Real reason Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix is doing so much public 'wound licking' amid cheating scandal, expert reveals | The Sun

ARIANA Madix is rounding up a "gang of allies" as she prepares to get even with her cheating ex, a body language expert has said.

And she claims the TV star's recent nightclub appearance flanked by Vanderpump co-stars is just the beginning.

Recently, Ariana Madix was filmed alongside some of her Vanderpump Rules co-stars during a girl's night out at a Hollywood nightclub.

Five weeks after splitting from Tom Sandoval Ariana took to the stage inside the packed venue on Friday.

The 37-year-old was also wearing a black hoodie and dark glasses.

Flanked by Scheana Shay and Katie Maloney and Ariana was later seen entering the DJ booth before whipping up the crowd to chant: “F**k Tom.”

While the TV star was filmed dancing wildly on stage, she threw up her hands and fingers.

In an exclusive interview, body language expert Judi James told The U.S. Sun: “Ariana’s clearly done some wound-licking in public over Tom cheating on her.

“But Ariana’s bravado rituals at the club are a declaration of war against him and the start of her getting even.

“In the photos, she has her army and we’re signaled this from the way they’re all in matching dark uniforms.

“The black hoodies mimic a gang look, showing she has ‘team Ariana’ around her.

“The gang of allies' warlike dancing and gesticulations also enlist the audience on the floor.

"This all suggests large numbers of fans are going to be on her side.

“Her war dance body language also suggests toughness and anger.

“Signs include leaping, arm-in-the-air waving, and middle finger gesticulations.

"There's sticking out of tongues and the group is like rebellious teenagers on the attack.

“Wearing shades inside a dark club is an interesting touch.

“The eyes tend to reveal the true emotions, which Ariana seems to want to keep hidden here.

"There's some questionable behavior here.”

Ariana's split with Tom came amid cheating rumors involving her Vanderpump co-star, Raquel Leviss, 28.

As Bravo TV producers continued filming the show, Ariana reportedly learned of the affair after finding a video of Tom and Raquel on his phone.

When the pair broke up, Tom, 40, took to Instagram and said: "I need some time to address everything else. Sorry for everything,"

The restaurant owner has since said on a podcast: "I'm finally getting time to start reflecting on the situation because I never thought I would get myself in a situation like this.”

Tom also went on to say that his relationship with Ariana leaned towards "best friends" or "roommates" instead of an intimate couple.

Previously, Ariana had addressed speculation that she and Tom were in an "open relationship."

Once the idea was teased in the season 10 trailer, she tweeted. "We don't have an open relationship," before adding: "I'm really not that cool. thought that was obvious,"

Since March, Ariana, who was with Tom for nine years, has received continuous support over her relationship breakdown from her VPR co-stars.

At times the 37-year-old blonde has shown her anger about the affair.

When news of the scandal broke in March, she was photographed screaming and throwing up her middle finger.

Then, during the VPR reunion taping, it was revealed that Madix "assassinated" Raquel during a difficult exchange.

“Ariana’s body language timeline looks odd throughout this scandal," adds Judi.

"She has created vulnerable poses before the affair came out and speaks about 2022 being her worst year.

“Ariana also posted a video swaddled in a huge green knit that looks like a comfort blanket and the puppies, all to suggest lost love and vulnerability.

“Her incongruent body language is seen in these pre-split Insta posts where her smile tends to look rigid and forced.

“In the green knit, Ariana also performs a denial gesture.

“Ariana finishes speaking and smiles into the camera but then throws in a widening of the lower lip.

"Right at the end, she turns the smile into a grimace.

"In one other Instagram post after the breakup, she uses a pose that looks elegant and serene.

"Ariana looks straight into the camera with a part smile and holds her skirt out with one hand as though she’s at some grand ball.

"She has a fan in the other hand and her hair is pulled into an immaculate bun, but writes in the post that she 'couldn't even stand.'

"She's trying to show her own power and strength, stoicism and elegance.

"But there are conflicting messages, even with the red revenge dress.

"Both the angry war dance at the club and this look of regal composure also suggest fluctuating emotions.

“Her emotions seem to be ranging from worthlessness to rage with every stop along the route.

“All these body language rituals are her trying to show extreme resilience and defiance to Tom, while perhaps showing him up.

"Both types of body language look like protective armor in the face of her devastation."

Ariana joined the show in 2013 and has also appeared in the TV show Anger Management.

She's rumored to be appearing on DWTS in the new series which kicks off in September.

The Florida-born model tried her hand at authoring and 2019 released a cocktail book with Tom in 2019.

This year, however, it has been the high-profile ‘Scandoval’ saga that has continued to dominate Ariana's life so far.

“There's also the photo of Ariana with the caption: ‘She’s thriving,” says Judi.

“This is like a verbal version of the one-finger gestures she keeps throwing at the club.

"It looks like overkill responses and as if he's out of her life.

“Ariana's body language rituals suggest someone who doesn’t care, which in turn signals they actually do care, and quite a lot.

“Real not-caring would mean carrying on as though nothing has happened.”
