Ariana Madix has learned that her boyfriend of nearly 10 years, Tom Sandoval, is having an affair with friend and Vanderpump Rules cast member Rachel "Raquel" Lay Rachel "Raquel" Leviss's life changed after a months-long romance. The world was moved by Ariana, which led to massive brand deals, a spot on Dancing with the Stars and her Broadway debut in Chicago . But what about her cat?
Honestly, Ariana's cat Kitty is probably Scandoval's biggest victim.
On the March 19 episode of Vanderpump Rules , Sandoval hosted a "sexy bachelorette" pool party (because all roads lead) with friends he met at James Kennedy's See You Next Tuesday DJ set and some girls. leading to SUR). Even Tom Schwartz disagreed, saying he shouldn't be flirting with the new woman Ariana lives in the same house with.
Of course, Ariana left before the event began, leaving Katie to deal with the commotion alone. The old cat only appears a handful of times, including a moment where she has to fight off random guests and a moment where she has to witness some backyard idiocy happening without any way to stop it. Kitty is visibly unhappy, and while Ariana can leave to avoid it, she's trapped.
If Kitty is tired of Sandoval's pool party antics, imagine what she's been through since the scandal broke last March. Ariana's showdown with Sandoval in the Season 10 finale, filmed the day after she learned of his affair, captivated TV viewers. But think of Kitty, who might be hiding from the chaos or having to watch it all out of sight of the cameras. (Not every pet is as strong as Ariana's dog Maya, who stood stoically by her side before the blowout.)
From that point on, Ariana and Sandoval agreed to have no contact while living in the same house. This makes Kitty the focus of growing tension between the former couple. Of course, this isn't the first time Cats has had a front-row seat to pump rule drama. Ariana had Kitty before she started dating Sandoval in 2014, which means she's seen everything in their relationship and circle of friends.
To her credit, Ariana seems to be doing her best to appease Katie. In fact, one of the reasons she lived in that house with Sandoval was to avoid uprooting her cat. She also involved Kitty in one of her many post-Scandovarian branding deals with Tiny Cats litter, proving that she would take care of her kids during any major disaster.
