Lala Kent, who is reportedly a good friend of Madix, was one of the first VR cast members to react to the scandal. Through her Instagram Stories on Friday, she wrote, “Oh Sandoval … Your problem with me is I’m a little too real for your comfort.” She further quipped, “I’ve seen you for who you are for a long time, and you don’t like that. But, I think now is the time for you to shut the f—k up. I’m eatin good the next time I see you.”
Kristen Doute, a VR alum and Sandoval's ex-lover whom he dated from 2007 to 2013, also came out in support of Madix. In an Instagram video shared by the 'He's Making You Crazy' author was found to be comforting a visibly heartbroken Madix. She was heard saying, “I stan Ariana. This is in real-time. I love you so much,” before adding, "I love you more than anything. You’re my girl”. She also added in the caption, “Ariana. PERIOD. #TeamAriana #TeamSandwichShop".
Leviss’s ex-fiance, James Kennedy, with whom she broke up in December 2021, was one of the very first cast members to react to the scandal. Taking his Instagram account to share the original TMZ article that broke the news of the scandal, he wrote, “Hope you all feel as sick as I do. This explains everything.”
What did Ariana’s brother say?
In Kennedy’s Instagram post, Jeremy Madix, Ariana Madix’s brother also posted his displeasure on the matter. He said, “It’s funny to watch people social climb and be soooooooo fake that they’re willing to s—t on people that are supposed to be their ‘best friend’ (a term that gets thrown around very often around here) all just to come up or have some sort of story line.” He further added, “This lifestyle and this group is beyond toxic and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. … Toms a try hard having a midlife crisis with his cringy band and Raquel has faked her way to the top trying to make something of her life willing to step on whoever to get there starting with James. Sell out type lame s—t. Let’s all remember that Raquel was a fan of the show before all of this. Does anyone pay attention?”
