Tom and Raquel’s kiss

Tom says ‘he did nothing wrong’

Episode 11 sees Katie Maloney collect their dogs from Tom Schwartz‘s apartment.

After she picked up their pooches, Katie headed out and Schwartz called Tom Sandoval to talk about her swift visit.

Speaking to Sandoval on the phone, Schwartz said: “I’m just calling you because Katie left right away. I did nothing wrong.”

Sandoval replies: “I don’t really see what you did wrong, you’re a single guy who got broken up with.”

Sandoval added that everyone was “on vacation,” and “letting loose” when the kiss happened.

Vanderpump Rules star says Katie is overreacting

Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz announced their split in the Spring of 2022.

The pair got married in 2019 and were divorced by the end of 2022. They began dating back in 2011.

After the news of his kiss with Raquel Leviss reached Katie, things were clearly frosty between the pair.

Schwartz said: “By my approximation, Katie might be blowing this kiss more out of proportion than anything in the history of our relationship. It kind of feels like she feels that I cheated on her. She’s more upset than when I actually did cheat on her.”
