Scandoval Becomes Public
Ariana Madix found out her boyfriend of nearly ten years was cheating on her with a costar. The other woman was Rachel Leviss who was one of Ariana’s closest friends. This has turned the cast against each other. Since then, Rache checked herself into a mental health facility to get the help she felt she needed.

Why Was Ariana Going To Be Cut?
A source revealed that Ariana was going to be cut from the series. They found her to be boring and she never caused drama.
“Producers were like, ‘We’ve had it with her.’ She was boring and they believed she didn’t bring anything to the table.”
She was kept around because of her relationship with Tom Sandoval. However, since the affair, she has gained countless opportunities and is the star of the show.
“Lisa even brought it up in conversation while she was mic’d in Season 10, around the end of 2022, she said, ‘If she doesn’t give something, she’s out.'”
It was shocking to fans that they were going to cut her for something so little. There was not even supposed to be a Season 11, however, the affair kept the show afloat.
“The show was supposed to be over after 10 seasons. Nobody had a contract to continue. So, the only reason the show got extended for another season was because of the affair. The timing of [Scandoval] happened to have been perfect, it was insane and proof that there can still be a monoculture.”
