Reality TV just got a fresh twist courtesy of the latest drama on Vanderpump Rules. In the latest episode, Tom Schwartz stunned viewers as he planted a kiss on Raquel Leviss after a heated exchange with his wife, Katie Maloney. The unexpected gesture has taken the internet by storm, prompting relentless speculation about the state of their marriage and the future of Vanderpump Rules. Join us as we unpack the juicy details of this explosive episode and dive deep into the behind-the-scenes drama that led up to this shocking moment.
The latest episode of Vanderpump Rules saw Raquel Leviss and Tom Schwartz kissing amidst a chaotic situation that left viewers with bated breath. In Mexico, the two shared a steamy, tongue-filled kiss that sparked serious issues between Schwartz’s ex Katie Maloney and both Raquel and Scheana Shay. However, before their kiss, the hour began with Schwartz and Katie grabbing dinner to celebrate selling their house following the divorce while in Mexico. Though things started off nicely, the pair eventually started to argue, with Maloney insisting Schwartz never had her back or “defended her honor” during their marriage or after. He disagreed, saying he only stopped doing it toward the end of their relationship because she “abused it early on.” The two kept going at it, before Katie eventually stormed out, leaving Schwartz all alone in the otherwise empty dining room.
Later in the episode, all the men had a pool day for Brock Davies, where Tom Sandoval urged Schwartz to put himself back out there. As the two checked out women by the pool, Sandoval said he and Ariana “check girls out all the time … and guys,” before they zeroed in on a pair of ladies in bikinis. For a moment, Schwartz thought one of them was Raquel, prompting him to say he couldn’t “explain” his attraction to her. Sandoval, tellingly, responded, “I get it.”
As the entire cast then gathered around the resort’s pool for another of the many pre-wedding events, Scheana started stirring the pot, asking Schwartz if he’d “make out with anybody at the wedding.” Raquel popped up, joining the conversation, and after Katie was seen telling some of the girls that she and Schwartz “get into a fight every time we talk now,” Leviss pulled Tom aside to what he called a “romantic table” set up in a shallow area of the pool. “Raquel, are you seducing me?” he asked, as she told him, “Do you feel seduced?” “A little bit, actually,” he responded, as Brock shouted “MAKE OUT” at them from the background. Though Schwartz said he was “so annoyed by what people have done to coerce us into making out,” he then added, “I kinda just want to do it now.”
“Raquel, you’re f—ing gorgeous, you’re beautiful. It was never even a thing, Katie made it a thing and now it’s forbidden fruit,” he then told her. “It was never a thing until they made it a thing.” Leviss was on the same page, saying Maloney “made it more of a thing” than anyone else in the group — and the constant talking about it made it so she couldn’t “stop thinking about” making out with him. In a confessional, she added, “there’s a lot of things that attract me to Schwartz. He’s so sweet, kind, love his sense of humor. My attraction for Schwartz definitely outweighs my desire to be friends with Katie.” With that, he went in for a kiss … and it was definitely French. After separating their lips, they started laughing, before a “To be continued” slate popped up on screen. While that was the end of the episode, it wasn’t the end of their lip-locks, as the preview for the season showed the pair kissing in the same outfits at a different location. Chances are we’ll see that next week … and how some of their cast members reacted to the hookup!
Ultimately, the show sheds light on the complicated dynamics between Schwartz, his ex-wife Maloney, and his current flame Leviss. Leviss appears to have stolen Schwartz’s heart as he tells her “you’re f—ing gorgeous, you’re beautiful”. The makeout session is a moment of pure tension and even had to be continued to see the aftermath from the rest of the cast members. It is not hard to see why Leviss caught Schwartz’s attention, also hearing from her that her attraction to him outweighs her desire to be friends with his ex-wife.
Overall, the Vanderpump Rules episode brought the drama we all crave on reality TV. The show’s depiction of the dynamics between ex-partners and current partners is sure to keep audiences coming back week after week to witness it all unfold.
In conclusion, the drama on Vanderpump Rules is never-ending, and the latest episode did not disappoint.
