Pump Rules' Katie Maloney Calls Scheana Shay a 'Troll' for 'Meddling' in Her Split From Tom Schwartz: 'You Are Derailing Everything'

The start of a new feud? Katie Maloney had some choice words for Scheana Shay after on Vanderpump Rules after she attempted to play matchmaker for Tom Schwartz and Raquel Leviss. During a new episode of the hit Bravo series, which aired on Wednesday, February 22, Scheana, 37, claimed she got Katie's "blessing" to try to set up Tom, 40, and Raquel, 28. In response, the "You're Gonna Love Me" podcast host, 36, slammed Scheana for involving herself in other people's relationships. "I don't give a f—k what I said. Why are you giving so much weight to what I said in Vegas? I am telling you right now, I don't care. It is very disrespectful what you have been up to," Katie told the former SUR waitress, who invited Tom to discuss his divorce on her "Scheananigans" podcast. "What you did with Schwartz on your podcast was f—king gross. You and your podcast should just stop right now." The Utah native continued: "You do not need to talk about the most painful day in my life. It's none of your f—king business. I don't care what you think. There is no room for your feelings. There is no room for you in this. Get out of my divorce with Tom. I am really proud of where we are and you are derailing everything. You are meddling like a little troll." Scheana, for her part, defended the decision to offer the TomTom cofounder a space to discuss his split. "He didn't have to answer questions if he didn't feel like it," the "Good as Gold" singer added, noting she didn't plan to set up Tom with Raquel. "But that wasn't my intention. I am not dangling the carrot of Raquel — we are all friends." In a confessional, Scheana continued to throw shade, adding, "You are mad at yourself. You are mad at Schwartz. Problems that have nothing to do with me. Go back under your bridge, bitch." Before filming started on season 10, Katie and Tom pulled the plug on their marriage in March 2022 after more than a decade together. Us Weekly confirmed in August 2022 that the businessman got cozy with Raquel at Scheana and Brock Davies' wedding. (Tom and Katie's divorce was finalized two months later.) [jwplayer NK29VdrL-zhNYySv2] Earlier this month, Katie confronted Scheana about rumors that she supported Tom's hookup with their mutual friend. “Ya I was v supportive during her divorce and wouldn’t have dreamed of meddling this way,” Katie wrote in the comments of a fan account about her offscreen conversation with Scheana. “Grief isn’t linear and I have said all kinds of s—t, cried and screamed. All while being under a microscope and thought I had actual friends during these conversations. She said I told him I would wing woman for him. And I said ya when he is ready he could probably used [SIC] some encouragement from some friends.” During Wednesday's episode, Raquel's ex James Kennedy sided with Katie amid the drama. "I can understand where Katie is coming from because Scheana had Raquel on her podcast two and a half weeks after we broke up," the professional DJ, 31, who split from Raquel in November 2021, shared. "It is like, 'Let me get this f—king bitch while she is fresh.' When I called Brock to say that they better keep my name out of their mouth, he responds, 'Why don't you come onto the podcast mate and talk about it?'" Ariana Madix, however, questioned whether Tom was the one to blame for the feud. "This is once again an occasion where Tom Schwartz is in the middle of everything. You are left here holding the bag and he is the nice guy that everyone loves," the Florida native, 37, told Scheana. "No one is ever mad at Schwartz and I have been saying this for years. He makes decisions for himself and he pisses people off. So why is everyone always mad at someone else about it?" Scroll down for more bombshells about Tom and Raquel's connection:

Katie and Tom Address Their New Normal

During the Wednesday episode, Katie opened up about how her life has changed since her divorce. "It's so weird just to think that originally Tom and I talked about doing a sandwich shop together. That was going to be the plan, maybe, later on in life," she shared.  

Meanwhile, Tom admitted that his and Katie's split was for the better. "As much as it broke my goddamn heart, my separation with Katie was really, really healthy," he told Scheana. "She chose her words very carefully."

Katie and Raquel Awkward Conversation About Tom

"I went to Tom's today to take the dogs over, and right before that, he did Scheana's podcast. And he's like, 'She's been really nudging and pushing me to date Raquel,'" Katie detailed during a dinner with Raquel and Lala Kent. "It's a total act of betrayal. She was my bridesmaid at my wedding. And when Scheana went through her divorce, I supported her. How would she have felt if I was trying to hook up Shay with one of my girlfriends? She would have been livid." 

The beauty pageant queen, however, shocked her friends when she revealed an interest in Tom.

"I think about it more. I do like Schwartz a lot. I don't know — I wouldn't ever date him seriously, though," she shared. "Nothing has happened. Even if I did entertain the fact, it wouldn't be f—king. I don't want any serious relationship."

Lala vs. Raquel

After recalling how "vacant" Raquel was during her relationship with James, Lala, 32, called out her new friend for entertaining the idea of a hookup with Tom.

"This is when I will step in and defend my f—king friend at all costs. If we want bodies lying everywhere it is going to be you hooking up with Schwartz. I am messy and even I wouldn't do that s—t," the beauty mogul said. "Your feelings would be so hurt by that, and I don't want you to pretend they wouldn't be."

Katie, for her part, added: "F—king each other just because is a little weird. I will say right now, I don't think I am ready to see that or be there just yet."

Lala and James' History

Lala broke the news to Raquel that she previously hooked up with James. "Really, Lala? You're going to sit there and judge me for hypothetically making out with Schwartz, yet you slept with my boyfriend while we were together? You're such a hypocrite," the California native told the cameras in a confessional.

Raquel continued: "I care more about him falling in love with Ally [Lewber] one month after we break up. That's more hurtful to me than him hooking up with you."

Raquel and James Get Closure

After a tense meeting in a park, Raquel brought up Lala's claims to James. "I have been so loyal to you our entire relationship," she told her ex-fiancé. "Our entire relationship was built on a foundation of lies. You weren't honest."

James, for his part, defended his brief connection with Lala. "It wasn't a good decision, and obviously, we were both drunk. Lala was in bed and literally didn't let me leave the room. It was only the one time," he told Raquel. "I feel like I am getting interrogated. Do you need more closure from this? Because it seems to me like you made a good decision. You are happy now and I met someone I am truly happy with. It's a good thing I didn't marry you."

Scheana Calls Out Katie

"Katie and I have had a roller-coaster of a friendship. It seems like we both always want to see the worst in each other and we struggle to find that good," Scheana said in a confessional about her past with Katie. "At this point, I am done apologizing for things I am not sorry for. This is what happens when you get divorced, people move on. Deal with it." 

The podcast host clarified that she never planned on "pushing" Tom and Raquel to go out. "I just asked because I know you have said that you didn't make out yet," Scheana recalled to Raquel. "And Katie was the one who said, 'I see some rumors about Raquel and Tom online, and honestly, if it was true I would embrace it. He needs to start dating.'"

Scheana continued: "She was the one — first of all — who pushed me to then bring it up to you. She should have never said, 'I would embrace that.' She's getting upset that I am doing exactly what she asked of me. That's annoying."

Katie Throws Shade at Scheana

"A friend wouldn't do this. A friend wouldn't bring him on the podcast when he is vulnerable like this to try to coerce him into saying something," Katie said about her former friend's behavior. "She wants to be supportive? Be supportive over there. She's an evil, evil little troll."

While recapping her issues to Lala, Katie referred to Scheana as a "s—tty person," adding, "It's fine because karma is going to come for you, and I will watch your world burn and I will smile."

Schwartz and Raquel's Potential Chemistry

Scheana tried to break down her offscreen conversation with Katie about Tom's dating life, saying, "We had this conversation in Vegas — Katie and I — where she was talking about the rumors of you two that were clearly not true. And she was like, 'But look, if Schwartz and Raquel wanted to be together, they have my blessing. I encourage that. I don't care. I am getting laid and Schwartz should be getting laid.’"

The singer later questioned why Katie was allowed to get "laid" when Tom couldn't explore his chemistry with Raquel.

"She said she was getting laid? How do you know they had sex? My mind is starting to race. Getting laid is the last thing on my mind," the Schwartz and Sandy's owner shared. "I had a hunch that Katie was getting some and I figured she was out having fun. To hear it factually stings a little."

After calling Raquel "drop dead gorgeous, funny and cool," Tom asked her to tone down their flirtatious interactions.

"We need to stop our little ... by the way, I love when we hang out and flirt. We don't have to stop hanging out and I feel like we bonded so much. We should probably stop doing our little schtick though. There is a double standard," he explained to Raquel, who added, "It is so innocent and your ex-wife is overreacting quite a lot."
