May 18 (UPI) -- Ariana Madix says she's moved "past the anger" regarding her ex-partner Tom Sandoval's affair.

On Thursday's episode of Today, Madix discussed the fallout of Sandoval cheating with their Vanderpump Rules co-star Raquel Leviss following the show's Season 10 finale.

Madix and Sandoval split in March after nine years of dating. Sandoval's cheating scandal played out in Vanderpump Rules Season 10, with Sandoval and Leviss declaring their love for each other in the finale.

On Today, Madix said her anger with Sandoval has turned to apathy.

"I'm past the anger," Madix told Today co-anchors Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager.

"My way of getting past the anger stage was just, I became so disgusted, which then turned me to a place of almost indifference, apathy," she said. "I don't know if that's also my brain trying to protect itself in a way, but that's kind of where I'm at in this moment."

Madix also addressed her future with Leviss and shut down the idea of having a friendship again.

"I just don't trust that person," Madix said of Leviss. "Even hearing my ex on the show last night saying, 'I know it's hard for Ariana to trust people.' It has been over many years, and it took me a long time to get to a point where I did trust new friends."

"Once that trust is broken, I don't see going back," she added.

On Wednesday, Madix appeared on Watch What Happens Live, where she was asked to name the most "cringeworthy" aspect of Sandoval's cheating scandal.

"The fabrication of a narrative that was being formed the entire time without my knowledge, behind my back, by not just my ex-boyfriend but his little flying monkeys as well," she said.

Madix named their Vanderpump Rules co-star Tom Schwartz as Sandoval's "flying monkey" for helping to cover up the affair.

She added that she would check Sandoval's phone regularly but said he was good at hiding evidence.

"He was very good at concealing the double life," Madix said.

Madix confirmed that she and Sandoval are still living in their house but said they don't communicate or interact.

"We have go-betweens," she said.

Vanderpump Rules airs Wednesdays on Bravo. Katie Maloney, Stassi Schroeder and Lala Kent also star.
