There is nothing Ariana Madix does better than revenge (dresses).
On May 17, Madix joined Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live following the highly anticipated season finale of Vanderpump Rules, aptly titled “#Scandoval.” In the two and a half months since Madix discovered her boyfriend of nine years, Tom Sandoval, was having an affair with one of her best friends, Raquel Leviss, it feels like the entire Bravo universe has been frothing at the mouth for all the dirty details. Now that the finale has finally aired, Madix dressed to put their ship to rest.
A Complete Timeline of the
It all started when Ariana was still mourning her dog!
For the live taping Madix wore an asymmetrical black lace Alessandra Rich dress attached to a strapless black bodysuit, which the reality star described as a “slutty funeral” look. This comes after she already served major fuck-you energy in a red cutout dress for the taping of the three-part Vanderpump Rules reunion special, which will begin airing next Wednesday, May 24. Frankly, she makes being a woman scorned look hot as hell.
And Ariana Madix took one last opportunity to address Tom Sandoval directly. During the finale Sandoval attempted to gaslight viewers and VPR cast members into believing that Madix was partially to blame for his cheating, even going so far as saying she would have discovered his affair if she had simply…stalked him?
“Ariana never asked,” Sandoval said during a conversation with his friend and business partner Tom Schwartz. “Maybe like, ‘I’m going to Schwartz’s….’ All she would’ve had to do is follow me and see that, you know, I’m not.”
While that’s an objectively wild thing to say, Madix believed it warranted a response. “I had the password to his iPad,” she told Andy Cohen before looking into the camera to speak to Sandoval. “So I did look at your location and you were at Schwartz’s,” she said, implying he was carrying on her affair at his friend’s home.

At another point in the interview, Madix said she believed Schwartz not only helped cover up Sandoval’s affair but “was actively participating in my downfall.”
RIP to both Toms’ reputations. Ariana dressed to kill at the funeral.
