Ariana Madix Living Her Best Life on DWTS After Scandoval
The reality star is doing quite well.
Dancing with the Stars Season 32 has already sparked controversy. Fans have found it difficult to comprehend why Matt Walsh was the first to be eliminated and why Barry Williams' impressive performance in Episode 2 earned him only 16 points. However, the season did have its highlights, not just thanks to Williams, who quickly became a fan favorite after his first dance.
Ariana Madix of Vanderpump Rules quickly established herself as one of this season's most promising contestants. Her intense dances with Pasha Pashkov earned her the admiration of thousands of dance fans nationwide.
Getting Better
Madix became one of the most discussed celebrities this year, albeit for all the wrong reasons. Her longtime boyfriend and co-star, Tom Sandoval, cheated on her, and the ensuing scandal, dubbed Scandoval, captured fans' imagination for several months.
However, it looks like Madix has emerged from the controversy unscathed. She is currently living her best life, and her performances on DWTS certainly attest to that. Fans were quick to note how relaxed and rejuvenated Madix appeared while dancing with Pasha, arguing that she wouldn't be able to move like that if she were still with Tom.
By all accounts, Sandoval sapped her energy for a long time. Now that she's finally free, Ariana is experiencing a level of success she hasn't seen in years.
Madix vs. Sandoval
Madix and Pasha scored 20 points for their dance during Latin Week, solidifying themselves as a couple to watch. Interestingly, it seems that Madix outperformed her ex-boyfriend with her act. Sandoval was revealed on The Masked Singer after his first performance, which clearly indicates that people aren't particularly interested in following the disgraced reality star's career.
Let's hope Madix continues to shine on Dancing with the Stars and delivers another impressive dance during Motown Week, scheduled to air on October 10, 2023.
