Bravo’s “Vanderpump Rules” Star Tom Schwartz isn’t letting the drama go unaddressed as he believes the photo between him and Raquel are being taken too seriously!
Tom and Raquel ended up kissing on camera during Brock Davies and Scheana Shay’s wedding and of course Katie was not here for it.
Katie was so made that she threw a jab at Raquel online calling her a “fan girl”.
Raquel posted a picture of herself with Tom posing outside Schwartz & Sandy’s on February 18, 2023. She captioned the Instagram post, “Just cause.”
In our opinion this is definitely the two going back and forth trying to get under each other’s skin and a reaction.
Tom isn’t for the mess. He spoke with Us Weekly and shared that the picture was innocent in nature.
He shared:
“It was not meant to be a jab. It was not deliberate. It was not premeditated. I never want to do anything to hurt Katie. I still love her and it wasn’t malicious. It’s not like we coordinated here. Like, ‘Yeah let’s stir the pot a little bit.’ I think we were having a really good night and we were celebrating a milestone.

Do you think Tom is downplaying the situation? Things seem a bit heated between Raquel and Katie.
