‘Vanderpump Rules’ star Ariana Madix asks Tom Sandoval and Lala Kent to 'stay away' from her
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the intense Season 11 finale of 'Vanderpump Rules', Ariana Madix confronted Tom Sandoval and Lala Kent over their behavior during her tumultuous breakup with Sandoval.
During the reunion, Ariana addressed Sandoval directly, expressing her deep hurt and frustration. She tells him, “I just want you away from me!” Ariana made it clear that she no longer trusted him, especially after discovering his affair with Rachel 'Raquel' Leviss. She felt that Sandoval’s attempts to engage with her were insincere and motivated more by the show than genuine remorse.
Ariana also confronted Lala Kent, who had made several critical comments about her. Lala had expressed frustration that Ariana did not receive the same scrutiny she did during her breakup with Randall Emmett. Lala felt that Ariana was given a pass and was not held accountable for her actions or decisions in the same way Lala was.
Ariana defended herself by explaining that she needed to handle her breakup in her own way, which included distancing herself from the drama and focusing on her well-being. She acknowledged that everyone deals with pain differently and that her way of coping may not have met Lala’s expectations, but it was what she needed to do.
‘Vanderpump Rules’ star Tom Sandoval gets teary eyed apologizing to Ariana Madix

This heartfelt moment comes after a tumultuous period for the former couple, who broke up in March 2023 following the revelation of Sandoval's affair with Rachel "Raquel" Leviss.
During the reunion, Sandoval and Ariana finally have a difficult conversation about his infidelity. Sandoval pleads with Ariana to understand his perspective, but she responds that she no longer feels she knows him. Despite her pain, Ariana listens as Sandoval expresses his deep regret.
With tears in his eyes, Sandoval apologizes sincerely, saying, "I just want to say to you that I am sorry. I am not asking you to forgive me. I know you won’t. I know you don’t want to be around me. Whatever our relationship was — the good and the bad — you didn’t deserve that. And I am sorry from the bottom of my heart. I regret it every single day. It is a badge of shame. I did the thing I said I would never do to you."
Ariana responds with a mixture of hurt and resolve, making it clear that she wants to move on from Sandoval and the betrayal. She states, "You also brought a s—t person into both of our lives in a very f—ked up way. And this bitch has to talk about me all the f—king time. You did that. I just want to be away from you."
