The 38-year-old admits she's unsure if she will return for season 12 of *Vanderpump Rules*. [Ariana Madix](https://allabouttrh.com/category/vanderpump-rules/ariana-madix/), who returned for season 11 of* Vanderpump Rules* to document the aftermath of Scandoval and her breakup with ex Tom Sandoval, says ***“it would have to make sense for me” ***to consider a return to the series for another season. ***“Our show has always thrived, it’s always at its best when it is at its most authentic and its most real, and I have to be able to show up and be real and be authentic in order for it to make sense for me,”*** she said at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on Sunday, per *[Page Six](https://pagesix.com/2024/04/22/entertainment/ariana-madix-reveals-whether-shell-return-to-vanderpump-rules-for-season-12-following-scandoval/)*. ***“So that’s the question I would be asking myself going into it,”*** she explained. ![Vanderpump Rules season 11 stars James Kennedy, Scheana Shay, Tom Sandoval, Lisa Vanderpump, Tom Schwartz, Ariana Madix, Lala Kent, and Katie Maloney pose for season 11 cast photo.](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_7636-scaled.jpg)The official Vanderpump Rules S11 cast photo Ariana Madix has spent most of [season 11 of Vanderpump Rules](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/03/20/ariana-madix-scheana-shays-hurt/) avoiding interacting with [Tom Sandoval](https://allabouttrh.com/category/vanderpump-rules/tom-sandoval/). In the few instances in which she has been forced to be in the same room as Sandoval it has not gone well. In fact, every instance has resulted in [Ariana screaming and getting angry](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/04/03/ariana-madix-tom-sandoval-dog/). The DWTS alum has made it clear she has zero interest in continuing to interact with her ex or associating with those who chose to remain friends with Sandoval i.e. [Lala Kent](https://allabouttrh.com/category/vanderpump-rules/lala-kent/), [Tom Schwartz](https://allabouttrh.com/category/vanderpump-rules/tom-schwartz/), and [Scheana Shay](https://allabouttrh.com/category/vanderpump-rules/sheana-shay/). Unless something major changes it's unlikely that Ariana Madix can continue to authentically be a part of the Pump Rules cast. The *Something About Her* co-owner joined the cast of *Vanderpump Rules* during season 2 in 2013 and has starred on the show ever since then. *[Vanderpump Rules](https://allabouttrh.com/category/vanderpump-rules/)* airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. ## Thoughts on this all?
