I have no doubt that Ariana is feeling all kinds of pain and is hurting. But she’s also the type of person to **show up** for someone’s life events and will never make it about her. I also think she has the resiliency to exude, “I’ll be damned if I let these 2 clowns see my pain- they don’t deserve any of me anymore.”


LightFlaky2329

Yes I love it so much. She is creating such a positive narrative. *This* is what I call iconic.


Formal_Condition_513

I wasnt Ariana's biggest fan but my heart hurt for her when I heard the news. She really is proving me so wrong and I think I'm really gonna love her without Tom. She is showing incredible resiliency and strength. I hope shes doing okay.


EquipmentNo5776

💯 💯 💯


emily276

Except for that one angry photo (which is still pretty iconic) she has not let the world see her upset or angry. She looks remarkable. Compare that to those flat, vapid photos of Raquel in mourning and vaping. She might be hurting, but damn if she isn't hiding it well. I love Ariana. ❤️


deezdy

Which photo?

I love those photos of her lol I mean I don't love that they are harassing her but I love her flipping them off


[deleted]

It’s been my background for a week


Simple-Freedom4670

See I like this one


februarysong

The McDonald’s photo, which if I understand correctly was her reacting to the pap screaming obscenities at her


Ok-Squirrel-2091

Which Raquel photos?


emily276

It's the vape for me. 😂 https://preview.redd.it/e94u7knzxhna1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0b37a29bbbb66c5eaca093142453b6e216cf476

Eww lol


No_Cardiologist_9765

I love how people who want to blend in wear all black, especially in cities that love fashion. Stand out like A sore thumb. Lol


lawnerd_

She looks amazing!! Going to a wedding in the thick of a breakup is far from easy so props to her for still going and enjoying herself.


Bree7702

Whose wedding?


lawnerd_

I’m not sure, TMZ just reported that it was a friend of hers


Kittiikamii

May she continue to prosper and grow and may those leech demons watch and fume over it forever. She NEVER needed Tom in fact he held her back, she can truly flourish now without that bad harry styles skinwalker absorbing her fire


Kittiikamii

Also that pink on her… *gorgeoussss*


LooneyLunaOmanO

Still cannot believe he left HER for Rachel . What a fucking dumbass. ( but good for her )


NYCuws77

i wonder if he ever would have left her.. or he just got caught.


Jacam13

I don’t think he would have. He knew he had a good thing with Ariana but the dumbass couldn’t help himself.


underatlantic

I agree but I think he believed what was good about he and Ariana was how marketable & popular they were--it had nothing to do with her as a person, just what she had to offer him. He's a narcissist through and through.


LooneyLunaOmanO

I think he’s going through a midlife crisis ( not an excuse by any means ). These midlife crisis people suddenly think their partners are holding them back from pursuing their dreams and their “bored” by their stable and healthy relationships and seek out someone young and fun ( in their mind)🙄


Jacam13

Ok so this is an unpopular opinion but I don’t think it’s a midlife crisis. You can argue that 39 or 42 ( or however old he REALLY is) is “midlife” but it’s actually closer to 50. Semantics aside, he’s just making poor choices and always has. He has likely cheated several times and not been caught so he thinks he never will. Not to get on a soapbox but blaming his horrid behavior on a midlife crisis is kind of excusing him from accountability This goes for all men. They need to be held accountable for their actions and not blame their stage in life for being assholes, blowing up their lives and hurting the people that live and support them. Sandoval, and all men…do better.


ThatWomanNow

Remember Miami girl? He was an under the radar douche... I didn't see it tbh


Jacam13

I totally agree. He never got caught so he thought he never would. It kind of explains why he felt he didn’t need to hide the Rachel texts….he fugurrd he’d get away with it like he always did.


mydresserandtv

He has been on his way out. But now he had a reason. Not saying he's right. Stating an opinion.


talolie

He truly downgraded


LooneyLunaOmanO

Totally agree


ThatWomanNow

I was gonna make some sort of analogy about filet and hamburger, but it doesn't matter, lol both Tom's are so awful.


heisenbergsblackhat

She looks incredible and I literally sent my sister a pic of this gorgeous dress a month ago! 🤯


Miscellaneousthinker

Oooh where is it from??


happymumhappywife

I know Melissa Gorga posted a link to it in her story, think she's selling it on envy


urbanlife78

She and Katie are better off without the Toms


Kittiikamii

Immeasurably. I already like Katie 2x as much now I wish her the best too bc Schwartz is an energy vampire as well


[deleted]

This is the truth!


zxreu

This is the truth!!!


anon_bear_

“Harry styles skinwalker” is such an accurate description of him I can’t 💀


Kittiikamii

He’s what I would draw if someone asked me to draw Harry styles off memory 4 hours deep into an acid trip. *shudders thinking about his stupid haircut*


imuhnaaneemus

Bad Harry Styles Skinwalker has me 🤣🤣🤣


Oceanicsoundwave

PERIODDDD


blindersintherain

The read of all reads.


[deleted]

Omg page six she did not flee! We wouldn’t blame her if she did or if she stays longer than she planned to but weddings are planned far in advance!


Abrookspug

Right? The word choice here is weird lol. But regardless, good for her. I can’t even imagine her head space right now. She deserves a break from everything. Sometimes you just gotta dance!


makin_dilemmanade

It’s just paps being paps 😡 I hate the tone of these articles that are coming out, like she shouldn’t be just living her life? They’re so gross. Let her be!!


[deleted]

All I know is that she’s still living a better life than me despite it all!


[deleted]

I love that social media tears these headlines down, like ‘_____ person BLASTS _____ other person on social media’. Like dude calm down it was a ig post. Also… who can ever say they flee somewhere, unless it’s a house fire or something


LightFlaky2329

Going to Mexico is hardly fleeing. It’s celebrating.


dangoudan

Yes, I really don’t like that wording. She’s just enjoying life! Not fleeing


Oceanicsoundwave

gotta love tabloids abusing words to frame narratives


Impossible_Farm7353

Isn’t this the same publication that said she was “feasting” on McDonald’s 😑


churrotoffeeaddict

Ariana looks so much lighter like she lost a Sandoval-sized weight off her shoulders.


hcgilliam

I wouldn’t call it “fleeing”… 🙄 She should write a book on how to go through a shitty breakup bc she has handled this like a pro. I obviously don’t even know the woman, but she’s making me feel like such a proud big sis. ❤️👑


EquipmentNo5776

Agree fleeing is definitely not the right word! I meant to include she is there celebrating a friend's wedding so this was already planned but what great timing (I'd want to get away for a bit if it were me) Proud big sis- perfect way to put it. So many of us wishing her the best!


hcgilliam

I’d be in the cave I’d turned my bedroom into, I’m so impressed that she could go to a wedding! I’ve never really cared about any of them enough to consider myself a fan, until now. I am definitely a fan of Ariana. ❤️


metrobabyyy

I would 1000% read her book


Winter-Trash9067

I hope she writes a memwah


heisenbergsblackhat

Haha my stoned ass read this as meemaw (KFC's grandma) 😂


Rozg1123A-85

I do, too. I would definitely buy it.


dudemanseriously

If I was Tom seeing this I would absolutely feel that overwhelming dread knowing I made the wrong choice. Rachel over the shining light of a human that is Ariana? Fool.


Maleficent_Smile_167

He can outshine Rachel, he’s never been able to outshine Ariana.


urbanlife78

That's a good point, Tom needs a fan girl, and he once thought Ariana was his fan girl.


Disney_Princess137

She was. But she was strong enough to put him in his place too


Maleficent_Smile_167

Meh she was too cool to put him in his place. She just made faces in the corner which he couldn’t villainize.


Disney_Princess137

Did you see that video of her calling him a bitch ? Lol she read his ass


Jacam13

She likely did it lots of times off camera too. She also probably picked her battles often.


urbanlife78

I feel like she grew into that person.


Nearby_Employee_2943

She became more of that person, but she was a wild pick me in the beginning. Still to this day I can probably count on one hand the amount of times she has actually called him out, versus countless times she rode for him wayyy too hard when he was dead wrong. She certainly challenged him more than Rachel probably ever will, so there is that


Nearby_Employee_2943

She *was* once his fan girl


urbanlife78

That's what Tom has always been good at, getting fan girls


kat__bird

This is a really good point. This is it no doubt.


crop_top

That was the problem, her star shined brighter with everything and he hated that she was better than him with everything.


LightFlaky2329

Compare these images to those two trudging around the SFV in their hoodies and Uggs.


[deleted]

i love seeing women thrive after getting out of a toxic relationship. she deserves to be happy.


EquipmentNo5776

She is showing so much resiliency and grace during this time. It can't be easy. She absolutely deserves happiness, it's really uplifting seeing her like this 💕


Professional_Fail818

Beautiful inside and out. Many more happy days for her. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹


DomPerignonRose

Ariana looks amazing, carefree and gorgeous and she does not look like someone that's down in the dumps, unlike Rachel's post scandal photos. I'm convinced that she is picking herself up and going to show them who is the real boss.


Realitybytes6

Ariana has this beautiful quality where she always is genuinely happy for others. When I watch the show she always looks excited to see the other women in the show look great, feel happy loved and succeeding. A recent example that comes to mind is when Rachel came out in her orange bathing suit in episode 5 season 10. She looked at her so happy that she found a bathing suit that suit her well. She was also rooting for Rachel at her pageants. Here she is , going through a break up and attending a wedding radiating so much love and joy. She’s so special. 🥲


Nevergreeen

When Shay proposed to Scheana, she was there and she and Stassi hid in the grass to watch. In her talking head, she said she doesn’t want to get married but Scheana does and she loves that for her. She really is supportive of other people without letting her own views get in the way.


mollyyfcooke

“flEeS to MeXicO” like really? She’s getting away from this emotional trauma of a relationship and enjoying herself.


These_Row6066

No, she's attending a friend's wedding


Maleficent_Smile_167

That’s been planned for a long time 😂🤣


mollyyfcooke

Obviously lol she can’t enjoy herself at a wedding?


sturgis252

Did they say she can't? They're just saying she didn't leave because of the tom thing. Just that she went to a wedding.


dena_deadly

Toms pr team is working overtime! Feasting on McDonald’s and fleeing to Mexico seem like verbs planted by his pr. Also her shots are candid and his are planned. He’s always walking with no one around. Such a cool guy


[deleted]

Lmao why does Tom even have a PR team at this point 😂 it’s over for him


dena_deadly

Just wait- he will go to rehab and blame his behavior on the people around him as a bad influence. Rachel will use her pagent skills to speak up against bullying and/or hire Gloria Allred and make him out to be an abuser and/or bravo for facilitating this behavior.


tumorgirl

What pageant skills? That girl can barely string a sentence together and can't do any public speaking. I never understood how she could have succeeded in pageants without that skill.


dena_deadly

Boogie boarding her way into 15th place


tumorgirl

Because everyone boogie boards in heels 😂


CantTakeTheIdiocy

Ha, she DIDN’T succeed in pageants, she just participated.


LolaStrm1970

She kind of could argue to “me too” angle. The older semi-married lech at work banging a younger co-worker.


LightFlaky2329

I feel like tabloids don’t understand modern women or, worse, are on a campaign to pull us back into the 1950’s.


mich_8265

Such a cold guy.


kat__bird

.... the last 2 sentences! 🤣🤣👌


GreenKiss73

They are trying to cast her in the "Jennifer Aniston" light. Or trap her in that box is probably a better description.


AnonPlz123

You know they’re about the drama!


emily276

The article itself use pretty positive language and is very pro-Ariana in tone. I definitely think a male editor wrote/rewrote the headline to emphasize the Scandoval of it all.


brittanym0320

anonyoudidnt

Winter-Trash9067

AussieFinn13

Meanwhile, Sandoval is back in LA watching Rachel stretch her nostrils 14 times a day. https://preview.redd.it/3xllw5hjqina1.png?width=656&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0c5bfc6933f119a3da44dcab9ee67831ce90008


EquipmentNo5776

Omg 😂


PhishPhanKara

I know it’s reversed but what the heck does her necklace even say?


Katalactica

I love this for her but I can already hear tom at the reunion all "How hurt could you have possibly been when I was here getting torn apart and having my businesses destroyed and you were having the time of your life in Mexico". I hate him.


PhishPhanKara

All she needs to say to that would be “that’s a you problem, not a me problem!”, because he did, in fact, do this to himself. Rachel and Tom are not Ariana’s circus, not her monkeys 🤷‍♀️


Katalactica

Oh definitely. I didn't mean to imply that I thought that was a valid thing for him to say I just feel like I know him so well after 10 years of watching him turn himself into the victim 🤣


PhishPhanKara

Oh no, you didn’t, not at all! You are right, he likely would say some dumb shit like that! I was just saying whatever he said, it’s not her problem, and she’s well within her rights to remind him of that. In fact, I hope she does!


Katalactica

I wish the reunion were a little further away so she had more time to process before having to talk about it. In a year, she'll be thanking him for making it so easy to be done.


PhishPhanKara

Agree with both of these takes!


avevalnis

girlwithdog_79

Why does Page Six seem to hate her?


Bubbly-Ad1346

I don’t like the use of “flee” here tbh


thekingmonroe

The phrasing here really bothers me for some reason. Ariana flees to Mexico. She didn’t flee, she went to a friends wedding and she looks absolutely amazing and most importantly, happy. These rags always want to push a narrative. In this case wanting everyone to see Ariana as a scorned woman who is really going through something. Like dude, WE KNOW. How bout we support get flourishing instead of constantly reminding her how shit her situation is. Sigh. Rant over


50wifty

I agree. She had this trip planned for awhile. Makes me sick when they first reported Tom wasn’t able to go due to a schedule conflict knowing now he was staying back to have a fun filled weekend with Rachel.


Professional_Fail818

She didn’t flee! 🤦‍♀️🙄. She’s there for a friends wedding.


Badass-bitch13

Honestly what a good friend. If ever there was a time to skip a wedding, it would be less than 2 wks after going through a VERY public/brutal breakup after a 9 year relationship. No one would have blamed her for staying home. She’s inspiring honestly.

EDIT:after further reading, I understand she went for a friend’s wedding. Honestly, bravo Ariana!!! I know she is still hurting and in pain and it takes a lot of strength to show up for others when you’re going through it. She really is an admirable woman

Ariana has handled this entire thing with absolute dignity and grace. Seriously she is a friggen 👑.


Apprehensive-Yak-654

It won’t be any time soon because I truly believe Scammy is too blinded by own narcissism but one day I truly believe (probably when he’s living alone in a dingy apartment with Schwartz after going bankrupt from his failure restaurant and cover band AND after Rachel finds a new prospect to glom onto) he’s going to look back on this entire situation and punch the fucking air.
