Ariana Madix Was 'Blown Away' by Ex Tom Sandoval's George Floyd Comment | LX3KNHV | 2024-03-01 23:08:01
Ariana Madix broke her silence on Tom Sandoval's problematic commentary concerning the widespread attention surrounding his dishonest scandal with Rachel "Raquel" Leviss.
"I was simply blown away by how anyone might say something so awful," Madix, 38, informed the Los Angeles Times in a profile revealed on Thursday, February 29.
Earlier this month, Sandoval, 41, was requested why he thought his infidelity became so big in the media. (Information broke in March 2023 that Sandoval and Madix referred to as it quits after nearly a decade of dating due to his affair with their now-former costar Leviss, 29.)
"I'm not a pop-culture historian really but I witnessed the O.J. Simpson thing and George Floyd and all these huge issues, which is actually weird to match this to that, I feel, however do you assume in a bizarre means it's a bit bit the identical?" Sandoval advised New York Occasions Magazine on February 20.
Tom Sandoval Compares Himself to O.J. Simpson and Danny Masterson
In a separate portion of the interview, Sandoval added: "I feel like I received extra hate than Danny Masterson. And he's a convicted rapist."
Masterson, 47, is at present serving out his 30-year sentence for rape whereas Simpson, 76, was famously acquitted on costs of murdering ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her pal Ron Goldman. Floyd, meanwhile, impressed Black Lives Matter protests around the globe after former police officer Derek Chauvin murdered him during an arrest in 2020.
Madix, for her part, questioned Bravo's response to Sandoval's controversial behavior, telling the L.A. Occasions, "It was fascinating how a lot Bravo was making an attempt to cover for him."
Pump Rules' Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval's Relationship Timeline
Based on the New York Magazine journalist behind the Sandoval profile, Irina Aleksander, a consultant from Bravo was not present during her initial conversation with Sandoval. Representatives for the network later allegedly tried to stop Aleksander from talking with Sandoval once more by offering other stars from Vanderpump Rules. When Aleksander finally reunited with Sandoval for an additional conversation, a publicist was present.
Sandoval issued an apology hours after his comments made headlines. "My intentions behind the comments I made in New York Occasions Magazine have been to elucidate the extent of national media attention my affair acquired. The comparison was inappropriate and ignorant. I'm extremely sorry and embarrassed," he wrote by way of Instagram Stories.
Ahead of Madix's profile, Sandoval addressed the drama again, saying in a pre-recorded introduction to his "Everyone Loves Tom" podcast on Thursday, "Earlier than we get into this podcast I needed to once more apologize for the feedback I made in the New York Occasions article. I stupidly was making an attempt to make a comparison at the absurd amount of nationwide media that my affair acquired. And the comparability I made was stupid and ignorant and I'm really embarrassed. And I'm actually really sorry."

Sandoval went on to slam his separate function in Interview Magazine. (He posed for a number of pictures with cake in an article that ran in the future after his NYT Magazine interview went reside.)
"They're like, 'We need to do a thing the place you've gotten desserts.' I'm like, 'OK, I don't know,'" Sandoval added on Thursday earlier than joking that he was on an "indefinite" press hiatus. "[The] Interview Journal [piece] wasn't grilling me concerning the present, so I accepted it with open arms. I didn't really like several of the muffins. All of them tasted like s—tty in their very own approach."
