Ariana Madix Responds to Tom Sandoval's Lawsuit

In a recent public appearance, Ariana Madix, star of Vanderpump Rules, briefly addressed the ongoing legal drama involving her ex, Tom Sandoval. This comes nearly a month after Sandoval filed a lawsuit against Madix, which he later claimed was a misunderstanding instigated by his attorney. When asked by a fan if she believed Sandoval's assertion that he had no intention of suing her, Madix responded with a shrug and a smile, indicating her ambivalence about the situation. Sandoval took to Instagram on July 19 to clarify his position, stating that he never intended to sue Madix. He explained that his attorney, Matt Geragos, had miscommunicated the nature of the legal action, leading to the filing of a Cross-Complaint. Sandoval expressed regret over the situation, announcing that he had removed Geragos from his legal team and was working to resolve the matter swiftly so both he and Madix could move on with their lives. During the same event, Madix was asked about her current relationships with other cast members. She confirmed that she has not been in touch with Tom Schwartz but has had occasional conversations with Scheana Shay. Reflecting on the impact of recent events, Madix acknowledged that her friendship with Shay had suffered but emphasized that there remains a lot of love between them. Finally, when asked about the biggest lesson she has learned over the past two years, Madix stated, "I am capable of so much more than I think I let myself believe." She also dismissed rumors regarding her friend Katie Maloney's dating life, specifically denying any involvement in setting her up with Conor Newsum from Love Island USA.
