Ariana Has Epic Slam Against Tom’s T-Shirt Dig, ‘Pump Rules’ Cast Weighs In

Scandoval couldn’t end without one last epic merchandising.

Ariana Madix shot back at ex Tom Sandoval after he died during the last part of the Vanderpump Rules reunion, which aired on Wednesday, June 7.

When asked if Sandoval, 40, had slept with anyone else during his affair with Rachel Leviss, Ariana, 37, who started dating him in 2014, joked: “Do you know who he slept with after him and Raquel started sleeping together? Me.”

“She kept her T-shirt on. It was very hot,” Sandoval replied.

While Lala knows calling him a “f-king dk” on the show, Ariana took to Instagram in real time to get a shirt that reads, “Fk Me in This T-Shirt.” The T-shirt is sold through Ariana and Katie Maloney‘s upcoming sandwich shop, Something About Her, for $34.99.

The three-part reunion documented Ariana slapping both Sandoval and Raquel, 28, over their months-long fling. Throughout the episodes, TomTom’s co-owner doubled down on his suggestion that one of the reasons he cheated was because the couple was not happy or having regular sex.

“Tom made the comment he made about Ariana being intimate, but you know, she was wearing a T-shirt and how that wasn’t hot — I think he was exhausted at the time,” Vanderpump Rules executive producer Alex Baskin told Variety in a video published Wednesday. “And I think he felt like he caught a lot of incoming fire. And I think he made a really sorry, stupid comment that was bad at the time and then played even worse than I remember, which is saying something, because we all, you know, gasped when we saw it.

Baskin added: “He actually reinforced everything everyone thought anyway, and I think instead of people somehow feeling bad for him, even though he put himself in this situation, I think that made him seemed like an asshole.”

During the same video Andy Cohen noted that Ariana was “done” as she navigated her “anger” during the reunion — “She was pretty awesome” — but he couldn’t say the same for Sandoval.

“This was a situation with no redemption for him, I really think. In terms of how he did… Not great,” he said. “He was really a shell of himself. He was shaking. I’ve never seen him in that form. And that was a bad line.”

The special ended with Raquel revealing new details of the affair through a confessional interview after confirming that Sandoval had encouraged her to lie to their costars about the timeline of their romance.

“[Sandoval] feels like it would be less hurtful to say that, you know, this wasn’t going on that long. [But] the second time was actually during Mexico [at Scheana Shay and Brock Davies’ August 2022 wedding]’ she admitted. “He’s my only person I have and if I just betrayed him then I really wouldn’t have anyone.”
