In March 2023, Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval broke up after a decade together and a jointly purchased house in 2019. This all occurred right after Vanderpump Rules season 10 wrapped filming. Sandoval was reportedly on stage performing, and Madix got hold of his cell phone.

On Vanderpump Rules, Madix justified looking through Sandoval’s phone as “intuition.” Lo and behold, she found evidence that Sandoval was having an affair with Pump co-star Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.

Through June 2024, many artists posted screenshots of their new profiles from Cara, an art portfolio app, on Instagram in protest against Meta’s updated policies involving AI training.

Coalitions of content creators flocked together in solidarity against Meta and planned a mass exodus from Instagram in response. These artists are angry; this information came way too late when the AI training originally started, and all of this comes without consent and no alternative.

Bravo’s coming for your favorite nepo-baby’s crown with Making It in Manhattan, which follows a group of friends striving to make something of themselves in the Big Apple. The twist is that many of the show’s cast will be the adult children of Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise.

Currently filming in New York City, cameras were seen at Countess Luann De Lesseps’ cabaret show following RHOSLC’s Meredith Marks’ son, Brooks Marks, RHOA’s Kandi Burruss’s daughter, Riley Burruss, and company. Also sighted filming was RHOA’s Kim Zolciak Biermann’s daughter, Ariana Bierman and RHOFNJ’s Teresa Giudice’s daughter, Gia Giudice.

If we focus on the aftermath of Scandoval on Vanderpump Rules and all the subsequent castmates’ podcasts, Amazon live streams, and social media posts, plenty was spread out in the off-season between filming, which left the show in a strange position.

This got to the point that when Bravo picked up production in the early summer of 2023, following the viral cheating scandal, much of what had made for great TV had already played out online, leaving season 11 of Vanderpump Rules to become an overproduced mess, and it hasn’t been the only show to suffer from this phenomenon.
