On Vanderpump Rules‘ Feb. 6 episode, the TomTom co-owner claimed his ex failed to help pay any of their bills for over half a year in the wake of their March 2023 breakup, despite still living under the same roof. And now, Madix is telling her side of their financial backstory.

“I have asked repeatedly for years at this point for said bills he’s talking about,” the 38-year-old said on the Bravo series’ latest after-show, released Feb. 7. “We’d always put money in a joint account and then have that account be the one that was hooked up to all of these different things.”

However, Madix explained that, when they refinanced their Valley Village home in 2021 to help Sandoval open his bar Schwartz & Sandy’s, his bank account became the sole account used to pay their mortgage and other bills.

But when his affair with former costar Rachel “Raquel” Leviss came to light last year, she cut her former partner of nine years off.

A Timeline of the Vanderpump Rules Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix Break Up Drama

“When we were together, maybe I would have trusted that s–t to be accurate,” Madix explained. “But once all this s–t went down, it’s like, ‘I don’t trust a f–king word you say.’ So, if you are going to tell me that I owe you a certain amount of money, you better be able to show your work.”

Although, Madix did say she has sporadically given Sandoval cash since their split.

“As for the refinance, I can’t prove s–t except I’ve given him checks for random amounts of money,” she noted. “But now, I don’t write him checks because I don’t believe a word he says about what I actually owe him. Because I also found out the amount of money I was giving him every month was an over-payment.”

“So until I get that breakdown,” Madix continued, “which I’ve asked now three different assistants for, you ain’t getting s–t from me, because you can’t show me what actually this is.”

As for why she’s even still living with her ex following the Scandoval controversy that blew up both their lives?

“You can’t sell the house unless both people agree to sell the house,” Madix explained on the VPR‘s latest episode. “But Tom wants to buy me out and stay there and I’m not just gonna pack up my clothes and hitchhike down the road because Tom offered me a measly sum of money.”

“The fact of the matter is he broke the home,” she added. “He f–ked all of this up. He doesn’t get to do that and then just, I don’t know, keep it.”

Ariana Madix & Daniel Wai Are Going Strong

Several days after Vanderpump Rules’ explosive reunion concluded June 7, Ariana Madix jetted off to NYC for some early birthday celebrations with her new man Daniel Wai.

The couple, who first sparked romance rumors in April when they were spotted making out at Coachella, attended Governors Ball Music Festival together with friends before heading out to party the night away on June 11.

Madix’s costars even gave their stamp of approval on her new boyfriend.

“The way that I witnessed him treat her, I’ve honestly—not even in the beginning of her relationship with Tom—ever seen her light up the way she does when he gets around her, when she talks about him,” Scheana Shay exclusively told E! News in May. “It’s been really, really amazing to just see her so happy.”

Lala Kent added, “Just the way that she talks about him, her energy is just completely different. I’m so happy for her, because as an outsider, I was watching her and her relationship, just really feeling for her.”

Tom Sandoval Defends T-Shirt Sex Comment About Ariana Madix

After receiving criticism from both fans and his castmates for calling out Madix for wearing a T-shirt during sex, Tom Sandoval insisted his words were never intended to be a dig at his ex’s physical appearance.

“I’ve never body-shamed Ariana—ever,” he clarified on June 14. “I don’t know if that was taken out of context. I think people added their own context to it.”

Meanwhile, Sandoval continued to tour the country with his cover band Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras.

Tom Schwartz Distances Himself From Scandoval

On the June 12 episode of Fox’s reality show Stars on Mars, Sandoval’s BFF Tom Schwartz revealed he wants to distance himself from his business partner’s “incredibly messed up” affair.

“It seems each time I try to weigh in or talk about, ramble on about it, drivel on, I inevitably sound like I’m somehow justifying it or making excuses for it, and I’m not,” he shared. “Any sort of version of his side of the story has become obsolete because of the way he handled it. Ultimately, that’s his life. That is his life. I did not have an affair. I am not him. It’s just so strange that I’ve been absolutely mired in this. It’s taken on almost a life of its own. And after this, I’m stepping away from it permanently.”

Raquel Leviss Enters Treatment

After revealing she was seeking mental health treatment in early April, Rachel “Raquel” Leviss remains in an undisclosed facility.

“She is a young woman that is and has been remorseful for her actions and has apologized repeatedly,” a source close to Leviss told E! earlier this month. “Her treatment is helping her learn the basis of her decisions and to grow from her mistakes with the hope of making better choices and becoming a better person.”

Lala Kent Regrets Verbally Attacking Raquel Leviss

One day after the shocking season 10 finale concluded, Lala Kent admitted she regretted going in so hard on Raquel over her affair with Sandoval.

“I felt dirty,” Kent told TMZ June 8. “After watching last night when she had finally had the breakdown—just as a human, because for me, it’s a reality TV show—I feel like we’re all, kind of, playing the same game. But when I watched that, I was like, ‘Oh, we’re maybe dealing with someone who maybe shouldn’t be on this type of platform.'”
