Ariana Madix says she felt weird about having to return to TomTom for 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 11 premiere

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA: Ariana Madix opened up about the time when she had to revisit TomTom, the bar where she discovered her ex-partner Tom Sandoval cheated on her with her friend, Raquel "Rachel" Leviss.

The 38-year-old TV personality went to the West Hollywood restaurant, co-owned by Sandoval, in early January to attend the premiere of 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 11, as per PEOPLE Magazine.

Ariana Madix felt weird to return to TomTom for the 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 11 premiere 

Talking to PEOPLE Magazine, Madix said, "I hadn't been there since March 1, and then I ended up sitting in the same spot. And I was like, it felt weird, like, it was weird for a second. But then, like just having all the girls there that definitely made me just like… If I got my girls, I'll be OK."

Notably, in 2023, the reality show star found an intimate video of Leviss on Sandoval's phone, which led her to their nine-year relationship.

Besides, in a confessional clip, Madix shared, "I shouldn’t have to make my life smaller because Tom messed everything up and if I can go there and make new memories maybe it won’t have power over me anymore and I’ll be able to look at it as just some bar."

Explaining the moment she entered the place, the 'Vanderpump Rules' star said, "I didn’t expect to feel all of this coming up right now."

She further stated, "You think it’s just a place or it’s just a chair or it’s a table, whatever and I’ve sat in this table so many times but now that time is really taking over my memories of this place."

Raquel 'Rachel' Leviss hopes to be a better friend to the ones close in her life

'Vanderpump Rules' alum Leviss confessed to having done wrong in her New Year post. 

In her Instagram post, the 29-year-old wrote, "2023 hands down has been the hardest year yet. My life had become completely unmanageable and I was so far down the rabbit hole of making bad decisions that I NEEDED help." 

She continued, "I’m so blessed I was able to get the help I needed. Now, I finally feel like I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. As we set intentions into the new year, I vow to be a better friend to the ones close in my life. To those who have stood by me through my darkest days, I will always remember and cherish you."

"Eternally grateful for a second chance. Here’s to an epic 2024," added Leviss.

However, she did face some criticism, as one said, "Baby you caused that. That’s on you."

Another pointed out, "You have hurt a lot of people who cared about you. Second chance? Words are easy, actions are not. So time is all you have to earn anyone’s attention & respect." 

"you dont seem apologetic if you keep trying to portray to the public that you are winning," remarked a person.
