Ariana Madix is guiding Ciara Miller in the aftermath of her own public scandal.
In an Instagram video shared on Sunday, May 24, Madix, 40, approaches Miller, 30, who is busy counting her numerous pieces of luggage.
“You don’t need all that,” Madix advises, starting to discard the excess baggage. “No, no, no, no, no.”
When Miller expresses hesitation about leaving her hats behind, she asks, “Are you sure?” Madix confidently responds, “Trust me. I’ve been there before.”
“Got rid of your baggage?” Miller questions. “Let’s toast to that with Frozen Sonic Refreshers.”
The pair captioned their joint Instagram post, “@sonicdrivein New Frozen Refreshers > unnecessary baggage. Every time. #SipToThat #SONICPartner.”
A month earlier, Madix and Miller collaborated on another Sonic ad, where the Vanderpump Rules alumna asked the Summer House star if anything “new” was happening in her life.
“No, honestly, life has been pretty chill,” Miller replied, to which Madix humorously added, “That’s actually so refreshing to hear because I feel, like, I kind of thought that, you know, things were like …”
Miller mentioned she had been “off social media” and enjoying her new frozen refreshers, prompting Madix to respond, “I love that energy … let’s toast to that.”
The ad premiered a month after Miller’s ex West Wilson confirmed his relationship with her former best friend Amanda Batula, who had recently parted ways with her husband Kyle Cooke after four years of marriage. This scandal echoed the revelation in 2023 that Madix’s ex Tom Sandoval had an affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.
The Summer House cast is set to discuss the drama at the upcoming season 10 reunion, with the first of three parts airing on Tuesday, May 26. Leading up to the reunion, Miller shared her thoughts on her current mindset.
“Make it to the waiting and make it to the end of all of this. I’m excited to put it all behind me,” Miller told People on the amFAR red carpet on Saturday, May 23. “The reunion was quite the day, but we are moving on to bigger and better things, and we can say farewell to certain aspects.”
Ariana Madix and Ciara Miller’s dramatic relationships have unfolded on Bravo, but have they connected over it? Ariana, 40, appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Tuesday, April 12, and discussed the ongoing love triangle involving Summer House’s Ciara and Amanda.
She continued, “I think it will definitely get some clarity. I think it was very cathartic. It’s one of those situations that’s unfortunate but, you know, I’m so excited to move on from this. You can’t take everyone with you. It’s nice to be able to go into this next chapter of my life and have clarity on who is supposed to be there and who is not.”
Regarding her relationship with Batula, 34, Miller confirmed, “Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I wouldn’t do this to my worst enemy.”
The Summer House season 10 reunion will unfold over three parts, beginning on Bravo on Tuesday, May 26, at 8 p.m. ET.
