Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix feels “amazing” as she attends Coachella following her split from Tom Sandoval. Ariana was overwhelmingly supported by her co-stars, and the Bravo show’s fans, after discovering that Sandoval and her close friend Raquel Leviss carried on a seven-month affair. After initially deleting her social media and lying low, the 37-year-old has been living her best single life while Sandoval and Raquel face the fallout.
While attending The Oasis: Celsius Vibe House party at Coachella festival’s opening weekend, Ariana appeared in a TikTok made by People TikTok correspondent, Farai Bennett.
When asked how she was feeling a month after the Scandoval, Ariana happily declared, “Amazing!” She laughed and confirmed she’s thriving as the TikToker said, “don’t wish her well, she’s doing amazing.” In the comments, one person joked that Farai did a better job in the thirteen-second clip than Howie Mandel’s controversial Sandoval interview. The TikTok creator gushed that the actress was “gorgeous, humble, fun and unbothered!”

Ariana also posted photos and videos from Coachella to her Instagram stories. She hung out with BFF Scheana Shay, shared a kiss with former VPR star Dayna Kathan, and even got a new tattoo. Ariana’s “amazing” time at Coachella is her latest win after her former partner of nine years’ shocking betrayal. She landed a role in a Lifetime movie and will reportedly compete next season on Dancing With The Stars. After slaying in a revenge dress at the VPR reunion, she also filmed a revenge dress campaign with Bloomingdale’s. Ariana and Katie Maloney’s upcoming sandwich shop is poised for success. Merchandise to support both the shop and “Team Ariana” has sold like hotcakes.
As Ariana lives her best life, Sandoval and Raquel have struggled to regain public support. The Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner sharing his “side of the story” on Howie Mandel’s podcast only made him look worse. He shamed Ariana for how she deals with depression, and made some serious accusations about her mental health and behavior. He also contradicted himself many times. Longtime viewers, and his ex Kristen Doute, pointed out that the 40-year-old’s comments about Raquel were identical to what he said about Ariana a decade ago. Meanwhile, Raquel is seeking treatment for her mental health.
Raquel and Sandoval were reportedly eviscerated at the Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion. The episodes currently airing don’t do them any favors. Their affair appeared to start mere days after Ariana lost her beloved dog Charlotte. While telling his then-partner about Raquel’s kiss with Tom Schwartz, Sandoval annoyed her by repeating the 28-year-old’s name. Viewers also believed he grabbed the beauty queen’s ass when Ariana wasn’t looking. And if that’s not enough, Andy Cohen and Lala Kent both teased a “chilling” conversation between Ariana and Raquel in the season finale.
Vanderpump Rules season 10 airs Wednesday nights at 9pm EST on Bravo.
