Ariana Madix spends time with pals including co-star Scheana Shay amid ... trends now
Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix was seen taking comfort in her friends Tuesday amid her breakup with her co-star Tom Sandoval.
Sandoval and Madix were together for nearly a decade until their split last week after she discovered his affair with their castmate Raquel Leviss.
Madix, 37, was spotted out to dinner Tuesday night with a group of friends that included Scheana Shay, also of Vanderpump Rules fame.
While sitting at an alfresco table Madix cooed over Shay's one-year-old daughter Summer Moon, whom she shares with her fiancé Brock Davies.
She was also sighted that day enjoying a stroll with a male pal wearing a sweater with a picture of her face and the phrase: 'It's Ariana, B****!' - a take-off on the Britney Spears fan slogan: 'It's Britney, b****!' from her song Gimme More.

The day of their outing, Page Six alleged that Leviss had filed for a temporary restraining order against Shay. At present, it is unknown if the TRO was granted.
Last Wednesday, the day before the cheating scandal broke, Leviss and Shay were together in New York City to tape Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
Madix is said to have found out about Sandoval's affair that night in Los Angeles when she saw incriminating texts from Leviss on his phone.
Leviss reportedly told Shay about the affair in New York that same evening, prompting what a Page Six source called a 'heated confrontation' between them.
'After taping Watch What Happens Live, Scheana and Raquel went out to drinks with friends. At one point in the night, Scheana lost Raquel and then found her outside of the bar on the phone with Ariana, who Scheana could hear was bawling.'
The insider claimed that Shay asked Leviss to explain the situation and Leviss responded by telling her about the affair - with Madix 'still on the phone.'
Madix meanwhile is said to be receiving 'a ton of support' amid the fallout of her breakup with Sandoval.
'Ariana has not been alone at all since this happened,' an insider told People. 'All of the girls in their friend group are taking turns visiting her around the clock at her house. Everyone's rallying around her.'
