\u201cI want to clear things up,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cJo was never living with me. Was she staying with me sporadically? Yes. She\u2019s not my girlfriend, she never was. We had a whirlwind romance but we are just buds now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\tTom Schwartz\u2018s close connection with Jo Wenberg has raised eyebrows following his split from Katie Maloney \u2014 and he\u2019s offered a surprising amount of insight into their friendship. Before filming started for season 10 of Vanderpump Rules, Tom and Katie announced their decision to part ways after more than a decade together. As cameras started [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ahead of the season 11 premiere, Schwartz exclusively spoke to Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> about Jo\u2019s Vanderpump Rules<\/em> debut, calling the hairdresser a \u201cbreath of fresh air\u201d for the series. \u201cShe has a charisma and energy unlike anyone else I\u2019ve ever met in my life,\u201d Schwartz told Us<\/em> in January. \u201cNot everyone loves that energy. I happen to be fond of it. But, she\u2019s kind of, like, a superstar in her own right.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cShe\u2019s straight out of the Midwest \u2014 Wisconsin [girl] through and through. She\u2019s got a beautiful soul and yeah, man, I\u2019m always rooting for her. Shoutout to Jo [and] if you need your hair done, hit her up. DM her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jo, a Los Angeles-based hairstylist, entered the VPR<\/em> circle when she befriended former cast member Kristen Doute<\/strong>, who speculated on a December 2023 episode of her \u201cSex, Love and What Else Matters\u201d podcast that Jo had \u201cused\u201d her friendship<\/a> to get on television.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a text here and there, but she seriously just ghosted me. And then I started finding out that she was hanging out with Schwartz and she was staying with him,\u201d Doute said at the time. \u201cOur friendship has been over ever since. Not because I broke off our friendship but because she broke off the friendship with me and started lying to me. Now all of a sudden she\u2019s on the TV show that canned me.\u201d<\/p>\n
