If anyone came out as a winner from Scandoval, it was Ariana Madix. The Vanderpump Rules star was betrayed by her boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, and her friend, Rachel Leviss. But Ariana left them in the dust. She has a new man, Daniel Wai, and a new gig hosting Love Island USA. Not to mention coming in third last season on Dancing with the Stars, and then moving on to Broadway. She played Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway for two runs. Now Lisa Vanderpump is sharing her thoughts on Ariana’s amazing success.
Lisa Vanderpump thinks that Ariana Madix had “the greatest revenge”
Bravo’s national treasure, Andy Cohen, recently told Ariana how proud he was of her. “I am so proud of you,” Andy stated. “[I’m] watching you kill it all over the place.”
Now Lisa is weighing in on Ariana’s success. “This was the greatest revenge. This is what I love for her, because often people flounder, and, for a moment there, I thought she was going to flounder,” Lisa told US Weekly. She was worried that Ariana would “become the victim” after Sandoval betrayed her. “But, then she came back and she didn’t get mad. She just got even, and I love that,” the Pump Rules star. “I really love that.”
While Lisa is thrilled for Ariana and all her success, she also hopes that the former bartender can leave Scandoval in the rearview. “I hope she can find a place in her life where she can, you know, let the anger go,” Lisa explained, “and then I think you can really feel like you’ve moved on. But I think she’s done really well, and I cheered her on every step of the way. I’m proud of what she’s done, for sure,” Lisa added. However, Lisa previously made a shady comment or two about Ariana’s boundaries of not interacting with Sandoval and living in the same home with him.
As for Ariana, she was grateful for Lisa’s support. But once she watched Season 11 of VPR, she was a bit puzzled. “When you watch the show, you see things that you’re like, ‘What the heck?’ You know, so,” Ariana previously stated. Alrighty then.
Vanderpump Rules is streaming on Peacock.
