After more than a decade on the popular reality show ‘Vanderpump Rules’, Ariana Madix has decided to step away and pursue new opportunities. In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Ariana shared her reasons why she would “never” go back to the show that made her a household name.

Through it all, she has shown resilience, growth, and a commitment to self-discovery. Her story serves as an inspiration to others who may be navigating similar paths in their own lives.
