Ariana Madix Storms Off During 'Intense' On-Camera Confrontation With Tom Sandoval

It’s been confirmed that Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval have started filming a one-on-one conversation for Vanderpump Rules, and it’s not going well.

The Fancy Cocktails author is allegedly having a visceral reaction to the planned sitdown discussion that took place with Sandoval. Sources are sharing with Page Six that Ariana feels “gaslit” but Sandoval because he held onto the relationship knowing that he was one foot out.

Seeing as Sandoval didn’t reveal his infidelity sooner “Ariana walked away from the conversation feeling like she was gaslit by Tom.” The conversation took place at their L.A. home in Valley Village where Sandoval supposedly “gave her several excuses as to why he never copped to cheating.”

Tom even used Ariana’s mental health and threw it back in her face. “Tom said he didn’t tell her about the affair with Raquel because he was worried about how it would impact her mental health.”

This supposedly made Ariana leave the conversation feeling defeated and a little disgusted at how Sandoval was attempting to downplay the situation.

The year has really only begun and already Ariana was struggling with some personal issues that Sandoval also deemed fit to bill as an excuse to not just break up with her instead of cheating, “claiming that he was especially concerned after her grandmother died last year.”

Ariana’s grandmother passed in September 2022 and this led the reality star to go back home to Florida to spend some time with her family and friends and attend the funeral. Fans are now speculating that when Ariana went away, Tom played.

Thanks to James Kennedy directly revealing to Deuxmoi that Raquel would stay over at Ariana’s and sleep on the couch sometimes even When Ariana wasn’t there. People now believe that the funeral week was one of those times.

James also revealed to Deuxmoi that Raquel was bold enough to engage in a romp or two with Sandoval while Ariana was upstairs asleep in their house. This is the same house that Tom and Ariana purchased in 2019 a very short time ago.

Like Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney, we can imagine that this Valley Village farm home will go the way of the latter couple and be sold before its prime. Currently, the former couple is still in the house together and Sandoval is allegedly now using this as an excuse why he withheld the truth.

This is the third excuse the bar owner has used as a reason why he couldn’t be honest with the woman he dated and was in a common-law relationship with for nine years. “The fact that they own a home together was also brought up, and how he thought that would make their breakup even more complicated.”

According to Page Six, Ariana updated the women of Vanderpump Rules on her conversation with Sandoval.

“[Madix] has recapped what happened with her friends and castmates, the majority of whom are disappointed Tom seems unable to take accountability for his actions or express substantial remorse.”

As we’ve seen in the past few days many of the women on the cast have come for Sandoval’s neck and dragged Raquel behind him so there is no question that no matter the outcome of the situation, it was going to be in support of Ariana.
