AceShowbiz - Katie Maloney is weighing in on the drama involving her ex Tom Schwartz and her "Vanderpump Rules co-star Lala Kent. In a new interview, Katie shares her two cents on Lala cutting Tom off after the latter was seen hanging out with her own ex Randall Emmett.
Sharing her opinion on the matter, Katie told E! News at the 2022 Neon Carnival on Saturday, April 16, "That's kind of like her M.O. and I can't fault her for that." The Bravo personality went on to add, "She feels strongly about Randall and how things have gone down and the person that he is, and how she doesn't want him in her life, and I can't fault her for that."
Katie, who is currently in the process of divorcing Tom, also claimed she "understands it fully." She continued saying of Lala, "She's made it abundantly clear to all of us and she said it explicitly. So for anyone to kind of take that and go back and decide to continue a friendship or relationship knowing...it is what it is."
Following her split from Randall in October 2021, Lala has been making several cheating allegations leveled at her former fiance, with whom she shares daughter Ocean. She also accused him of creating a "toxic environment" for her and their baby while they were all still living together.
Back in March, she claimed that Randall hooked up with a 23-year-old girl in the month she gave birth to their daughter Ocean. "Let's talk about it. I was alone during most of my pregnancy and for the first 7 months of her life, until the mask fell and I saw who he really was," Lala wrote underneath a post from mommy blogger Tina Swithin a.k.a. One Mom's Battle. "He started a relationship with a 23 year old in march of 2021- the same month I gave birth."
She went on to say that the movie producer and the unnamed woman "traveled together" while she was at home with Ocean. "I thought he was working, because that's what he said he was doing," the Give Them Lala CEO said. Lala additionally said that Randall made it difficult for her to leave his Bel Air mansion following his cheating during October 2021 trip to Nashville before adding that the movie producer invited the woman to live in his home "2 days after" she left his place following their split.
As for Katie, she and Tom announced their split after 12 years together on March 15. "I never thought I would have to make an announcement like this. But I feel it's important that I'm open about my life with you," Katie wrote on her page. "After 12 years on an adventure through life together Tom and I are ending our marriage."
Tom, meanwhile, admitted in his post that the split "sucks." He penned, "How am I supposed to capture 12 years of love in a f**kin canned Instagram caption," adding that he's "not quite ready to use the 'D' word bc it's too painful. Yes my heart aches but I'll be ok."
