She further said to the interviewer, "And you mentioned something about the addiction of doing reality TV and the way that they always dangle that carrot in front of you, like, 'Well, you need to tell your side of the story otherwise it’s gonna be written for you.' And that’s terrifying. So I almost went back, I know just because of that."
Are Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix still together?
