Ann Maddox on Scandoval, Reddit and Grief

Candice Lim is joined by We Signed An NDA co-host Ann
Maddox, who you may know as Tom Sandoval’s former personal
assistant. In March 2023, Maddox was teaching improv to a middle
school in Japan when she found out Sandoval and his then-girlfriend
Ariana Madix had split. At first, Maddox assumed this was simply
routine tabloid fodder, which often plagued her employers as
long-time cast members on Vanderpump Rules. But one specific
photograph made her realize the rumors were true, which escalated
into one of 2023’s biggest online watercooler moments: “Scandoval.”
Maddox joins the show to discuss how she got into this line of
work, what she knew when Scandoval went down, and what it’s like to
have your personal and professional life dissected online. This
podcast is produced by Se’era Spragley Ricks, Daisy Rosario,
Candice Lim and Rachelle Hampton. Learn more about your ad choices.
