Katie Maloney, former star of Vanderpump Rules, has spoken out about the recent reunion episode, claiming that it was mean-spirited and targeted her co-star, Ariana Madix. Maloney, who co-hosts the podcast Disrespectfully with Dayna Kathan, expressed her disappointment with the way the reunion was edited to make Madix look bad.
According to Maloney, the intention behind the footage was to hurt Madix, who has been a focal point of the show’s drama this season. Maloney felt that the show was unfair to Madix, who was already feeling vulnerable after being cheated on by her boyfriend, Tom Sandoval.
Madix herself has spoken out about the reunion, saying that she felt trapped and manipulated by the producers. She expressed frustration with the way she was portrayed, stating that she was being targeted and that the editing was intentional.

Maloney and Madix both agree that the goal of the footage was to hurt Madix, saying that it didn’t affect anyone else in the same way. Madix felt that the show was trying to break her down, and Maloney concurred that it did come across as mean-spirited.
Madix has had a tumultuous season, with her boyfriend’s infidelity being a major storyline. However, she maintains that she is a real and authentic person, and that her reaction to the situation was genuine.
