Chrishell Stause slams Tom Sandoval’s Traitors sabotage. Was Ariana Madix the real target? Watch the clash!

Why Did Chrishell Stause Target Tom Sandoval on The Traitors?
Talk about loyalty! Chrishell Stause reveals to PEOPLE she threw subtle shade at Tom Sandoval on The Traitors S3 over his messy Vanderpump Rules breakup with her pal Ariana Madix.
Before filming, she told him, “Love Ariana… hope this isn’t awkward.” His response? “No, of course not!” Plot twist: He accused her of being a traitor hours later.
Was Sandoval’s Accusation a “Personal Attack”?
Oh, it’s war in the castle! After host Alan Cumming picked traitors, Sandoval—with zero evidence—told castmates Chrishell was guilty.
“He had nothing to go off of,” she fumes. Her theory? “He’s salty I’m Team Ariana.” Sandoval claims he “wasn’t playing personal,” but Stause claps back: “He started it.”
Did Chrishell Blur Sandoval’s Pic on Instagram On Purpose?
Petty level: Reality TV pro. Fans noticed Chrishell blacked out Sandoval’s face in a November cast post. Coincidence? Hardly. She admits, “After that roundtable, I was done with him.”
But hey—“It’s a game, so all good.” Sure, Jan.
How Did Ariana Madix Factor Into the Drama?
Minnesota nice? More like Minnesota knives-out. Chrishell insists she name-dropped Ariana not for clout but to expose Sandoval’s bias.
“I didn’t want this to be a storyline!” she swears. Too late—their feud’s the season’s juiciest subplot.
Will Their Feud Outlast The Traitors?
“After filming, no love lost,” Chrishell hints. When asked if she’d reconcile, she shrugs: “Game respect game… but he crossed a line.”
Meanwhile, Sandoval’s busy sipping martinis with Alan Cumming. Priorities!
