Scandoval what? That business is so 2023 and tbh, the only thing that matters now is that Bravo’s loss has totally been our gain. Because it freed up Ariana Madix to claim her space as a multi-hyphenate talent who has impressed millions with her stints as Roxie Hart in Broadway’s Chicago, the third-place finisher on Dancing with the Stars, host of Love Island USA and most recently, as wry cardiologist Dr. Brooke Emerson on St. Denis Medical.
Even cooler than her growing resume is the fact that she’s actually good. And not in the “good for a reality star” way, either. She’s sharp, assured, and spot-on with the comedic timing.
