Ariana Madix throws shade at Raquel Leviss over cheating scandal trends now

Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix threw major shade at Raquel Leviss on Tuesday over the cheating scandal involving her longtime partner Tom Sandoval.

The reality TV beauty, 37, was spotted out on a coffee run with a friend when she was asked if Leviss, 28, had apologized to her since the news broke.

She fired back: 'I don't know who you're talking about.'

Leviss and Sandoval's 'full blown love affair' was exposed earlier this month to the shock of Madix, who has since ended her nine-year romance with the restaurateur, 39.

She broke her silence on the matter last week in a lengthy Instagram post last Wednesday, where she admitted to being 'devastated and broken' but grateful for her supporters.

For Tuesday's outing, Madix was noticeably dressed down in a black sweatshirt and leggings.

She kept a white leather purse slung over her arm and strolled the sidewalk in athletic sneakers.

Her blonde hair was worn in a messy top knot and she carried a large Starbucks iced coffee in one hand.

Madix's male pal was clad in a stylish black leather jacket as they walked and chatted outdoors.

The videographer who captured her Leviss shade also asked if she was 'excited' for the upcoming Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion.

'What do you think?' she replied.

As to how Madix has been holding up, she insisted that she's been doing 'good' despite Sandoval's betrayal.

Madix made her first public outing since Leviss and Sandoval's affair was revealed as she dropped in on a comedy show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles last Saturday night.

Ariana looked in good spirits as she took part in the comedy gameshow - titled Make That Sandwich - which was just minutes from her ex's latest restaurant Schwartz & Sandy's Lounge. 

A source told Page Six that Madix received a warm welcome from the crowd as they erupted in 'thunderous cheers and applause.

It was also said that Madix was completely in on having a good time at the event.

The insider explained: 'From the smile on her face and the little dance she did while walking out on stage, she appeared a little surprised but super appreciative of all the fan support.

'And judging from the audience's excitement for Ariana, it was evident that the majority of people showed up to see her.'

Despite her current strife, Madix reportedly 'looked carefree' and there was no mention of the highly-publicized cheating scandal made during the show. 

'She seemed happy to have a fun night where there was absolutely no mention of 'Scandoval,'' the source added.

This came just days after Madix made her first statement after learning about the affair, which sent shockwaves across the internet last week.

The reality star - who recently enjoyed a getaway to Mexico - took to Instagram last Wednesday to share a stunning snap of herself with a lengthy caption addressing the scandal while thanking her friends including her castmates for their support during what she described as her 'darkest hours.'

She wrote: '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.

'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 and his mistress, 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 March 11, Sandoval apologized for cheating on Ariana Madix with Leviss on social media. He vowed to 'reflect and work on myself' in wake of the infidelity.

He then asked his followers not to take out their anger on his business partner Tom Schwartz, as well as his family and friends. 

'Hey, I fully understand and deserve ur anger & disappointment towards me, but please leave 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.'

Sandoval's Instagram apology post came 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.'

Leviss broke her silence days later and apologized for her 'actions and my choices to Ariana, my friend and the fans so invested in our relationships.'

She also said that she 'deeply regret[s] hurting Ariana.'  

A source recently 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
