Ariana Madix was reportedly “blindsided” by her Vanderpump Rules producers at Friday night’s taping of the season 11 finale in San Francisco.
Following the release of a shocking video of Tom Sandoval, 40, being attacked by an unidentified man amid filming, reports of Ariana, 38, making an early exit have been shared, as have other spoilers regarding the finale, including Sandoval’s drama with Scheana Shay, 38, and Lala Kent, 33, and Katie Maloney‘s arguments with Tom Schwartz, 40, and Jo Wenberg.
“I’m seeing a lot of videos from the [Pump Rules] finale party [and] it looks like Ariana was in a heated conversation [with] a producer (her [boyfriend Daniel Wai and best friend Brad Kearns] were by her side) [and] left the party. Sandoval was seen arguing [with] Scheana [and] Lala. Katie was arguing [with] Jo,” Bye Wig, Hello Drama revealed in a post shared to their Instagram page on September 2.
“Katie was also arguing with Schwartz!” they added in the caption.
In another spoiler from Deux Moi on Instagram, an insider shared a photo of Sandoval and a woman, seemingly Scheana, along with a couple of messages.
“Sandoval spotted at season finale [Vanderpump Rules] filming,” they wrote in the first.
“He’s been fighting with Scheana for about an hour now,” they added in a second.
And in another message also sent to Deux Moi, more details regarding Ariana’s interaction with producers were shared.
“Producers blindsided Ariana and tried to make her have a conversation with Sandoval and [Scheana],” a tipster wrote in their message. “She ran off super upset and [the producer] tried to talk her [into] going back and she didn’t want to and left the party.”
As Pump Rules fans have surely seen, the finale taping ended with drama as a man tossed a drink at Sandoval and nearly threw a chair at him before being constrained by security.
While no one knows the identity of the man quite yet, Billie Lee said she had interacted with him earlier in the night, and learned that he knew a lot of personal information about her that had never been made public.
“I don’t know how he got into a private event. All I knew is he was creepy from the start. He knew way too much personal information about me that’s not public and then he went crazy. It was scary,” she recounted on her Instagram Story after the event concluded.
Vanderpump Rules season 11 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year.
