After Ariana Madix cropped her out of the picture and blocked her on Instagram, Meghan McCain called her a “mean girl” and said that she felt bad for Raquel Leviss during “Scandoval.”

Meghan McCain called out Ariana Madix on the latest episode of her new podcast.

Months after the Vanderpump Rules star, 38, cropped her out of a photo taken at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, Meghan, 39, spoke to guest Carlos King about her interaction with Ariana, shading her behavior as “mean girl stuff,” confirming she blocked her on Instagram, and expressing empathy for Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29.

“[I] felt bad for Raquel after the [Pump Rules] reunion,” Meghan said on the October 23 episode of Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat, via Decider, doubling down on her “unpopular opinion” about the fallout of “Scandoval,” which saw Raquel, a former friend of Ariana’s, getting caught having an affair with Ariana’s now-ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, 40.

As Pump Rules fans may recall, Ariana was invited to the Washington, D.C. event in April, along with Lala Kent, 33, just one month after “Scandoval” broke. And although she took a group photo with Meghan and her husband, Ben Domenech, as well as Jerry O’Connell and Rebecca Romijn, she cropped Meghan and Ben out of it when she shared it on her Instagram Story.

In the original image, shared by Jerry, the entire group was seen.

Meanwhile, in Ariana’s Instagram Story, Meghan and Ben, as well as another man on the opposite side of the image, were removed.

As she looked back on the alleged snub on her podcast, via Entertainment Weekly, Meghan said Ariana seemed disinterested in interacting with her.

“I post it, she reposts I think Jerry O’Connell’s picture, and cuts me and my friends out of it. I was so confused and shocked, so I called my boss, and I was like, ‘FYI, this is causing unnecessary drama. Also, like, I didn’t even talk to her. What’s happening?’” she recalled.

And while Ariana’s team insisted she had “no agenda” at the time, months later, she blocked the former co-host of The View.

“I found out on accident,” Meghan shared. “I would’ve respected you if you just said, ‘I don’t f*ck with Republicans. I don’t like Meghan McCain’ — just say that. Don’t come up with this weird story and then block me afterward.”

After then noting that their encounter was “mean girl stuff,” Meghan warned Ariana about a potential future run-in.

“If you are a person who’s coming to my town, with my people, in my industry, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, it’s a time we come together, happily,” she said. “It’s a time for liberals and Republicans and everything in between, and journalists and entertainers, to celebrate covering politics.”

Following the photo crop in April, Ariana blamed the ordeal on the “difference between a main feed and a zoomed IG story.”

“We all know how aspect ratios work,” she noted on Instagram.

Vanderpump Rules season 11 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year or early next year.
