VANDERPUMP Rules star Ariana Madix’s brother Jeremy has revealed he’s “side-eyeing” her boyfriend Daniel Wai.
Jeremy defended Ariana’s costar Lala Kent after she “interrogated” Daniel, saying she’s simply being “protective.”
In a scene from the May 7 Vanderpump Rules finale, Lala grilled Daniel on his past relationships and intentions with Ariana, 38,.
“I will be damned if another person comes into this group dating someone and they end up being an asshole,” she explained in a confessional.
During lunch with the cast, she asked, “How old are you, Dan? Have you ever been married? When was your last relationship? How come that one ended?”
She also asked the personal trainer, 40, if he wants kids, to which he replied, “I think I do.”
The Bravo star seemed unimpressed with the response, saying, “Whenever someone says, ‘I think I do,’ I’m like, ‘You should definitely hold off.'”
Lala later added that she was worried about the prospect of Daniel meeting Ariana’s ex, Tom Sandoval.
She told Katie Maloney, “Every time I would ask her, ‘Is Dan gonna be okay on this trip? Like, what if there’s an interaction with Sandoval?’ she was like, ‘Dan has been in fights before. Like, he does not f-ck around.
“‘If Sandoval were to walk up to him, and be like, “Hey how are you?” there’s no way Dan would shake his hand.'”
She concluded, “I’m like, this guy sounds like a f**king square.”
Jeremy seemed to defend Lala’s stern attitude, writing on Instagram, “After everything that happened I’m side-eyeing EVERYBODY.

“Lala is being protective of Ariana by asking all the right questions.”
Last month, Jeremy revealed he hasn’t spoken to Ariana in months over her alleged behavior towards his new fiancee Rachael.
“There’s been some small microaggressive gestures toward my fiancée, and that’s what’s led to me not talking to my sister,” he told Us Weekly.
“It’s been going on for quite some time. I think that we’ve just been kind of letting it pass, because of course I’m always going to have my sister’s back.
“But I was put in a position where I choose my sister, or do I choose the person I’m going to spend the rest of my life with?”
