Ariana Madix Exits Vanderpump Rules Amid Cast Reboot

Ariana Madix, a longstanding cast member of Bravo's 'Vanderpump Rules', has revealed that she had no intention of returning to the show even before the network's decision to reboot the cast for the upcoming season. This decision followed personal turmoil on the show, including a publicized affair between her former boyfriend Tom Sandoval and fellow cast member Raquel Leviss. Madix, who has since pursued other opportunities such as hosting 'Love Island USA' and performing on Broadway, expressed that reality TV was not a suitable environment for her due to its impact on her mental health and a lack of authenticity. Despite the show's explosive season 11 reunion, Madix insists her choice was based on personal reflection rather than professional dissatisfaction. The reboot will see a completely new cast take over, leaving only Lisa Vanderpump from the original lineup.
