Ariana Madix promises to ‘fully tell my side of the story’ in new book after suffering a ‘painful’ split from Tom Sandoval: ‘This is my breakup album’
Ariana Madix will have her say in a new book to be published just in time for Christmas.
The Vanderpump Rules star, 38, who still shares the house she and ex-Tom Sandoval, 40, bought together, announced her latest project in a lengthy social media post on Friday.
“The past few months have been a whirlwind and while I feel in a better place now, it was painful to expose my personal devastation so publicly,” she began.
The reality star said she would be “forever grateful” to her fans and friends for continuing to support her through a highly publicized ordeal dubbed the “Scandoval.”
“But now it’s time for me to tell my side of the story in full,” she revealed, and it will unfold in “my new book, SINGLE AF COCKTAILS.”
Her side: Ariana Madix, 38, is out to set things right in a new recipe book/memoir, describing the publication as “my breakup album”; seen in May
Ariana said that “each cocktail” in the upcoming Single AF Cocktails “tells part of the story of what happened, in my own words.” The book will be published on December 5
The liquor master described the tome as “my breakup album.”
Penguin Random House described the various “tracks” as “Cleverly organized into relationship-inspired sections: Honeymoon Phase, Betrayal, Devastation, Resilience and Ad Astra.”
Ariana said that “bartending will always be my thing” and “every cocktail tells part of the story of what happened, in my own words.”
According to the publisher’s website, drink recipes include “Rumors, with dark creme de cassis floating on top of the drink before bleeding into the spirits below, lie’s way of making their way into your relationship.”
Another called We Ride at Dawn features, “a big, bold mezcal margarita that’s equal parts power and healing.”
The Dead End actress said she was inspired to tell her story, “because I heard from so many of you that you could put yourself in my shoes.”
In turn, she wanted to be able to help others with their own heartbreak.
“You have all given me hope in my darkest times and my wish is that if any of you have anything to do with this story, you will feel less alone.”
Grateful: Ariana wrote that she would be “forever grateful” to her fans and friends for continuing to support her by much-publicized “Scandoval” following the revelation that her former partner Tom Sandoval, 40, had cheated on her (Pictured in Los Angeles in June 2022)
Not returning: Rachel Leviss, 28, revealed she won’t be returning to Vanderpump Rules for season 11
Villain: In an interview with former reality star Bethenny Frankel on her Just B with Bethenny Frankel podcast, the former beauty queen said “the concept of me being the ultimate reality TV villain just blows my mind”
Ariana’s announcement received a lot of support from her friends.
Her new beau, Daniel Wai, wrote of the book’s cover, “If it looks like this when you throw a drink, throw ’em all on me!!!!”
Fellow VPR castmates Katie Maloney and Scheana Shay showed their support, saying, ‘Can’t wait! So proud of you! ❤️’ and ‘A TRUE QUEEN’ respectively.
The book will make its way to store shelves on December 5.

Rachel Leviss, 28, who has been largely out of sight since the infamous affair with Tom Sandoval, has said she will not be returning to VRP for season 11.

It seemed Rachel will soon be exploring other ways to tell her side of the story, revealing in the same interview that she’s “taking the steps to start her own podcast.”
