00:00 Some of the things that were said made me really sad,
00:02 made me angry.
00:04 With Rachel, I feel like she's still going along
00:08 with some things that were told to her
00:11 over the last year or so.
00:14 - Arianna Maddox weighs in
00:16 on that Rachel Levis interview.
00:18 - My nature is very kind and forgiving
00:21 and understanding of other people.
00:23 So the concept of me being the ultimate reality TV villain
00:28 just blows my mind.
00:31 This year I kind of did a deep dive
00:33 and really opened myself up.
00:36 The two of them, they didn't care about me.
00:38 Every "I love you" was a fake.
00:41 Every time I thought we were all joking around,
00:43 having fun, it was a fake.
00:44 It was like a inside joke between the two of them.
00:47 - The 38-year-old stops by "Vanderpump Rules"
00:49 co-star Sheena Shay's podcast, "Shenanigans,"
00:52 slamming Bethany Frankel for her three-part sit-down.
00:55 - It feels like that environment that you were in
00:58 celebrates affairs and scandal.
01:01 - The fact that she said you were no more
01:05 than an acquaintance, an alliance, a coworker.
01:09 - That was very hurtful.
01:10 - That she was using you to get closer to Tom.
01:14 - 'Cause I wasn't using her for (beep)
01:16 I just thought that we were friends.
01:17 But then Bethany is who I feel like
01:22 should have known better
01:24 and who actually, I think, upset me more
01:28 in the things that were said.
01:30 - So she had an affair.
01:31 She's not the first person in the world
01:32 that's ever had an affair.
01:34 I didn't think it was that big of a deal,
01:35 but of course the media gods came through
01:37 and were marketing it like it was the frickin' election.
01:40 - Bethany completely exploited that girl yet again.
01:44 - Yep, La La Ket spoke out too,
01:46 but haters didn't stop the "Real Housewives" alum
01:48 from doubling down on Wednesday.
01:51 Even, I guess, as recently as whatever podcast
01:55 she did after the fact,
01:57 she said, "Oh, Ariana's forgiven him."
02:01 I'm like, "Why are you speaking for me?
02:03 First of all, I don't know you."
02:05 - She's gotten a lot of hate in the world
02:08 and I'm taking on a lot of that hate now.
02:11 And I'm proud of myself for not caring really that much.
02:16 - She also said she hadn't even watched the show before
02:20 until all of this and then what, she watched the reunion.
02:24 Yeah, and Sheena's complaint echoes
02:25 the backlash Howie Mandel faced
02:27 following his infamous chat with Tom Sandoval.
02:30 - I'm Sheena.
02:31 - Sheena?
02:33 Don't worry about it.
02:34 - Didn't you have the first interview
02:34 with Tom Sandoval post-Sandoval?
02:37 And then Bethany Frankel interviewed Rachel.
02:39 - Right, and they called it a little bit of Howie Mandel.
02:42 And I'm having, Bethany Frankel,
02:43 I just, I'm putting a call out, I want her on.
02:46 You know, I definitely deserve the hate.
02:49 - That interview recorded in the days leading up
02:51 to the explosive pump reunion.
02:54 - This isn't who I wanna be.
02:55 I don't wanna be a person that hurts other people.
02:58 - I don't think you can just shut the door on somebody.
03:00 I think we're all guilty of some things, maybe not that.
03:04 - It's not that easy.
03:05 - Then don't be a (beep) coward.
03:07 - Now Bravo cameras back up and rolling
03:10 for season 11 without Rachel.
03:12 - Would you ever go back to reality television?
03:15 Oh, hell no.
03:17 I can't do that to myself.
03:20 And I wanna take a beating.
03:21 - Meanwhile, Tom sports a bloody nose
03:24 in the trailer for Special Forces,
03:25 premiering next month on Fox.
03:27 - Why are you here?
03:28 - The whole country's pissed off at me.
03:30 - I had an affair.
03:31 - I just can't think of two worse people, I can't.
03:35 - How are you prioritizing what to do?
03:36 I think everybody and everything is coming your way.
03:39 - I am in a position right now
03:41 where I just want to do everything.
03:44 And I really am enjoying myself.
