Ariana Madix Going Big With Dolly Parton & John Legend

She’s a long way from Scandoval now as Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix is going big with Dolly Parton and John Legend.

Some people are defined by their worst and most difficult moments. But VPR star Ariana does not seem to be one of those people. Instead of being mired in the pain of betrayal after her partner Tom Sandoval and best friend Rachel Leviss had an affair behind her back, Ariana is thriving. She has turned a difficult situation into a path for the better. Now, she’s taking that path to the big time. Read on to find out what Ariana is up to, and how it involves Dolly Parton and John Legend.

Scandoval May Have Been Ariana’s Worst Moment, But It Wasn’t The End For Her

When news broke about Scandoval, it rocked the Vanderpump Rules world. Instead of loyally loving Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval was getting busy behind her back with none other than her best friend, Rachel Leviss, aka “Raquel.”

When it all came to light, one could be forgiven for assuming that Ariana would dissolve into an emotional puddle of heartbreak. After all, she lost not only the love of her life, she lost her best friend in the whole world. But Ariana is no quitter. Since Scandoval hit the headlines, Ariana has found a way to bank off her loss. And forge a new future for herself, leaving Tom and Rachel behind.

As the Vanderpump Rules cast films ahead of a new season, Ariana is testing the waters in arenas beyond Bravo’s small screen. And this time, she’s teaming up with the legendary likes of Dolly Parton and John Legend.

Ariana Madix Is Now Going Big With Dolly Parton And John Legend

After the news broke of Tom Sandoval’s betrayal of Ariana Madix, Ariana decided to make her sudden rise to fame work for her.

She has starred in a Lifetime movie, will appear in Season 32 of Dancing With the Stars, and has appeared in commercials for Duracell, Bic Razor, and an Uber Eats commercial with Scheana Shay and Lala Kent.  But perhaps her biggest moment comes in a commercial for the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Ariana, Dolly, and John teamed up for an NBC Olympics commercial, and it proves that Ariana is still out there slaying it despite everything she has been through. In the commercial, the camera first shows a “save the date” card. Dolly Parton appears, saying excitedly, “I’m going to outer space? Wow!” Off camera, a voice confirms, “Yes. Next July.” But Dolly’s face falls as she notes that her calendar reads “watch Paris Olympics” for July 26, 2024. She turns down the trip to space, explaining, “Oh. I can’t change these plans.”

Next up, John responds to some good news over the phone; “A residency at the Colosseum? The Roman Colosseum?” The off-camera voice confirms, “Yeah. It’s next summer.” But like Dolly, John already has plans for next summer. “Uh, can’t do it.”

Then, a glammed-out Ariana receives a phone call pitching a new television series. “Me? On a dating show for royals? Queen Ariana. I love it,” she chimes in excitement. The caller explains that it’s for next summer. Ariana, however, has to turn them down; “Oh. I have plans.” The video then cuts to the Eiffel Tower, illuminated by fireworks, and the logo, “Paris 2024.”

Are you already getting excited about the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris? And how do you feel about Ariana Madix turning Scandoval heartbreak into her own brand of success? Let us know in the comments. And catch Vanderpump Rules on Bravo.
