While there, Tom attempted to have a conversation with Ariana – who refused and instead headed off to dinner with her new boyfriend, Daniel Wai, as well as other friends.
When asked if Vanderpump Rules is over at Ariana’s dramatic departure, Scheana told her guest, comedian Matt Rogers, that there are “still stories to end” on the show.
“I don’t think it’s done yet because I don’t feel good about how it ended,” she explained.

“Jeremiah said, ‘Let it all out, whatever you want to say – go, go for it,'” Scheana revealed.

“She now thinks she is Beyoncé. It’s bulls**t that she can’t film with someone because she stays under the same roof. It’s a lot,” she added.
“It’s a lot that she’s saying don’t f**k with Tom Sandoval… But, I’m gonna sleep down the hall from Tom Sandoval.”
“I get it, he f**king cheated,” she continued. “You did a really f**ing sh**ty thing. It was weird how you looked us all in the eye and said a lot of s**t. But, he did not 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 somebody.”
“I never in my life experienced someone who gets cheated on and suddenly she becomes God,” Lala concluded.
Things are set to get even more heated during next week’s reunion, according to Entertainment Tonight.
Lala and Ariana are reported to have had a major blow-up, which supposedly caused the end of their friendship.
Last month, Lala admitted that filming Season 11 put her in a “darker place” and that she was “shook up” after the reunion.
LALA LEAVING?Lala, who has been a cast member on Vanderpump Rules since Season 4, is reportedly considering switching over to Bravo’s reality series The Valley.
The news comes after Tuesday night’s season finale, which showed Lala breaking down over Ariana’s actions toward Tom.
