Ariana Madix Confirms Heartbreaking Code Name Used In ‘Scandoval’
Tom Sandoval had no problem covering his tracks when he was cheating on Ariana Madix. His affair with their Pump Rules co-star and close friend, Rachel Leviss was hidden for seven months. Yet, Madix had a sneaking suspicion something was not right. So, when his phone fell out of his pocket, she felt the inkling to go through it and there was the proof. However, he did not have her listed as ‘Rachel’ or ‘Raquel’ but rather ‘Jamie.’ This had been alleged prior but Ariana is finally setting the record straight. Moreover, she is sharing why this name hit so close to home.
Now, Madix is opening up about the code name in her cocktail book, Single AF Cocktails: Drinks for Bad B*tches. It will be released on December 5th, the same day as the DWTS finale. Along with fun cocktails, there will be stories to go along with them to give some insight into Ariana’s life. Per People, the sandwich shop owner spoke about Jamie and why it cut like a knife. In her book, Ariana Madix says that Sandoval was “so committed to this double life that he used ‘Jamie’ as a code name for her in his phone.”

Okay, so he used a pseudonym but why was Jamie so triggering? Madix’s late father’s name was James. It has been pointed out in the show that Tom and Ariana truly clicked when her father passed away in 2013. He rushed to be by her side and that killed his then-girlfriend, Kristen Doute who had suspicions they were more than friends.
“The worst part is that my dad’s name was James, may he rest in peace. Imagine seeing a screenshot of a text in which he tells a friend how he ‘took Jamie to the mile high club.’ For him to use my dad’s name for her was a level of disrespect I didn’t realize was possible.”
The True Ariana
Being on DWTS, viewers have gotten to see a real and raw version of Ariana Madix. Yet, she was not about to make her time on the show about the scandal and she held firm to that. However, she explained that this book will welcome fans inside her private life that is not shown on television. The ‘JAMIE’ drink she created is a very dirty martini so it fits the situation. Then, everyone can toast to Ariana’s father who would be so proud of how far she has come.
