The Valley features former Vanderpump Rules stars Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, and Kristen Doute. Plus, Pump Rules alums Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, and Tom Schwartz have all made guest appearances. It’s like the OG VPR never left! Of course, Ariana Madix is too booked and busy to appear on the series. And there may be another reason why you won’t be seeing her on The Valley. This diva seems to prefer to keep her life drama-free these days.
Ariana Madix has never watched “stressful” The Valley
Meanwhile, Ariana’s sandwich shop with Pump Rules alum Katie Maloney, Something About Her, is thriving. After battling her ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, to sell the house that they bought together, Ariana is living in a new home in the Hollywood Hills. And, she is crushing it as the host of Love Island USA. She returned to host Season 7 of the series.
So, what does Ariana think about The Valley? Ariana was quizzed about watching the spinoff in a game of “never have I ever” with Delish. “Never have I ever watched The Valley. I have not watched The Valley,” Ariana admitted.
“Of course, I’ve seen clips on TikTok and stuff. It seems very stressful.” Season 2 of the series is dramatic. The contentious divorces of Brittany and Jax, and Michelle Saniei and Jesse Lally, amp up the drama. And of course, Kristen expertly stirs the pot.
Ariana continued, “Watching people that I care about be stressed out and stuff, it sucks. So when we talk, they fill me in – by all means, please, I want to know about their lives.” She added, “But to watch it, it’s hard. It can get very dark over there.”
The Valley airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
