Paige DeSorbo Reveals Which Vanderpump Rules Cast Members She’s Been Dishing on the Drama With
Plus, see how her Summer House castmates, like Kyle Cooke and Lindsay Hubbard, feel about everything going down.
Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix’s break-up hasn’t just rocked the Vanderpump Rules world. Instead, the drama surrounding the split has spread throughout the entire Bravo universe.
This, of course, includes Bravolebs on the East Coast, such as Summer House’s Paige DeSorbo. Asked which Vanderpump Rules cast members she’s been getting her intel from during Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on April 10, she said, “I’ve talked to Scheana [Shay] a lot.”
She’s also been in touch with Katie Maloney, but first and foremost, “I obviously texted Ariana to make sure she’s OK,” Paige added.
Elsewhere in the Summer House cast, Amanda Batula is rooting for Ariana too. “My heart goes out to [her],” Amanda said during her own WWHL appearance back in March. “I mean, she’s surrounded by her friends, fortunately, but I just… It’s a crappy situation. It makes me sick.”
Kyle Cooke echoed his wife’s sentiment, adding during the same WWHL episode, “Ariana’s the sweetest. My heart goes out to her. I cannot imagine what it’s like to be going through this… It sucks.”
Fellow Summer House couple Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard also weighed in on the drama during WWHL in late March. And even though it had been nearly a month since the news broke that Tom and Ariana were going their separate ways, the soon-to-be-married pair was still in shock. After all, as Carl pointed out, it wasn’t long ago that he and Lindsay were hanging out with the former couple at BravoCon 2022.
Reflecting on whether or not there were any signs that something was amiss, Lindsay said she didn’t have any suspicions at the time. But now? Yes — especially considering Tom’s Halloween costume, which Lindsay said she and pal Katie Maloney had actually discussed at the time.
“I was like, ‘Why did he do that?’” Lindsay recalled. “And she was like, ‘I don’t know, actually.’ Now that you start putting the pieces together, you’re just like, it was in front of our eyes this entire time.”
When it comes to Tom and Ariana themselves, they’ve each spoken about the breakup. He addressed his role by issuing two separate statements — the first of which included an apology to those feeling “anger” or “disappointment” toward him, as well as Tom Schwartz and their business partners; the second was an apology to Ariana.
Ariana later spoke out in an Instagram post, thanking her friends, family, and fans “for the outpouring of love and support” she’s received.
