The Vanderpump Rules alum made it clear she's moved on from the shocking 2023 breakup and the ensuing drama.
Ariana Madix isn’t looking back — at least not when it comes to her relationship with Tom Sandoval.
The Vanderpump Rules alum addressed the topic in a recent interview with People magazine, insisting she no longer thinks about her highly publicized breakup, which received the portmanteau treatment. When asked if she thinks about the drama today, she noted, “I don’t.”
She went to add, “I hate that name too” about the buzzy term used to describe her and Tom’s split. “That word has never come out of my mouth. Even when someone said it to me in regards to something I was wearing, I never said it back.”
The latter comment was a reference to Ariana’s “revenge dress,” gorgeous Mônot design she wore to the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion. She spoke about the look during her May 2023 appearance on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna, just several months after she and Tom called it quits.
“My revenge dress that I wore on the reunion … I had options that I was working with my friend Emily Men, who is an incredible stylist," she said. "And then when all of this happened (her breakup), it was like, ‘Nope, scrap all of those. We’re going back to the drawing board. We need something absolutely incredible.’ And she found that dress, and she’s great at what she does.”
