Ariana Madix Commercials, Chicago, and Other Gigs: Career Update
Following her split from Sandoval, Ariana began to book gigs across mediums, including commercials (ranging from batteries to burgers to fashion campaigns and everything in between), appeared on Dancing with the Stars, starred in a TV movie, released a book and went on a subsequent tour, as well as is currently appearing in Chicago on Broadway.
She even worked with Shahs of Sunset's Nema Vand for one of the commercials she filmed back in 2023. “It’s a really cool thing when directing crosses over into the Bravo world,” Nema told Scheana Shay on her Scheananigans podcast last year (before his friendship with her became a point of drama on Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules). “And I’m out of the Bravo world now, but we had a client… [they] had a campaign with Ariana and when they found out I knew Ariana, we were part of the same group of friends, it was just, like, ‘Oh yeah, we want her to feel comfortable. We should do that.’ And it was a real worlds crossing… Ariana was amazing, by the way.”
Of course, Ariana is currently starring as Roxie Hart in Chicago through April 7.
