Vanderpump Rules star, Ariana Madix, has only grown in popularity since starting her stint as the season 6 host of Love Island USA. The co-owner of Something About Her sandwich shop’s Instagram analytics prove the blonde beauty is killing it!
Numbers Don’t Lie:
Since Ariana’s VPR co-star, Lala Kent, trashed her for allegedly buying Instagram followers, social media super-sleuths analyzed data from both women’s accounts. The following stats are from Social Blade while Instagram’s @BravoBuds collected the data and created the charts. Note that Lala’s data was last updated June 21st, about a month after season 11 of VPR ended. Ariana’s data was updated June 29th, which is around the halfway mark of her time hosting Peacock’s popular dating show in Fiji.
Ariana = 2.3M Followers:
The award winning reality star’s stats skyrocketed after her LI USA gig began. In fact, she averages about 974 new followers a day. Over the last 30 days, Ariana gained 29,220 followers.
Lala = 2.4M Followers:
The expectant mother saw a major drop in followers after her appearance on the Two T’s In a Pod podcast. One podcast reviewer wrote, “I was shocked at the butt kissing to La La. So many put downs of Ariana and you clearly have NOT watched the show’s previous seasons. La La thinks her ridiculous ‘thug’ talk was her being real for all these years- go watch season after season where Ariana puts her entire heart and insecurities out there in public. We, the audience, related to that and valued her in the show. Many of us laughed AT La La and her ridiculous posturing while she revealed very little. I won’t listen to you guys again because of this.”
After the nosedive podcast appearance, Lala’s Insta following bounced back with an average of 3,000 followers a day for a 7 day period. After Lala’s great week, her followers dwindled again. Bravo TV fans had strong reactions to Lala’s IG data results.
- Pretty convenient the spike was exactly 7 days lol. Sounds like a nice little 7 day follower package she bought there
- You’re begging for money from producers but you can afford to buy follows?
- This does not appear to be a natural fluctuation
- She clearly got a one week package 😂
- I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t be a conversation if Lala wouldn’t have said her co-stars (ariana and katie) bought followers. karma came to party
