Ariana Madix Calls The Shots In Her ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Contract

Vanderpump Rules is rumored to be coming back for a final season. In that case, it’s time for cast members to reveal whether or not they want to be a part of it. An insider has already weighed in on Ariana Madix’s potential decision, and apparently, she’s got some demands. Read on to find out what they are.

Ariana Madix’s Vanderpump Rules Season 12 Contract

Bravo superfan and author Thea de Sousa just revealed that according to her insider knowledge, Ariana wants to make a return for the proposed final season of VPR.

However, her comeback might not be as easy as signing her name on a dotted line. Sousa recollected that for Season 11, Madix had some requirements in her filming agreement. Specifically, she wanted to refrain from filming with ex, Tom Sandoval, as much as humanly possible.

Thea speculated that the reality TV star might issue those same parameters for her Season 12 contract. There’s also the discussion of how much she would get paid.

Sousa says that Ariana was paid $600,000 for the previous season, and implies that she would most likely bargain for a higher fee this time around.

Madix hasn’t publicly addressed Thea’s comments just yet.

Madix Stays Booked & Busy

Just because Vanderpump Rules hasn’t been filming for a while, that doesn’t mean Ariana has been sitting around doing nothing. The reality TV star has kept herself busy ever since Season 11 wrapped.

For starters, she made her Broadway debut with a leading role in Chicago. She went on to return to reality TV, not as a traditional member, but as a host.

Madix was the presenter of Love Island USA Season 6. The dating competition has already been renewed, and it’s assumed that Ariana will return.

Not to mention, she was a contestant in Season 32 of Dancing With The Stars, and, she even took home third place.

Needless to say, whether Bravo agrees to her demands or not, Ariana has found plenty of other ways to make money, and gain an even bigger fanbase.

Vanderpump Rules: Is It Time To Call It Quits?

Speaking of fanbases, while Ariana seems keen on making a return to VPR, fans have a completely different take on the matter. Specifically, most think that because of her success in her other ventures, she should walk away from Vanderpump Rules.

In a Reddit thread, fans shared their view that Madix should take a backseat from the series and let the rest of the cast keep it going. Here are a few of the comments:

• “I love Ariana but I think she should move on.”
• “She’s living her best life. She doesn’t need the show.”
• “It’s time to retire, girl.”
