Tom Sandoval’s former assistant Ann Maddox revealed more details behind her infamous job interview with his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix – which happened when he was still in the house and ultimately led to Ann’s firing.

The Vanderpump Rules star – who signed a nondisclosure agreement under Tom’s employment – also reacted to his interviews about the situation, and she shared how she was let go.

“When we originally were supposed to shoot that interview, Tom was not supposed to be home,” said Ann on the Vanderpump Robs podcast. “But then Maya ate the chicken skewer, so we had to cancel it. And so the only other time we could shoot it was when Tom was home.”

Ann suggested that she questioned producers over the decision.

“You can’t really argue with the producers. It gets a little sticky,” she hinted. “That’s probably all I could say for now.”

She later addressed seeing Tom’s interviews as he discussed the situation.

“It’s so wild to me,” she explained on her own We Signed an NDA podcast. “But I totally get it. I hurt his feelings by handing my resume to Ariana and wanting to work for her. That being said, some of the things that he said, I was a little like, ‘Ok…’”

She called it a “wild experience” to hear what Tom was claiming.

Later in the podcast, Ann discussed the aftermath of their drama and the last time she communicated with Tom.

“I want to make it clear that I was never formally fired. How many months has it been since August?” she asked. “The day after that all happened, I got a text saying, ‘You don’t have to come in. He just needs some time,’ and I texted back, ‘ok,’ and that was the last time we had … communicated.”

“What would have been nice, what would have been thoughtful, was when you replaced me with another employee, you let me know that it’s time for me to find another job,” she went on. “I have no income. I don’t know if I’m allowed to file for unemployment … I’m just kind of a sitting duck with my bank account running out with no net. It’s a terrifying position.”

Ann revealed she has a “lawyer fund,” so she can save up for representation to protect herself against potential legal issues with Tom.
