Jo Wenberg has pulled to the forefront of Vanderpump Rules drama, though mainly off-camera at this point. There’s been the erratic Instagram Live Stream with the honorary Season 11 member for one.
She claimed that Tom Schwartz led her on. And frankly, his lackadaisical statements towards Jo and her feelings got the hairstylist a lot of support in that matter.
But now, the Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner is responding. And he’s upping the ante by making some serious accusations against Jo.
He claimed that Jo exhibited “erratic behavior”
During the May 24, episode of the When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany podcast, Schwartz revealed that he hopes his former friend with benefits is now out of his life “forever.” He explained to The Valley star Brittany Cartwright his reasons for pulling away from Jo.
“It was a lot of things,” Schwartz explained. “I’m not gonna divulge most of those things. One of the biggest things is that I found out… in my experience, she’s a compulsive liar, OK?”
The accusations from the VPR star include those of “benign,” “nonsensical,” “malicious,” and “manipulative” lies. Schwartz told Brittany that Jo started involving his family in her alleged deceit. Correct me if I’m wrong, but Tom Schwartz’s main claim to fame is being one of the biggest liars on the show. Katie Maloney might agree.
“Jo is not a bad person… but some of the things I found out she told my family behind my back, really f-cking pissed me off,” he said. “My mom told me, my sister told me, my brother told me… They were really dangerous accusations.” Also dangerous, cheating on your girlfriend and wife behind her back.
Schwartz reconsidered his “infatuation” with the hairstylist after the alleged behavior came to light. Interestingly, the long-time Bravolebrity started to notice the “red flags” just as cameras started rolling for Vanderpump Rules Season 11.
“Sometimes you really dig somebody and the feelings go away,” he added. “We hung out so much… It was so fun but we were never in any conventional, exclusive relationship. We were coasting in a pretty nice direction, I think, until maybe at the beginning of filming. And that’s where, I don’t know, maybe I started to notice some erratic behavior.”
Schwartz claimed he can prove “20 substantiated, confirmed lies”
I wonder how many lies Katie can confirm of her ex’s? Schwartz had hoped he could salvage the friendship with Jo. But VPR fans will recall how she rejected that option, and decided to cut ties for good. Could that have any connection to her ex-fling’s next claim, which is that he can prove nearly two dozen lies that Jo involved him in?
“I feel like she’s sacrificed any chance she has for legitimacy or credibility,” Schwartz told Brittany. Is Schwartz’s credibility currently in the room with us? “I think she’s hurt, I pulled away from her because there’s too many lies. Trust me, I have a list of a minimum of 20 — 20 substantiated, confirmed lies.”
The Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner “hopefully” won’t have to address the issue again.
“This will be the last time I talk about it,” he said. “It’s just really frustrating to see her play the role of a victim… People need to respect the reasons I pulled away from her. They’re very f-cking valid. Anybody in my situation would’ve done the same thing… The stuff with my family, I can never look at her the same way. She’s cut from my life forever.”
