Ariana Madix had apparently taken a stand against him Bill Lee following the former Vanderpump Rules new star outing with ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval.
After Billie was photographed throughout the weekend with Sandoval, his month-long relationship with Rachel Lewis discovered in early March, Ariana appeared to unfollow him on Instagram – all while continuing to follow him Christian Doutewho called Billie out earlier this week.
As Pump Rules fans can recall, Christian made a point to note that Billie had “crying in Ariana’s house” with Ariana after the news of Sandoval and Raquel’s romance which first broke, prompting many to assume that she tried to play both sides. But according to Billie, who defended her friendship with Sandoval in an Instagram post on Tuesday, she doesn’t have to pick sides.
“Tom and Ariana are my family. They’ve been there for me over the years and I wouldn’t be where I am today without them. It’s so sad that people are so focused on taking sides. They’re both human and they’re both hurting. in their own ways,” Billie said on April 18. others are rarely immature. There is a world where you can support and exist between the two and that is the world I choose to live in. Ariana seems to be in a better place, I’m so glad she’s progressed and Tom is really working hard. to himself. I will continue to love and support him unconditionally.
Billie also applauded Kristen in an Instagram comment, saying she was “crying” at Ariana and Sandoval’s house because they’re both “family.”
“It’s sad and still! What are you doing when I’m crying!? Literally taking selfies with everyone including Ariana. Like who does that!?” he replied. “It feels like a funeral and you’re taking selfies. Read the room. [Your] Friendship is false and performative.”
And while Ariana has yet to publicly respond to Billie and Kristen’s feud, she has been seen taking sides on Instagram.
As a confirmation image, Ariana is currently unfollowing Billie, but she is still following Kristen.
Vanderpump Rules Season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
