Ariana Madix may have to film with Tom Schwartz — but that doesn’t mean she has to be his friend.After several Vanderpump Rules cast members shared photos on Saturday, August 5, of the group filming at Ariana, 38, and Katie Maloney’s sandwich shop, Something About Her, fans questioned whether Ariana was now on good terms with Schwartz, 40, because they were seated near each other.“Whole cast is missing Sandoval.

And I thought Ariana said we can’t be friends with Schwartz???” wrote one social media user in the comments section of a post from QueensofBravo’s Instagram.Ariana clapped back at the assumption that she forgave Schwartz for his involvement in Tom Sandoval‘s cheating scandal with Raquel Leviss. “I’m not friends with Tom Schwartz,” she replied with a shrug emoji.The costars have been on the outs since news broke in March about Sandoval’s infidelity, which led to his split from Ariana following nearly a decade of dating.

Schwartz was accused of helping Sandoval, 41, cover up his romance with Raquel, 28.“I learned about the affair in August. The one-night stand was in August and then it became, from my point of view, it became an emotional affair.

Which is still inappropriate, but I didn’t think it was linear,” Schwartz, who had his own makeout with Raquel in August 2022, said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in April. “[Then] in January, he came to me and told me that he was in love with Raquel.”Schwartz raised eyebrows after he used the interview to ask Bravo fans to forgive Sandoval, adding, “First of all, Ariana, love you.
