It’s been a month since Scandoval first broke and it looks like Tom Sandoval is finally attempting to be “more respectful” of Ariana Madix, according to their Vanderpump Rules costar Scheana Shay. Of course, “more respectful” isn’t saying much considering he cheated on Madix — his girlfriend of nine years — with her close friend Raquel Leviss. But I digress.

In the latest episode of Shay’s Scheananigans podcast, she revealed that Madix is doing “amazing” since their subsequent split, but noted that it’s been difficult for her to completely move on seeing as the two still share a home.

“Obviously, this has been very hard. She misses her partner — the person that she thought he was,” Shay said. “And they still share a house together. So she can’t fully move on while he’s still coming in and out of her house.”

As for how that dynamic works, Shay said Sandoval has “now agreed to communicate with a third party.” With the new arrangement, he lets either his assistant or one of Madix’s best friends know when he has to come into the house, whether it’s to stay in the guest room or grab his things.

“He’s trying to be more respectful of her, I think? But in the beginning, it was like, ‘This is my house! I pay half the mortgage, I’m gonna come and go as I please,'” Shay recalled. “And it’s just like, ‘Bro. You just blew up her world. The least you can do is give her some fucking space.’ It’s called a hotel!”

Elsewhere in the episode, Shay dished on why the Vanderpump Rules cast — who has been gunning for Sandoval and Leviss on social media — was so quick to confirm the scandal after it first broke in the news outlets.

“Ariana was like, ‘We’re not keeping this secret. Who am I protecting? No one,'” she said.

Vanderpump Rules airs on Wednesday nights at 9/8c on Bravo. Plus, you can stream new episodes the next day on Peacock.
