24 hours prior, she finally broke her silence about Sandoval and Leviss's cheating scandal, which sent shockwaves across the internet.

The actress - who recently enjoyed a getaway to Mexico - took to Instagram to share a stunning snap of herself with a lengthy caption addressing his infidelity while thanking her friends for their support during what she described as her 'darkest hours.' 

'hi. where to begin? i want to express my most sincere gratitude for the outpouring of love and support i have received from friends, family, and people i’ve never even met in the last two weeks,' she wrote on Wednesday. 

She continued: ''when i have felt like i couldn’t even stand, you all have given me the strength to continue and seen me through my darkest hours. to say i have been devastated and broken is an understatement. however, i know that i am not in this alone.' 

As many of her Vanderpump Rules co-stars of the past and present have publicly supported her including Scheana Shay, Kristen Doute, and even Leviss' ex James Kennedy, she made sure to thank those who have been there for her. 

Madix continued: so many of my closest friends are also grieving this loss right now and reeling from this betrayal on so many levels. i am so f***ing lucky to have the best support system in the world and i hope i can repay every single person for the love you have shown me.

'what doesn’t kill me better run. love, ariana'

Days ago, after reactivating her Instagram account following a brief hiatus on the platform, Ariana seemingly blocked her ex-boyfriend, 39, and his mistress, 28, who are no longer under her following list or tagged in previous photos.

When someone blocks a user from their account on Instagram, their tag on a photo will disappear, leaving only the person's face or likeness in the image.

While Sandoval and Leviss are no longer tagged in her posts, Madix has not deleted past birthday and anniversary tributes dedicated to Sandoval, who she dated for more than nine years.

The TV personality, who worked as costumed characters such as Ariel and Aurora at Disney World in college, also unfollowed Sandoval's close friend, Tom Schwartz, who allegedly found out about his pal's cheating 'a month ago.'

Sandoval, who is also business partners with Schwartz, wrote on his Instagram that his costar only learned of his infidelity 'very recently' and 'did not condone' his actions.

On Saturday, Sandoval apologized for cheating on Ariana Madix with Leviss on social media.

'Hey, I fully understand and deserve ur anger & disappointment towards me, but please leave [Tom] Schwartz, my friends, and family out of this situation…' he wrote. 

He continued: 'This was a very personal thing. Also, Schwartz & Sandy's might have my name on it, but also there are 3 other partners and 20 employees, who especially rely on the restaurant for income for them and their families,' Sandoval said, nodding to his new bar and TomTom, which opened back in 2018.

The actor went on to say he was a 'small part of a much bigger thing' and pleaded with his 961,000 followers to direct their 'anger towards' him and not his associates.

'They did nothing wrong. I'm so sorry that my partners, Greg, Brett, and Schwartz and our employees have to suffer for my actions. I will be taking a step back & taking a hiatus out of respect for my employees and partners. I need some time to address everything else,' he concluded. 'Sorry for everything.'

A source has now informed Page Six that Sandoval and Leviss had been meaning to inform Madix about the affair 'for weeks.'

They waited so long, though, that Madix wound up discovering their secret herself Wednesday night when she saw Leviss' texts on Sandoval's phone.

Sandoval's apology post, which has received 21,881 likes in just two hours, comes less than 24 hours after he addressed his cheating scandal for the first time while performing with his band Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras.

'Have you ever been one of the most hated people in America?' the TV personality asked the audience, according to Us Weekly, alluding to the backlash over his affair.

In a TikTok video taken at the concert, a woman in the crowd could be heard screaming: 'Ariana!' to which Sandoval said: 'We love her.'

Madix, is said to have found out about Sandoval's alleged cheating with Leviss, 28, in the last couple of days, ending their nine-year romance shortly afterwards.

A production source told DailyMail.com: ‘There is more to this story that will be revealed in the coming weeks but all is not what it seems, however, it is true that Tom and Raquel have been hooking up.

‘We should change the name of the show to Raquel Rules as she has certainly become the star of the show this season, giving it her all.
