"They built it together... and now it’s falling apart, piece by piece."
Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix’s much-anticipated sandwich shop, Something About Her, has long been a passion project — and, for fans, a symbol of female friendship, loyalty, and second chances. But as of this week, the official website for the brand has gone completely dark — and insiders say it may be more than just a technical glitch.
The website, which had been showcasing chic mockups, curated merchandise, and updates on the long-delayed opening, now redirects to a blank page. No explanation, no redirect message, no maintenance notice. Just silence. And it comes at a time when whispers of a rift between Katie and Ariana are growing louder than ever.
Sources close to the duo claim tension has been simmering behind the scenes for months. “They were always on the same page — until they weren’t,” says one insider. “When Ariana’s career took off after Dancing with the Stars, she became harder to reach. There were missed meetings, unanswered messages, and Katie started feeling sidelined.”
Ariana’s post-Scandoval rise has seen her career skyrocket — from reality TV darling to Broadway debut to national campaigns. But fans have noticed that in the flurry of red carpets and late-night appearances, her involvement in Something About Her has noticeably dwindled.
“There was a time Ariana wouldn’t shut up about that place,” one fan posted online. “Now she acts like it barely exists.”
Meanwhile, Katie — who had been the driving force behind the restaurant’s interiors and brand identity — has grown increasingly quiet on social media regarding the project. Recent photos show her attending events solo, with no mention of Something About Her, and zero interaction with Ariana’s public posts.
The rumors intensified when followers noticed that both women had unfollowed several mutual Something About Her collaborators and deleted older posts promoting the launch. And now, with the website abruptly down, speculation is boiling over.
“Something About Her feels cursed,” a former crew member commented anonymously. “It’s like every time it gets close to opening, something happens — a delay, a permit issue, or now, personal drama.”
Neither Katie nor Ariana has commented publicly on the website’s disappearance — or the alleged falling-out. But fans are already bracing for the worst: a full-blown business split, and possibly, the slow collapse of one of Vanderpump Rules’ most iconic friendships.
If this really is the end of Something About Her, it won’t just be a failed business — it will be the heartbreak of a dream that started with so much hope, now unraveling in real time.
