Ariana Madix wished to 'literally slit' Tom Sandoval's throat in 'Vanderpump Rules'

In the Tuesday, March 26 episode of 'Vanderpump Rules,' Tom crossed a line by putting Ariana's dog, Maya, in danger. Ariana acknowledged the matter when Lala Kent had a "productive conversation" with Tom at their shared house.

Irritated, Ariana stated that she had been absent during the conversation as she had rushed to the emergency vet. She emphasized the urgency of the medical appointment, revealing that Tom had allowed Maya into her bedroom, where the dog ate skewers from a takeout container.

"Add it to the laundry list, at this point, of reasons why my ex cannot be trusted to have decent judgment when it comes to anything," Ariana was quoted as saying.

When Lala suggested Ariana talk things over with Tom, the latter woman promptly disregarded the notion. "There's no way I could have any type of conversation that is not me literally slitting his throat right now, like, physically, and being arrested," she said.
