'ran' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'after vandalising monet dad and i' is the wordplay.
'after vandalising' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'monet'+'dad'='monetdad'
'monetdad' after 'i' is 'imonetdad'.
'imonetdad' anagrammed gives 'DOMINATED'.

(Another definition for dominated that I've seen is " Was the boss".)
