Career

Early in her career, she was frequently cast in videos for comedy website CollegeHumor. Madix struggled to get television roles in New York City, so she decided to move to Los Angeles, saying: "I was doing acting stuff, but I couldn't push past whatever  because I didn't have legitimate television credits or anything to be able to move into the next level." She started working at Lisa Vanderpump's restaurants SUR and Villa Blanca, which earned her a spot on the reality television series Vanderpump Rules in 2013, following the lives of the SUR, PUMP, and Villa Blanca servers.

She had guest roles on several television series, including Fox's live-action sitcom Dads and FX's sitcom Anger Management. She also appeared in films Working It Out (2010), Killer Eye: Halloween Haunt (2011), Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader (2012), Dirty Dealing 3D (2018) and Dead End (2019). In 2019, she appeared as herself in the comedy television series The Other Two, in the episode "Chase Shoots a Music Video". On December 3, 2019, Madix and Tom Sandoval released their cocktail book Fancy AF Cocktails: Drink Recipes from a Couple of Professional Drinkers by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

In March 2023, Madix began filming Lifetime film Buying Back My Daughter (2023) in Vancouver. She plays a police officer Karen, investigating a sex trafficking case. The film is part of the messaging of the network's "Stop Violence Against Women" campaign. On June 7, 2023, People published first photos of Madix as Karen on Buying Back My Daughter. For her role on Vanderpump Rules, Madix and her co-stars Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney and Lala Kent won the "Best Reality On-Screen Team" award at the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards. On July 7, 2023, Dancing with the Stars judge Derek Hough announced on Good Morning America that Madix will appear on season 32 of ABC's dance competition series Dancing with the Stars. On July 11, 2023, streaming service Peacock announced that Madix will make a special guest appearance on the fifth season of Love Island. She headed to Fiji to surprise the new cast of ten singles during week two of the show, which aired daily starting July 18, 2023.

On August 18, 2023, Madix announced that her second cocktailbook, Single AF Cocktails, will be released on December 5, 2023 by Clarkson Potter, an imprint of the Crown Publishing Group.
