“Tired of hearing about her,” added someone else.

Another IG user said Ariana’s reasoning behind not paying was the “most bullsh*t response ever.”

“She doesn’t know the amount of her mortgage or bills are so she just doesn’t pay,” they sarcastically stated.

Then, after someone said Ariana is “not a star,” another person came to her defense.

“Everyone hating on Ariana, let’s not forget Tom took out a second mortgage to finance Schwartz & Sandy’s. [Lisa Vanderpump] even told Ariana that was a terrible thing for him to do, putting her in jeopardy,” they noted.

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

REPORT: Vanderpump Rules Banned From Filming at Schwartz & Sandy’s After Sandoval’s Affair, Plus Schwartz Discusses Scheana Kiss and ‘Scandoval’ Regrets

[ad_1]

2.7K

Vanderpump Rules cameras were reportedly banned from filming scenes for season 11 at Schwartz & Sandy’s following the backlash the restaurant and bar received in the wake of co-owner Tom Sandoval‘s affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.

According to a new report, one of the venue’s other co-owners, Greg Morris, kept Bravo and its production company away from Schwartz & Sandy’s, which opened in November 2022, because he felt that exposing the venue to more fandom would “ruin the business more than it had already been ruined.”

“Production was banned from filming at Schwartz & Sandy’s for season 11 because there was so much toxicity that was aimed at the restaurant,” a source told The U.S. Sun on January 31. “The abundant amount of toxicity aimed at the restaurant led to many issues with staff, whether it was working there for the wrong reasons, like, trying to get camera attention or added pressure they received while trying to serve the guests.”

Schwartz & Sandy’s “went through a very tough time” after Sandoval’s affair with Raquel, 29, was uncovered in March 2023, and exposing more of that drama on Pump Rules was not something Greg wanted to do.

“Greg took control and did not allow cameras to film at Schwartz & Sandy’s because he felt like the restaurant and everyone who worked there was unfairly targeted,” the insider explained. “S&S took a big hit and Greg thought filming there would ruin the business more than it had already been ruined post-Scandoval.”

As Pump Rules fans have likely noticed, Sandoval and Schwartz didn’t film the series’ opening credits at Schwartz & Sandy’s, as expected. Rather, they were seen at the bar of their other restaurant, TomTom.

“As for the opening credits, there was never a discussion about them not filming at Schwartz & Sandy’s for the opening credits. It was just assumed that they could not film the opening credits there since it wasn’t part of the season,” the source noted. “It can also be assumed that since [Lisa Vanderpump] is the executive producer on VPR, she would rather promote the bar she has invested in rather than theirs.”

After Sandoval’s betrayal of Ariana Madix, 38, was made public, he was reportedly “pushed out” of Schwartz & Sandy’s by staff who “couldn’t stand him” and was “rarely” seen at the restaurant.

“Schwartz has been picking up the pieces and has been very hands-on because he did not want to see all their hard work suffer and did not want to let Greg down,” the source said. “Schwartz and Greg became very close and even Greg was putting in a lot of legwork and made sure everything didn’t implode.”

Nearly one year later, and as Sandoval begins to frequent the venue more, the insider said there’s still hope that the restaurant will be seen on Pump Rules‘ potential 12th season.

“Greg and the Tom Toms have had recent discussions where they sat down and tried to make a game plan of how they can refocus on S&S and just put the past behind them,” the source stated. “Greg is hoping that people’s minds will change about S&S and it can have a successful comeback. Both guys have other commitments taking up their time, but they’re doing their best to refocus on S&S. Who knows, maybe for season 12 – if there is one – Schwartz & Sandy’s can be featured on the show again.”

Meanwhile, during an appearance on On Air With Ryan Seacrest on February 2, Schwartz spoke of his role in Sandoval and Raquel’s romance, admitting he was “collateral damage in a very dumb affair” but adding that he was going through a lot at the time that he kept the secret from Ariana, including his dad being near death.

“I probably should have been more proactive,” Schwartz confessed. “I was kind of a basket case. … I was under the gun and I’m not particularly proud of how I handled some adversity.”

As he faced hard times with his family, Schwartz looked to his beloved apartment plants, which he claims were therapeutic.

“They were helping me with my rage. That was a vague reference to that one Friends episode. … That’s where I was at in the beginning of the season,” he shared.

As for his alleged makeout with Scheana Shay, 38, which she’s denied, Schwartz said, “I know I’m not supposed to [downplay] things. But it was a long time ago.”

Tom Sandoval Admits He Was “Really Pissed” With Ariana & Katie Over Penis Flute Drama

[ad_1]

Vanderpump Rules is one of those shows that people can’t stop talking about. It’s now in its 11th season, which means there are many moments from the show that stand out to viewers. However, one thing people can’t forget is that ugly penis flute that once existed in Tom and Ariana‘s home.

Now, Tom is talking about the flute and why it’s so important to him. Also, it seems he is dating Victoria Lee Robinson.

For those not in the know, Tom now wants to buy Ariana out of the home they shared together. Additionally, it seems the infamous penis flute is back, as it was seen in a recent episode of the show.

Tom recently took to his podcast and had quite a bit to say. Not only did he talk about the season premiere, but he also discussed why his penis flute mattered so much to him.

He starts by discussing what he felt like for Ariana and Katie to talk about the house. On the season premiere of Vanderpump Rules, it was revealed that Ariana’s friend Logan broke the penis flute over Tom’s cheating, after which Tom had his assistant Ann glue it back together – something Ariana and Katie found to be ridiculous.

He said, “When I saw Katie and Ariana talking about, you know, wanting to keep the house and the penis flute gluing it back together, I was really, really pissed. “

His cohost then asked why the flute mattered so much.

Tom said, “Because, look, we got that in Mexico. Somebody, like, hand sculpted it. It’s clay. It’s not wood. It’s like a flower pot. And it came out with us and went around with us, like, the entire night. And it was a part of a hilarious, like, very memorable, awesome part of our show.”

He then talked about the video of Rihanna watching the show and it being a part of the scene. It’s clear that it being broken upset him because it seemed to hold actual meaning despite being a bit of a silly object.

In other news, it seems Tom is dating again, as TMZ is reporting that he has been seen with Victoria, who happens to be a model that Leonardo DiCaprio once dated. According to insiders, they have been dating for about a month or so.

They have both been on each other’s Instagram accounts.

Tom Sandoval Shares Real Reason He Won’t Move Out as Ariana Talks His Cringy Gift to Raquel

[ad_1]

Ariana Madix revealed a cringy gift Tom Sandoval gave to Rachel “Raquel” Leviss amid her stint in treatment after the airing of the premiere episode of Vanderpump Rules on Tuesday.

As Sandoval, 41, explained the real reason he refused to move out of their $2 million home and accused her of being “performative” with her anger, Ariana, 38, shared what her ex gifted his former mistress while also suspecting her former co-star, Billie Lee, 39, was living in their home.

“We don’t have separate mailboxes so I’m not like going through stuff but something comes and you’re like ‘Is that for me? Oh no, it’s coming from somewhere in Arizona,’” Ariana began on the January 30 episode of the Pump Rules: After Show.

Because Sandoval and Raquel, 29, remained in touch throughout her time in treatment, Ariana often came across their correspondence — while also learning new details in regard to their sordid affair from those previously close to her ex.

“People who used to be friends with him … started sending me all kinds of like info and text messages and pictures of them in St. Louis and all this stuff because they were like ‘I’m not friends with him anymore. I f*cking hate him so here’s everything that I know,’” she shared.

According to Ariana, she suspects Raquel was sending things to their house because she didn’t realize she was a co-owner of her and Sandoval’s home.

“There’s one thing that I saw, I’m struggling to talk about it because it’s so cringe, I think it was like after she stopped wanting to talk to him or something. He got one of those lamps that like, I have one and you have one and it’s like Bluetooth or something so it’s like if I go touch it where I am, it’ll turn on where you are,” Ariana described, adding, “Oh my god, I can’t.”

Although Sandoval said he was “careful” to keep his packages to Raquel hidden, he confirmed they were “definitely” communicating in the weeks leading up to filming on Pump Rules season 11.

“We’d send each other letters and stuff like that,” he explained. “[Her lightning bolt] postcard was sent like a month before. I don’t know what she was thinking sending that to my address. She’s like, ‘I don’t know what I was thinking. It was my first time out.’ She had left the facility, they had gone out somewhere and she got a postcard, and I was like ‘I can’t find it.’”

In addition to revealing he sent Raquel “candy” and saying he “learned how to write and stamp wax” and would “put sparkles” in envelopes, Sandoval confirmed his cringy gift to his ex.

“I sent her one of these lights where like if I turn it a certain color, it changes, like we can communicate with these lights. I was very much in love,” he admitted.

During another segment of the After Show, Ariana and Sandoval’s living arrangements were discussed.

“[I didn’t move out] because all those bills will be coming out of my accounts. I knew that if I moved out, she would probably have a friend move in and I would just, nothing would happen,” Sandoval explained. Plus, he added, “We’re both so busy. Even when this happened, she’s traveling around, working like crazy. I’m leaving, I’m touring. I swear there were times where like, nobody was in that house for like weeks at a time.”

Sandoval also “couldn’t afford” to get another place.

“It’s one of those things where I feel like it was more of a bigger deal to everybody else than to us,” he noted.

While Ariana has seemed quite irate with him at times, and deservedly so, Sandoval suspected she’s not as angry as she portrays herself to be, even suggesting her emotions are “performative.”

“I feel like she really went out of her way to dehumanize me but it feels more performative than anything because at the end of the day, if she thinks I’m this like, serial killer, then why is she okay living with me?” he wondered. “I feel like on some level she trusted me and felt safe with me being there than her being alone in that house.”

After stating that the “respectable” thing for Sandoval to do would’ve been for him to accept Raquel’s offer of staying at her apartment, Ariana said Sandoval “outright refused” to vacate the home — even just two days after his affair with Raquel was revealed.

“I think he also felt like all of this stuff happened to him, as opposed to him making this stuff happen, and so because of that belief, he also felt like all of it was very unfair,” she explained. “So I think that was part of the reason he was like digging his heels in and throwing parties and doing whatever else because it was like almost like a kid throwing a tantrum.”

“It was weird but then there were parts of it that weren’t so bad,” she continued. “The primary bedroom being as it is kind of set me up to be in a place where I could potentially be in there and have everything that I needed and not really feel like I was having to uproot or do anything that made me feel uncomfortable.”

Still, Ariana felt out of the loop with what was going on in the rest of her residence, even admitting, “I think Billie Lee literally lives in my house right now.”

Luckily, she maintained a positive outlook about the future division of her assets.

“I lived through what I thought was my worst-case scenario and I learned I can do anything, So I can live in an annoying living situation for two months if it means I’m setting my future up in a good way for me,” Ariana concluded.

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

Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Sandoval on Reason He Blocked Scheana, If He Blocked Summer Moon

[ad_1]

675

Tom Sandoval is opening up about the reason behind his decision to block Scheana Shay, and her family members, on Instagram.

After Scheana, 38, revealed on the premiere episode of Vanderpump Rules that Sandoval not only blocked her, but also her podcast, her sister, and her daughter, Summer Moon, 2, Sandoval, 41, explained why he cut social ties with his castmate, revealed if she’s still blocked, and reflected on the emotional state he was in after the sudden death of longtime friend Ali Rafiq.

“I knew Ali. He came to visit Tom, super nice, Tom loved him like a brother, obviously, they were just so close. He was so protective of Ali. They just had always the best of times together. He’d always come to music festivals so everyone gets very close those nights. So it was hard for sure,” James Kennedy, 32, shared on the January 30 episode of the Vanderpump Rules: After Show.

Scheana also knew that losing Ali was going to “take a huge toll” on Sandoval, which prompted her decision to send him a text message.

“I felt like I wouldn’t be a human if I didn’t reach out and send my condolences, and I think honestly everyone pretty much in the group around then did, even [Ariana Madix] did,” Scheana revealed.

While James reached out as well, neither of them got a response.

“No one did,” Scheana confirmed. “I didn’t even need a response it was just, when the response was him blocking me, I was like, okay.”

After James noted that the social media diss was “so Tom,” Sandoval looked back on what he described as “the worst periods of this whole situation.”

“Emotionally, mentally, [I] just [was] really down and really upset and just broken,” he admitted. “I’m scrolling through constantly, and I see Scheana with another podcast episode interviewing my gardener’s nephew like to talk to me about my f*cking sleeping habits and how that is the way a narcissist sleeps and all this sh*t. And I’m like, f*cking over it. And then I get a text message from her about like, ‘Oh my gosh, let me know if you need anything at all. We’re here for you, Tom,’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I need you to back the f*ck off for like 24 hours. Like, stop obsessing over me.’”

Even Scheana admitted that talking about “Scandoval” on her podcast became a weekly occurrence.

“But it did stop after that happened,” she clarified.

“That’s why I was f*cking pissed,” Sandoval explained. “I was super upset. I was insulted that she had texted me as I’m scrolling through and hearing her and [Brock Davies] like laughing hysterically calling me and [Raquel Leviss] dumb and sh*t. You gotta be f*cking kidding me.”

According to Scheana, she felt that Sandoval blocking her was his way of telling her, “F*ck you,” and making it clear that he needed her for more than the death of his friend.

“So kind of, ‘F*ck you. You don’t get to be here for me now when you haven’t been here for me.’ But with what he did to Ariana, he didn’t deserve for any of us to be there during that time,” she noted.

In addition to blocking Scheana, Sandoval explained why her toddler ended up blocked as well.

“I don’t block people ever really, but when I do I just hit ‘block account and any accounts associated with it.’ I would do that so if people were trolling me they can’t just start another account and do it again,” he shared. “For some reason I guess that blocked Summer Moon’s account.”

When Sandoval was then asked if he still had Scheana blocked, he said, “No, I don’t think so. No. I unblocked everybody.”

Meanwhile, Scheana noted, “I think he still follows my mom.”

Pump Rules’ Tom Sandoval on Who Had Most Empathy for Him, Potential Redemption Arc, & Ariana

[ad_1]

101

Tom Sandoval is speaking out about his potential redemption arc and viewers possibly turning on his ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, amid Vanderpump Rules season 11.

Ahead of the new season’s premiere, Sandoval, 41, is dishing on what brought the cast “together” amid production, sharing his thoughts on viewers’ perception, and revealing which co-stars had the most empathy for him after “Scandoval.” He also reacted to Katie Maloney‘s warning to Scheana Shay, 38, and he admitted the season would’ve been “different” had Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29, not quit.

“I think that a lot of my castmates and friends, we had such deep connections, and obviously when all this stuff happened, we weren’t talking at all, and it was a lot of, on both sides, being very reactive,” Sandoval recalled during an interview with Page Six at the premiere party last week.

Months later, after the cast had time to cool off, Sandoval said there was a shift in their dynamic.

“When you start to see us come together, you can’t help but find that common ground, or the [reason] we became friends — the love that has always been there,” he explained.

As far as Ariana and her potentially bad season, Sandoval said he wasn’t sure how fans would receive her since he doesn’t know much about her season 11 storyline.

“I can’t really say much about it because I wasn’t really around her,” he shared. “I didn’t talk to her so I don’t know if she did certain things or how she acted.”

According to Sandoval, Tom Schwartz, 40, and his longtime friend Kyle Chan were quite supportive of him after “Scandoval” broke in March of last year. But they weren’t the only ones he had in his corner.

“Definitely [Brock Davies] and Scheana,” he replied when asked who was “most supportive.”

When Sandoval was then asked about Katie, 37, warning Scheana not to get too close to him because it could jeopardize her friendship with Ariana, 38, he said, “I’m not necessarily in agreement with that, but I’m not Katie Maloney.”

“She obviously has her thoughts,” he added.

Also during the interview, Sandoval was asked how the season would be different had Raquel chosen to return.

“Oh, I have no idea. Oh my gosh.. Of course, it probably would’ve been different,” he stated.

Lisa Vanderpump Fires Back at Raquel's Claims About Dog Graham and Shares Why She Was Unhappy With Bethenny Interview, Suggests She Can't Be Trusted and Reveals She Was Making “Six-Figures”

[ad_1]

Lisa Vanderpump is firing back at Rachel “Raquel” Leviss‘ suggestion that she attempted to use her former dog, Graham, to lure her back to Vanderpump Rules — and set her up for an on-camera surprise reveal of the dog being given back to her former fiance, James Kennedy, with whom she previously shared the pet.

While attending the Pump Rules season 11 premiere party on Wednesday, Lisa, 63, gave a nod to Raquel’s despicable betrayal of Ariana Madix, 38, whose now-ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, 41, she slept with for months, as she called out Raquel, 29, for failing to have her “facts” straight and reacted to her tell-all podcast interview with Bethenny Frankel, 53.

“Well, she also said that she’s Ariana [Madix]’s best friend. That’s how I respond to that,” Lisa told Us Weekly on January 17 after being asked about using Graham for a storyline. “I do think if she’s going to call something out, she should know the story. I take my dog foundation [The Vanderpump Dog Foundation] and rescuing dogs very seriously. That dog was brought to my attention, so I would not use that dog. It was delivered to Vanderpump Dogs, but you’re going to see the way it transpires [when season 11 airs].”

After Raquel entered a mental health facility in March 2023, she surrendered Graham to trainers at the California Doodle Rescue due to his aggressive behavior, which she has since blamed on James. A while later, the dog wound up at Vanderpump Dogs and was ultimately reunited with James, who has given him a new name: Hippie.

Although Graham seems to be doing well with James and girlfriend Ally Lewber, 29, who recently confirmed positive “progress,” Raquel said on her podcast earlier this month that a false story was put out about the animal.

“Basically, the story that they put out there is that Lisa told everyone that I surrendered my dog at a kill shelter and he was hours away from being euthanized,” she alleged on Rachel Goes Rogue.

In response, Lisa said, “She should get all the facts before she kind of makes these statements. And I don’t think anybody’s really trusting what she says. The lion doesn’t care what the sheep are doing.”

During a separate interview at the same event, Lisa admitted she wasn’t happy about Raquel’s August 2023 interview with Bethenny.

“I wish she’d actually come to me instead of sitting in the safety of somebody else’s podcast,” Lisa told Page Six. “Had she come to me, I think I would’ve been good to her. Because it’s one thing just saying this out here, just saying that out there. And some of it wasn’t true! Like I was paying her like an intern. I know exactly how much money she made. It was six figures. It was good!”

While Raquel told Bethenny she hadn’t “seen a penny” from “Scandoval,” Lisa previously said she made more than $350,000 for season 10.

She also said she wished Raquel had “come back and really spoken her truth.”

“She knows I’m not gonna be judgmental. I’m gonna listen and give her a moment,” Lisa noted. “All the people that are so involved in the story [simply] wanted to see growth [and] contrition.”

According to Lisa, she was interested in hearing how Raquel “felt” after she “went away for a few months.”

“I think it would’ve behooved her to come back. I really do,” she shared. “But maybe not the whole season because I think they were all pretty kind of reticent.”

Lisa then stated that a return may have been “too much for [Raquel],” adding that she “understand[s] that, too.”

Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix Sues Ex Tom Sandoval Over Sale of $2 Million Home as Lawsuit Details Are Revealed, Plus What She Wants Judge to Do

[ad_1]

3.6K

Ariana Madix has filed a lawsuit against ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, amid her efforts to unload the $2 million home they’ve shared for the past several years, including the months that followed the reveal of his affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.

As the former Vanderpump Rules couple continues to co-own the home, Ariana, 38, is taking legal measures that she hopes will force Sandoval, 41, into selling the home, which they purchased in 2019, so that they can both move on with their lives.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ on January 5 and filed in a Los Angeles Superior Court, Ariana wants a “partition by sale,” in which a judge would order her and Sandoval to sell their home and split the profits, rather than a “division in kind,” which would allow them to maintain ownership interest in the property and — and potentially let one of them sell the property to a third party.

Ariana’s filing comes just weeks after a sneak peek at the upcoming 11th season of Pump Rules featured her complaining to Katie Maloney, 36, about Sandoval’s hesitancy to sell.

“Three months ago, when Tom blew up our lives, I was not, like, prepared to be kicked out of my house and start a whole new freaking life. So even though we still live under the same roof, I’ve been able to maintain a no-contact policy. We communicate via his assistant Anne, which is great for me because I don’t have to look at his stupid face, but bad for Anne because that’s literally her job,” Ariana revealed.

Ariana then said that because she and Sandoval weren’t in agreement about the fate of their home, they had continued to live there together.

“I feel like the house is the last thing that’s tying things. But what I think is psychotic is that he wants to buy me out and stay here,” Ariana shared. “You don’t have to move and I do? What, are you gonna bring your little pen pal back over here? I don’t f*cking think so.”

Around the same time, Ariana appeared on an episode of Watch What Happens Live, where she spoke of how she’s been handling the co-owning of her home with Sandoval.

“During the time that I’ve been on Dancing With the Stars and preparing for it, I, for the most part, have been in an Airbnb with my dog and my cat and some of my things, but I regularly go back and forth, and I’m working on the situation with the ownership of the house. I would love for that to be resolved quickly,” Ariana explained.

“Whatever happens with it has to be agreed upon between both owners, hence the issue. I wanna sell it. He does not,” she added.

Vanderpump Rules season 11 premieres on Tuesday, January 30, at 8/7c on Bravo.

Kristen Doute was called out for cheating on Tom Sandoval with Josh Peck‘s friend on a recent episode of Nick Viall‘s podcast.

As the Nickelodeon child actor, 37, was joined by his wife, Paige O’Brien, 33, he put his longtime friend on blast, claiming the Vanderpump Rules star, 40, was bouncing back and forth between Sandoval, 41, and his friend, Gary, before she and Sandoval debuted their troubled romance on Bravo.

“I’ve known Kristen Doute since I was 20,” Josh began on the December 19 episode of The Viall Files.

According to Josh, he was first introduced to Kristen after his best friend’s older brother met her on MySpace.

“We’re at his bombed-out apartment in North Hollywood … and this girl comes in, and like Kristen, I mean she’s still, but then, smoke show. Comes in and we’re like, ‘Gary, who is this girl you met on the internet? This is not normal. It’s 2007.’ And he’s like, ‘She’s cool and she’s from Michigan,’” Josh recalled.

Although Pump Rules was not in existence at the time, Kristen was employed at SUR Restaurant, where the series was originally based, and she quickly became a part of Josh’s friend group.

“She really becomes embedded with us, and like, she just hung out, didn’t have any airs about her. And then she’s dating Gary, and they break up because she cheats on Gary with Sandoval. Then she cheats on Sandoval with Gary,” Josh revealed.

At that point, Paige interjected, adding, “And didn’t like Gary and Sandoval figure it out and they became in contact? They were like, ‘Are we dating the same girl?’ They kept going back and forth.”

Paige then quickly added, “I love you, Kristen,” which prompted a reaction from Kristen when the clip was shared on Nick’s Instagram page.

“I love you too [Paige O’Brien and Josh Peck],” she replied, along with a laughing while crying emoji.

As Pump Rules fans well know, Gary isn’t the only person Kristen cheated on Sandoval with. Years ago on the show, it was disclosed that she had also cheated on Sandoval with his then-best friend, Jax Taylor, 44, during their six-year romance, which ended in 2013.

Years later, Sandoval was involved in an even bigger cheating scandal when he began a months-long affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29, behind the back of his now-ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, 38, following a near-decade relationship.

BravoCon 2023 brought together stars and fans for a weekend filled with drama, surprises, and revelations – and Andy Cohen had plenty to share about it on his SiriusXM show.

Listen to Andy’s full BravoCon recap on the SiriusXM App & web player

During a new episode of Andy Cohen Live on the Radio Andy channel, Andy discussed his concerns about Tom Sandoval getting booed, as well as some juicy tidbits about who didn’t hook up during the weekend.

“I was really upset,” Andy revealed. “I’m jumping around. I was about my thoughts about the weekend.”

Andy’s first point of concern was Tom Sandoval, a controversial figure among Bravo fans. Andy admitted, “I was not happy that Tom Sandoval… I had text him the day before. I said, ’I’m really worried you’re gonna get booed. Do you have any kind of plan?’” Comparing Tom’s situation to Lisa Rinna’s experience from the previous year, he expressed his desire to see Tom welcomed back into the Bravo community.

“It’s been a year of him being booed,” Andy said. “So like at some point, we’re gonna have to let him back into society to assimilate with the world. You know what I mean?”

Despite Tom’s rocky history with the fans, Andy was pleased to report that he saw a change in Tom’s mood throughout the weekend.

“I saw him today, and he was in such a great mood,” Andy shared. “I think he even wound up the weekend getting a ton of fan love as it went on.”

Acknowledging Tom’s past mistakes, Andy hoped that people might eventually forgive and forget, saying, “I think people kind of saw him, and he made a terrible stupid mistake and hurt a lot of people. And, you know, at some point, I think people will maybe not hurl things at him. Time will tell.”

Moving on to lighter topics, Andy also dished about the romantic escapades of the “Southern Charm” cast during BravoCon. “My favorite thing is every morning checking in with the ‘Southern Charm’ guys to see who they were flirting with, who they were trying to sleep with,” Andy revealed with a mischievous grin.

While he didn’t want to reveal any hookup details, he did spill the beans on who didn’t hook up during the event. “I’m not gonna blow any hook up,” Andy emphasized. “I’m gonna let the people who, yeah, I will tell you who didn’t hook up.”

Andy disclosed that Brynn Whitfield had her eye on Shep, a member of the “Southern Charm” cast. However, it seems that their potential romance hit a roadblock. “I think Shep might have been a little tipsy golden retriever,” Andy quipped, implying that Shep’s inebriation may have been a factor.

“I think she was like, ’This isn’t gonna happen,’” Andy continued. He added a hilarious anecdote about Shep’s quirky advances, saying, “I think on the way over to the Bravo Awards, he started asking her about whether they should like procreate or something. So, yeah, that didn’t happen.”

BravoCon, with its blend of drama and laughter, offered fans and stars alike unforgettable moments. Andy Cohen’s recap on “Andy Cohen Live” showcased the diverse experiences and emotions that unfolded during the weekend, from the unexpected warmth towards Tom Sandoval to the intriguing dynamics among the “Southern Charm” cast. Bravo fans can only hope for more exciting events like this in the future, filled with surprising twists and memorable interactions.
