LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: On a recent episode of the 'Vanderpump Rules aftershow,' Tom Sandoval criticized Katie Maloney for her harsh treatment of Jo Wenberg, whom he referred to as Tom Schwartz’s "ex-fling."

Sandoval expressed strong disapproval of Maloney’s behavior, describing it as excessively vindictive. "I think Katie’s level of anger is rarely ever on par with the action," Sandoval said. He went on to criticize her further, stating, "She, like, openly talks about how she enjoys watching people suffer and stuff. That is the very definition of evil."

Sandoval’s comments came in the context of a broader discussion about the dynamics between Maloney, Schwartz, and Wenberg. He also noted Maloney's intense and unfair resentment towards Wenberg, possibly stemming from her past relationship with Schwartz. Sandoval said that Maloney seizes any opportunity to create conflict, especially when it involves Schwartz moving on with someone else.

Tom Schwartz, Maloney’s ex-husband, joined the conversation, partially agreeing with Sandoval. While Schwartz didn't go as far as to call Maloney evil, he did say, "She will pray on people’s downfalls."

Katie Maloney accuses ex-Tom Schwartz of giving ‘false hopes’ to Jo Wenberg

During the 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 11 reunion, which was filmed in March 2024, Katie Maloney accused her ex-husband, Tom Schwartz, of giving "false hopes" to Jo Wenberg, a mutual acquaintance. Maloney expressed her frustrations about how Schwartz treated Wenberg during the reunion.

Maloney explained, "I don't know the true nature of Schwartz and Wenberg’s dynamic, but I believe he gave her false hope." She criticized Schwartz for his behavior, saying it was unfair to Wenberg.

Wenberg also responded to Maloney’s comments during the reunion, expressing her surprise at Maloney’s concern, given their past interactions.
