The cast was caught filming the Vanderpump Rules season 11 finale, and a source reveals things became heated enough for Ariana Madix to storm off the set. Ariana is happily in a new relationship with fitness Instagram influencer Daniel Wai but made it clear she wasn’t ready or willing to film with ex-Tom Sandoval. In case a refresher is needed – Ariana and Sandoval were together for nearly ten years before the news broke he was having almost a year-long affair with their co-star, Raquel Leviss. Ariana’s new boyfriend, who wasn’t previously associated with SUR or Vanderpump Rules their meeting, was revealed recently to be in attendance for VPR’s annual cast trip.

A source for Reality Ashley, who witnessed Vanderpump Rules‘ season 11 finale filming, claims Ariana “ran off” set “super upset.” Apparently, the VPR star’s dramatic exit followed what the source thought was “producers [trying] to make her have a conversation with Sandoval and Scheana.”

The witness sent photos to Reality Ashley, proving their presence, and also Sandoval’s. They also revealed Sandoval and Scheana engaged in a rather lengthy argument lasting roughly an hour. The source reported this situation “blindsided” Ariana, and the end result was her leaving the function altogether.

Ariana Said She Wouldn’t Film With Sandoval For VPR Season 11

Ariana insisted she would not be filming with her ex, even if their lives still have some crossover. She maintained this condition of hers regardless of the numerous occasions the former couple was pictured together during Vanderpump Rules‘ season 11 filming. Most recently, Ariana, Sandoval, and her new boyfriend were all confirmed to be together for the cast trip to San Francisco. Maybe Ariana meant she was refusing to speak with Sandoval on camera, and not necessarily that she wouldn’t be caught filming group scenes with him. That would explain her reaction to the supposed attempted conversation the source claimed occurred for the finale.

Per the source and Reality Ashley, Ariana will be running from the group’s festivities during the final episode of Vanderpump Rules season 11. It’s not necessarily surprising under the circumstances and makes for a dramatic ending viewers regularly hope for. Ariana and VPR fans respect her decisions and like to see her stand up for herself. Scandoval continues to unravel and affect both the cast and the show, and it’s essential Ariana puts her foot down where she’s uncomfortable.

Ariana Madix wasn’t expected to be anywhere near Tom Sandoval for Vanderpump Rules season 11, so the tea checks out accordingly. The source noted this followed a long, heated conversation between Scheana and Sandoval, which makes it even more understandable. VPR fans can’t wait to see how Scandoval presents itself through another season, and sources keep them on their toes until it’s available to stream.
