#Scandoval is Now Officially the Best Thing That Happened to Ariana's Career
Ever since news broke in March that Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix from Vanderpump Rules broke up, the hashtag #Scandoval has flooded social media.
This surge in attention has propelled Ariana to newfound fame, with many new fans eager to follow her life and career.
The cause of the breakup and the controversial hashtag can be traced to Tom's infidelity with another Vanderpump Rules star, Raquel 'the Bambi-Eyed B*tch' Leviss, who first joined the show in Season 5.
The revelation shocked reality show fans, especially since Ariana and Tom had been dating since 2013 and appeared to be the most stable couple on reality television.
Understandably, the cheating scandal hit Ariana hard. Castmates and fans of Vanderpump Rules rallied around her, describing Sandoval and Leviss as West Hollywood's most despised couple.
This was followed by condemning social media posts, negative Yelp reviews for the bar Sandoval co-owns, and jeers at his musical performances. Despite the difficult post-breakup period, fans are convinced that Sandoval's infidelity has actually boosted Ariana's career.
Now, Ariana Madix is arguably the most popular reality show star and one of the most recognisable celebrities. Her name and photos have been featured in hundreds of articles across major media outlets.
With a special Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion centred around #Scandoval set to air in the coming months, the height of her fame may still lie ahead.
Fans closely follow news of the reunion, which was filmed on 23 March and consisted mainly of one-on-one interviews. Ariana's fabulous reunion outfits have garnered praise, while Leviss and Sandoval experienced the full wrath of the cast.
Beyond Vanderpump Rules, Ariana's career is thriving. She starred in a Lifetime movie, Buying Back My Daughter, alongside Meagan Good, and is slated to compete in the next season of Dancing With The Stars. Fans are thrilled that Ariana is seizing these opportunities and not letting the scandal break her spirit.
The next episode of Vanderpump will be available to stream on April 12, 2023.
