Nicole Weingart/Bravo Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz in "Vanderpump Rules" season 10.
“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave criticized “Vanderpump Rules” star Tom Schwartz in the April 13 episode of her podcast, “Two Ts In A Pod,” co-hosted by “Real Housewives of Orange County” personality Tamra Judge. While recording the podcast episode, Arroyave and Judge discussed his behavior in “Vanderpump Rules” season 10, episode 10.
In the episode, Schwartz interrupted his now ex-wife, Katie Maloney’s sushi dinner with Kristina Kelly during the night of Scheana Shay’s August 2022 wedding. Maloney shared she was still upset with him for kissing their castmate Raquel Leviss because he “promised” he would not get romantically involved with their friends. Schwartz responded that it should not matter to Maloney as they had already been separated “for almost seven months.” When she told him that she has “hatred” for him, he replied, “It sucks that you hold onto so much toxicity and negativity.” He also informed her that her “feelings can be exhausting.” After she called him “a drunk” and “a loser,” Schwartz stated, “This does not affect me at all because I don’t give a f*** anymore.”
Arroyave shared she believes Schwartz should have refrained from attempting to have a conversation with Maloney during her dinner.
“No one is focusing on how disastrous of a situation it was with Tom Schwartz and Raquel and Katie. Like why did he need to go seek out Katie and say to her — why provoke her at this point? You’ve just made out with Raquel clearly — like let her eat her d**** sushi. He even took a bite of her sushi. Quit trying to be the cute, funny, nice guy,” said the RHOBH alum.
The former “Celebrity Big Brother” contestant also shared she took issue with Schwartz because she believes he has been hiding behind a friendly facade.
“Don’t try to be cute when you are being an a******. Just say ‘I’m an a***** and I felt like it and it felt good and I’m not married to you anymore, so I can do what I want, so go kick rocks.’ I’m fine with that. But don’t try to be beloved when you are being a d***,” said the 41-year-old.

During a February 2023 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” alongside Tom Sandoval, Schwartz discussed his divorce. He shared he does not believe he will be able to reconcile with his ex-wife, who he officially divorced in October 2022. He explained that once Maloney revealed she wanted to break up “it felt like a nail in the coffin.”
“I just knew it from her tone like the look on her face, I just felt it in my soul that it was just done,” said the “Vanderpump Rules” star.
He also shared that he believed he and Maloney “are in a pretty good place.”
“We have joint custody of the dogs, Gordo and Butter, I love them very much so we talk maybe once, twice a week,” said Schwartz.
