There was always an air of mystery regarding Vanderpump Rules star Tom Schwartz and his relationship with Jo Wenberg. Were the two roommates or a couple? The latest season of VPR confirmed the duo were in a situationship fresh off Tom’s divorce from Katie Maloney. This leads to another mystery… did Jo know about Tom Sandoval’s affair before everyone else? Tom was finally ready to spill the tea.
Tom did not cover for Jo
Tom and Jo seemed thick as thieves on Pump Rules. The two went everywhere together, from boating in the park, attending dating events, and going on a trip with Sandoval and Rachel Leviss. So it was only natural for the cast to question if Jo knew about Scandoval before everyone else. That being Sandoval’s affair with Rachel after his decade-long relationship with Ariana Madix.
When Lala Kent met up for hotdogs with Jo, she straight up asked her if she had known about the affair. Jo denied any knowledge as she only had eyes for Tom. Besides, she had assumed Sandoval and Ariana had already broken up. The whole situation seemed sus.
Jo’s answers weren’t solid enough to persuade everyone she didn’t know. Leave it to Andy Cohen to crack the case! Andy had Tom and Kristen Doute on Watch What Happens Live, and Andy grilled Tom on the subject matter.
During a segment called “Go Your Jo Way,” Andy asked Tom all things Jo. Tom admitted he loved Jo’s “zany” energy, and their relationship slash situationship was fun while it lasted. Then it got tense. Andy asked Tom if he stood by Jo not knowing about Sandoval and Rachel since they had all gone to Big Bear together. Drum roll, please!
Tom did not cover for Jo. He stated, “She knew what they told her.” Andy looked confused and Kristen interjected, “She knew.” Tom clarified, “As far as she was concerned, Tom and Ariana were breaking up.” Leave it to Kristen to come in for the assist. Mystery solved!
Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
