Ariana Madix Deactivates Instagram: What Happened?

Ariana Madix is normally active on Instagram. She responds to the fans who watch Vanderpump Rules. The Bravo star is also quick to shut down rumors involving her and her long-time boyfriend Tom Sandoval. As TV Shows Ace reported, Ariana and Sandoval went their separate ways.

VPR co-star talks about mental health

Ariana Madix has opened up about her mental health struggles. She admitted that she had a full-blown eating disorder when she first appeared on Pump Rules. Back in February 2022, Ariana talked about her issues with depression. On Scheana Shay’s podcast, she shared the time that it comes in “waves,” but she’s learned how to manage it.

“I think that recognizing it as a thing and allowing it to be what it has definitely helped with getting better or at least dealing with it as it comes in those waves, those ups, and downs,” Ariana Madix explained on the Friday, February 11, 2022, episode of Scheananigans with Scheana Shay. “[My depression] was probably always there a little bit under the surface, but I would fight against it so hard I didn’t know what to call it.”

The former SURver was relieved to receive a diagnosis. Ariana notices the signs and when her thoughts aren’t “safe.” She knows her depression is “separate from me.” It’s an ongoing journey for her.

During that same episode, Ariana talked about her eating disorder. She joined Vanderpump Rules during Season 2. Ariana refused to eat but didn’t know that it was an issue at the time. She eventually got help and took control of her eating disorder.
