“To be able to go through and say, ‘Okay I have my own flaws as well. I’m moody as f*ck and my anxiety is like, real bad sometimes,’ [and] to try to just go through piece by piece and talk about all these things… I did feel like it was pretty cathartic,” she defined.
“It was written very fast, so a lot of it was voice notes, telling stories, and then having a recipe. [And] the recipes very much coincide with the stories so some of them are kind of gross,” she added.
After listening to all about Raquel’s interview on Bethenny’s podcast, which made her “sad” and “angry,” Ariana admitted it was onerous to listen to the issues Raquel stated about their friendship being bogus.
“It’s kind of heartbreaking to think that these years of friendship that both [Scheana, 38] and I thought we were building with this person, that it feels as though on her end, it wasn’t genuinely reciprocated,” Ariana famous. “Knowing that those things were being said on this podcast about us and about me, my friendships towards her, that I felt was really meaningful, it’s another little twist of the knife to say, ‘I was only hanging out with you to get to your boyfriend.’”
After years of friendship with Raquel, Ariana discovered in March that Raquel had been having an affair with Tom Sandoval for months. Now, months later, as she stays satisfied that a lot of Raquel’s conduct has been led by a disaster supervisor, Ariana hopes Raquel can study that she’s not at all times the sufferer.
“I think trying to victimize herself, at least when it comes to me and [Scheana], is very sad, and I hope that in the next bit of the future, she’s able to get with maybe a therapist that understands maybe a bit more the context of the situation and helps her to not do that,” Ariana stated as she mentioned the short-term restraining order Raquel filed in opposition to Scheana, accusing Scheana of punching her after studying of her and Sandoval’s affair.
Because there was a lot speak about Ariana and Sandoval’s residing preparations, Ariana addressed the matter on Scheana’s present, saying that she sleeps simpler these days.
“Him staying out late all the time was always something that really made my anxiety like super, super bad, never knowing when he was gonna come in the door, never knowing how late he’s gonna stay out. He’d say he’s gonna be out till 12, and it’s two or three, and he’s still out, and I couldn’t sleep. In that regard, I have to say, I sleep a lot easier at night not giving a f*ck about when he’s coming in that door,” she defined. “Yes, we’re in the same house, but I don’t have to think about, ‘He’s coming in my bedroom,’ because he’s not. I sleep with my door locked. Just in case.”
According to Ariana, it’s been “so incredibly hurtful” to listen to that as a result of she and Sandoval are nonetheless residing collectively, many have assumed “Scandoval” was faux.
“First of all, our show was not getting canceled. I don’t know where this came from,” Ariana famous of a press release Raquel claimed producer Alex Baskin stated. “That was not, like a thing. So that right there, out the window, but that being said, I’m the one who made production aware when I found out. The next day I said something to them. I would not do that because I wanted to save the show.”
It has additionally been alleged that Ariana has made thousands and thousands off Sandoval’s affair.
“I pay a mortgage. It’s expensive. I think a lot of people on the internet seem to think I’m rolling in money right now,” she famous. “I am not rich. I do not have millions of dollars and I’m also not going to squander my financial future and stability by putting myself in a position to f*ck myself over for the rest of my life because someone else f*cked up.”
While Ariana may select to go away her and Sandoval’s residence, she’s chosen to not in an effort to guard her wealth.
“I have a pretty decent little setup. I stay in my room or I go in the kitchen if I have to. My room is kind of like my little apartment. I don’t see him. I don’t interact with him. I stay in my own little zone,” she revealed. “I’m busy. I got a lot going on. And I have financial advisers, I have a lawyer, I have an accountant. I have all kinds of people that are helping make the best decisions so that whatever money I’m making now or whatever money I have or could potentially get in the future goes to the right places to set me up for not being in the position that I was years ago, before I was making on this show at all, which was not good.”
“I don’t intend to f-ck myself over when it comes to money because I know how quickly that sh-t goes away. I’m taking care of myself. I’m not fucking around with my life, and I’m not letting someone else’s horrible decisions ruin my future,” she added.
Moving on to boyfriend Daniel, who she first went public with in April whereas attending Coachella, Ariana had all good issues to say in regards to the health coach.
“He does [have the best energy]. He’s a very grounding, calming, positive energy. He’s always trying to help,” she gushed. “I just want to keep going towards things that are positive, and so I’m just gonna keep doing what makes me happy, and he’s someone who does bring a whole lot of happiness and really just calming and positive energy to my life, so I’m gonna keep him around.”
Continuing on about their future, Ariana couldn’t say for certain after they would transfer in collectively.
“It’s hard to predict, even just work-wise what’s gonna come up in the next year or so. I would love it if he moved out here, but he’s born and raised in New York, so I can understand how that would be a huge adjustment,” she shared. “His family is there, and I wouldn’t wanna take him away from his family but moving back to New York for me sounds, oh, God, it’s so much harder.”
Also, throughout the podcast, Ariana stated she’s nonetheless not sure of when Something About Her will open.
“I wish I had a definitive date for you. It will be soon,” she teased. “We have our security system going in this week. Our POS system is going in this week. So things are moving along.”
As for the holdup, Ariana stated she and Katie have had some permit-related hiccups alongside the best way.
“West Hollywood would like to turn Robertson into a walking street, so there’s a lot of city improvement projects going on on Robertson, and that caused us to have to switch up the outdoor patio,” she revealed. “So now we’re working on a different outdoor seating plan. So there’s been some holdups in terms of that, which has been frustrating, but we’re really excited to move forward.”
