Madix called recent times in her and the Bravo TV cast’s lives “tumultuous” as she remotely delivered an acceptance speech.
‘Thank you thank you thank you. We have experienced so many ups and downs. A tumultuous time in all of our lives,” she noted.
The blonde beauty was of course referring to the sudden end of her nine-year relationship with ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval, who was having an affair with costar Raquel Leviss.

The star added: “We’re really at our best when we come together as a team. So thank you! We made it.’
The trio of women donned the same black hooded sweatshirt, which read “Everynite is VPR Nite” in white letters.
Katie, who divorced husband Tom Schwartz last year, wore her dark bob haircut in a side part with a slight flick at the ends.
She gratefully added, “Wow. Best Screen Team. Thank you MTV and especially to everyone who voted for us.
Scheana added: “The team isn’t just us. I mean we have a whole production team behind us that makes the show happen.”
‘That is so exciting. We won the best team only because of you, the fans. Thank you for voting.’

Joining in: Lala joined in virtually from a different location than her three co-stars
The women beamed as Ariana, whose light tresses were tied in a casual low bun, held the red popcorn statue.
Lala arrived from practically a different place than her three co-stars, donning a white sweatshirt that read, “Send it to Daniel,” a reference to a spat with Leviss.
She was in good spirits in the recorded clip, appearing with her frosty blonde locks flowing down her chest in an off-center part.
Sandoval’s infidelity began in August 2022 and lasted seven months until Ariana discovered intimate FaceTime videos on Tom’s phone between him and Raquel.
Raquel has since checked herself into a psychiatric facility.
The Missouri native later admitted his relationship with Ariana “simply lacked intimacy” and “connection.”
He felt they stayed together to maintain the look [they] were solid’ for her reality show and other business ventures.
Unfaithful: “We don’t put a label on this,” Tom said recently of his scandalous relationship with Racquel
The 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards aired Sunday from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif., in a pre-taped broadcast during the WGA writers’ strike that began earlier this week.
Movies such as Avatar: The Way Of Water, Elvis, Nope, and Top Gun: Maverick compete for the Best Movie Award, while The Last Of Us, Stranger Things, Wednesday, The White Lotus, Yellowstone, and Yellowjackets are among the nominees in the Best Show”.
The long-running awards show is one of the first victims of the ongoing dispute between the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and the Writers Guild of America Union.
Writers Guild officials had pledged to protest at the Southern California event – which would have put celebrities in the awkward position of crossing the line – until MTV sunk Saturday night’s live event.
