'Vanderpump Rules' Scandal: Tom Schwartz Accused Of Cheating On Wife Katie Maloney
Jan. 2 2018, Updated 2:21 p.m. ET
A brand new cheating scandal exploded on Vanderpump Rules, with married Tom Schwartz getting accused of hooking up with someone who wasn't his wife.
In the latest episode of the hit Bravo show, Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright's cheating scandal played second fiddle to Schwartz making out with another woman while Katie Maloney was out of town, an incident he claimed he couldn't remember because he was so wasted.
LaLa Kent dropped the bombshell to Scheana Marie and Ariana Madix, telling them that while Schwartz and Maloney were married he hooked up with her friend.
"Tom was pretty drunk, hammered. he was calling me Bubba Schwartz' nickname for Maloney all night. We started talking and he kissed me," the woman Allie told her pal Kent in a flashback scene.
"They made out, he was touchy feely," Kent told Marie and Madix, after revealing that she was furious with Maloney for making fun of her boyfriend.
"I was down for her," Kent said about Maloney. "I was never going to say anything."
But she changed her mind: "You f**k with my relationship, I'm coming at you full force," blasted Kent.
"What a dumb a** b*tch," Kent continued. "Well her marriage is going to end so that's her karma."
Madix decided that she would confront Schwartz about his cheating instead of letting Maloney find out through the "rumor mill."
Madix pulled Schwartz aside at Sur Lounge during Lisa Vanderpump's business partner Guillermo's birthday party.
"You drunkenly made out with somebody in January/February. She's actually a friend of Lala's," she said.
"There's no way," Schwartz insisted.
However, he partially fessed up when Madix told him it was when his wife was in New York and it happened at the Bungalow club.
"I got sh*t faced that night. But I don't even remember," he claimed. "Obviously I've done this before so, I am capable of this. But I have no recollection of it. This is bad."
Schwartz then told his wife what Madix told him about hooking up with Allie.
"Apparently I was sh*tfaced and I made out with someone, of which I have no recollection of."
Madix chimed in, telling Maloney why she confronted him.
"It was in the last nine months. I heard about it, I told him about it."
Madix explained that Kent had told her about the hookup and Maloney was furious.
"Apparently Tom is cheating on me again. So that's cool. What is wrong with him? What is wrong with him? Is this some kind of karmic punishment?" she asked.
Maloney recalled the last time Schwartz was unfaithful to her: "I have already been down this road with Tom cheating on me. I feel like this is some kind of bad dream."
She ripped into her husband. "What is wrong with you ? Get it the f**k together. What is wrong with you?"
He insisted that he couldn't remember the night: "I have no recollection of it. I got sh*tfaced and I made out with a girl who happens to be friends with LaLa."
Vanderpump, who officiated his wedding to Maloney, was not happy with him. "Do you remember the f**king ring on your finger? I take this personally."
Schwartz had no excuse. "I get so s***faced that I have no recollection of it."
Meanwhile, Taylor and Cartwright continued to fight over him having sex with Faith Stowers multiple times. After her girls' night out she once again confronted him about the cheating.
"There are bigger things in the world," Taylor said to Cartwright, trying to get her to stop being angry about his infidelity. "People are dying of cancer. You're not that devastated."
Tragically, Taylor's father passed away from cancer at the end of December, a few months after the scene was filmed.
But at the time, Cartwright was furious. "Did you really just f**king say that? Get out of here, go. You piece of s**t."
Taylor went out drinking with James Kennedy where he admitted again that despite their fighting he and Cartwright were getting busy in the bedroom.
Schwartz and Tom Sandoval finally came to a deal with Vanderpump about their new bar together, with the guys both committing to putting in $50,000 of their own money to become partners.
Stassi Schroeder successfully managed her first event working for Vanderpump.
