Ariana Madix reveals whether she’ll return to ‘Vanderpump Rules’ for Season 12 following Scandoval

Ariana Madix isn’t sure if she’ll return to “Vanderpump Rules” for Season 12 just yet.

Amid an explosive Season 11 which opened with the aftermath of “Scandoval” and her breakup with ex Tom Sandoval, Madix, 38, said “it would have to make sense for me” to consider a return to the series.

“Our show has always thrived, it’s always at its best when it is at its most authentic and its most real, and I have to be able to show up and be real and be authentic in order for it to make sense for me,” she said while promoting her latest book, “Single AF Cocktails,” at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles on Sunday.

“So that’s the question I would be asking myself going into it,” she explained.

Madix and Sandoval, 40, broke up — after nearly a decade together — after it was revealed he had a months-long affair with their mutual friend and castmate Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.

Madix refused to film scenes with Sandoval when she returned to film the current season.

And to make matters worse for Madix, her current relationship with fellow “Vanderpump Rules” cast member Scheana Shay is also currently on ice.

“Things definitely aren’t where they were a year ago,” Shay exclusively told Page Six while promoting her partnership with Smirnoff ICE’s “Surpr-ICEs” campaign at this month’s Coachella music festival in Indio, Calif.



However, the “Good as Gold” singer, 38, was hopeful that things might change once Madix returned to the west coast after wrapping her performance as Roxie Hart in “Chicago” on Broadway — despite their recent clash during the Season 11 reunion taping of “Vanderpump Rules.”

Still, Shay and her husband Brock Davies attended Madix’s final “Chicago” performance on April 7.

There wasn’t much interaction between the two, but Shay says they were cordial and said hello to each other after the show.

“I think it’s just tough, the position we’re all in and the reunion didn’t necessarily help bring us closer together,” she divulges. “I can say that.”
