Vanderpump Rules season 11 episode 11 drew out the drama between Tom Schwartz & Katie Maloney, making it clear the exes are struggling to connect.
Vanderpump Rules season 11 episode 11 pushed the drama between Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney further while establishing that Scheana Shay & Lala Kent aren’t on Ariana Madix’s side. Though the hype of Scandoval feels like it was a lifetime ago, the cast of Vanderpump Rules season 11 has not been able to let go of the drama. Though Tom and Ariana are still struggling with the ruins of their relationship, the rest of the cast has been coping with trying to figure out where they sit in terms of their friend group. The group has struggled to balance the exes.
Though Tom and Ariana have their fair share of drama, the issues between Schwartz & Katie have been piling up. While their divorce was a major point of Vanderpump Rules season 10, Schwartz and Katie haven’t really dealt with the repercussions of their marriage ending within their friend group. The exes spent the majority of Vanderpump Rules season 11 episode 11 in a place of confusion, as Schwartz appeared to be halfway in a relationship with Jo Wenberg while simultaneously dating Scheana’s friend Tori alongside Katie. It became clear the relationship issues between the exes run far deeper than it seemed.

Scheana has gotten herself into some serious controversy throughout Vanderpump Rules season 11. From her emotional breakdown over not being able to mourn her friendship with Tom to the fact that she has asked Arianna to let go of the hurt and pain surrounding her break up numerous times to benefit herself, Scheana hasn’t been supportive in the way that she believes she has. During Vanderpump Rules season 10, Scheana was called out for pushing Schwartz and Raquel Leviss to make out at her wedding. While most believed that Scheana was past this phase, it appears that things haven’t changed.
Early in the episode, Scheana explained that she set Schwartz up with her former nanny and longtime friend Tori Keeth. The fact that Scheana has decided to try to play matchmaker between a few of her friends is not surprising. She explained that she thought it would be fun to set Schwarz up with Tori, but then realized that Katie was also interested. Scheana shared that it appears both the exes are both dating the same woman, which she found confusing. For the sake of the friend group, Scheana shared that she would be staying out of the romantic drama.
