After Tom Sandoval has calmed down, Ariana Madix isn’t going to let up on the pressure she’s putting on their former relationship.
The eleventh season of Vanderpump Rules has begun shooting, and a source has told ET that Madix has been giving Sandoval a hard time ever since the cameras were set up.
“The production of ‘Vanderpump Rules’ is already underway, and Tom and Ariana have already shot together. The insider claims that she has been giving him a hard time during shooting, and that she just does not have time for any of his foolishness. “She is growing more aloof and is not being affected by him to the same extent as she once was.”
After being together since 2013, when Madix first started appearing on the program, Sandoval and Madix made the announcement that they were breaking up at the beginning of March. It didn’t take long for the word to spread that Sandoval had cheated on Madix with their mutual castmate, Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, which is what ultimately caused the relationship to come to an end.
According to the insider, Madix is feeling “empowered and confident” despite the devastating split, and she is in a good position “personally and professionally.”
“Ariana is experiencing an overwhelming sense of self-empowerment and confidence. The source also notes that she is at a point in her life where she is content to be concentrating on herself and doing what makes her happy. “She is still making the most of all the support she has received and is feeling good about where she is at in her life, both personally and professionally,” the sentence reads.
As for Leviss, who in the aftermath of the incident has begun using her real name, Rachel, she has not yet committed to appearing on the program, despite the fact that she is now going by that name. ET was previously informed by a source that Leviss’ “team and Bravo are still trying to hammer out a deal” in order for her to shoot.
Since April, Leviss has not been seen, and she was conspicuously missing earlier this month when the cast of Vanderpump Rules was filming at Lisa Vanderpump’s Sur Lounge. Sandoval, Madix, Tom Schwartz, Scheana Shay, and numerous other cast members were there.
