Tom Sandoval And Ariana Madix Speak Of Stassi Schroeder’s ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Exit

Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix chatted about the fourth season of Vanderpump Rules during a recent interview with Perez Hilton. According to a May 26 report by Reality Tea, Sandoval and Madix recently began filming on the Bravo series — without Stassi Schroeder.

Although Tom Sandoval says he “doesn’t even know” what the season will hold, he confirmed he and Madix “plan on having a lot of fun this summer.”

“We’re just getting into things.”

Tom Sandoval and the cast of Vanderpump Rules began production last week in Los Angeles, and while Stassi Schroeder spoke out at the time claiming she wasn’t fired from the show, Sandoval and Madix hinted otherwise.

“I don’t know… I guess she walked off into the sunset,” said Sandoval, not wanting to disclose too much insider information.

Added Madix, “Sort of…with a boot in her a–!”

Tom Sandoval continued on, explaining he and Madix have no communication with Schroeder whatsoever.

“She’s burned a few bridges. Whatever – best of luck to her, I hope she’s happy – that’s all I can say, really.”

As the Inquisitr previously reported, Tom Sandoval’s former co-stars spoke out about her alleged firing during a taping of her Podcast, Straight Up With Stassi, last week. During the show, Schroeder shot down recent reports, which claimed she was fired for having a bad attitude — and for referring to her boss, Lisa Vanderpump, as an “old lady.”

“The decision to leave the show was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make, and it’s been something that I have deliberated over for two entire years now. I was so proud of myself when I actually came to a point in my life where I felt confident enough, not just as a woman, but as a person, to be able to say that I’m going to walk away from a lot of financial security. I’m going to walk away from fame. I’m going to walk away from opportunities to do other things, all because I don’t want to be in a situation that doesn’t make me happy.”

Tom Sandoval, along with Schroeder, was a part of the season 1 cast, which also included Kristen Doute, Katie Maloney, Jax Taylor, and Scheana Marie, all of whom are returning for season 4. However, when it comes to his girlfriend Madix, her role on the show is unclear.

While Tom Sandoval and the rest of the cast attended the NBC Upfront earlier this month, Madix was not on the red carpet.
