Rachel Leviss catwalked onto Vanderpump Rules in Season 5. By the time Season 10 ended, her friendship with Ariana Madix was over. Sleeping with your buddy’s beau will do that, don’t ‘cha know? Following this scandal, Ariana saw her star rising, both in popularity with the viewers and in additional booked gigs. In stark contrast, Rachel’s star power began resembling a black dwarf (it’s a genuine science term, Google it), but as for the hate she’s received, Rachel now blames Ariana’s character. This … is a choice.
Rachel Leviss questions Ariana Madix’s character, as Ariana failed to protect Rachel from hate
Rachel has a podcast, just like many other Bravo stars. She uses her platform, Rachel Goes Rogue, to help answer questions about her affair with Tom Sandoval. Rachel does some other stuff on it as well, but for the most part, it’s either about Tom, their scandal, or how reality television sucks. In her latest episode, however, she brought up Tom’s ex, Ariana, who eviscerated her during the VPR Season 10 Reunion.
What Rachel had to say might shock you. Or not.
While answering questions from her fans, one suggested that the Scandoval nightmare helped launch Ariana’s career. This fact “irks” them. This fan allegedly then asked, “Does it bother you too?” It doesn’t, Rachel answered, but another aspect of Ariana’s heightened fame does.
After naming Ariana’s secured bags post-heartbreak, Rachel stressed that she is “happy Scandoval was able to launch” Ariana forward. However, “the part that irks” Rachel is how Ariana “went out of her way to dehumanize” her “at the reunion.” In Rachel’s opinion, Ariana’s emotions “helped propel more hate” and “death threats” in her direction. This extra dosage of heat sucked, as Rachel already felt shamed.
“It’s very telling to her character,” Rachel quipped. If you are wondering how this spin got spun, Rachel can explain. After comparing their situation to the Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez mess, Rachel pointed out that “one of the women” did the right thing as they urged the public to stop hate-spamming the other party.
Rachel finds this “a decent thing to do.” However, Ariana remained silent. So now, Rachel finds Ariana’s character lacking. Maybe it’s your lawsuit filing, Rachel?
Vanderpump Rules is streaming on Peacock.
