“I Defended Him”: VPR’s Ariana Madix Reveals Truth About Tom Sandoval’s Tryst With “Miami Girl”

Following the Vanderpump Rules season 10 finale, Ariana Madix spoke out about what happened with Tom Sandoval and “Miami Girl.” When Kristen Doute and Tom broke up in Vanderpump Rules season 3, claims arose over Tom cheating with a girl in Miami named Annemarie Kunkel. Tom denied this, using his crush, Ariana, to help him deflect from the rumors. When Tom’s affair with Raquel Leviss was uncovered, Ariana ended her nine-year-long relationship with the bar owner-turned-cover band rocker. Dating Tom prior to Ariana, Kristen made claims that Tom was a cheater, but Tom painted her out to be “crazy” and gaslit Kristen into silence. He then began to date Ariana.
