"Ariana Madix: There’s Just Something About Her" | Scheananigans

[@tazzibear86]

I think people forget that no matter how well Ariana is doing, she's still a person and the other two people in this situation continue to lie and torment her to this day. Their goal is to tarnish her name instead of being truely remorseful. I love the way she has carried herself during this breakup, her strength is an inspiration to a lot of women

[@cindyfitzgerald4500]

Ok Ariana was treated poorly by Tom & Rachel. However, the abuse that they did to Rachel was disgusting and should have been stopped cold by Andy Cohen. The women at this reunion totally abused Rachel and should be ashamed of themselves! They do not deserve accolades for abusing another human being.

[@thistleteastudies]

@@ScoobyDooDoo140 "Abusing"? How on earth was rallying to support Ariana in the midst of discovering Rachel & Tom's betrayal considered 'abuse' whatsoever?

[@haydenharris846]

I love how she explained the situation with their home. As a lawyer, I am happy she found good counsel who advised her not to leave the house. A lot of these fools who clearly have no understanding of the law don’t get that if she leaves and let’s him have full possession and control of the home, she could lose possession of it and be screwed financially

[@megravy835]

EXACTLY! anyone with a brain cell knows... YOU NEVER LEAVE THE HOME! Period! There's no excuse for not knowing your rights and/or the laws in your state! Edited: Spelling

[@seven92023]

She can explain and justify the house situation all she wants. It's still awkward. The reality is that she is financially tied to the house and Tom. The market is not good to sell and wont be for awhile.

​@megravy835 speaking as someone who doesn't understand (please educate, not shame), how would she lose possession of a property if her name is on the Deed?

[@Belle_Ndebeledoll]

@@DMV_469In the law it can be argued, that if she moved out, that by doing so, she abandoned the property and therefore gave up any rights to the property, despite her name being on the deed. To take back ‘possession’ it can cause her to be involved in very costly litigation. It’s not fair, and can put someone in a very dangerous situation especially in DV situations, but that is the law. If you’ve ever heard the expression possession is 9/10th’s of the law, this falls under that.

[@JWatts-ez8qx]

40:10 - "No one cared, the two of them didn't care about me. They didn't care that Charlotte Died, didn't care my Grandma died.. every I love you was a fake... every time I thought we were all joking around and having fun it was fake - it was an inside joke between the two of them, I was a joke" Heartbreaking.

Ariana as always carried herself with grace and class. It broke my heart to hear her say they didn’t care about her 😢 Anyone who says she was “too harsh” is fooling themselves into thinking they would act any differently. I hope Ariana can continue to heal peacefully, as she deserves and I absolutely can’t wait to see her shine on DWTS! Much love to Scheana and Ariana ❤❤

If you're w/a looser like that, then it's always a blessing no matter how bad it hurts for a while .. Eventually you always say ( even if you're not Ariana ) "holly shtt, what was I thinking back then!" .. Also, I'm a true believer that you might not know when something bad happens, what the good reason is, but you find out eventually .. Luckily for Ariana she had the best and so much support to help her through this very quickly .. She looks AMAZING now .. Even though she has ALWAYS been my favorite from day one on the show .. She's always been so cool and now she's getting everything that she's always deserved.🌹

[@latherandlace]

Arianna is landing exactly where she always should have been. In the spotlight, getting credit for her own successes, and happy. Tom is a narcissist, and while there can be good times with them (they are charming at times) she didn't get put on the pedestal she should have been on. Bethenny has it in for Bravo, and that's transparent, so her interview is bs. Total BS. Arianna has all good things coming her way! I'm here for it. This was one of your best interviews yet!

Now this is how you have an interview. The grace and strength Arianna has is so impressive. It’s really easy for people to pick apart things you say in the heat of the moment, but I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t have reacted the way she did in the reunion. I was honestly impressed at her strength in both interviews. I don’t really want to spend much time on Bethany and Rachel. I think anyone who is a good and level headed person can see exactly what they’re doing/who they are and why they’re doing it. But again, they’re more than free to do whatever they want with their lives. However, from my own personal experience, living your life authentically and truthfully, is the way to go. If not, your “tree” might look good on the outside but your fruit will most likely be rotten and eventually come crumbling down. I think that’s already happening to Rachel…. Hopefully one day she can be honest with herself and be remorseful. Not just for the people she hurt, but ultimately for herself.

I like how well Ariana explained why she’s staying in their house for the time being, despite not owing ANYONE an explanation. I understand why people are curious though and if there was some confusion before, her explanation should have very well cleared that up. I think her reasons are very valid and she is absolutely making the best choice for her. If I were in her position, I would do the same thing. She’s clearly learned from financial mistakes in her past and she’s not letting the optics of her current living arrangement force her to make any task decisions. Good on her!!

[@judithmcfarland943]

I disagree. While what what Tom and Rachel did was disgusting and I fully understand the full range of all emotions involved through personal experience, except I had three small children. Her behavior was far from dignified, poised, or classy. She went totally overboard in her repeated cussing out of Tom and Rachel. It was so beneath her. It would have been so much better to have let them speak, without interrupting them. They would have made fools of themselves. Which would be better than what she did to herself. She came off as a bitter, overbearing, raggy old hag that was worthy of cheating on! I lost respect for her. She showed a side of herself that is very dark and makes me wonder how much of her "personality" isn't manipulated for the shows story. Now we know their relationship wasn't as close as portrayed, what else was faked for TV. After all, they're just people, not super heroes.

[@justinegray2111]

I think what Rachel cannot comprehend is that a lot of the hate for her out there is really compounded by her lack of remorse and utter inability to not see that she is NOT the victim and not to mention her lies that are easily disproven. How self-centered she is is mind blowing. She honestly thinks that the partner of the man she was cheating with has no right to say anything to her, it is just wild how her mind must work. While it is absolutely true that woman always get the blame - even when they were the one who was wronged, like the hate Ariana gets for staying in her own home and for taking on new business opportunities, a man would never get hate for that. But in Rachel's case, I don't think she is getting more hate because she is a woman, it is because she is utterly and unbelievably selfish. I don't know if she is just that stupid or that evil. Probably both.

This is the difference when the interviewer has a much better understanding of what happened.... Schaena asked relevant open ended questions that allowed Arianna to have her say in her own words, did not twist anything and did not have her own agenda. Bethany had no clue what has gone on, had only Rachel's version of things and completely lead Rachel into being a victim of production, of people abusing her, of others benefitting financially off her. Bethany also had her own agenda regarding the reality reckoning and using Rachel as an example of that. That interview did not go well and I doubt people will have a better impression of Rachel after it.

Beautiful conversation! Well done 👑👑💖💖You’re both so intelligent and well spoken. I could listen to you forever!

[@ReneeG-]

I have been waiting for this!! Ariana….happy for you! Happy for you & Katie!!

[@elle_aye112]

40:08 - 41:07 hearing Ariana say this.... I've been there, too. The exact same words I have said over and over for years. I felt like a joke for so long and it was a cruel betrayal of trust. I'm sorry they made you feel this way and I'm glad they had to face their actions. Sending so much support.

[@reginehunter]

their friendship is so beautiful 🩷

[@kali.flowers]

How can anyone not love Ariana. She’s so genuine! She’s sweet, smart and of sound mind.. so rare on reality tv.

[@nicolegough2828]

I think that the reason that that's the case is because she didn't join the show for selfish reasons. She wasn't seeking this kind of fame. She joined the cast for scheana. Scheana was getting bullied and needed a friend on the cast. Then she fell in love with Tom and VPR came with the territory. She never caused drama and was always the level headed one in the group. She never tried to be the one in the spotlight so yes I think these are some of the reasons why she is so rare on reality tv.

[@Areyoutalkingtome781]

BS

[@nicolinatrejo9917]

LOOOOVE this! Ariana is so well spoken. Definitely wish I could be friends with her 🤗😂 She has always seemed so real to me. So personable. So sweet. Her laugh gets me happy every time ❤ I wish nothing but the best for her!

[@rhiannonrose4841]

I really appreciate this interview. The class and grace of how you guys spoke about everything just shows the maturity and truth both of you have.Tom really used everyone for his own narrative.Anyhow great interview after seeing Tom on the Howie podcast I refuse to give Bethany any watch time for her interview with Rachal but this was informative and Ariana was smart to let them say what they had to say first and then respond.Refreshing to see how she is using this experience to grow and work on herself .With that being said i hated this interview wasnt longer i love watching you guys have eachothers back because both of you were absolutely used and your both such amazing strong women.😊

[@lauraadams6730]

Thank you for saying something about Bethany's behavior. She showed a whole other side during her interview with Rachel. A side that was not very likeable.

[@alexaofelia2750]

I've NEVER understood the blowback on Ariana after the reunion saying she was "too harsh" ??? When you commit that massive of a betrayal, you dont get to dictate how people emotionally respond. Alexa, play "Mad Woman" by Taylor Swift. "The reaction to the offense somehow becomes the offense itself"

[@HayleyPhoebe]

What baffles me is that Raquel went away & came back & managed to blame everyone else in the situation and tried to play victim and basically is not sorry for what she did. The only two people to blame is Her & Tom. Raquel just keeps showing she’s fake as fark.

[@melissamadrid1981]

Goes to show how easily manipulated she can still be. She has a lot to work on and needs to move on from all of this. She is not doing herself any favors and needs better PR people.

[@drx6139]

I’m glad Ariana (even though she didn’t have to) explained that she’s not rich and she’s making the most responsible decisions for her money and protecting her livelihood. Everyone keeps saying how annoyed they’re with how many deals she’s getting but let her secure her future.

[@jennifer6833]

I appreciate Ariana’s candidness. I do have empathy for her. Wishing you Ariana good mental health day’s. You’re a phenomenal caring podcaster Scheana and you truly have found your sweet spot in podcasting. Thank you both for sharing where you are at instead of the internet of people telling us where you are at. Word of advice to anyone watching this interview, stay away from the internet telling you what people are experiencing. Instead listen to the people themselves first hand. Gossip is gossip. Be well Ariana and Scheana. 💖💖💖🌷

[@Jaukia]

First I want to say I admire/love your guy's friendship. Over the seasons and especially last season I've noticed how genuine your guy's relationship is and Scheana I have so much respect for you. You genuinely are a nice person. Ariana has been so admirable during this time. I relate to her so much. You two are special glad to hear from her

[@rachaelsway2746]

I love these two strong women their friendship has always been real and it’s so nice that Ariana has been surrounded by good people like scheana and thank god she no longer is with Tom she was always too good for him

[@suzystrempke]

Agreed!

[@bluehearts2012]

I’m SO excited Ariana has a book coming out! She’s such a smart grounded individual. Can’t wait to buy it.

[@karenlipman7545]

Great interview. Glad Ariana is doing well. She has always been my favourite. 😊

[@katherinerodz]

I love you two together! You’re both stunning. Love how supportive you are Scheana + love how much Ariana was sharing, it’s beautiful to see how much life is getting better for you both.

[@april_eacape77]

Ariana is so graceful speaking about all of this❤

[@marij3219]

Outstanding episode. You both did great.Bethenny has behaved shamefully. It's usually good if you look at all sides of an issue before publicly attempted to humiliate the true victim of a mess. Ariana, by far the best revenge is to move forward and thrive as you are doing. I'm so proud of you.

[@crystalbagby3263]

Ariana has always been quick to trust and defend bc she’s so honest & loyal herself. Never change that about yourself! ❤

[@carolineholden6921]

I freaking love Ariana. She's so level-headed, honest, and kind.

[@mariaphilomena1422]

I am LOVING this so much. Will Ariana ever repost her old podcast episodes? There was one that I referred back to so many times, about mental health. Love you girls! #PumpRules

[@KagomeYasha023]

Thank you for caring for your pets Ariana! People who care about pets are actually very compassionate and empathetic people.

[@shell5659]

I think Ariana needs to know how much strength she really has, to go through those types of losses and come out the other side is incredible within itself. Rachel I think still needs a lot of therapy and some acknowledgement of the mistakes, and not to shift the narrative of her and Ariana not being that close friends to justify the affair. Bethenny's been in this game for a long time she knows what she's doing $$$. Thank you Scheana & Ariana for a great interview.

[@rachallanae10]

I’ve been with my partner for 12 years coming up on the 23rd. We’re not married and don’t really have any want to be. It wouldn’t change the status of our relationship or the meaning of it to us. We have been committed to each other, have a 5 yo daughter, and do all of the things a husband/wife would do. I hate that they were attacking the validity of their relationship to justify the hurt they caused Ariana. I’m so glad she has come out on top. ❤️

[@brinichole9536]

ariana taking every opportunity she can to make a tangible monetary commitment with this large amount of attention will never not completely astound me she is a GENIUS

[@lauren1986able]

That’s one way to put it

[@dearblabby]

I had a semi-friend like Rachel in my younger years. She was the kind of woman that saw every other women as 'competition' and not 'friends'. She wants the attention of any man regardless of his attachments and regardless of how she even feels about him (Schwarts). Her self-esteem comes from the man actually choosing her. It's sad, but true. You can see how much she tried to destroy James' reationship and how she revelled in anything bad that happened to him. It's sociopathic and narcissistic.

[@logo9470]

That is Rachel/Raquel to a tee!

[@aimeek1540]

Yes,,,good point on destroying James relationship....I actually saw her trying to facilitate James take down while claiming to be his best supporter while they were together. It started season 8 with her little comments to Lisa and then how she reported it back to James by inserting her statements as if they came from Lisa. It was annoying then and now you are right sociopathic!!

[@dearblabby]

@@aimeek1540 She was calculating the entire time. She loved isolating James from his friends and getting between Katie and Tom even though she had no attraction to Schwartz. Rachel thought Schwartz was a puzzy and she's right, but then why the huge pretense in her interviews about liking Schwartz when all the while she's sleeping with Sandoval. She is an insideous, calculated creep and she is scary.

[@Itslaurennicoleeeee]

The fact that her takeaway from the reunion was that James said Ally was the was the upgrade says a lot.

[@kittenspit6]

It makes sense since she only knew other girls her age to actually be her competition in pageants.

[@alcionegonzalez198]

Great interview, Ariana always keeping it classy and supporting woman. She even has the ability to wish Rachel well, I mean wow. Talk about class ! Lol Also Scheana is growing on me. Good job interviewing her! ❤❤

[@niknik_5683]

I'm so proud of how Ari is making sure she makes all the right moves and not just move out of anger, bc most of us unfortunately do. Good job girl!!

[@energywellness8834]

Scheana, I also have to give you kudos for an excellent interview with great questions! You are truly what a best friend should be! Your genuinely happy for Ariana and I’m not hearing what about me like I have heard from other present snd past cast members that are so annoying!!🙄. I love the relationship you both have and it comes across on this interview. I also wish the best for you and your family❤. Summer Moon is just the cutest and I always tune into your Vlogs to see all the fun adventures in her life. Blessings to both you and Ariana always and forever ❤️🙏🏽

[@chantelxo5656]

Who else has been waiting for this 👏🏼

[@suzystrempke]

Ariana, I just want you to know that it hits me right in the heart to hear you be so gracious at a time when you have been so traumatized. It takes a special & resilient person to really pull yourself up and out after something like this happens. I know that despite a lot of the great opportunities and the support you have you are still hurting and trying to process, in addition to now going forward and having that little thing in the back of your mind (that will probably always be there) that is going to question the motives of every new friendship. And of course as we work through our traumas we find ways to learn to trust again and how to keep that thought from taking over, but it’s still there. The whole Bethenny/Rachel thing (and I’ve always liked Bethennys take on things in the past), but this whole thing she has going on with the podcast - it gives me such an ick in my gut, it doesn’t feel right, there’s an agenda, & it really has changed my view of her and not for the better. All of us who have survived these types of traumas know how hard these things are to navigate & I just want you to know I see the work you’re putting in to ensure you are taking care of yourself mentally, emotionally, and alll the other things and you are still being a good human to people who probably don’t deserve it because that’s who you really are. The authenticity that both you and Scheana have at your core shines bright in this podcast! I hope you guys see this & really feel the love.

[@Kaye_bravolover]

Your response was amazing mature and restrained. Love you for it

[@KristinaM624]

I give Ariana props for not going across that stage when she saw Raquel, and bust her up in her face! I've been to 12 weeks of Anger Management, so I've had trouble controlling my temper when I was young. Now I'm quick to walk away because I have a 16 year old son with autism to think about. He's my youngest. My other 2 are 30 & 19.

[@sam11297]

Great interview! Ariana is always so classy. I wish nothing but the best for her! 💕

[@kirsten9277]

Heck yes. Perfect timing beautiful. Have my wine, bubble bath and now this to listen to.

[@AnabananaBeauty]

I love Ariana she has been her genuine authentic self from day dot, and I am so happy she is out of a toxic relationship and thriving. I dont understand anyone turning on her. She has done nothing but be a queeeeen!

[@MM-rq9jc]

I love Ariana ❤ she so awesome And so well spoken and she handles all this messy crap that happened to her so classy, best wishes to you, you deserve it.

[@HighDesertCowgirl]

So proud of Ariana! This was a great interview and counterpoint to the Bethenny shenanigans. Ariana is so well spoken and thoughtful in telling her side. She expressed no anger or malice toward anyone, but very thoughtfully expressed her disdain for the wrongheaded Bethenny interview of Rachel and the many things that were wrong with it. Ariana is very smart to think about her future, and to protect her assets by surrounding herself with a team to guide her. She will emerge better from this on all fronts. Thanks to Scheana for providing Ariana an opportunity to clear up mistruths and to share her current perspective on her situation. Keep winning, Ariana!

[@stephanieanthony7791]

I just have to say, you both are two classy women!! I love Bethenny but I am so disappointed she did that interview. Andy told Lisa at the end of the reunion, it's going to take time!! It's very true. My husband of 23 years and we were together since we were 15 years old, total time together was almost 30 years and he cheated on me!!!!! I have been divorced now 14 years, and I can still cry from the pain from that time!! Ariana, the pain never goes away, but it gets better. Your beautiful, smart, loving, and a great person!!! Enjoy your life!! He lost the best thing that ever happened to him, and he will suffer a long time because of it!! Love you girls, can't wait for season 11!! Good luck with Dancing with the Stars!! Bring home the gold!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@superjackles17]

Awww Ariana "they didn't care" I felt that 😢.... I've been there, you do feel like everything was a lie, nothing was real and like you were the biggest fool for not seeing it. But she's doing so good & she has such an amazing support system around her. 👏

[@zeebee6370]

So happy that she isn’t staying quiet. She looks amazing ❤️

[@carliej3977]

This was so eloquently articulated ladies 🙌 and you both hit the nail on the head on all accounts re the “other” interview ( won’t give either any further credits by naming 😂). I’m so glad to see you both coming out the other side of this with each other and finding the light. Love you both and always been team A & S xx❤️

[@energywellness8834]

Scheana , I have been waiting for this BFF interview since the betrayal. You are the perfect person for this update. I am so happy Ariana is doing good!! To be honest, I only gave Sandoval a pass all these years because he was with her, but it appears the universe has freed us from all the darkness and I can now see the amazing glow in Ariana!❤️. Ariana is such a class act and is so genuine in her energy. I am so happy She is being blessed with abundance from the universe and all the jealous people and haters can just navigate over to Bethenny”s podcast because that’s where those people belong.. I am so happy Ariana knows that most of the world had her back and although she also deals with mental wellness, and has been very upfront about it, I’m happy to hear, that she wishes Rachel wellness and I also wish Rachel continued well-being and hopefully she will go back to the wellness center for more treatment as it’s clear she needs it. The universe will deal with Sandoval, as nobody is excused for what we do in the physical, and we either are held accountable in the physical or spiritual, but we will all have accountability for our actions, one way or another. Ariana, I will always have your back and I can’t wait to visit the sandwich shop, pictures online are amazing❤❤❤ Dang it, we needed a part two, because I wanted to hear so much more from her😊

[@johnene]

Thanks for doing this. I was so gaslit I was wondering if I didn't see what I watched. 🤔 Lots of love to Ariana I've always related to and appreciate that she shares so much, especially about her depression.
