Ariana Madix Confirms Exit from 'Vanderpump Rules' as Show Reboots with New Cast

The reality star cites personal growth and mental health as key reasons for her departure after 11 seasons on the Bravo series.

Ariana Madix revealed she never intended to return to 'Vanderpump Rules' after the Season 11 finale, even before Bravo announced the cast reboot.
She explained that staying on the show no longer felt right for her, emphasizing that the reality TV environment hindered her ability to be authentic.
Madix prioritized her mental health during the show's production break, concluding that returning could undo the personal healing she had achieved.
Since leaving the series, Madix has pursued new opportunities, including hosting 'Love Island USA,' performing on Broadway, and continuing work on her sandwich shop venture.
Bravo announced in late 2024 that 'Vanderpump Rules' would move forward with a new cast, aiming to capture the dynamic energy of the original group.
