Tom Schwartz let a long-standing secret slip during Tuesday’s episode of Vanderpump Rules.
The owner of TomTom walked away with Lala Kent and, when discussing Tom SandovalIn this case, he observed that everyone in the group made mistakes. Especially him, he said, as he once locked his lips with Scheana Shay.
“I hooked up with Scheana 12 years ago in Las Vegas,” Tom confessed. “Nobody knows that. It was a long time ago. It was the most innocuous thing ever.”
Tom said the kiss happened during a “difficult time” with his now ex-wife, Katie Maloneybefore noting that he and Scheana discussed the situation not long ago.
“This popped into my head the other day. At the end of last year, we were at a party around the holidays and she said, ‘Do you remember when we…’ And I said, ‘We kissed, right?'” He remembered. “We kind of kissed.”
As for whether Katie was aware of the kiss, Tom revealed she didn’t know, before commenting: “Ah, shit.”
“We’re all human. We all mess up sometimes. This is the summer of forgiveness,” he told cameras.
Katie didn’t quite agree with that assessment when Lala told her about the kiss shortly after.
“What the fuck? Are you kidding me? I just have so many questions,” Katie said in a confessional. “When was this? Where exactly was this? Was this around the time that Schwartz said he went to Las Vegas and hooked up with one of Scheana’s friends? Was it really, in fact, Scheana? There are so many lies in this group. It’s hard to keep track .”
When the group met to james kennedyAt the DJ show, Katie broached the subject with Scheana.
“Me and Ariana were there with my mom and her sister for the cheerleading competition, like, in high school. And Schwartz pulls me into the corner and kisses me,” she said, adding that she was engaged to her now ex-husband, Mike Shay, at the time.
Scheana insisted that the moment was “not a kiss,” but rather an attempted kiss.
“I wanted to pretend this never happened. I never told Shay. I never told my mom. I never told my best friends,” Scheana told the cameras. “Plus, I never would have told Katie, especially back then because the bitch is scary. This was peak Tequila. Katie hates Scheana days. Her man wanted me in Las Vegas and kissed me. Like, no. Never.
The part that seemed to bother Katie the most about the situation was that Scheana and Tom joked about it recently, an allegation that the singer denied.
“I may have (said), ‘Oh yeah, you’re a make-out whore. You tried on me once,’” Scheana said, before explaining that she never brought up the situation to protect Katie.
“I’d like to know,” Katie replied. In a confessional, Katie added, “I expected something like this from Schwartz, but Scheana had literally years to tell me about it. Someday I will be fully able to trust or be close to Scheana.”
Katie didn’t let her ex-husband get away either; she confronted him face to face about the situation, before bringing up the subject again in front of Lisa Vanderpump It is Ken Todd.
“Didn’t we just resolve this? Why is Katie bringing this up again?” Tom questioned in a confessional. “She’s like (our dog) Gordo when she gets a bone, man. I just don’t let it go.”
When Tom lamented the situation to Scheana’s husband, Brock DaviesBrock told cameras that “Katie needs to get off her high horse, because I know for a fact that there are some real double standards going on.”
These double standards? The fact that Katie spent the night with Max Boyens, one of Tom’s closest friends.
“This has all the telltale signs of a revenge outburst,” Tom said in a confessional.
When ET spoke to the cast at the show’s season premiere, everyone reacted to the earlier kiss.
For his part, Tom admitted to his bad behavior, telling ET, “It’s weird because, in my opinion, I’m not problematic, I’m so chill, but honestly, I need to take some responsibility. , I used to deal terribly with my relationship problems, copious amounts of alcohol, throwing caution to the wind. I’ll be honest, I was a bit of an idiot, to be honest. I’m not proud of how I used to cope myself.”
Meanwhile, Katie noted that “it takes a lot to really shock me at this point,” and Scheana insisted that the illicit kiss “didn’t cause any rifts” with Katie.
Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays on Bravo.
