TV star Ariana Madix had an eventful night at the 2023 White House Correspondents’ Dinner despite a joke at her expense about her ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval’s affair scandal. The event was broadcast on NBC News and Roy Wood Jr. from the Daily Show made a playful quip about scandals derailing careers, comparing Tucker Carlson’s Fox News exit in April to Sandoval’s own scandal with Raquel Leviss. Us Weekly confirmed that the couple had ended their nine-year relationship after Sandoval’s affair with Leviss. Despite the joke, Madix looked incredible in a white ballgown and a coordinating cape at the political gala. She attended the event with fellow Vanderpump Rules co-stars Lisa Vanderpump and Lala Kent.
