Since March 2023, most of the Bravosphere has been obsessed with Scandoval, specifically how badly Ariana Madix was betrayed. Now, I am totally all about girl power and bashing a loser in aluminum, but at some point, a line was crossed. Now, I’ve started to question whether or not Ariana isn’t being just a bit petty. I want to be Team Ariana, but I am going to need the girl to pull herself together. The Vanderpump Rules star needs to move upwards and onwards without stooping to a low level. But with the current level of Ariana Madix’s pettiness, I’m just not sure it can be done.
Ariana Isn’t The Boss
Even though Ariana may like to believe she is holding all the power and the high ground, the truth is she isn’t. In fact, I think she is forgetting that she is still a co-signer on the Valley Village home she shares with Tom Sandoval. That comes with a ton of responsibilities, meaning she and Tom are entitled to the same rights. Viewers got a front-row seat to the shade being thrown by Ariana, who just recently admitted she won’t be letting Tom control the narrative.
Tom, via his assistant Ann (who needs a raise), expressed that he wanted to throw himself a 40th birthday party, which I get, 40 is huge! Ariana flatly told his assistant, “That’s not happening. I think that’s very disrespectful and inappropriate. If he wants to have a party, he can have it somewhere else.” Ariana went as far as to say, “If there are people here making noise, I will call the cops.” Yikes—way to prove your dominance. What a party pooper.
A Payout Could Be Smart
Instead of making her life easier, Ariana has chosen to share a residence with Tom. I can’t imagine the toxicity that flows through that place. The two stay in separate rooms and refuse to interact. But surely a buyout could be a solid option. Tom has expressed wanting to keep the home, but Ariana doesn’t feel it is fair for her to have to move, but surely, your mental well-being is worth a hell of a lot more than playing petty squatter.
Ariana revealed in a recent episode, “You can’t sell the house unless both people agree to sell the house, but Sandoval wants to buy me out and stay there. And I’m not going to pack up my clothes and hitchhike down the road because Tom offered me a measly sum of money. The fact of that matter is he broke the home. He doesn’t get to do that.” And evidently, neither does Ariana, making no one the winner in this scenario.
Ariana Doesn’t Look Good Ditching Responsibility
Naturally, there are going to be disagreements on who owes who money, especially in a breakup like Tom and Ariana’s. On Vanderpump Rules, Tom revealed, “My bank account was literally overdrawn. Dude, Ariana hadn’t paid any of the bills for, like, fu*king eight months, man,” claiming he was “moving $1,000 around to this account” and “moving $500 from this account” to pay for their mortgage.
During the affair, Tom was seen out about about touring with his band, never once looking financially distressed. But he shared, “I’ve been pretty much paying for everything out of all my accounts. Mortgage, gardener, cleaning, utilities, everything. It’s kind of like pulling teeth to get Ariana to pay me back.”
If the information is true, that is pretty cold and downright irresponsible of Ariana. Doesn’t she know it could totally ruin her and Tom’s credit score? But on the Vanderpump Rules After Show, Ariana did shed some light on her decision-making after they refinanced their home in 2021. “So, basically, I had asked for this itemized breakdown for so long, and he would be like, ‘Oh, you owe X amount of money,’ and I’m like, ‘How did you figure this out?'”
While I understand Ariana’s resistance to paying him any money, she needs to make sure she is not withholding payments because it will only come back and bite her in the ass. So please, Ariana, stop being petty!
