Ariana Madix Confronts Tom Sandoval's Alleged Reckless Behavior Towards Her Dog
Ariana Madix reveals shocking details of Tom Sandoval's alleged attempt to harm her beloved dog, exposing his reckless and callous behavior Learn more about this disturbing incident exclusively from Ariana herself
Ariana Madix is no longer shocked by Tom Sandoval's actions.
When asked about the Vanderpump Rules scene where she claims Sandoval attempted to harm her dog, Ariana, 38, calmly stated that her ex-boyfriend is persisting in his "reckless and careless behavior."
The shocking season 11 trailer was revealed during a thrilling BravoCon panel for Pump Rules on Friday, November 3. In one scene, Ariana confronts Sandoval directly, expressing her frustration: "You've ruined my life, my home, and even tried to harm my beloved dog. My lawyer will handle this." On the BravoCon red carpet the following day, Katie Maloney and Ariana briefly discussed the incident without going into detail. Ariana described Sandoval's actions as "reckless" and "careless," nothing out of the ordinary but still highly emotional.
Katie, 36, chimed in, "There seemed to be some confusion among people who thought it had something to do with Charlotte."
Ariana's dear Charlotte York passed away in 2022. In 2020, Sandoval and Ariana adopted Mya Moon, but earlier this year, the Reality Star of the Year from the show We made it clear that the pitbull mix is her dog, not Sandoval's, after Billie Lee was seen walking the pup.
"Billie's assistance while I am away for work out of state is greatly appreciated, but Mya is my dog and that article should rectify its mistake," Madix expressed on Instagram in May. She was referring to the headline that falsely stated that Lee was taking care of Sandoval's dog.
Sandoval and Ariana had been in a relationship for nine years before their split in March. Their breakup occurred after Ariana discovered Sandoval's affair with their former co-star from Pump Rules, Rachel "Raquel" Leviss.
Leviss has chosen not to make a comeback on the Bravo reality show, but Sandoval and Ariana are continuing to be featured together and continue living in the house they purchased jointly. However, Sandoval revealed to Us on Friday that he contemplated leaving the Bravo reality show before season 11, but ultimately made the decision to push himself and embrace this challenge.
"As time went on, I realized that when life becomes particularly difficult, it's important to test and push yourself," Sandoval clarified. "Take on the tough tasks, you know what I mean?"
Following numerous challenging discussions with his friends, Sandoval found himself facing enraged BravoCon attendees. The Las Vegas event saw him being jeered at multiple times, with certain fans even urging him to "go home."
Reflecting on the experience, Sandoval exclusively revealed to Us that the outcome unfolded as he had anticipated. Playfully, he remarked that receiving boos from a packed crowd of individuals actually brought him a sense of satisfaction.
Vanderpump Rules returns in January 2024.
