View this post on Instagram Instagram PostFor those unaware, Katie Maloney and her friend Kristen Doute booked a room at the same resort in Mexico for their vacation that had nothing to do with Scheana’s wedding. But when the latter asked Katie not to interfere with her big day, Tom Schwartz supported her and played his “groomsman’s card" to support Scheana’s argument. Katie was hurt that her ex-husband was still not advocating for her.So when Schwartz claimed that he had started defending her post-divorce, Katie took offense. He also stated that she abused the “wife-husband card.”Tom Schwartz then said:“I have been a great f**king husband.”When a producer asked Katie whether she ever analyzed why Schwartz never defended her honor, she replied”"The only thing that I could ever come up with is that he just didn’t like me. He might have loved me, but he just didn’t like me.”After their argument, Katie broke down in tears, got up, and left without having her dinner. At the end of the episode, Tom Schwartz was seen kissing Raquel Leviss.Viewers can tune in to Bravo every Wednesday at 9.00 pm ET to watch a new episode of Vanderpump Rules season 10.
