Vanderpump Rules stars Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney have been sued over a business venture connected to their sandwich shop, Something About Her.
TMZ reports that Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney are accused of “reneging on a business agreement” in a new lawsuit.
Penny Davidi Borsuk, who filed the lawsuit against the Vanderpump Rules stars, alleges that Ariana and Katie “failed to uphold their end of the agreement when she took on the role of COO/Director of Culinary” at their West Hollywood sandwich shop.
According to Penny, back in June 2023, she was promised a 10% stake in Something About Her if she helped develop and operate the sandwich shop.
She claims that because of this, she performed “substantial work,” including filing trademarks for the company to bring Ariana and Katie’s dream sandwich shop to life.
Bravo viewers may recognize Penny, a good friend of Lisa Vanderpump, as she appeared at the many sandwich tastings on Vanderpump Rules. Penny alleges that she was supposed to be paid $7,500 a month until January when her rate was set to increase to $10k a month.
However, she says that Ariana and Katie have since “denied the existence” of their partnership, but she claims to have plenty of evidence to back up her allegations.
Penny wants a judge to “uphold the terms of the agreement and ensure that she’s properly paid for the work she did.”
Something About Her officially opened its doors on May 22.
