Katie Maloney fires back at claims there are ‘sides’ in Tom Schwartz divorce

Katie Maloney is shutting down claims she and estranged husband Tom Schwartz are forcing their “Vanderpump Rules” castmates to pick “sides” in their split.

“We literally told them there’s no sides to pick,” Maloney, 35, responded on Instagram to what Raquel Leviss told Page Six last weekend, adding, “I have felt that some people have on their own done that for whatever reason but tom and I are still friends so whatever.”

Leviss, 27, told us at this year’s Vanderpump Dog Foundation’s World Dog Day that some of her co-stars — namely, Scheana Shay — were feeling divided over Maloney and Schwartz’s divorce.

“I feel like with Tom and Katie, they do expect [people to pick] sides, unfortunately,” she explained.

“It has [changed the dynamic], yeah. It seems that way, anyway — even though I’m friends with both of them.”

When we asked the beauty queen whether she got that impression more from Maloney or Schwartz, 39, she replied, “Personally, I don’t get that vibe, but Scheana does, so you should ask her.”

Shay, 37, was actually at the event alongside fiancé Brock Davies and their baby girl, Summer Moon; however, the couple did not walk the pink carpet.

A rep for Shay declined to comment.

As for Lisa Vanderpump’s take on the Bubbas’ split, she told us Schwartz was having a particularly “tough” time and admitted she’d “much rather” see him and Maloney stay together.

“Who knows?” she noted. “Maybe the fat lady hasn’t sung yet.”

Maloney filed for divorce in March, one week after she and Schwartz announced their split on Instagram.

The pair began dating in September 2010 and tied the knot in front of Bravo cameras on August 2016. After discovering a marriage license mishap that played out on the show, they jetted off to Las Vegas to get legally married in July 2019.
