VPR's Ariana Madix Talks About Breaking Up With Costars in Saying Goodbye Post

Ariana Madix sets the record straight – sort of – after Vanderpump Rules fans thought she was cutting some costars out of the photos in her farewell post.

Madix, 39, took to social media on Tuesday, November 26, to reflect on her journey with the hit Bravo series after the network confirmed the show will return for a 12th season — but with an entirely new cast.

“Vanderpump rules, you'll always be that girl 💖 I was up until 4am looking for all the right pictures and the right words, but no post or caption could cover it all. I'm so grateful to be a part of such an amazing culture,” Madix wrote along with a variety of photos from his 11 seasons on the show. “I feel at peace with closing this chapter and excited for all that lies ahead.”

Several fans, however, couldn't help but notice that certain costars were missing from Madix's post. While Tom Sandoval2023's absence made sense after their split over his 2023 cheating scandal Rachel Leviss, fans pointed that out Sleep Kent it was also nowhere to be found.

“I'm just here to get all the cuts,” read another comment while another person added, “And thank everyone except the cast 😳.” Madix was quick to point out that his thanks came in the form of pictures, writing, “That's what pookie pictures are for.

At the time, one fan said they were “living for this carefully curated photo selection 👏🏼🙌🏼.” Madix noted that some of the omissions did not appear to be intentional, adding, “I wish I could do more slides. I had many other things. maybe another post!”

Madix's latest season Vanderpump Rules it had no obstacles. Filming began months after Madix found out about Sandoval's affair with Leviss, 29, and the result was season 11. While Madix initially gained the support of most of her customers, some loyalties wavered as the cast continued to film the show.

Kent, 34, has called Madix out multiple times for not filming with Sandoval — yet they still live in the same house. (Madix has moved out of the house he shared with Sandoval and bought his own house.)

“I'm going to be real about Ariana. He wanders all over the f—-king's age. And we're asking you to have one conversation with Tom Sandoval — the guy you shoved down your throat for so many years,” Kent said on an episode of the Vanderpump Rules After Show in May. “That guy you're still living with. We're asking you to have one conversation and you're not going to do that?”

According to Kent, all of the Vanderpump Rules cast members had “difficult conversations” — except for Madix. Many Bravo viewers, however, disagreed with Kent and called him out on social media for refusing to address his statements after the reunion special.

Kent issued a statement apologizing to fans after calling out viewers for their anger on his “Give Me Sleep” podcast before clarifying that he has no regrets about what happened on screen.

“It was difficult this season. I was talking about things we've all talked about. And then when the camera comes on, everyone runs in panic. I'm with Ariana, who I believe has really forgotten why she got the opportunity,” Kent said on a June episode of the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast about Madix's various dealings since the scandal. “Also, [I’m] I am very happy for you, but let's not forget where we come from. None of us have anything but Vanderpump Rules. What we have built without it, we should be proud of.”
