Tom Sandoval confronts ex Ariana Madix twice in explosive Vanderpump Rules midseason trailer as she snaps that he wouldn't care if 'I f***ing died in a ditch'

After six episodes of completely avoiding one another, Tom Sandoval attempted to confront Ariana Madix publicly twice in the Vanderpump Rules midseason trailer, which Bravo released Tuesday

The philandering 40-year-old (R) physically reached out to his 38-year-old ex-girlfriend (L) at a black-tie event as she turned and stormed off

'Ariana, wait one second,' Tom - whose seven-month affair with Rachel Leviss resulted in 'Scandoval' - said to no avail 

At that, Ariana headed over to a producer of the Emmy-nominated reality show and yelled: 'He wants 30 seconds with the audience. He doesn't give a f*** if I f***ing died in a ditch'

Moments later, Sandoval walks over to castmates Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, and Tom Schwartz and declares: 'Ariana, she f***ing talks s*** about all of you f***ers'

Madix attended the fancy party with her New York City-based boyfriend of a year, Daniel Wai (R)

The Chicago thespian - who's starring in the Broadway musical through April 7 - famously began dating the 38-year-old personal trainer the same month she ended her nine-year relationship with the Everybody Loves Tom podcaster

'Ariana's got good taste in men,' Tom admitted in the preview

At one point, Lala asked Daniel what he'd do if Sandoval attempted to speak to him, and he replied: 'I know what he's done'

In a beach scene, the Tom Tom Restaurant junior partner again attempted to talk to Ariana about 'her rules' and she clapped back: 'Don't speak to me'

Frustrated, Tom replied: 'You're speaking to me!'

Sandoval appeared even more frustrated while reuniting with Jax Taylor (pictured), who was famously fired off The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills spin-off in 2020 after accusing former co-star Faith Stowers of grand theft auto and going AWOL from the military in a tweet

'You've been relentlessly talking s*** about me,' the Schwartz & Sandy's Lounge co-owner blasted

Jax yelled back: 'The whole world has talked s*** about you! The whole, entire world!'

Meanwhile, Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney - who divorced in 2022 after five years of marriage - are both seen passionately kissing Scheana's nanny Tori Keeth

'Me and Katie are closer than ever right now. I mean, we're dating the same girl,' Schwartz says before asking her: 'I know we're divorced, but I was thinking, just [a] one night stand'

There's a tense scene where Shay admits to her teary-eyed husband Brock Davies less than two years into their marriage: 'I don't think you and I are gonna be together forever'

Things are also awkward for live-in loves James Kennedy and Ally Lewber while discussing having babies in the future when she scoffed: 'I've never felt that'
