The real estate battle between Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval over their shared home has been a major storyline throughout Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules. Sandoval wants to keep the house and buy Ariana out, but she has accused him of being “psychotic” for suggesting it. The feud has escalated with Tom accusing Ariana of not contributing to the house financially or in terms of cleaning. However, Ariana refuted these claims during the VPR aftershow.
The crux of the disagreement seems to be over the furniture in the shared home. Ariana claims that she paid for a significant portion of the furnishings and planned on including them in her counteroffer for the house. She argued that the furniture she purchased after moving in should be considered part of her contribution to the household. However, Tom pushed back, insisting that they both contributed to the furniture in the home and that it didn’t make sense for her to include it in the offer.
Tom was particularly focused on a bespoke mirror that he believes he paid for, questioning Ariana’s claim that she should get to keep all the furniture she paid for. He criticized her plan to take what she wanted and donate the rest if she were to keep the house. Despite the ongoing dispute over the furniture, it’s unclear how much of an impact it will have on the ultimate resolution of their real estate battle. Notably, Ariana recently purchased a new home in Los Angeles for $1.6 million, suggesting that she may be moving on from the shared property with Tom.
This latest development raises questions about whether the drawn-out real estate battle between Ariana and Tom is being prolonged for the sake of the show. Some fans may be surprised to learn that Ariana tried to include the furniture in her counteroffer, suggesting that the issue is more complex than just a disagreement over the house. As new episodes of Vanderpump Rules continue to air, viewers will likely see how this conflict plays out and whether it will impact the dynamic between Ariana and Tom in the long run.
