Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix says she doesn't 'have rich parents' when discussing numerous branding deals she's made in wake of Scandoval publicity ... amid bombshell Raquel Leviss lawsuit


The Melbourne , Florida native spoke with the Los Angeles Times Thursday about her burgeoning career, and the many opportunities she's received.

Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix says she hasn't been hesitant to monetize the publicity she's received in the past year since the Scandoval fiasco began, as she's striving for financial independence in the fickle world of show business. Lost in the mix was that Leviss was a victim of the predatory and dishonest behavior of an older man, who recorded sexually explicit videos of her without her knowledge or consent, which were then distributed, disseminated, and discussed publicly by a scorned woman seeking vengeance, catalyzing the scandal. The suit also blasts Bravo for its handling of the scandal, stating the network 'deliberately sacrificed Leviss for the sake of its commercial interests from its refusal to allow her the opportunity to tell her side of the story and defend herself, which she repeatedly begged for permission to do.'
