LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Currently, Jo Wenberg is facing widespread backlash online for her fashion choices. During the Season 11 reunion of 'Vanderpump Rules', Jo opted for a black lace dress, which did not sit well with fans of the show.

Many criticized her for wearing a dress deemed too spooky for the occasion. The negative comments about Jo's outfit have flooded social media platforms, sparking a debate about her sense of style. One Reddit user wrote, "Sort of… what’s the word… spooky?" Another said, "It's such an ugly dress. Horrible hair. The whole look so bad."

One user said, "Yes I said this the other day!! Spooky af." Another added, "I just don’t understand the tiered fringe? It’s a weird silhouette and makes the dress look much cheaper than it probably is."

One user noted, "It’s awful. Reminds me of 70s macrame." Another user wrote, "Despite what I think about her as a person from what I see , Joe is very pretty however that dress is a mess."

‘Vanderpump Rules’ star Jo Wenberg confronts Katie Maloney over Tom Schwartz drama

'Vanderpump Rules' Season 11 has been a treasure trove of drama and revelations, one of the most significant being the spotlight on the friendship between Tom Schwartz and Jo Wenberg. Jo's addition to the cast this season has not only shed light on their dynamic but also stirred some tension and conflicts among the rest of the group.

Following numerous exchanges and discussions, an episode indicated that the tension between Tom's former spouse, Katie Maloney, and Jo may be starting to subside. However, uncertainty lingers regarding whether this newfound peace will truly last.

Jo expressed remorse to Katie for any inadvertent pain she may have caused her and then asked if Katie had any thoughts or feelings to share in response.

"Well, do you feel like you owe me an apology? I sent you a genuine text about the divorce, and I really mean it," Jo asked Katie. Soon after, Katie replied, "Yeah, and then suddenly grew a pair and asked him if you could, like, stay with him."

In case you missed it, Katie previously mentioned that Jo started staying with Tom after their divorce. According to Katie, their relationship took a sudden leap, as Jo had initially only been cutting Tom's hair and tried to connect with him through Katie.

During an episode, Katie shared, "She wouldn't just hit him up, she just kept hitting me up, and then next thing you know, it's like, she doesn't mind asking him to stay with him? That's a bigger ask than a haircut, at a really weird, kind of sensitive time when we're going through a divorce...you are weird. That is very weird to me."
