Vanderpump Rules star Tom Schwartz was a disaster the last time he appeared on Watch What Happens Live. He revealed that Tom Sandoval told him in January 2023 that he “was in love” with Rachel Leviss. Schwartz urged Sandoval to inform his actual girlfriend, Ariana Madix. Sandoval allegedly told his best friend that he had a plan to tell Ariana. Of course, that never happened. But then, Rachel spilled some tea about Schwartz and the timeline of Scandoval.
In her podcast, Rachel Goes Rogue, Rachel claimed that Schwartz knew about her affair with Sandoval from the jump. “Schwartz knew since the very beginning,” Rachel shared. That blew Sandoval’s timeline out of the water. And some of his Pump Rules co-stars, including his ex-wife, Katie Maloney, weren’t amused.
Schwartz mumbles on about the Scandoval timeline
During the WWHL After Show, some fans from a VPR viewing party had a question for Schwartz. Buckle up, everyone. “Hi, Schwartzy! What is your response to Rachel saying on her new podcast that you knew about her affair with Sandoval from the very beginning?”
Schwartz replied, “I mean, I haven’t listened to it. But you know, like I said, I’ve been singing the same song. I knew, I knew, I knew, and even when I didn’t know, I pretty much knew,” he stated. “It’s yeah. Yeah.” Then he sipped his beer. What does that even mean?
A brand new Schwartz?
“Okay, We’ll leave it there,” a merciful Andy Cohen said. But the host wants to see a stronger, less nervous Schwartz at the Season 11 Pump Rules reunion. “And Schwartz, I want you to get yourself together,” Andy said. “Thank you, Andy. I appreciate that,” Schwartz responded. “In the best way,” Andy added.
“I’m stepping into my power right now,” Schwartz stated. “Good. I want to see that from you at the reunion,” the host remarked. “Because, by the way, you know, I mean you’ve got your ex-wife there. She’s on you. You know, you’ve got some people that are on you. Wouldn’t you surprise them if you … if you matched their energy?”
Could it happen? Could Schwartz lose his puppy dog persona?
“Can I consult you privately?” Schwartz asked Andy. “I just gave you all the advice I have,” Andy responded.
It will be interesting to see if there is a new and improved Schwartz at the reunion. Somehow, I doubt it.
Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules continues on Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
