Vanderpump Rules Reunion Part 2

Ariana Madix Gets Candid About Soul-Sucking Poisonous Gossip And More Reflections On Vanderpump Rules Reunion

Ariana Madix has had a weird season on Vanderpump Rules and I’m sure she’s glad to put this one behind her and hopefully move on to better one next time. She shared her thoughts on part 2 of the reunion – including her current friendship status with Scheana Marie, why she thinks Stassi Schroeder came back to the show and more.

On why Ariana feels this cast is so toxic, “The poisonous gossip that occurs regularly within this group of people will suck your soul dry if you let it. Gossip and feeding off of other people’s shortcomings is an addictive thing, but it makes me feel horrible about the life I’m living. I’ve been a witness to it, a participant in it, and a victim of it. It feels like an endless cycle of hurting and forgiving each other.”

She continues to explain why she’s been miserable, “It’s been so hard for me to see people I care about being mistreated and feeling as though I’m the only person who cares that those things happened to them. It’s every man for himself. I’m learning to only care about my own well-being because of that and I’m wondering if that’s a good thing. I don’t want to be that person. I love all of my friends and making a habit of talking about them when they aren’t around is not something I want in my life. You can easily get caught in the spiral and it feels like shit in there.”

She forgives Scheana for texting with her mom about Tom, but their friendship won’t be the same. “I didn’t plan on busting out my phone in that moment, but I had been reading through everything knowing it would be brought up soon (and I had been sitting on my phone the entire day to play on it during breaks). Impulsively, I whipped it out when I felt the truth wasn’t being told. Now that it has, it’s a dead issue.”  On getting their old friendship back, “Probably not, but that’s ok. The future is always better than the past. When Scheana and I were at our closest, I was at a personal low. I’d rather everything be on a higher level.”

On Lala and Brittany’s first reunion taping, “I think they were both wonderful. They are so different from each other, but both are very strong women who know how to speak their minds.”

On Stassi Schroeder’s motives for returning to Vanderpump Rules, “I think she did miss having Katie in her life. Katie is an amazing friend and person and Stassi would be a robot not to miss her. However, I think everything else about it made it clear that she wanted to be on the show. If there wasn’t a show, it’s a hard maybe that she would have eventually reached out to Katie, but I don’t think she would have made any effort to speak to anyone else.”
