The myth, the legend. The controversial figure of Vanderpump Rules who had her own reputation built up from the gossip of the cast has gone public. Katie Maloney most of all had reason to dislike Jo Wenberg after she suspected the hairstylist of hooking up with her ex-husband Tom Schwartz. But is she being unfair?
In Pump Rules Season 10, Jo’s name started coming up in connection with Schwartz and their roommate status after he moved out of the marital home he shared with Katie. The former couple announced their split in March 2022. Now, the eccentric maven is getting some screen time of her own and is sharing her experiences filming with the cast for Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules.
Filming Vanderpump Rules “was very hard” for Jo Wenberg
On Monday, November 6, Jo changed her Instagram account to public and shared a message to her followers.
“I’m going public with my Instagram tonight. I hope you guys will all be kind to me. I haven’t gotten the nicest stuff on any type of platform. But I wanted just to make sure that you guys could [see] just me with no makeup or filter. This is who I am,” Jo said in the video.
She went on to speak of her experience filming, and credited the producers for helping her feel comfortable.
“I did film this season of Vanderpump Rules, and it was a very big, eye-opening experience. I am usually behind the camera, and being in front of the camera was very hard for me. But I will say the producers were really awesome,” she continued.
Viewers of the show will remember how her name came up in the wake of Tom Sandoval’s affair with Rachel Leviss. It was suspected that Schwartz sought comfort from his friend.
Indeed, Schwartz admitted to a “situationship or a friends with benefits thing with clearly defined boundaries,” during the May special follow-up to the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion. “We were both coming out of long-term relationships, and for a minute there, we were each other’s happy places.”
It will be interesting to see how Jo and Tom’s friendship plays out. Then there’s the rest of the cast who will be welcoming her into the fold! Or not…
Vanderpump Rules Season 11 premieres in January 2024 on Bravo.
