After season 11 of Vanderpump Rules ended earlier this year, fans have been itching to know whether the beloved Bravo reality series will return for season 12—and if Ariana Madix is coming back, too. She was asked about the fate of the show during DIRECTV's Gets Real event presented by People and Entertainment Weekly on September 26, to which she responded, "I don't know."
Ariana also revealed where she stands with her co-stars Lala Kent and Scheana Shay after they seemingly turned on her during the show's dramatic season 11 reunion. "I haven't been in touch with Lala at all," she told E! News. "Scheana and I talk every once in a while. I love to see her doing well and I think she's also in the same boat as me."

As for the future of VPR, Lisa Vanderpump said that the cast will take a break from the cameras for several months before getting back into it. "Vanderpump Rules is on hiatus just for a little bit," Lisa shared with E! News amid rumors that the show was canceled in May. "Let it breathe. I think we were going around in circles for a little bit."
While Ariana's involvement on the show hasn't been confirmed nor denied, it seems likely that she won't come back after everything went down the way it did at the season 11 reunion. "I just want you away from me," Ariana told her ex, Tom Sandoval, through tears. "I just want you gone and I don't want to be in a position where I'm being forced..."
"That is our job," Tom interrupted before Ariana added, "I'm not forced to do anything." 👀
