Vanderpump Rules: Katie Maloney slams Raquel and Tom
Vanderpump Rules reached the verge of blowing up during its latest episode after Tom Schwartz and Raquel Leviss shared a kiss during Scheana Shay’s wedding celebrations. In the new episode – filmed before it emerged Raquel had been having a months-long affair with Tom Sandoval – Raquel and Schwartz made revellers jaw drop by sharing a kiss in front of everyone.
Schwartz, who at the time was embracing single life once more after his divorce from Katie Maloney, and Raquel had dinner together when they leaned across the table and shared a kiss.
Later, they disappeared somewhere quieter for another make-out session.
The news went down like a ton of bricks with Maloney and the rest of the gang.
Eventually, Lala Kent spoke up and confronted Raquel for her behaviour, resulting in an explosive argument.
Pulling Raquel aside at Scheana’s wedding to Brock Davies, Lala declared: “You know what I think? I think that your self-worth comes from approval of a man, which is very sad to me.”
To further twist the knife she added she feared Raquel would need some “love and support” as she’s on the “verge of a mental breakdown”.
Raquel attempted to defend herself, and said: “I always need love and support and I appreciate the people that give it to me.”
But Lala quickly fired back: “No, you appreciate people who bob their head and tell you that everything is good.”
Lala and Raquel have become known to butt heads, with previous incidents during a drunk night out resulting in Lala being dubbed by her former pal a “mistress bimbo”.
Raquel later apologised for the outburst but added she felt like she was being “judged” by other girls in the group.
But things came to a head when Raquel suggested Lala “get a hobby” as she “always seemed to be talking about her.
Jumping to her friend Katie’s defence, Lala shot back: “A hobby, b***h? I don’t care about this.

“What I do care about is how you’ve affected my friend. I think it’s gross, I think it’s dirty.
“I think it’s disgusting and I think you need to go find yourself elsewhere. Be prepared.”
But as it turns out, the kiss between Schwartz and Raquel proved to become the spark that ignited a major scandal amid the Vanderpump Rules gang.
In the development dubbed “Scandoval”, it emerged in March this year Schwartz’s best friend Tom Sandoval had split from longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix after a months-long affair with Raquel.
Sandoval and Madix had been dating for nine years at the time of the incident, causing fans to speculate Rachel’s kiss with Schwartz was an attempt at the pair covering up what was actually going on.
Schwartz and Sandoval are also business partners, and viewers believe Schwartz was aware of what was going on.
Bravo cameras had to scramble to get any of the fallout on film, as the truth emerged away from the cast’s filming window.
It’s expected the scenes will air before the end of this season.
Vanderpump Rules airs Wednesdays on Bravo in the US, and is available internationally on HayU.
