Former Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City Star Jen Shah Allegedly Owes Her Lawyer $124K

Who told Jen Shah’s lawyer it was a good idea not to get money from her upfront? The former Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star allegedly owes her attorney an eye-watering $124,000. Something tells me that the prison play Jen is producing won’t cover that bill. Perhaps it will fall on her husband Coach Shah to pay. Definitely NOT “Shah-mazing!”

According to Page Six, Jen’s lawyer Priya Chaudhry has filed court documents. The documents reveal that Jen never made a $50,000 legal fee payment, along with $74,422.95 in other expenses. It’s not the first time a team of attorneys has thrown their hands up in despair after working with Jen. She may be sharing a cell inside, but she’s not out of the woods yet.

Jen hasn’t commented on this matter yet. And Priya didn’t respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The lawyer had previously tried to drop Jen as a client. At the time of writing, she is waiting for a decision. According to Jen’s attorney, there had been a breach of contract. In court papers filed in March 2023, she leveled the accusation that both Jen and Coach had “repeatedly promised to pay these outstanding amounts.” That money supposedly never came. Maybe that’s because not enough was donated by Jen’s fellow cast members.

Personally, I wouldn’t ever want to work with Jen. She has proven herself to be a liar time and again. She turns on those who are supposedly the closest to her on a dime. Even Watch What Happens Live and reunion host Andy Cohen thinks she gave her castmate Heather Gay the infamous black eye. If that doesn’t scream “STAY AWAY FROM HER!” I don’t know what does. Still, Heather seemed to want to stick by her side. Due to her loyalty, many think that there has to be more to the story.

Vanderpump Rules Star Tom Schwartz Admits Kissing Raquel Leviss Wasn’t “Worth It”

At times, Tom Schwartz stands by his conviction. The normally amiable and non-confrontational Vanderpump Rules star only ever spoke out to suggest his ex-wife consider someone else’s point of view. He even stayed soft on his bestie, Tom Sandoval, in light of his affair with Raquel Leviss.

But Tom can now say for sure that the kiss with Raquel wasn’t worth the fallout. This despite saying he had no regrets in a previous interview. Namely, breaking Katie Maloney’s request that he not date within the friend group. It was a pact they made after their split in March 2022. Seven months later, the divorce was finalized in October.

People reported that Schwartz made the revelation while appearing on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “In hindsight, I don’t think it was [worth it],” Schwartz explained to Andy Cohen while in the clubhouse. “I never wanted to hurt Katie. The fallout I got, the blowback I got from that kiss, my God!”

Some VPR fans suggested Raquel pursued Schwartz as a cover-up for her affair with Sandoval. The Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner denied that it was anything but genuine. “I just feel like there was so much of a buildup. The chemistry was building,” Schwartz said of Raquel. “… It wasn’t planned, it wasn’t a decoy kiss. It was a real kiss.”

Raquel echoed a similar sentiment. Last month, she told TMZ, “I genuinely had an interest in Tom Schwartz and there’s a genuine curiosity there, so it wasn’t a cover-up.”

The pair hooked up on the most recent episode of Vanderpump Rules. Bravo filmed the kiss in August 2022. Raquel set up a candlelit table on the opposite side of the pool from where Scheana Shay was hosting her entire wedding guest list.

Raquel laid the foundation prior to Scheana’s destination wedding by asking Schwartz if she could kiss him at a cast event. As Schwartz approached the setup, he asked, “This is a romantic table. Raquel, what is this? Are you seducing me?”

“Why, do you feel seduced?” Raquel said, with a twinkle in her eye. Schwartz answered, “A little bit actually.” With the cheers of Scheana’s guests in the background, the pair looked to be getting cozy. Schwartz noted how much the bride pushed him to kiss Raquel.

“I’m so annoyed by what people have done to try and coerce us into making out. I kinda just want to do it now,” Schwartz said. A delighted Raquel answered, “Schwartz! When did you come to this realization?”

“Raquel, you’re f—ing gorgeous. You’re beautiful,” Schwartz added. “It was never even a thing. Katie made it a thing and now you’re forbidden fruit.” The former beauty pageant contestant agreed, “She made it more of a thing than anything, and now I just can’t stop thinking about it.”

While filming the confessional for the episode, Raquel again made it clear that her interest in Schwartz was genuine. “There’s a lot of things that attracted me to Schwartz. He is so sweet, kind. Love his sense of humor. My attraction for Schwartz definitely outweighs my desire to be friends with Katie,” she said.

That was the buildup to the kiss. In the next scene, Schwartz and Raquel lean over the table for the infamous smooch. Scheana’s guests cheered the duo. While at the WWHL clubhouse, Schwartz shared when he learned about Sandoval’s affair with Raquel.

“I learned in August, in late August about the affair, the one-night stand — allegedly,” he revealed. “There was a lot of grey area there.” Schwartz spoke to the nature of the affair. He opined, “From my point of view, it became, like, an emotional affair — which is still inappropriate.”

The Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner had to walk back this statement. He was previously quoted saying he did not find out about the affair until early in 2023. “In January, Tom came to me … and he told me that he was in love with Raquel. I was flabbergasted,” Schwartz clarified.

Andy also asked Tom if he would have kissed Raquel if the cameras weren’t rolling. The duo was at a Sandoval & The Most Extras gig when she propositioned Schwartz for a kiss. Schwartz answered, “Yes.”

Lala Kent Disses Tom Schwartz For Begging Vanderpump Rules Fans To Hug Tom Sandoval

Vanderpump Rules Season 10 feels like a step above must-watch TV. Every Wednesday night feels like the Super Bowl. Especially when Andy Cohen hosts a SURver on Watch What Happens Live right after to break down the episode. For some godforsaken reason, Tom Schwartz was the latest VPR star to appear on WWHL. The only preparation he seemed to do was buying wrist weights, but even that didn’t stop him from nervously touching his face. It just proves Mr. Schwartz really can’t follow through on anything.

Schwartz needs media training ASAP. Like, for real some serious reality TV boot camp. He has a history of digging himself into a hole on Pump Rules and trying to “Aww shucks” his way out of it. In the days of #Scandoval, that ain’t gonna work anymore. Tom Sandoval also proved that no men on VPR are worth trusting by cheating on Ariana Madix for months with Raquel Leviss.

Schwartzy is almost just as bad after revealing he knew for a while about Sandoval and Rachel. Like, why would you even admit that at this point? Does Schwartz even want to try and salvage his businesses with Sandoval? His behavior is one of life’s greatest mysteries that I truly have no interest in solving.

One of the most egregious moments from Schwartzy’s WWHL appearance is when he begged Pump Rules fans who run into Sandoval in public to hug him. No seriously, he thought that would be a good way to get the fans on his side. That’s like asking any of his co-stars to attend a Raquel-hosted puppy party in April 2023. It’s just a lost cause. Lala Kent couldn’t contain her rage at Schwartz’s ridiculous WWHL appearance. According to Page Six, she offered her own alternative for how she’d handle running into Sandoval in public.

Lala essentially said she would “Atomic wedgie … his ass” and go off “punching him straight in the d–k.” No wonder the VPR reunion was so hostile. Lala made the statement in an impromptu Instagram Story video. Her mom agreed that Sandoval might be the one person who deserves that kind of treatment these days. Even Lauren from Utah’s Mama doesn’t like you, Sandoval. That’s a new low.

Katie Maloney also chimed in on her ex-husband’s stupid call to action on WWHL. “You’re the only one that wants to hug him dude,” Katie tweeted. “READ THE ROOM!!!” All I know is that Katie must be so vindicated that she finally divorced this lame man. The Toms truly do deserve each other.

New Spinoff Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard Trailer Drops

The Summer House universe is expanding — again! Bravo just announced an all-new edition of Summer House. The new series is Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard and the trailer promises “Black excellence,” drinking, and drama.

Us Weekly covered all of the details of the upcoming show, and the trailer checks all the boxes. There’s a humongous house, glamorous ladies, hunky guys, juicy drama, and a super cute dog. What more could we want from a non-Housewives show on Bravo?

The new Summer House spinoff follows newlyweds Jasmine Ellis Cooper and her husband, Silas Cooper. They join their friends in a gigantic house for a summer full of shenanigans. If you’re unfamiliar with Martha’s Vineyard and why Bravo would decide to set up shop there, Jasmine explains in the trailer, “If you don’t know, Black excellence is Martha’s Vineyard and Martha’s Vineyard is Black excellence.”

Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts has been a place for Black excellence for years. The press release announcing the show stated, “For more than 100 years, Black vacationers have flocked to Martha’s Vineyard, an island south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and one of the first beach destinations where African Americans could vacation and purchase property.” Now, it’s the new home to a Bravo show. The press release continued, “With beach parties, decadent dinners, and summer hookups, both fun and drama are in store for these young Black professionals and entrepreneurs.”

With such a historic past, Martha’s Vineyard might seem too pristine of a locale for a rowdy reality show like Summer House, but these new Bravolebrities seem ready to clown. The trailer shows them drinking, streaking, and doing all the wild things we want to see from our reality stars. One of the new housemates quipped in the trailer, “This is what the ancestors wanted.”

In addition to the newlyweds, Jasmine and Silas, the Martha’s Vineyard crew includes Nicholas “Nick” Arrington, Preston Mitchum, Mariah Torres, Bria Fleming, Alex Tyree, Jordan Emanuel, Shanice Henderson, Amir Lancaster, Jason Lyke, Summer Marie Thomas, and a dog named Milo. This group has been friends for years. But, the trailer teases that they’ll throw it all down the drain for reality TV. It also looks like Milo plans on pooping everywhere he’s not supposed to.

“Friendship and marriage are going to butt heads,” Jasmine remarked in the trailer, along with a few clips of several late-night confrontations. Spoiler alert: the honeymoon phase isn’t going well.

We’ve only seen a 2-minute clip, but Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard has all the makings to be Bravo’s next big hit. Let’s see what they’ve got when the new series premieres Sunday, May 7, 2023.

Check out the trailer below!

Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 3 Episode 5 Recap: Gizelle Bryant Creates Chaos With A Game Of Clase Azul Clue

Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip feels like a reality TV version of The White Lotus. As the concierge, Pepsi so eloquently put it, “How many days more?” It feels like the Thailand vacation is one big fever dream filled with fighting and elephant dung. It’s also jarring to watch the chaos go down in what looks like a literal PALACE that the ladies are staying in.

The latest episode of RHUGT centered all around Gizelle Bryant acting like a fool. “Her” bottle of tequila went missing and she verbally flipped the house upside down trying to get to the bottom of it. It only made Gizzy’s Real Housewives of Potomac co-star Candiace Dillard Bassett more irritated with her, which resulted in some A+ confessional shade from Miss CandeePants. Here are five takeaways from the latest RHUGT episode “Oh Bottle, Where Art Thou?”

Leah’s Near-Death Experience

Leah McSweeney might have thought it was a shady name at first, but there’s no better way to describe her RHUGT experience than, “Poor Leah.” None of the other girls besides Candiace really cared to give Leah the time of day. The rest of the ladies wrote her off after she called Alexia Nepola’s life story boring. She also let everyone know at least 50 times that she was on her period during the trip. And had problems going to the bathroom. It was TMI times 1,000. No wonder Gizelle renamed her “Nasty Leah.”

Leah’s luck got even worse in this episode when Pepsi took the ladies on a shopping trip in Phuket. Leah kept complaining about how hot she was, which seemed overly dramatic until she collapsed in the middle of a souvenir store. Leah was a little extra when she said she thought she was going to die even though it seems she didn’t even lose consciousness. But the 91-degree heat was no joke. The worst part is that when medics tried to take care of Leah, she revealed she wasn’t wearing underwear. Yeah, and we all know she was on period so you can just let that sink in. Leah did get to skip out on group activities and lounge around in the air conditioning, so maybe it was a blessing in disguise. If you asked Gizelle and Porsha Williams, they believed it was Leah’s plan all along to play the victim and get out of hanging with her new roomies all day. See, these girls just do NOT like Leah.

Heather’s Star Plummeted So Quickly

There are few Real Housewives stars who started out as strong and whose stardom fell as quickly as Heather Gay. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star was a gem when she made her TV debut, but it went left quickly (partially due to the Jen Shah of it all). Heather spent the majority of her time on RHUGT fighting with her cousin Whitney Rose about the same issues they always have. And saying things she should really think about keeping to herself.

This week, Heather stayed consistent with delivering at least one cringy line per episode. She made a joke about the ladies only getting along when shopping is involved, which would’ve been a cute little laugh. As usual, she took it too far. “These are my favorite subjects: Capitalism and exploiting Third World boutiques,” she quipped. Someone get this girl a media coach or something because she needs to just STOP TALKING sometimes. Heather also showed off her lame side when Gizelle confronted her at a lunch, but Heather chose to wait until she was alone in a van with Whitney and Candiace to talk smack.

Heather claimed she almost pulled a Teresa Giudice table flip on Gizelle, which was not the vibe anyone else was getting. When Whitney called her out on it, Heather doubled down that she likes to be liked. She literally admitted in a confessional that she was secretly happy when Gizelle confronted her because it was like when the mean popular girl at school gives you attention. It’s reading pathetic and Heather should watch this RHUGT season and do some serious self-reflecting.

Gizelle Plays Clase Azul Clue

The reason Gizelle was hot and bothered toward Heather and the rest of the group came down to her bottle of Clase Azul tequila. Gizelle made a big deal on the entire trip that it was so hard for her to locate her favorite bottle of tequila in Thailand, so she didn’t want anyone else messing with it. Once she realized it was missing, she went on a full-out mission to figure out who did it. She blamed Heather at first but didn’t count out others like Marysol Patton as suspects. Everyone ultimately agreed to let Gizelle search their rooms for the bottle, besides Candiace who was not entertaining the foolishness. As she should NOT.

As Candiace later put it, Gizelle acted like a Karen. She stressed Pepsi out to the point of tears by making him look for the bottle. She demanded that producers go into CandeeGal’s room and search her suitcases against her will. Like I get not wanting people to take your things, but this was next-level. It’s not like it was a diamond necklace — it was a bottle of tequila. “Sweetheart are Jamal Bryant’s alimony checks not cashing fast enough?” Candiace joked about Gizelle being so pressed about a bottle of booze. It was another case of Gizelle doing way too much and ending up looking like the clown in the end. Hey, let’s hope at least Clase Azul will give her a brand deal for giving them so much screen time.

Porsha Is The Ultimate Instigator

The only person who backed up Gizelle in her search for the tequila bottle was Miss Porsha. And we all could tell it was just because Porsha loves watching a mess go down. It was also why there was more drama between Porsha and CandeeGal in the episode. Leah and Candiace realized on the trip that Porsha posted a group photo of the RHUGT cast but only didn’t tag the two of them in the photo. It seemed like a classic case of frivolous nonsense, but Porsha tried to act coy about the situation. “Porsha is an imposter. She acts like she’s dumb,” Candiace said. Boy, she’s not wrong.

Candiace confronted Porsha about the Instagram tagging situation at lunch and Porsha just kept it even pettier. She basically said that she just doesn’t like Leah, even though Porsha and Leah haven’t had a major fight thus far on the trip. “I’m living rent-free in her head for some reason. What am I doing,” Leah genuinely asked when she learned that Porsha didn’t want to be her friend. Porsha went as far as to say Candiace was having a temper tantrum and called Candiace “PJ,” which is Porsha’s daughter’s name. Now, Candiace was trying to say that Porsha’s IG post was an act of cyberbullying, which was a reach. But Porsha knew damn well what she was doing, especially when she accused Leah and Candiace of being upset because they wanted some of her followers.

Ratata Candiace Arrived In Thailand

Gizelle’s tequila nonsense and Porsha’s petty Instagram posts were the last ingredients to bring Ratata Candiace to Thailand. Luckily, Candiace found a legal weed store on the island to try to calm herself down for the remainder of the trip. However, it didn’t stop her from getting heated when arguing with Porsha. “You wanted problems so I’ll give you problems,” Candiace said about Porsha. It’s clear Porsha and Candiace have deep-rooted beef. But it is funny for Porsha to yell at Candiace for always screaming and yelling when Porsha has been known to turn up a bit when getting into arguments with her co-stars for YEARS. Like, all of the girls try to make it a whole thing that Candiace is so loud. All I have to say is it’s hard for me to think of any Real Housewives star who has EVER been known for being quiet. BLOOP.

Candiace also reached her breaking point with Gizelle, who was already on thin ice with her RHOP enemy from Day 1. Candiace was so over Gizelle insinuating that she was a thief. Thankfully, the argument resulted in some amazing one-liners from Candiace. “I want nothing from you,” she said about Gizelle. “You have nothing to offer but long necks and stove pipe legs.” God, her comebacks get me every time. No one can deliver a read like CandeeGal.

Real Housewives Of New Jersey Star Dolores Catania Admits To Taking Ozempic; Says “I Got On The Bandwagon”

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania shocked fans by admitting she’s taken Ozempic. Hopefully, this won’t lead to Margaret Josephs calling her a “disheveled drug addict,” the claim she leveled at Jennifer Aydin earlier this season.

Dolores explained her decision on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Page Six has the details. She said she hopped on the “bandwagon” and had been using semaglutide for six weeks, to aid with weight loss. Dolores added that “not one” of the RHONJ cast has avoided the drug.

Pointing the blame elsewhere she said, “I wasn’t going to come to the reunion looking any bigger than anyone else, so I got on the bandwagon.” Dolores also clarified that she was taking “another part” of the Ozempic branch called “Mounjaro.” For clarity, these are not typically weight loss pills. Both Mounjaro and Ozempic are properly used as prescription drugs to treat Type 2 diabetes. There have even been shortages of the drugs to treat those with the condition, according to CNN.

Real Housewives of Miami veteran Marysol Patton also appeared on WWHL, and said that Mounjaro was “the fast forward to Skinnyville.” She labeled it as the “amped-up version” of Ozempic. This is one weight loss fad that is taking the Real Housewives world by storm, much to the disappointment of Jackie Goldschneider.

While Dolores prides herself on “telling the truth,” viewers were not impressed. A Twitter user called her admission “unhealthy and triggering.” Another follower seemed to defend the move, however, and said, “They are on TV, heavily scrutinized for their appearance, of course they’d take a weight loss peptide if available.”

TELL US – ARE YOU SHOCKED ABOUT DOLORES’ CONFESSION, OR DID YOU EXPECT IT? DO YOU BELIEVE THE OTHER RHONJ STARS ARE TAKING OZEMPIC? SHOULD ANY REALITY STAR BE JUDGED FOR WHAT THEY DO TO FEEL MORE CONFIDENT ON TV?

Real Housewives Of New Jersey Newbies Danielle Cabral And Rachel Fuda Break Down The End Of Their Short-Lived Friendship

Thankfully, Real Housewives of New Jersey introduced a few new girls into the Season 13 cast to break up from the Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga hamster wheel. Sure, I love watching the Gorgas fight as much as the next fan but sometimes, it’s just too damn much. The two full-time additions are Rachel Fuda and Danielle Cabral. They’re both over-the-top moms with young daughters, but that’s about the end of their similarities.

Danielle and Rachel hit it off when they first entered the RHONJ scene. However, it was short-lived once the other ladies started meddling in their business. The two newbies have been fighting in recent episodes about some “coffee talk” about Margaret Josephs. Danielle thinks Rachel was stirring the pot by telling Marge she was talking smack about her. Rachel, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to understand where the anger is coming from. Girl, I know we all barely know Danielle, but it’s obvious she’s not a bear you want to poke. Period.

During a recent RHONJ: After Show, both Danielle and Rachel gave their individual, and very different, sides of the story to explain the breakdown of their friendship. According to Bravo’s The Daily Dish, Danielle is holding onto the idea that she was just engaging in “coffee talk” rather than talking smack. Danielle said, “I was like, ‘Wow, who the f–k are you?’ Holy s–t. Totally different Rachel than what I was used to. I thought we were girls.” Again, Danielle might be new but I’m already reading her quotes in her Staten Island accent. That’s the sign of an icon in the making.

Rachel explained that she didn’t mean to make Marge’s arsenal such a big issue. She added that she apologized, so she’s not sure why Danielle won’t just own what she said. Rachel tried to throw Danielle under the bus for talking about Jennifer Aydin and Tre, which seemed like a reach. Danielle can hold her own. However, Rachel is much harder to read. Rachel is playing the middle ground in her new group of friends, and you can’t blame an RHONJ newbie for taking the safe approach.

Danielle will speak her mind at the drop of a hat and she’s also #TeamTre all the way. While I don’t really have a stake in this absolutely minuscule fight, I am enjoying the RHONJ newbies, especially Danielle. I have high hopes that she could eventually become the new Tre once it’s time for our star to move on.

Margaret also chimed in on the after-show and just explained that she wants to be invited to the coffee talk. “Why am I not part of the coffee talk?! Why does everyone want to coffee talk behind my back?” she said. OK, Marge, don’t get too excited. Maybe people don’t want to have coffee with you because all you drink is massive amounts of candy-flavored coffee creamer, but that’s just coming from a black coffee purist. Plus, you’re asking Danielle too many questions about her brother so you’re probably one of the last people on her coffee talk list.

Vanderpump Rules Star Tom Schwartz Reveals Tom Sandoval Said He’s “In Love” With Raquel Leviss

I know everyone is growing weary of Scandoval by now. It’s been a little over a month since the Vanderpump Rules scandal rocked the show, the network, and most of North America. Details are still coming out, and cast members remain shocked that Tom Sandoval and ~~Rachel~~ Raquel Leviss’ affair was happening right in front of their faces.

Sandoval’s right-hand man and current mouthpiece was on Watch What Happens Live last night. Whilst wearing wrist-weights to control his face-touching, Tom Schwartz further proved the theory that all Toms are bad. Page Six has the details.

On the bright side, Schwartz did spill some information. But he’s basically the human equivalent of an Etch-a-Sketch and it’s safe to say he’s lacking in the depth department. He did say Sandoval’s relationship with Rachel is the real deal.

Schwartz said, “In January, Tom came to me … and he told me that he was in love with Raquel. I was flabbergasted.” I wonder if Tom loves Raquel as much as he loves his sequined pants collection. Is it possible Raquel returns the love of a man who thinks he’s Neil Diamond but is more Neil Cubic Zirconia?

Tom 2 also touched on the lengthy amount of time his BFF and Raquel cheated under Ariana Madix’s nose saying their relationship became an “open secret.” “After that, I mean, Tom kind of got flagrant — he was brazen,” he added. Then Schwartz dropped the dime that he knew about Tom and Rachel back in August 2022. He claimed the affair began after a one-night stand but turned into an “emotional affair.” Are we all ready?

SURE, JAN! I doubt Schwartz convinced anyone Tom and Raquel only played diddle diddle one time before rerouting their lust into an emotional affair. Schwartz also said Tom is in a midlife crisis up to his neck, which is stating the obvious.

“Tom was having, like, a midlife crisis. I learned in August, in late August about the affair, the one-night stand — allegedly. From my point of view, it became, like, an emotional affair — which is still inappropriate.” Oh, look, standards from the guy who would black out and cheat on his wife. What an emotional breakthrough-said no one.

Andy Cohen tried to squeeze more incriminating information out of Schwartz. But he was a good boy and followed his script. Schwartz will die on the hill of not finding out until January 2023. He also claims he didn’t tell Ariana about Sandoval swinging his thing in Raquel’s direction because Sandy told him not to.

He tries to pin not having a shred of decency on Sandoval. Saying Tom controlled the “narrative that he has broken up with Ariana, or attempted to multiple times — many, many times. And he’s not happy, they’re not healthy, they’re not intimate, blah blah blah.” Schwartz also said Tom did a great job keeping him quiet, which probably only required head pats and Scooby snacks.

“He did a good job of placating me. … And he told me he has a game plan, he’s gonna do the right thing — and then he just kind of continued to kept procrastinate. I’m more upset with Sandoval because he took advantage of my kindness. And he put a lot of people, not just myself, in very compromising situations where our integrity was at stake,” Schwartz explained.

I’m sorry, I’ll need someone to remind me when Schwartz had integrity to be put at risk. He added Tom is addicted to Raquel, but Tom is also addicted to himself. Maybe once Raquel has a critical thinking exercise, she’ll open her eyes and see white nail polish and flared polyester pants at 2 pm on a Tuesday is not the glamorous life she thinks it is.

Vanderpump Rules Star Tom Schwartz Claims Tom Sandoval Is Addicted To Raquel Leviss; Says She’s His “Heroin”

They say that love is like a drug, and Tom Schwartz is taking that literally.

During a bizarre Watch What Happens Live appearance, the Vanderpump Rules star was in the hot seat answering questions about his buddies, Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, and Raquel Leviss. Schwartz tried his best not to look like a blubbering mess, but that didn’t work out well. When discussing the affair, he compared Sandoval’s relationship with Raquel to a heroin addiction. Does that sound a little extreme to anyone else?

Page Six covered the details of Tom’s unusual comparison. “Raquel is Tom’s heroin,” Schwartz casually said during his appearance on WWHL. Andy Cohen appeared to be perplexed the entire time. “He’s addicted,” Schwartz continued. “It’s an infatuation of infatuations.”

Is Schwartz’s comparison a little insensitive? Yes. But, in some ways, there are some similarities. Addiction can make you seem selfish. It can damage your decision-making skills, crumble friendships, and ruin romantic relationships. Sandoval’s tryst with Raquel has done all of the above and then some.

Of course, addiction is clearly more serious and dangerous than an affair between reality stars. Schwartz explained that his comparison wasn’t meant to “minimize” or “disrespect” anyone struggling with addiction. Still, he admitted that his buddy is “lost in the sauce.”

For argument’s sake, let’s continue with the addiction metaphor. If Raquel is Sandoval’s heroin, then he desperately needs an intervention, rehab, and possibly a sit-down with Dr. Drew Pinsky.

The VPR cast did recently sit down for their Season 10 reunion, which is kind of like an intervention. Rumor has it that the cast blew up on Sandoval and Raquel, but the intervention/reunion clearly didn’t work because Sandoval is still making headlines for running around town with Raquel. They even grabbed a bite to eat immediately after the reunion!

On WWHL, Schwartz continued making excuses for his buddy’s addict-like behavior. The Pump Rules star claimed that because Sandoval has ADHD, he became “obsessed” with Raquel. Schwartz is seriously jumping through every hoop to find a clinical reason for this cheating scandal. The excuses aren’t great, but we can’t fault him for his loyalty to his friend.

Whether you think Sandoval’s relationship with Raquel is because of an ADHD obsession or a heroin-like addiction, we can all agree that breaking Ariana’s heart was wrong. This cheating scandal is nothing but problematic. Just say no to having affairs with your castmates!

Vanderpump Rules Season 10 Episode 9 Recap: Wedding Crashers

Well. We started this week’s Vanderpump Rules episode with Tom Sandoval of #Scandoval lecturing James Kennedy on the importance of wielding social power carefully. And it was somehow all downhill from there. Not to mention Raquel Leviss was sitting only a few seats away in what I assume is one of Tom’s rejected boater hats. It probably didn’t fit on his over-inflated dome.

When we left off last week, Ally Lewber was leaving the dinner table due to her embarrassment of James’ behavior towards Ariana Madix. This week, we watched Ariana and James make up almost immediately. Quickly, that moment is taken over by Lala Kent’s nipples. And our descent has begun.

Bub Comes To Dinner

Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney met up to celebrate their divorce over a romantic dinner in Mexico. Tom began the meal with a cheers to getting back on the “hedonic treadmill.” His vocabulary has always been a dead giveaway that his slouchy lifestyle isn’t anything other than a long-term grift. Katie seemed completely irritated by Tom’s personality before their order was even taken. And in her confessional, she was finally figuring out that maybe Tom never even liked her. Why is she here?

Rather than dust Tom and all these cast-mates she doesn’t like, Katie plopped herself in the center of this wedding event. During one of her disappointment rants, Tom cut Katie off to suggest they shouldn’t talk this frequently anymore. He tells her that, ever since she taught him about gaslighting, he can see her clearly gaslighting people all the time. This caused Katie to cry over her steak and walk out of the establishment. To his credit, Tom called Katie to ask her to come back. He didn’t even take her leftover food to go! He’s growing before our eyes.

Back at the hotel, Kristina Kelly is waiting to earn her friend-of paycheck. She and Katie discuss at length how surprised they are things didn’t go well at the divorce dinner. Weird. Then, there’s a knock at the hotel door. In sauntered Raquel. She came to deliver a message from Scheana.

Raquel informed the women that they are not “preferred” members at the hotel, and that they cannot join the wedding party in any of their exclusive events. Kristina specifically asked if she’s okay to be around during the wedding weekend. Raquel bluntly explained that, no– she is not. In fact, Scheana doesn’t want her anywhere ever. And know that.

After Raquel left the hotel room, Kristina and Katie started laughing over Raqy’s poor self-awareness. This is while they sit in a budget-friendly hotel room in a foreign country surrounded by ex-husbands, their new flirt pieces, and a bunch of former SUR co-workers they never liked.

The Most Exclusive Catamaran

Scheana Shay decided to invite Ally onto the catamaran she booked for the wedding-centric girls the next day. Very Zen, especially considering Ally was only invited because James begged for her to be allowed. Lala then shared that she may not be joining the excursion after all. She wants to go where she can feel “safe.” Apparently, that doesn’t include events involving the tall skinny woman she once referred to as “Bambi.”

Scheana basically told Lala she was being a crap friend. Scheana explained that this is her moment to be the center of attention. This isn’t the time for Lala to rehash irrelevant galaxy light drama with Raquel or bond with tag-along-Kristina.

Once everyone is on the catamaran, we got Raquel’s side. Raquel felt like she could have easily asked Scheana to disinvite Lala on the boat if she had wanted to, but didn’t want to accidentally give off the same entitled energy she’s seeing Lala radiate. On the other side of the boat, Lala started sucking up to Ally. She warned her that James’ antics against Ariana last night were tame in comparison to his past. Lala began to cry and told Ally she has a heart of gold and should protect herself.

James’ Spiral Update

This is the spiral that never ends. It goes on and on, my friends. James was consistently struggling in this episode. He started out by telling the camera he considers himself a worldly man. He doesn’t understand the homo-erotic friendships among all his “straight” friends. I’m just going to keep the illusion alive and end my comments on that here.

In general, James finds Brock Davies’ friends to be too rowdy. He told Ally all about his day with them. But he is stopped in his tracks when she begins talking about her earlier conversation with Lala. James proceeded to slam Lala’s former gold-digging. He followed it up by complimenting the only things that serve him in his relationship with Ally. He told her she’s kind, and compassionate for others. Basically, he loves that she’s a passive pushover who won’t say anything against him ever.

Katie’s Rebound Dinner Date

So after her wretched dinner with Schwartz and her personal dis-invitation from any “preferred” wedding event, what did Katie do? She booked herself a dinner within spitting distance of Scheana’s welcome party. At one point, Katie says “people love me” while she enjoyed a meal with Randall Emmett’s ex-fiancé and her emotional-support friend-of.

After enjoying all the free booze at the welcome party, Schwartz sauntered over to ~~Bub~~ Katie and started making small talk. He asked Katie if she could help him trim his armpit hair. Katie looked annoyed. It was almost like she couldn’t have picked any other restaurant in any other country to avoid this situation.

Smooches

So Schwartz made his way back over to a group of people who don’t roll their eyes every time he speaks. Fair enough. He and Raquel went over to a private (albeit filmed) table for two, and they started to discuss their relationship. Tom claimed that his interest in Raquel became “a thing” after Katie forbade it. And so what’s a boy to do?

We ended the episode with a scene of Tommy Boy and Rachel making out while onlookers cheer in the background. TO BE CONTINUED…

Jon Stewart Makes Surprise Return to The Daily Show

Now back to you, Jon Stewart. The former Daily Show host made a surprise return to the late night comedy series on April 4, where he used the force from Star Wars to communicate with...

Real Housewives Of Orange County Alum Meghan King Has Been Dating Women While “Exploring” Her Sexuality

Sexuality is a spectrum, and Meghan King isn’t afraid to explore it. The Real Housewives of Orange County alum has been dating, and she recently opened up about her mission to “explore” her sexuality. Page Six covered all the juicy details about her recent date with a woman. Marrying Cuffe Owens is so 2022. 2023 is all about exploration.

“I opened up my dating app to women. We meet and I’ve never done this before and I have thought about [women],” Meghan explained in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight. “Sometimes when I look at porn, I look at lesbian porn, but I never thought that my desires were to be with a woman.” She continued, “I’m like, ‘What if there is something there? What if I am a lesbian? What if I’m bi?'”

This isn’t the first time Meghan has publicly questioned her sexuality. At the beginning of 2023, the mother of three kicked off the year with a blog post detailing her plans to “celebrate platonic and non-traditional partnerships.” Good for her for following through on her New Year’s Resolution.

Meghan wrote at the time, “I will explore my sexuality if I want to. And I will honor platonic and non-traditional relationships in ways Western society has done the disservice of making us believe are unimportant.”

In her pursuit to explore her sexuality, the RHOC alum revealed that she had an “incredible” three-day date with a woman in New York City. We love that she’s getting out there and testing the waters, but who has that kind of free time?

Meghan spilled all the tea about the date, saying, “The first night, the woman and I hook up at the Yale Club. So, we’re hooking up, we’re hooking up in bed, I’m like, ‘This is fun or whatever.'”

Obviously, it must have been “fun or whatever” since the rendezvous lasted a whole three days. But, at some point over those three steamy days, Meghan realized that being with a woman wasn’t checking all of her boxes. She confessed that she had never been with a woman outside of a threesome and didn’t “identify as bi.”

Meghan recalled, “So I told this woman, ‘I like you and hanging out with you, and you’re beautiful and fun and sexy, but the thing is, I really like c—k and I can’t be in a monogamous relationship with a woman.'”

That’s certainly one way to bring a three-day date to an end! Perhaps they could find a nice guy to make a throuple? We all know there are plenty of single Bravolebrities who would be down! Either way, whatever happens next as Meghan explores her sexuality, we’re rooting for her.
