Vanderpump Rules celeb Ariana Madix is making headlines, thanks to Tom Sandoval's infidelity scandal, and it's possible that she won't participate in season 11 of the popular Bravo series. Ariana has been a staple on the show since season 2, when she was introduced as Tom Sandoval's friend. Soon after, the bartender's easygoing attitude and direct communication style won her a permanent spot on the show.
Ariana is now Tom's ex, and when she joined Vanderpump Rules, she triggered a bit of drama. Kristen Doute was dating Tom at the time, and accused Ariana of hooking up with him. While there was a clear connection, both denied any wrongdoing. Eventually, Tom and Kristen broke up, and it didn't take long before Tom moved on with Ariana.
Why Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix May Quit
Since the public learned that Tom cheated on Ariana with Raquel Leviss in their shared Valley Village home, it hasn't gone unnoticed that Ariana has taken a step back. The Vanderpump Rules star deleted her social media immediately after the news broke, and jetted off to Mexico to have her Sex and the City moment. However, she's reactivated her account. Nonetheless, it's possible that Ariana is thinking of quitting the series after nine seasons, so she can repair her broken heart.
Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix Is Savvy About Money
Ariana has found success as an individual, apart from Tom and his restaurants. During the pandemic, the "Fancy AF Cocktails" author created her own subscription box for drinking, which is called Drink From Home (DFH). The box, which costs $60, has been sold out for months, so Ariana may be making a pretty penny from that venture. Ariana is also going into the sandwich business with Katie Maloney, as they prepare to open their own shop, Something About Her. If Ariana is thinking about leaving Vanderpump Rules, it's clear that she can stand on her own two feet.
Ariana is said to be heartbroken over Tom's cheating, but it seems like the Vanderpump Rules star has a good head on her shoulders. Even though Tom and Ariana weren't married, they spent eight years together, and had some major ups and downs. California does not recognize common law marriage, but Ariana could turn to Katie for advice, when it comes to the issue of dividing their assets. While fans would love to see Ariana back on the Bravo show, right now, it's hard to say if she'll decide to return.
