Katie Maloney wasn’t impressed after her Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss posted a photo with her ex-husband Tom Schwartz on Saturday.
The couple, who were shown kissing in a trailer for season 10 of the Bravo reality show, which aired Feb. 8, spent their weekend together adding to the drama.
Raquel, 28, wrote “Just Cause” on Instagram alongside a series of photos of her and Tom standing outside his Schwartz and Sandy’s Lounge. The couple appeared to be friends as the former beauty queen appeared to have wrapped her arm around Tom’s waist while he rested his hand on her shoulder.
Katie wasn’t amused by the post, especially after it was pointed out multiple times on social media.
“You really thought you did something here but these comments ATETEN LOLOL,” followed by three skull emojis, she wrote. “Nobody sad…” she continued, adding, “As many times as the picture ended up in my inbox I couldn’t help it. Desperate.’
Controversy: Raquel Leviss sparked a storm of controversy when she posted a photo of herself and fellow Vanderpump Rules member Tom Schwartz on Saturday. She wrote “Just Cause” on Instagram alongside a series of photos taken outside Tom’s Schwartz and Sandy’s Lounge
In the photos, Raquel looked comfortable in dark jeans and shared a peak at her toned abs in a black U-neck top.
Her blonde bob was styled in loose curls beneath a peaked cap. The reality star completed her look with an oversized black button-down shirt.
Tom, 40, wore a casual black T-shirt that read “Twenty Thousand Hertz” and black jeans.
The restaurateur put a gold chain around his neck and styled his hair into loose spikes.
Their previous date was at the wedding between castmates Scheana Shay and Brock Davies and was caught by the cameras covering the event, but the couple reportedly decided they were better off as friends.
Tom’s ex-wife Katie Maloney, 36, wasn’t happy with their public display of love, causing a rift between her and Raquel.
Katie and Tom, who were married for three years, called it quits in March 2022.

The post was not well received by all of Raquel’s followers. Disappointing comments included: “Secondhand embarrassment,” “Kids are kids. Such a trifle. JS” and “Well, that’s not cool. I thought you’d be better than this than writing a post that’s clearly trying to piss off Katie. Does that make you feel good?’
Others saw the other side of the story, writing, “Katie has never been nice to Raquel or (ex-fiancé) James (Kennedy) and now demands some respect for the girls’ code.”
“Katie is dating and doing her thing,” they continued, “She left Tom, he can do whatever he wants. These people are not real friends. They work together and have to hang out to film.
