Scheana Shay explained why she encouraged Tom Schwartz and Raquel Leviss to date, but her version of events may not be accurate, at least according to claims made by Vanderpump Rules co-star and Tom's ex-wife, Katie Maloney. In the Vanderpump Rules series premiere, Katie and Tom made their debut as a couple. Unlike Katie, however, Tom wasn't a full-time cast member until Vanderpump Rules season 2. Despite multiple seasons filled with lows, including rumors of Tom cheating and accusing Katie of having a drinking problem, where he famously dumped liquor on her head during an explosive fight in Mexico, the pair became engaged during Vanderpump Rules season 4 and got married at the end of the following season. Unfortunately, Katie filed for divorce just prior to the start of filming for Vanderpump Rules season 10.
