Stassi Schroeder and other Bravolebrities are offering support to Ariana Madix after learning her longtime boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, allegedly cheated on her with Raquel Leviss.

After Katie Maloney shared a photo of herself and Ariana and told her friend, “You are going to thrive like you were always meant to,” the Vanderpump Rules alum, along with Kristen Doute and members of the Summer House cast weighed in.

“100%,” Stassi agreed as Kristen posted a series of red heart emojis, via Comments by Bravo on Instagram.

“Ugh I love you both so very much,” Amanda Batula wrote.

“Queens only,” added Danielle Olivera.

Meanwhile, after encouraging those attending Sandoval’s show on Friday night to chant “Ar-i-a-na” on her Instagram Story, Lala reacted to the alleged strategy of Raquel’s PR team, which was reported by Deux Moi. According to the report, the plan is to make Raquel appear like a victim who was manipulated.

“The strategy is to pretty much lean in to like, save your image,” Lala explained. “We’ve gotta lean back into the fact that you’re done. Alright? You’re just done. You’re the victim? Lean in on that now that it’s convenient? For so long, I’ve been saying that she ain’t got a lot upstairs. And everyone’s like, ‘She’s so sweet.’ And she sits there, ‘I’m not dumb, Lala. I went to college.’ But now that all hell has broken loose and she’s lit herself on fire, she wants to lean in on ‘I’m dumb. Everyone else filled my head. I’m the victim.’ It’s not gonna work. It is not going to work.”

Then, in another video, Lala continued on, saying she wants a cut of whatever Raquel is paying her PR team amid the Pump Rules cheating scandal because she “created” the image they’re trying to get back to.

“The ‘you’re just oblivious to life’ — the exact image that her crisis PR team is trying to get her back to is the image I created for her,” she stated. “Where’s my cut? I’m sending you an invoice, Raquel.”

In photos shared by Page Six on Sunday, Ariana was seen outside of her and Sandoval’s $2 million mansion in Los Angeles, where she flipped the bird to waiting photographers after arriving home from McDonald’s.

Following the sharing of the photos, the man with Ariana, Simon Curtis, took to his Twitter page to shame Page Six’s “abusive” photographer, who he said “cursed and taunted” at Ariana.

“Sitting next to Ariana on her couch atm and she’s asking me to let you know that your photographer cursed and taunted her, in her own driveway, to get this pic,” he tweeted. “I was there. That’s the back of my head in this photo. It was traumatic and disgustingly abusive.”
