Liev Schreiber shades Ariana Madix’s New York Times profile: ‘Is this news?’

Reality TV

Liev Schreiber felt the wrath of the Bravoverse after shading “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix’s New York Times profile.

“Is this news?” the “Spotlight” star wrote in a since-deleted comment Thursday on the newspaper’s Instagram post promoting the interview.

#TeamAriana fans immediately clapped back at Schreiber — including Madix’s friend and “Fancy Af Cocktails” co-writer Danny Pellegrino, who called the actor his “arch nemesis.”

“@dannypellegrino sincere apology to you and Ms. Madix. Didn’t realize I was in entertainment section,” Schreiber, 55, replied, prompting the “Everything Iconic” podcast host to accept the mea culpa.

“All in good fun!” Pellegrino responded. “But happy to have you off the nemesis list & hopefully we can get you into Vanderpump Rules! This season is good as gold.”

Others were less forgiving and flocked to the comments sections of the “Scream” star’s own Instagram posts to write, “Is this news?”

Schreiber has since limited the ability to comment on his page.

Madix, 37, has not addressed the Emmy nominee’s shade, but she does not seem too bothered by haters lately while living it up in New York City.

The reality star has been on a press tour — with stops at the “Today” show and “The View” Thursday — after the “Vanderpump Rules” Season 10 finale showed the aftermath of her ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval getting caught having a months-long affair with one of her closest friends, Raquel Leviss.

In addition to speaking out about the dalliance, dubbed Scandoval, Madix has been busy spending time with her new beau, Daniel Wai.

Sources told Page Six exclusively that the lovebirds packed on the PDA Thursday night while on a double date with Madix’s co-stars Scheana Shay and Brock Davies at Cathédrale in the Moxy East Village.

The Something About Her co-owner and Wai, a NYC-based personal trainer, met at a wedding just days after she learned about the affair and dumped her boyfriend of nine years.

Since the show was not being filmed at the time, Bravo picked up cameras and taped a new finale that documented the fallout of Scandoval — including a heated confrontation between the now-exes, Sandoval hyperventilating and the bar owner, 40, and Leviss, 28, professing their love for each other.

The three-part “Vanderpump Rules” reunion begins airing next Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
