On Reddit, one user said, "That caption reads as sooo pointed towards Ariana. “She’s all the things I complained Ariana wasn’t”. Woof"

Another user wrote, "Also “she wants nothing but my love”. Tim, mate, we watched Ariana beg you for your love for like - five seasons. Meanwhile you were constantly demanding things from her (sex, babies, a big on screen proposal, sky diving at sunrise, get drunk and party with me, etc). Also an interesting dig to use given that (according to Ariana) Sandoval was stealing from Ariana."

Another user noted, "The “why not” person with the spontaneous adventures is very much a dig at Ariana….yeah, it’s super easy being spontaneous when you don’t have any other obligations or responsibilities. That’s not spontaneous…that’s just filling your time."

A user chimed in, "Because the caption is insanely cringe? Lol also a lot of the caption reads like thinly veiled insults to Ariana. I wonder if people picked up on that."

Why did 'Vanderpump Rules' stars Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix split?

In March 2023, Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix ended their relationship after Ariana discovered Tom's infidelity. The startling revelation occurred when Ariana found messages between Tom and Raquel Leviss during one of Tom's band concerts. The affair had begun shortly after the death of Ariana's dog, Charlotte, and she had cut short a girls' trip to grieve.

This betrayal marked the end of their once-strong relationship, leaving Ariana heartbroken and reevaluating everything she thought she knew about Tom. The breakdown of their relationship unfolded gradually throughout the night, ultimately leading to their breakup. Production on the show resumed on March 2, as reported by Variety, and the news of their split became widespread the next day, marking the end of their nine-year romance.
