Ariana Madix receives grim warning about her attitude towards Tom Sandoval

Lala Kent stressed that Ariana Madix's growing resentment towards ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval will "eat her alive" during latest episode of Vanderpump Rules.

Lala, who has had a bad experience of her own with ex Randall Emmett, explained in an argument with Katie the consequences of Ariana holding resentment towards Tom.

“Nobody knows what it's like to deal with a s***** ex more than I do,” she said.

“I'm never rid of this person that I had a child with and this is why I know that harboring resentment towards your ex like Ariana is doing with Sandoval, it will eat you alive,” the mom of one explained.

“It's like drinking the poison and expecting it to kill the other person. It doesn't. It kills you,” she added. “I don’t want that for my friend.
