The dynamic within the Vanderpump Rules cast has been shaken by Ariana Madix’s recent surge in success following the scandal involving Tom Sandoval. Amidst the chaos and accusations, it appears that some cast members are feeling envious of her newfound opportunities.
Tension Among Friendships
During a heated segment of the season 11 reunion, cast member Brock Davies defended his wife Scheana Shay’s friendships within the group. He noted the challenges Scheana faced and added, I think Scheana has really fought with a lot of the women in here from the beginning.
Ariana’s response to accusations was clear as she noted, The entire cast gets torn apart online — not just Scheana. Lesson learned is stay out of the comments section.
Strained Allegiances
Brock continued, claiming that Sandoval was more supportive towards Scheana than Ariana, which didn’t sit well with Madix. This remark highlights how alliances and support systems within the group have shifted dramatically.
Airing Grievances
The envy from other cast members became explicit when Scheana pointed out the disparity in public favoritism. I think I’m an easy target…people don’t give a sh*t or like me as much as they like Ariana,
she admitted during an after-show episode.
This sentiment was echoed by Lala Kent, who noted Scheana tends to overexplain herself compared to Ariana. Lala also confronted Scheana about feeling overshadowed despite having pure intentions.
A Shift in Dynamics
Moreover, Madix found herself addressing various criticisms throughout season 11. At one point, she confronted Tom Sandoval directly about claims he made regarding their friendships and community expectations.
Public Perception and Success
Despite these challenges, Ariana’s public image remains strong. She recently took up a hosting role on Love Island and showcased her acting skills with an 8-week limited engagement in the musical Chicago.
