Most may know Ann Maddox as Tom Sandoval‘s former assistant â and the MVP of Vanderpump Rules Season 11. But long before she had her breakout on the hit reality show, Maddox appeared in an episode of The Office. Shocked? So were we!
A clip from the Season 4 episode titled “Money” is making rounds on X (formerly known as Twitter). In the scene, Maddox â who plays a “telemarketer,” per her IMDb â is listening to Michael Scott (Steve Carell) explain the Die Hard movies. Her character only becomes more intrigued when he reveals that he wrote a movie himself.
The Office isnât the only hit series to cast Maddox in a small role. In fact, she also appeared in episodes of Awkward, Grandfathered and 2 Broke Girls before becoming a personal assistant for the worm with(out) a mustache.
Maddox made her Vanderpump Rules debut at the start of Season 11. Not only did she take on the role of Sandoval’s assistant, but she oftentimes found herself doing his housekeeping, and, most importantly, acting as the middle-man between him and his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix as they continued to live in the same house together.
A recent episode of Vanderpump Rules finds Maddox interviewing to be Madix’s personal assistant instead. However, things take a turn for the worse when Sandoval catches wind.
“I talked to Ann today. Sheâs so cute. She had this suit on and she brought her resume,” Madix tells Katie Maloney. “I was like, ‘Look, in the future, maybe. But I feel like right now, [Sandoval] could potentially be very petty, be very vindictive.’”
She continues, “So then Iâm getting ready to leave and sheâs in the kitchen crying because Tom is like coming down on her because he was upstairs eavesdropping.”

In the extended and uncensored version of the episode, which is currently streaming on Peacock, Maddox makes her confessional interview debut as she explains her side of what happened.
“In my panic and sweat, I knocked on Arianaâs door and I was like, ‘I think Iâm getting fired,’” she recalls. “She was so nice. She took my shoulders and was like, ‘Youâre gonna be OK.’ And I was like, ‘Thank you.’ And then I went downstairs to the kitchen to sob.”
Maddox, who is no longer employed by Sandoval, now co-hosts the We Signed an NDA podcast. She has also remained close with Madix, who recently commented, “you are the STAR OF THE SEASON,” on one of her Instagram posts.
And she was not wrong!
Vanderpump Rules airs on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
