Ariana Madix "See Things" In a New Way with Lisa Vanderpump Amid Season 11 Drama
The Vanderpump Rules cast member spilled the beans about her relationship with her former boss.
Ariana Madix has come a long way since her Vanderpump Rules debut season back in Season 2.
She went from being a bartender at SUR to now being a Broadway performer, all over the course of the 9 seasons that she's been sharing her life on the show. Needless to say, the Vanderpump Rules cast member has a lot of thanks to give Lisa Vanderpump.
Although Ariana has left bartending and is in the process of opening her own sandwich shop, Something About Her, while also living out her Broadway dreams, she still has ties to Lisa, who, throughout Season 11, has been trying to bring the cast members together and settle their differences in the wake of Ariana's 2023 breakup with her ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval.
But, Ariana has some thoughts about all of that and she's spilling all, including where she stands with Lisa. Ariana spilled the tea during her March 12 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

Ariana opened up to WWHL host, Andy Cohen, about what her relationship with Lisa is like now amid the Season 11 drama. "It's been good," she said. "She came to see me at the Dancing with the Stars finale, which was super cool, and every time I see her, it's great."
But, Ariana noted that she hasn't been too happy with how Lisa has been handling things on this season of VPR. "When you watch the show, you see things that you're like, 'What the heck?' You know, so," she said.
Ariana Madix on Lisa Vanderpump's conversation with Lala Kent and Scheana Shay in Season 11
Ariana has had a lot to say while watching the show back this season. During the Vanderpump Rules Season 11 After Show, she talked about Lisa's conversation that she had with Lala Kent and Scheana Shay in episode 4. During this conversation at Lisa's home, Villa Rosa, Lisa told the two friends that she had spent time with Sandoval and asked them to stop attacking him and move on due to his current mental state.
"It's a heavy burden to put on people, and I think that I don't take that stuff lightly," Ariana said during the VPR After Show.
"That is something that if someone has concerns, they should seek professional help for someone," she added. "Like that is the route that should be taken. Like if he's not going to seek professional help for himself, then if Lisa is concerned, instead of putting it on Scheana and Lala, she should find professional help for him, because ultimately I think Scheana and Lala are not equipped and should not be carrying that."
