AceShowbiz - Kristen Doute shares more insights into the aftermath of Tom Sandoval's relationship with Ariana Madix after his affair with their "Vanderpump Rules" co-star Raquel Leviss was exposed. During her appearance on Nick Viall's "Viall Files" podcast, Kristen talked about Tom's message to Ariana.
"I believe it was filmed -- he was just gaslighting her," Kristen said of Tom's apology to Ariana on Thursday, March 16. "There was no genuine apology. He was saying how she never supports him, she doesn't validate him. He was blaming her."
Kristen, who famously dated Tom for six years, added, "Of course it made her mad, but then when I filmed with her, she's like, crying and holding up her phone going, 'So, he's saying our relationship is that of convenience and contentment,' or something. Not love and romance... She said that Tom said this about she and Tom."
She continued, "And she's immediately just flooding tears, looking at her phone going, 'So, all of these memories, all of these wonderful trips we took, all of these videos I have, all these kissing photos, this was all bulls**t?' "
Kristen's interview with Nick arrived after Ariana broke her silence on the affair. "hi. where to begin?" the reality TV star wrote on Wednesday, March 15. "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," the 37-year-old Bravo personality added.
Ariana later stressed that "i know that i am not in this alone. so many of my closest friends are also grieving this loss right now and reeling from this betrayal on so many levels." She concluded, "i am so f**king 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."
