Ariana Madix blamed for 'Vanderpump Rules' cast shakeup

Vanderpump Rules recently announced that the next season will be filmed with a new cast. Sources say the decision led many to blame Ariana Madix.

The dramatic shakeup follows reports that the showrunners have "no way forward" with the original cast.

In this context, insiders told Life & Style that the people who have been fired are pointing fingers at the reality star.

"Ariana doesn't care," the tipster tattled. "She's got so many opportunities, not being tied to the show anymore is a good thing."

"But there are quite a few people on the cast that are really stressed and they want to put the blame somewhere so Ariana is a convenient scapegoat," they spilled.

Before concluding, the insider also noted, "That's not the only issue. A lot of people are whispering that the salary demands from her and from LaLa were also an issue, so fingers are also being pointed at her over that aspect, too."
