Ariana Madix Spotted After Tom Sandoval Cheating Allegations

Madix was spotted outside on Saturday after news surfaced of how she discovered inappropriate messages between Sandoval and  Vanderpump Rules co-star Raquel Leviss. The 37-year-old TV personality was seen as she hastily left her home in Los Angeles.

Madix departed the house that she shares with Sandoval, 39, without shoes on, after he returned to the abode following a performance with his band Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras on Friday in Anaheim, California.

As DailyMail reports, Madix left the house minutes after Sandoval arrived with makeup on his face and a collection of bags. Madix was spotted wearing a pair of woolly socks, Ugg slippers, gray sweatpants, and a pullover as she departed the area.

Madix and Sandoval's nine-year relationship went down the drain last week after Sandoval's affair with their 28-year-old co-star Leviss, was revealed.

News later emerged on Saturday from a Page Six source that Sandoval and Leviss had intended to inform Madix about the affair for weeks.

But, Madix ended up discovering their secret herself when she saw Leviss' texts on Sandoval's phone. The Pit and the Pendulum actor has apologized for the ordeal his actions caused on social media, but a source said there is more to the scandal.

According to the source, more information will be revealed in the coming weeks. In his public address on Instagram, Sandoval apologized to fans noting that all that happened was his fault. He asked fans to channel their anger to him while asking that his restaurant with Tom Schwartz be left out of the drama.

Sandoval added that his business partner had no idea what was going on, until recently and he did not condone it. The TV star also wrote of the restaurant staff noting that their jobs could be on the line f the establishment was affected. He stated to fans that he was sorry for the disappointment.

Last Friday, Katie Maloney and Scheana Shay were sighted on their way to visit Maix. The duo had stopped by to offer emotional support in light of her long-time partner's infidelity.

The star who appears to be dealing with heartbreak deactivated her Instagram account. She and Sandoval were last spotted together on Wednesday, and since then it's been a rollercoaster of emotions from all angles.

The actor had also addressed the infidelity issue while performing with his band Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras. He made a passing comment about the recent backlashes he had been receiving from fans. 

However, Sandoval's apologies were met with more criticism from fans. His fellow Vanderpump Rules co-stars including Lala Kent, Katie Maloney, and James Kennedy also revoked his statements. 

Sandoval's colleagues were quick to smash his apology on social media as they believed he did not do the appropriate thing. Kent for her part wrote on social media:

"S*ndoval. Shut up. Employees, abort mission."

Kent, 32, posted the comment on Saturday, March 4, alongside Sandoval's statement adding:

"Where’s Ariana’s apology in this? It’s called narcissism … & and it’s terrifying."

Kennedy also addressed the scandal in a since-deleted post. He noted that the restaurant owner did not mention Madix in his statement and urged fans to unfollow "this clown RIGHT NOW GO."

Ahead of the Vanderpump Rules star's split controversy, Madix shot down rumors that she and Sandoval were in an open relationship. She noted on social media that she and the Missouri native do not have an open relationship. One month later, Madix also explained to Us Weekly that she had to make sure people stopped spreading false news.

Us Weekly confirmed on Friday, March 3, that the couple had called it quits. It was later revealed that the former lovers had been having problems for a while before Madix discovered Sandoval's infidelity.

Sandoval met Madix when she joined the cast of the hit Bravo show in 2013, and they confirmed their relationship at the season 2 reunion which aired in February 2014. Since then fans have watched the couple navigate life through challenges and happy moments.

In 2016, Madix celebrated Sandoval's 33rd birthday with a lovely message on Instagram. That year the former couple also celebrated Halloween with Sandoval dressed as a vampire, while Madix was an ice princess as they attended the SUR's "Black Magic" Halloween party.

2017 also featured several beautiful moments including their red carpet appearance at the annual horse race in Louisville, Kentucky. The couple joined their colleagues including Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright for the event.

 In November 2018, the couple attended HARD's Day of the Dead music festival in Los Angeles, rocking full skeleton makeup. In 2019, Sandoval and Madix purchased their first home together in Valley Village, California. 

They also crossed another milestone in December 2019 by releasing their first book, Fancy AF Cocktails. The book features different cocktail recipes.
