Lawsuit Against Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney is Dismissed

The lawsuit against Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney over their Something About Her sandwich shop is being dismissed by Chef Penny Davidi.

In her lawsuit, Penny (who was COO/Director of Culinary) said Katie and Ariana didn’t fulfill their agreement to give her a 10-percent cut of the business. The Vanderpump Rules stars denied any wrongdoing.

According to a new report by Us Weekly, Chef Penny told the court on October 2 that she was dismissing her case, which was set to begin trial on March 16 of next year.

But the dismissal depends on certain conditions being met, she claimed. As of now, the conditions are still a mystery.

According to Penny’s suit, they agreed that the three parties would “jointly engage in the business of developing, creating, owning, operating, promoting … and otherwise profiting and benefiting from … a restaurant, fashion, merchandise, and lifestyle, brand, business, and property … to be known as Something About Her.”

She claimed they also agreed to pay her $7,500 a month, and this eventually would increase to up to $10,000 a month.

Last year, Ariana addressed her exit from Pump Rules.

“Thank you especially to the fans,” she wrote on Instagram. “You’ve been the constant over the last decade, your love and support is what I’ll miss the most about it ending. You made this show what it is.”

Around the same time, Katie also reacted to the news.

“Vanderpump Rules as we know it is gonna be no longer,” shared Katie at the time on her Disrespectfully podcast. “They announced last Tuesday that they’re going to be rebooting it with an entirely new cast for season 12, and none of us OGs will be returning.”

“I didn’t plan on returning,” she continued. “Maybe it doesn’t matter at this point, but I had made a decision months ago after [the last reunion] … I needed to move on with my life … And this was before we knew the show is gonna be put on pause … I felt personally ready to move on from the show. I felt like my life and where I was at was moving in a different direction. Mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, I was prepared.”
