‘F**k me in this T-shirt’: Ariana Madix turns Tom Sandoval’s cruel sex life comment into merch as she continues to cash in on Scandoval heartbreak
Ariana Madix has found a way to turn her heartbreak into a business opportunity.
The Vanderpump Rules star, 37, received a cruel jab from cheating ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval, 39, during the last season 10 reunion episode on Wednesday, when he complained that she kept her t-shirt on during sex.
Everyone in the cast appeared shocked by the remark, with Ariana saying, ‘He is disgusting’ and co-star Lala Kent calling him out by saying, ‘You’re such a f*****g d**k!’
However, soon after the episode aired the star took to her Instagram Stories to promote a new piece of merch from her and co-star Katie Maloney’s online store, which was inspired by Sandoval’s comment.
The merch was a $34.99 grey cotton t-shirt with what appeared to be Ariana’s face and hands holding a grilled cheese sandwich, and a slogan that read, ‘F**k me in this t-shirt.’

The drama started when host Andy Cohen asked Tom if he had slept with anyone else since his affair with co-star Raquel Leviss, 28 — which caused the end of his longtime relationship with Madix — began.
He said there was nobody else — a statement Madix didn’t agree with, as she replied: ‘You know who he did sleep with after him and Raquel started sleeping together? Me.’
Tom — who previously complained about the former pair’s intimacy issues during an interview with Howie Mandel in April — replied, ‘Yeah, she kept her T-shirt on. It was really hot.’
Sandoval’s eyebrow raising remark caused his co-star James Kennedy to say, ‘f*****g disgusting.’
Even his close friend Tom Schwartz questioned the move, telling him, ‘Don’t say that. Don’t say that.’
‘I’m sorry,’ Sandoval replied.
Meanwhile boss Lisa Vanderpump also gave her opinion, warning Raquel that this was the type of behavior she should expect from Tom in the future.
‘This is your future, Raquel. He’s gonna talk to you like this, too.’
Outraged fans quickly took to social media after hearing Sandoval’s remark, with one person writing, ‘She should’ve put the t-shirt over your head – so she wouldn’t have to look at you.’

Elsewhere in the finale Tom’s mistress Raquel tearfully came clean about the Scandoval affair and admitted to more sex romps and her desire to be in a ‘throuple’ with Ariana on the third and final reunion episode on Bravo.
The reality star sat down for a final interview six days after the reunion in which Ariana blasted her over her betrayal.
‘I think it’s important to me to tell the truth,’ said Raquel as she admitted to lying during the reunion.
Raquel admitted to having sex in Cancun, Mexico, with Sandoval and said their sex romps ‘picked up speed’ after they wrapped filming.
She also admitted that she wanted to tell Ariana about their affair and that the idea of a ‘throuple’ didn’t seem ‘far-fetched.
Ariana earlier unleashed her full fury on her ex-boyfriend Sandoval and former friend Raquel during the reunion.
‘Diabolical, demented, sub-human,’ Ariana called Raquel after she admitted to being ‘super selfish’ for engaging in a months-long affair with Sandoval. ‘Selfish doesn’t cover it.’
‘I can’t think of two worst people, I can’t,’ Ariana said while wiping away tears as she talked about the betrayal by her longtime boyfriend and close friend.
Raquel also told the producer that Sandoval asked her not to disclose certain information.
‘I feel like Tom is, like, you know, my one person that I do have. And so, if I just, like, went and betrayed him, then I’d really have nobody,’ Raquel said.
She started crying as she revealed they agreed to get their story straight.

‘The reason why Tom wanted to lie about it is because it’s a really bad look to hook up with someone’s boyfriend in their own house. When they’ve gone out of town, especially for, like, a funeral, of all things,’ Raquel said sobbing.
She was mentioning the time when Ariana was out of town to attend the funeral of her beloved grandmother Bonnie.
‘This has f***ing killed my soul. Like, I am so sick of lying. I hate it. I hate being deceitful. It’s horrible,’ Raquel said while crying hard.
It was recently revealed that contract negotiations for the cast of Vanderpump Rules have been paused amid the aftermath of Scandoval.
