I think people forget that no matter how well Ariana is doing, she's still a person and the other two people in this situation continue to lie and torment her to this day. Their goal is to tarnish her name instead of being truely remorseful. I love the way she has carried herself during this breakup, her strength is an inspiration to a lot of women

I love how she explained the situation with their home. As a lawyer, I am happy she found good counsel who advised her not to leave the house. A lot of these fools who clearly have no understanding of the law don’t get that if she leaves and let’s him have full possession and control of the home, she could lose possession of it and be screwed financially

40:10 - "No one cared, the two of them didn't care about me. They didn't care that Charlotte Died, didn't care my Grandma died.. every I love you was a fake... every time I thought we were all joking around and having fun it was fake - it was an inside joke between the two of them, I was a joke" Heartbreaking. I can relate to this. Thank you Scheana, you both are a genuine, beautiful, pair of actual BEST FRIENDS and the viewers know the truth! Love from Ireland xx

It's like some people would prefer it if Ariana sat in her room and cried and dwelled in self pity, but because she's not, and is living her life, doing the best she can, people are mad. Don't forget Ariana and Tom were discussing fertilising their eggs, hardly something you do when there's no future for the two of them. Ratchet is trying to change the facts so she doesn't look like what she is. She slept with her friends long term partner! The very day after they did it, she turns up with flowers for Ariana! She's a snake and a horrible person. She can fool herself as much as wants but it doesn't change the fact she lied to her friends and betrayed someone who cheered her on. Plus Scheana had her as a bridesmaid, let her use her apartment. These aren't things you do for people who are not friends. I don't think ratchet knows true friendships and has always thought it was competition with woman and why didn't Bethany ask her why she slept in Arianas bed and had sex with her partner while Ariana was at a funeral? Rachel asked Ariana about their relationship and she told her it was great and she loved him so much. Rachel heard what was said at the Réunion while sitting in the bus. She knew Tom had played her for a fool. She learnt nothing in her 3 month stay and has come back as a worse liar than she was before. The sooner we see the back of Rachel the better. At nearly 30 years old, she has no redeeming features or character. She's just one of those people you can't help. She's a user, selfish, never paid for anything and blames everyone but herself. A sad excuse for a woman.

First, shout out to Scheana for conducting a well thought out interview with notes and talking points that weren’t all over the place, unlike Bethany’s interview with Rachel. Well done, Scheana! Ariana as always carried herself with grace and class. It broke my heart to hear her say they didn’t care about her 😢 Anyone who says she was “too harsh” is fooling themselves into thinking they would act any differently. I hope Ariana can continue to heal peacefully, as she deserves and I absolutely can’t wait to see her shine on DWTS! Much love to Scheana and Ariana ❤❤

No one wants to think of a break up as a blessing in disguise, it is so difficult but I think this has been such a blessing for Ariana. Her career is taking off, she is glowing like never before and she will thrive in her success. #TeamAriana ❤️

Ariana is so classy. She responds to everything with such truth and honesty. She's so composed and articulate. She responds to everything the way a person with class would... Factual, thoughtful and without the negativite emotion. You can see this has made her and even better person and she's chosen to use it as a way to grow and not be bitter and miserable. We stan a queen❤❤❤❤

The maturity and grace from Ariana is so admirable.

Honestly shout out to Scheana … I started listening to her podcast when she started it then kinda fell off but started again after Scandoal. She has grown and improved so much. Like she’s always personable and fun to listen to but it’s like a confidence thing. Like she seems more comfortable and confident. It’s amazing to watch!!

"They didn't care about what this would do to me" sums it up perfectly. This whole thing would be a gut punch to anyone and i hate when people downplay it

Ariana is now FREE from that draining energy and free to be her best self now!! It is beautiful to see!! Best of luck to her soaring forward!! 🙏🏻😘💞🌹

I just love Ariana. You can see from everything coming her way that Karma loves her too! She is the kind of girl I raised my daughters to be. The rules of friendship are - Never be a yes friend, always keep it real and never let a guy define who you are.

I love the way Ariana speaks…she’s very concise & clear.

To anyone who lives with extreme anxiety, please don't see this as a flaw because its an illness & you need to take care of yourself & be kind to yourself on those days that you're struggling to manage to function. I have severe anxiety amongst other mental health issues & as someone who's old enough to be your aunt or to anyone that reads this, please take care of your mental health & be proud to be a survivor.

as someone who just found out their two year relationship was pretty much a lie and whos boyfriend was cheating w their best friend, seeing ariana thriving makes me have hope that i can be happy after this. and knowing im not alone

I like how well Ariana explained why she’s staying in their house for the time being, despite not owing ANYONE an explanation. I understand why people are curious though and if there was some confusion before, her explanation should have very well cleared that up. I think her reasons are very valid and she is absolutely making the best choice for her. If I were in her position, I would do the same thing. She’s clearly learned from financial mistakes in her past and she’s not letting the optics of her current living arrangement force her to make any task decisions. Good on her!!

I loved this so much. Scheana, you did a wonderful job interviewing Ariana. Thank you for a peek into your friendship outside of VPR!

I love Ariana. She’s been always authentic and interesting on the show. I am excited to see her shine on the new season.

Scheana is really becoming a fantastic podcaster! Go girl, impressive!

Ariana hit every note! 🩷 And she should be so proud of herself. If you’ve experienced this kinda betrayal or know someone who has, you know just how hard it is to live through this. She’s grown so much and has such sound perspective. We love to see it!!! 💫

The fact that she wished Rachel the best after everything… I love Ariana.

After listening to this I'm really sorry I judged Arianna, she was so hurt. I hope she will be able to recover, she deserves the best people in her life, and I'm sure she will let only the best ppl in.

Ariana is just so impressive. Classy, honest and vulnerable. Poster child for how to move through this situation. You go girl!

She's moved forward but the pain is still there. The part of them not caring 🥺🥺 ...

The grace Ariana gives Tom is a kindness I could not bring myself to extend.

Rachel did herself NO favours doing that interview with Bethany. I listened to all three. She took very little responsibility for her actions. Her minimising your friendships with her minimised your rights to feeling hurt and betrayed. Bethany did not help by making Rachel out to be a victim of production and abuse. She is going to find it MUCH harder to come back now. Though even I got tired of James and Lala having an endless go at her at the reunion, you had every right to what you said to her. We are all happy to see you both doing better.

What a great interview Scheana! 👏🏻 Despite all Ariana has been through and continues to experience, she STILL carries herself with so much dignity and ultimate Grace. What an absolute Angel 💖

Scheana this is how an interview should be done, classy and informative ❤

Love Ariana!!!! it’s really interesting how when everybody else involved does it interview they have to pull and create stories and talk in circles, but Ariana is very clear because what has happened to her is very real and when you’re not lying or deflecting or bullshitting people you just talk straight of bravo!!! Great interview

I just have to say, you both are two classy women!! I love Bethenny but I am so disappointed she did that interview. Andy told Lisa at the end of the reunion, it's going to take time!! It's very true. My husband of 23 years and we were together since we were 15 years old, total time together was almost 30 years and he cheated on me!!!!! I have been divorced now 14 years, and I can still cry from the pain from that time!! Ariana, the pain never goes away, but it gets better. Your beautiful, smart, loving, and a great person!!! Enjoy your life!! He lost the best thing that ever happened to him, and he will suffer a long time because of it!! Love you girls, can't wait for season 11!! Good luck with Dancing with the Stars!! Bring home the gold!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Gosh Ariana is awesome. Such a lovely genuine person. Tom and Rachel just simply didn’t deserve her. I hope her film is super successful, she wins Dancing with the Stars and the Sandwich shop is always busy and successful, and mostly that her relationship with Dan heals her heart.

Great podcast! Ariana is so forthcoming and naturally a "real" woman! love that Ariana doesn't have to think about her answers, it just flows which shows she is being honest and herself, mature, grown and she knows who she is!!

Great interview! Ariana is such an inspiration and you can see that Scheana was trying to hold her tears to give Ariana her moment to explain her feelings, great job 👏🏻 Beth should take notes!!

I’m so proud of Ariana !! She is so freaking intelligent and beautiful . I’ve always just loved her but now I have so much respect for her. You go girl ❤

Im loving the female power between these two!! True friends on and off screen and a true inspiration.❤❤❤❤❤❤

The interview we ALL NEEEEDED!!!!

Scheana you did a great job interviewing, allowing Arianna to speak her truth x

I’ve been with my partner for 12 years coming up on the 23rd. We’re not married and don’t really have any want to be. It wouldn’t change the status of our relationship or the meaning of it to us. We have been committed to each other, have a 5 yo daughter, and do all of the things a husband/wife would do. I hate that they were attacking the validity of their relationship to justify the hurt they caused Ariana. I’m so glad she has come out on top. ❤️

Ariana has always been quick to trust and defend bc she’s so honest & loyal herself. Never change that about yourself! ❤

How can anyone not love Ariana. She’s so genuine! She’s sweet, smart and of sound mind.. so rare on reality tv.

Thank you Ariana for opening up to us and telling us your feelings & your truth. Hearing your side through a conversation w/Scheana was really cool. 💗 Scheana you did an amazing job just letting Ariana speak. I’m sure you had things you wanted to say too but you were so professional all while being a great support & friend! You ladies are the best 💗

I’m so glad Ariana is getting this opportunity to do her own book, and that it’s going to do soo well! It’s such a good idea to do drink recipes with stories AND photography. It reminds me of the movie The Waitress, how she comes up with pie recipes for things she’s going through. Ariana is so endearing and powerful at the same time.

Shout out to Scheana for her long term unconditional support for Ariana 💘

I was glad to hear from Ariana. I wanted to see, how she was really doing, and Scheana was the only one, who could have done her justice, in this type of forum. You can tell, the questions and answers come straight from the heart, and that there is no underlying agenda. There are no justifications or explanations to be had, like in the Bethenny interview. I sincerely hope, Ariana and Scheana continue to thrive, in all their endeavors. Life is short and sometimes hard but there can always be better things ahead, if you let them or make them happen.

What baffles me is that Raquel went away & came back & managed to blame everyone else in the situation and tried to play victim and basically is not sorry for what she did. The only two people to blame is Her & Tom. Raquel just keeps showing she’s fake as fark.

this was one of the best episodes! kudos to Scheana for doing a great job as the host and to Ariana for being real - love you both!

This is the difference when the interviewer has a much better understanding of what happened.... Schaena asked relevant open ended questions that allowed Arianna to have her say in her own words, did not twist anything and did not have her own agenda. Bethany had no clue what has gone on, had only Rachel's version of things and completely lead Rachel into being a victim of production, of people abusing her, of others benefitting financially off her. Bethany also had her own agenda regarding the reality reckoning and using Rachel as an example of that. That interview did not go well and I doubt people will have a better impression of Rachel after it.

Outstanding episode. You both did great.Bethenny has behaved shamefully. It's usually good if you look at all sides of an issue before publicly attempted to humiliate the true victim of a mess. Ariana, by far the best revenge is to move forward and thrive as you are doing. I'm so proud of you.

Ariana I went through something similar but sadly worse...and it took me 2 years to heal and stop crying, your a shining star⭐ much love and respect, I wish you good luck in your business and with DWTS, you go girl🎉 I wish you only love , joy, and peace in your future and a home without the worm in it ❤❤❤

I hope ariana understands that sane, normal minded forward-thinking people hear her and can somehow relate to the pain, whether we were the recipients of the pain or the petson that inflected the pain. We hear you. Bethenny is not an interviewer or a journalist. Opportunists definitely, but nothing other than that. It's frightening but true. Keep your head up, sis.

I've NEVER understood the blowback on Ariana after the reunion saying she was "too harsh" ??? When you commit that massive of a betrayal, you dont get to dictate how people emotionally respond. Alexa, play "Mad Woman" by Taylor Swift. "The reaction to the offense somehow becomes the offense itself"

Ariana is by far one of the most selfless on the show! Shes truly a beautiful soul! My heart breaks that she was hurt so badly no one deserves this especially her. Sending hugs to both of you and positive thoughts!!!

I freaking love Ariana. She's so level-headed, honest, and kind.

I love Ariana she has been her genuine authentic self from day dot, and I am so happy she is out of a toxic relationship and thriving. I dont understand anyone turning on her. She has done nothing but be a queeeeen!

Now this is how you have an interview. The grace and strength Arianna has is so impressive. It’s really easy for people to pick apart things you say in the heat of the moment, but I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t have reacted the way she did in the reunion. I was honestly impressed at her strength in both interviews. I don’t really want to spend much time on Bethany and Rachel. I think anyone who is a good and level headed person can see exactly what they’re doing/who they are and why they’re doing it. But again, they’re more than free to do whatever they want with their lives. However, from my own personal experience, living your life authentically and truthfully, is the way to go. If not, your “tree” might look good on the outside but your fruit will most likely be rotten and eventually come crumbling down. I think that’s already happening to Rachel…. Hopefully one day she can be honest with herself and be remorseful. Not just for the people she hurt, but ultimately for herself.

I think what Rachel cannot comprehend is that a lot of the hate for her out there is really compounded by her lack of remorse and utter inability to not see that she is NOT the victim and not to mention her lies that are easily disproven. How self-centered she is is mind blowing. She honestly thinks that the partner of the man she was cheating with has no right to say anything to her, it is just wild how her mind must work. While it is absolutely true that woman always get the blame - even when they were the one who was wronged, like the hate Ariana gets for staying in her own home and for taking on new business opportunities, a man would never get hate for that. But in Rachel's case, I don't think she is getting more hate because she is a woman, it is because she is utterly and unbelievably selfish. I don't know if she is just that stupid or that evil. Probably both.

I love these two strong women their friendship has always been real and it’s so nice that Ariana has been surrounded by good people like scheana and thank god she no longer is with Tom she was always too good for him

ariana taking every opportunity she can to make a tangible monetary commitment with this large amount of attention will never not completely astound me she is a GENIUS

I’m glad Ariana (even though she didn’t have to) explained that she’s not rich and she’s making the most responsible decisions for her money and protecting her livelihood. Everyone keeps saying how annoyed they’re with how many deals she’s getting but let her secure her future.

Arians is one of the most naturally beautiful ladies I've ever seen. Besides the kindness and being a good person. You have everything to look forward to! Blessings. I can't wait to see the shop

On a side note to Scheana... this was the best interview, the tone was pleasant and the way the conversation flowed was so natural sounding. I also love the way the convo flowed over to the advertisements or endorsements in a personable way adding real experience to the products endorsed. I felt like I was just getting advice from a friend or sister about a new product she just tried. I listened all the way through and for that you get an A++++ Great Job!!!! 100% ♥ U !!!!

Ariana, the grace you showed is something the other parties involved couldn’t show you and didn’t. Continue shining girlfriend! The best revenge is success and happiness while remaining your most authentic self.

Awww Ariana "they didn't care" I felt that 😢.... I've been there, you do feel like everything was a lie, nothing was real and like you were the biggest fool for not seeing it. But she's doing so good & she has such an amazing support system around her. 👏

Scheana , I have been waiting for this BFF interview since the betrayal. You are the perfect person for this update. I am so happy Ariana is doing good!! To be honest, I only gave Sandoval a pass all these years because he was with her, but it appears the universe has freed us from all the darkness and I can now see the amazing glow in Ariana!❤️. Ariana is such a class act and is so genuine in her energy. I am so happy She is being blessed with abundance from the universe and all the jealous people and haters can just navigate over to Bethenny”s podcast because that’s where those people belong.. I am so happy Ariana knows that most of the world had her back and although she also deals with mental wellness, and has been very upfront about it, I’m happy to hear, that she wishes Rachel wellness and I also wish Rachel continued well-being and hopefully she will go back to the wellness center for more treatment as it’s clear she needs it. The universe will deal with Sandoval, as nobody is excused for what we do in the physical, and we either are held accountable in the physical or spiritual, but we will all have accountability for our actions, one way or another. Ariana, I will always have your back and I can’t wait to visit the sandwich shop, pictures online are amazing❤❤❤ Dang it, we needed a part two, because I wanted to hear so much more from her😊

I think Ariana needs to know how much strength she really has, to go through those types of losses and come out the other side is incredible within itself. Rachel I think still needs a lot of therapy and some acknowledgement of the mistakes, and not to shift the narrative of her and Ariana not being that close friends to justify the affair. Bethenny's been in this game for a long time she knows what she's doing $$$. Thank you Scheana & Ariana for a great interview.

Thank you for caring for your pets Ariana! People who care about pets are actually very compassionate and empathetic people.

Great interview. Glad Ariana is doing well. She has always been my favourite. 😊

The idea that Rachel was making all these claims and trying to justify what she and Tom did, it’s just gross. So after all this time, no remorse, no growth? Two awful people. They’ll never change. What they did was wrong. No excuses! Very disappointed in Bethenny too.

their friendship is so beautiful 🩷

I love the friendship between these two and the wide open honesty about all fhe real life struggles and things. Thanks for both being shining examples of strong women supporting each other, and overcoming the worst and making the best of it.❤

I had a semi-friend like Rachel in my younger years. She was the kind of woman that saw every other women as 'competition' and not 'friends'. She wants the attention of any man regardless of his attachments and regardless of how she even feels about him (Schwarts). Her self-esteem comes from the man actually choosing her. It's sad, but true. You can see how much she tried to destroy James' reationship and how she revelled in anything bad that happened to him. It's sociopathic and narcissistic.

Ariana is so graceful speaking about all of this❤

Take notes Bethenny - THIS is a great podcast with two incredible women sharing the truth. Nothing but love and light for Ariana and Sheana. 🤍✨️

Ariana, you're living the symptoms of the trauma from the relationship that was deceitful. Self doubt, anger, resentment etc are unfortunately what you're feeling because of the trauma. You're a survivor & you're both naturally beautiful young women ❤ from Australia

I appreciate Ariana’s candidness. I do have empathy for her. Wishing you Ariana good mental health day’s. You’re a phenomenal caring podcaster Scheana and you truly have found your sweet spot in podcasting. Thank you both for sharing where you are at instead of the internet of people telling us where you are at. Word of advice to anyone watching this interview, stay away from the internet telling you what people are experiencing. Instead listen to the people themselves first hand. Gossip is gossip. Be well Ariana and Scheana. 💖💖💖🌷

LOOOOVE this! Ariana is so well spoken. Definitely wish I could be friends with her 🤗😂 She has always seemed so real to me. So personable. So sweet. Her laugh gets me happy every time ❤ I wish nothing but the best for her!

Ariana, I just want you to know that it hits me right in the heart to hear you be so gracious at a time when you have been so traumatized. It takes a special & resilient person to really pull yourself up and out after something like this happens. I know that despite a lot of the great opportunities and the support you have you are still hurting and trying to process, in addition to now going forward and having that little thing in the back of your mind (that will probably always be there) that is going to question the motives of every new friendship. And of course as we work through our traumas we find ways to learn to trust again and how to keep that thought from taking over, but it’s still there. The whole Bethenny/Rachel thing (and I’ve always liked Bethennys take on things in the past), but this whole thing she has going on with the podcast - it gives me such an ick in my gut, it doesn’t feel right, there’s an agenda, & it really has changed my view of her and not for the better. All of us who have survived these types of traumas know how hard these things are to navigate & I just want you to know I see the work you’re putting in to ensure you are taking care of yourself mentally, emotionally, and alll the other things and you are still being a good human to people who probably don’t deserve it because that’s who you really are. The authenticity that both you and Scheana have at your core shines bright in this podcast! I hope you guys see this & really feel the love.

The thing Bethenny will never understand is VPR is nothing like the real housewives, because they were not casted together. They were all real friends way before the show even started and that is the difference and that is why they’re so unique.. Bethenny would never be able to comprehend something like this, because honestly, I don’t think she has any real friends. She’s very surface based, very much into money, and most importantly, she definitely needs attention as I really think she lacks something internally. Maybe Rachel can give her a recommendation on her mental wellness doctors, hopefully she can get some help that she definitely needs..

I wonder if Bethenny will listen to this and admit she was wrong. Rachel is manipulative, delusional, and dishonest. Loved this episode, you both are not only beautiful on the outside - but the inside too ❤

I give Ariana props for not going across that stage when she saw Raquel, and bust her up in her face! I've been to 12 weeks of Anger Management, so I've had trouble controlling my temper when I was young. Now I'm quick to walk away because I have a 16 year old son with autism to think about. He's my youngest. My other 2 are 30 & 19.

I’m so happy for Ariana🥰 She’s healing, making money and her future looks exciting✨

So happy that she isn’t staying quiet. She looks amazing ❤️

I love the friendship you guys have together! ❤

I really appreciate this interview. The class and grace of how you guys spoke about everything just shows the maturity and truth both of you have.Tom really used everyone for his own narrative.Anyhow great interview after seeing Tom on the Howie podcast I refuse to give Bethany any watch time for her interview with Rachal but this was informative and Ariana was smart to let them say what they had to say first and then respond.Refreshing to see how she is using this experience to grow and work on herself .With that being said i hated this interview wasnt longer i love watching you guys have eachothers back because both of you were absolutely used and your both such amazing strong women.😊

Looking at Ariana from 36:05 - 36:13, I can tell she's telling the truth. And that is sad. It really, really is. But we live, we learn, we muddle through, and we move on.

I love Ariana. The most chillest, and realest one on the show....period💯

Hands down - one of my favorite all time podasts!!! So glad you sat down with Ariana and set the record straight! Y'all are both awesome! And I can't wait to see where the future takes you Ariana! Scheana you're the best! Love you both!

It’s not just positivity it’s STRENGTH this woman is everything absolutely everything You’re chosen Ari STAY LIFTED

I’m SO excited Ariana has a book coming out! She’s such a smart grounded individual. Can’t wait to buy it.

I'm so proud of how Ari is making sure she makes all the right moves and not just move out of anger, bc most of us unfortunately do. Good job girl!!

Beautiful conversation! Well done 👑👑💖💖You’re both so intelligent and well spoken. I could listen to you forever!

I love Ariana. Like the strength that she has is so unbelievable. like you go girl and keep going strong. ❤❤❤ the fact that Rachel still wants to tarnish her character and who she is. That is just ridiculous and disgusting. I am so glad that Ariana is doing well. And that she is able to make light of this drama and that she can move forward with her life.

I listened to the podcast yesterday and LOVED it! Ariana despite STILL going through emotional stuff was articulate and refreshing and despite the Bethany podcast still showed grace toward Rachel and even some understanding of how this COULD have occurred despite her still trying to hurt and diminish her friendship with Ariana which is now apparent was only one sided. Good for her being the better person!

I love that Scheana actually listens to her guests and asks appropriate follow up questions. ❤

Scheana, I also have to give you kudos for an excellent interview with great questions! You are truly what a best friend should be! Your genuinely happy for Ariana and I’m not hearing what about me like I have heard from other present snd past cast members that are so annoying!!🙄. I love the relationship you both have and it comes across on this interview. I also wish the best for you and your family❤. Summer Moon is just the cutest and I always tune into your Vlogs to see all the fun adventures in her life. Blessings to both you and Ariana always and forever ❤️🙏🏽

First I want to say I admire/love your guy's friendship. Over the seasons and especially last season I've noticed how genuine your guy's relationship is and Scheana I have so much respect for you. You genuinely are a nice person. Ariana has been so admirable during this time. I relate to her so much. You two are special glad to hear from her

I have been waiting for this!! Ariana….happy for you! Happy for you & Katie!!

So proud of Ariana! This was a great interview and counterpoint to the Bethenny shenanigans. Ariana is so well spoken and thoughtful in telling her side. She expressed no anger or malice toward anyone, but very thoughtfully expressed her disdain for the wrongheaded Bethenny interview of Rachel and the many things that were wrong with it. Ariana is very smart to think about her future, and to protect her assets by surrounding herself with a team to guide her. She will emerge better from this on all fronts. Thanks to Scheana for providing Ariana an opportunity to clear up mistruths and to share her current perspective on her situation. Keep winning, Ariana!

I love Ariana ❤ she so awesome And so well spoken and she handles all this messy crap that happened to her so classy, best wishes to you, you deserve it.

40:08 - 41:07 hearing Ariana say this.... I've been there, too. The exact same words I have said over and over for years. I felt like a joke for so long and it was a cruel betrayal of trust. I'm sorry they made you feel this way and I'm glad they had to face their actions. Sending so much support.
