Ariana Madix has revealed she was ‘deprived’ of intimacy during her relationship with ex Tom Sandoval – and suggested that he treated her like nothing more than a sex toy in the bedroom.
In a candid new interview with Glamour, the 37-year-old Vanderpump Rules star at the center of the ‘Scandoval’ controversy said she felt like she was a person who craved ‘intimacy outside of just penetrative sex.’
‘And that was something that I was deprived of for so long. As women, we might bring something up a bunch of times and then we just stop,’ she explained.

Ariana also slammed men who acted like they were ‘entitled’ to a woman’s body and to sex because of their relationship.
‘I am not your [sex toy]. I spelled out what I needed, but hello. It’s a two-person situation,’ she added.
In the latest season 10 reunion episode on Wednesday, Sandoval shocked his co-stars and fans with a ‘disgusting’ remark about his sex life with Ariana.
The drama started when host Andy Cohen asked the 40-year-old reality TV star if he had slept with anyone else since his affair with co-star Raquel Leviss, 28 — which caused the end of his longtime relationship with Ariana — began.
He said there was nobody else — a statement Ariana didn’t agree with, as she replied: ‘You know who he did sleep with after him and Raquel started sleeping together? Me.’
Sandoval — who previously complained about the pair’s intimacy issues during an interview with Howie Mandel in April — replied: ‘Yeah, she kept her T-shirt on. It was really hot.’
Everyone appeared shocked by the remark, with Ariana replying, ‘He is disgusting.’
However she later took to her Instagram to make fun of the situation as she shared a photo of a tee with the slogan ‘f*** me in this T-shirt.’
‘I am not your [sex toy]. I spelled out what I needed, but hello. It’s a two-person situation,’ she added. The couple are pictured in 2021A tearful Raquel during part three of the Vanderpump Rules reunion episode, which aired on Wednesday

Lala Kent called him out by saying, ‘You’re such a f***ing d***!’
Even his close friend Tom Schwartz questioned the move, telling him, ‘Don’t say that. Don’t say that.’
‘I’m sorry,’ Sandoval replied.
Meanwhile boss Lisa Vanderpump also gave her opinion, warning Raquel that this was the type of behavior she should expect from Sandoval in the future.
‘This is your future, Raquel. He’s gonna talk to you like this, too,’ Lisa said.
Outraged fans quickly took to social media after hearing Sandoval’s remark, with one person writing, ‘She should’ve put the t-shirt over your head – so she wouldn’t have to look at you.’
‘I cannot believe Tom just f***ing said that what a disgusting pig,’ another added.
Previously the 40-year-old described his relationship with Ariana as ‘more of a best friend/family/sometimes roommates situation’ on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast.
The Missouri native said their relationship overall was ‘just lacking intimacy’ and ‘connection.’
He felt that they were remaining together to ‘keep the optics up that [they] were solid’ for their reality show and other business endeavors.
‘We did have each other’s backs, for sure, and that was nice. There was a safety to it and a stability,’ he said of Madix.
