'Vanderpump Rules' fans rally behind Ariana Madix and slam producers for 'trying to make her the villain'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Fans of the popular reality show 'Vanderpump Rules' have rallied behind Ariana Madix following the show's latest episode.
Ariana Madix, who parted ways with co-star Tom Sandoval in March 2023 following his involvement with fellow cast member Raquel Leviss, has received support from viewers.
Ariana and Tom are the co-owners of an impressive $2 million home in Los Angeles, which they acquired in 2019. Despite their split, they've maintained an amicable yet somewhat distant living arrangement.
Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Ariana has consistently demonstrated respect towards Tom. She has openly discussed the ongoing efforts to navigate the "ownership situation" surrounding their shared property.
Fans of 'Vanderpump Rules' are expressing their frustration with the producers and Tom Sandoval for attempting to portray Ariana in a negative light. One user said, "Because we’re gonna stand behind our girl Ariana, producers can’t and won’t make us hate her," while another echoed the sentiment, stating, "They will never make me like Sandoval."
A third user criticized the show's current season, stating, "This whole season is trying to make her the villain." Another added, "Some people on Facebook are falling for it too… but they’re dumb af if they can’t see who the real villain is after VPR first started he hasn’t changed."
Several users directly called out Tom Sandoval, labeling him a "narcissist" and stating that he "acts like an imbecile 99% of the time." One user found Tom's behavior unsettling, commenting, "What’s so weird is his constant staring at her.. it’s gross."
'Vanderpump Rules' star Ariana Madix wants to 'slit' Tom Sandoval's throat for being 'irresponsible' around her dog
In a recent episode of 'Vanderpump Rules', aired on Tuesday, March 26, Ariana Madix disclosed to Lala Kent that she had to urgently seek help for her dog, Mya, after she was left alone with Sandoval.
“The reason I wasn’t at my house is because I was at the emergency vet because he was so insanely irresponsible with my dog,” she asserted. “She had to have an endoscopy.” The ordeal began when Sandoval left Mya in Ariana’s room while she was away.
“He went into my room and I had a takeout counter on my nightstand,” Ariana recounted. “He not only let Mya in there but then shut her in there for hours. So she ate [everything]. I was home for all of 30 seconds before I rushed her to the vet. The bill is $6,000.”
“Add it to the laundry list of reasons why my ex cannot be trusted to have decent judgment about anything,” Ariana, who ended her relationship with Sandoval in March 2023 due to his affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, emphasized. “There’s no way I can have a conversation with him right now that isn’t me literally slitting his throat right now. Like physically and being arrested.”
She concluded: “This is not the first time he has given zero s—ts about the wellbeing of what I consider to be my children.”
Tom Sandoval talks about 'buying Ariana out' of their house which they own together
During a recent interview aired on Tuesday, March 26, Tom Sandoval revealed his intention to buy out Ariana from their jointly owned house.
"About two months ago, I instructed my lawyers to prepare a letter of intent offering Ariana top market value for her share," Tom explained. "I made it abundantly clear to her that she would receive a check for the full amount and could walk away without any encumbrances. However, I haven't received any response from her."
Later in the episode, Tom Sandoval broached the subject with Ariana during a shared event. "Ariana, I don't mean to intrude, but I want to ensure you received the email I sent about a month ago," he said. Ariana replied, "My lawyer has it."
Acknowledging the need to move forward, Tom urged, "I understand we both want to expedite matters. Could you ask your lawyer to respond so we can initiate proceedings?"
'Vanderpump Rules' star Ariana Madix calls Tom Sandoval's offer as 'bullshit'
Ariana Madix responded to Tom Sandoval's letter of intent to buy their house with a clear stance.
"I don't communicate with Tom Sandoval. Him emailing me personally is not an appropriate means of settling the house dispute," she stated in the clip. "My lawyer is who will be communicating with Tom Sandoval. So regardless of how a response happens, it will never be coming from my personal email," she added.
Expressing skepticism about the offer, Ariana questioned whether Tom had considered the validity of his proposal before expecting a response.
"Did he even think for one second that maybe his offer was bullsh-t and there wasn't gonna be a response until there was a counter offer that was legitimate?" she pondered. "He sent a letter of intent. It was not a formal offer letter."
Ariana further expressed her concerns about the informal tone of Tom's communication, describing it as "very oddly written" and lacking in formality. She pointed out the absence of a property appraisal and speculated that Tom might be arbitrarily assigning values to the house.
Regarding Tom's email, Ariana revealed, "There's like a mention of how he'll generously and graciously allow me to stay in the house until I find a new place to live. But then, of course, also there's no mention of anything about the furniture, the other things that are in the home."
