Ariana Madix is grateful for the love she’s received since her shocking split with Tom Sandoval! At least, according to Katie Maloney!
Her Vanderpump Rules co-star and close friend took to Instagram Stories on Tuesday to update fans on how she’s been doing since her ex-boyfriend and Raquel Leviss’ cheating scandal erupted. Although Ariana deactivated her social media following the breakup, Katie shared that the 37-year-old has been “overwhelmed” by the amount of support on social media. She said in the clip while teasing that a “really cool” was coming for the duo’s sandwich shop, Something About Her:
“Tomorrow is International Women’s Day, but so many of you have been asking how to support Ariana and how to support the sandwich shop and tomorrow you will find out. Thank you so so so much and everyone make sure you check back on my page, maybe somewhere else.”

The 36-year-old podcast host added:
“I’m so excited for you all to see this and thank you so much for reaching out, honestly it’s been overwhelming, Ariana is overwhelmed by it, she thanks you all so much.”
As for what that “cool” thing is coming soon? Katie revealed on Wednesday that they launched merchandise for the sandwich shop to help out her and Ariana’s business! Ch-ch-check it out HERE!
Get that bag, gurls! Sometimes there is no better revenge than success – and fans of Vanderpump Rules definitely want to see Ariana thrive during this next chapter of her life!
Ever since the news of Sandoval and Raquel’s months-long affair broke, the cocktail book author has received a ton of kind messages from her fans online. Even most of her co-stars have been very vocal about the situation, even calling out Sandoval and Raquel for how they’ve been handling it. *Cough, cough Lala Kent!* A source previously told People her cast members and friends have been staying by her side through this difficult time, saying:
“Ariana has not been alone at all since this happened. She’s had a ton of support around her. All of the girls in their friend group are taking turns visiting her around the clock at her house. Everyone’s rallying around her.”
We love to see it, especially since Sandoval is still living with Ariana. Talk about being awkward AF. But as we mentioned, Ariana thankfully has so much support surrounding her — and will continue to see the overwhelming love from everyone with the launch of her and Katie’s merch.
