If the season 11 teaser is any indication, another infidelity scandal has rocked the Vanderpump Rules ensemble.
In case you missed it, the previous season opened with Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz announcing their divorce after five years of marriage and more than a decade of dating.
Their breakup was swiftly overshadowed by the revelation that Tom Sandoval had been cheating on long-term girlfriend Ariana Madix with co-star Raquel Leviss – the shocking affair was revealed shortly before the season 10 reunion filming.
Since then, all eyes have been on how the Sur group would pick up the pieces following the betrayal, but it appears that even more drama is on the horizon when Schwartz admitted to previously kissing castmate Scheana Shay.
Yes, I’m serious.
Fortunately, we won’t have to wait long for things to come to a head, since Season 11 of VPR premieres on January 30.
In the brief teaser, the Tom Tom owner could be seen telling Lala Kent: ‘I’ve cheated, I was a make-out s**t. I made out with Scheana in Vegas, no one even knows that.’
He had been unfaithful throughout their relationship, but Maloney was still reeling from the latest news as she sought to piece together all of the evidence.
‘My feelings never mattered to you,’ she fumed in a separate conversation, to which her ex-husband yelled: ‘It was one kiss!’
Shay also found herself at the center of the crossfire as she appeared to argue with husband Brock Davies, who told her: ‘You make out as if this is fine, it hasn’t been fine!’
Although there was plenty more to unpack in the teaser, including Madix and Sandoval coming to terms with their bitter split, it’s clear that the kiss bombshell is responsible for sending fans well and truly over the edge.
VPR viewers were shaken by the teaser and flocked to social media to unpack the drama, instantly going into detective mode to gather all the information at hand.
‘Okay, wait, Sche-Sche and Schwartz??,’ a baffled Reddit user questioned.
‘Scheana kissed SCHWARTZ?! Y’all VPR is backkkkkkk #pumprules [sic],’ a Twitter fan penned.
One wrote: ‘Sorry still over here processing this…but you’re telling me Schwartz and Scheana made out in Vegas, not recently, but when he and Katie WERE STILL TOGETHER?!? #PumpRules.’
Another said: There’s literally no timeline where Scheana and Schwartz making out would be okay so I’m just like… #PumpRules’
‘So who is doing the deep dive to find out when Schwartz and Scheana made out in Vegas? Pls share your findings thx! #PumpRules [sic],’ a commenter urged.

The apparent timing of events has caused consternation, as Schwartz and Maloney had been dating since 2011, married in 2016, and their wedding was shown on the Bravo series.
They had withstood several adultery scandals over the years, but ultimately divorced in 2022, with Maloney citing irreconcilable differences in her divorce papers.
During that period, Shay divorced her first husband, Michael Shay, and dated Vanderpump Rules cast members before marrying Davies in 2021.
If anyone needs us, we’ll be rewatching the first season for any hints…
Vanderpump Rules season 11 premieres on Bravo on January 30.
