Ariana Madix Claps Back at Accusations of CASHING IN on “Scandoval” While Raquel Leviss Struggles 

Ariana Madix fired back after she was accused of cashing in on “Scandoval” with the release of her new book, “Single AF Cocktails.” The Vanderpump Rules star responded to fans, who asked some pointed questions after she revealed her new project.  

The 38-year-old announced the upcoming book on Instagram, writing — “These last few months have been a whirlwind and though I’m in a better place now, having my personal devastation unfold so publicly was painful. Through all the rumors and crazy headlines, everyone had their own hot take on what happened and I’ll forever be grateful for those who continue to support me through all of it. But now is the time that I’m fully telling my side of the story.”

Ariana continued — “Bartending will always be my thing and my new book, SINGLE AF COCKTAILS, is my breakup album, the story of our relationship and the betrayal that ended it all, told through drinks. The book is on sale December 5th and it would mean so much to me if you preordered it.”

The reality star added that she will dish on the “honeymoon phase” she shared with ex, Tom Sandoval, adding that she also will address “the early issues in our relationship, to when everything broke, and finally, making it out the other side,” while introducing cocktail recipes.  

Ariana’s co-stars chimed in with messages of support with Katie Maloney, 36, writing — “Can’t freaking wait! So proud of you!”

Scheana Shay added — “A TRUE QUEEN,” and Ariana’s current boyfriend, Daniel Wai, joked — “If this is what it looks like when you throw a drink, throw them all on me!!!!” 

Ariana joked back — “Even a sticky one?!”

One follower changed the subject, asking Ariana in the post’s comment section—“Why do you still live with him?” referring to the Bravo star’s current cohabitation with her ex. Ariana and Sandoval still share their $2 million Los Angeles home, despite splitting in March. 

“I live in my home that I own while working with my lawyer and financial advisors to navigate the best path forward before uprooting my dog and my elderly cat and causing more trauma for the three of us,” she explained.

Another fan ripped Ariana for supposedly trying to “exploit the situation by cashing in.”

Ariana clapped back, writing — “‘Exploiting the situation’ … Sir, this is MY LIFE.”

Last month, a source told ET that Ariana was refusing to film with Sandoval as production for “Pump Rules” Season 11 kicked off. 

“Tom and Ariana haven’t filmed one-on-one and she’s telling her friends she won’t,” an insider told the outlet. “She’s made it clear she doesn’t want to film with Tom and is in a good place mentally, and filming with him will only cause disruption.”

The tipster added that Ariana Madix had also refused to participate in cast activities that involved her ex.  

“Ariana has also skipped group things, like the recent trip, to avoid Tom,” the snitch revealed. “They ended up filming her and Katie looking for new hires for their sandwich shop.”
