Ariana Madix is putting her foot down on filming with Tom Sandoval for the upcoming season of “Vanderpump Rules,” according to a new report.
Madix is “refusing to share the screen” in any “one-on-one” scenes with her unfaithful ex-boyfriend after his months-long affair with their co-star Raquel Leviss, sources told TMZ Thursday.
Despite producers having cameras on just Madix and Sandoval “at the top of their to-do list,” she has remained firm in that she is “just not interested in talking to the guy,” per the insiders.
The report noted that Madix, 38, has not “directly” spoken to Sandoval, 41, since the explosive Season 10 reunion, which the cast taped on March 23.
The exes, who continue to live under the same roof, have been “communicating through other people” for the last four months, according to the outlet.
Filming for Season 11 began in late May and is reportedly expected to wrap in early September.
Fellow cast member Lala Kent previously confirmed Madix and Sandoval had not shot any scenes together yet.
“From what I’ve heard, they have not,” she said on Amazon Live Monday. “We have a few weeks left, I believe, so we’ll see what happens.”

The new season has already kicked into high gear, with a group trip to Lake Tahoe already in the books.
Sandoval, Kent, Tom Schwartz, Scheana Shay, Brock Davies, James Kennedy and Ally Lewber attended the getaway to celebrate Lisa Vanderpump’s new restaurant, Wolf, while Madix and Katie Maloney stayed in Los Angeles.
Shay, 38, recently teased that she had “the most emotionally draining day” while doing a “one-on-one” meditation session with Sandoval last week.
“My eyelashes hurt from how much I cried that day. My contacts were dry. I was congested. I felt weak in every way possible,” she said on Amazon Live Monday.
While the rest of the cast has been filming since early summer, sources told Page Six that Leviss, 28, is still playing “hardball” over contract negotiations and continuing to live at her parents’ home in Tucson, Ariz.
