Tom Schwartz on The Valley’s Danny Drama, Sandoval and Stealing Ex-Wife Katie’s Look! (Exclusive)
Tom Schwartz sits down with ET’s Brice Sander to reflect on his reality TV return in ‘The Valley,’ airing Wednesdays on Bravo and streaming on Peacock. Tom speaks to the unexpected learning curve of getting back into the groove of filming, after wrapping his ‘Vanderpump Rules’ stint in 2024. He weighs in on the drama circling co-star Danny Booko, whom Tom admits he did not know well before production started on season 3, and how his fellow ‘VPR’ tranferee, Lala Kent, is handling her part in the saga regarding the actor’s drinking. Plus, Tom previews the just-filmed reunion and predicts where the show goes from here — including the possibility of Scheana Shay or Tom Sandoval joining the crew. Tom reacts to the headlines about his longtime buddy (Sandoval split from girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson following a physical altercation with her father, which was caught on camera — which escalated into legal territoy) and shares his hopes for where it all shakes out. The two partnered on two bars together, the shuttered Schwartz & Sandy’s (Tom says he lost $500K alone on the spot) and TomTom with Lisa Vanderpump. She put the latter up for sale, and Tom suggests it will be changing hands soon — but he’s not turned off from the bar business. He also reacts to claims he stole ex-wife Katie Maloney’s look for a recent costume on ‘The Valley,’ and shares an update on his romance with girlfriend of nearly a year, Kiana Carroll. The ‘Detox Retox’ host also says his piece on the ‘Summer House’ scandal, and where he thinks West Wilson and Amanda Batula’s romance will land after the dust settles.

Why is he on the Valley? He doesn't have a storyline. He's pushing 50 why is he still around. Also, why is LaLa's rancid, putrid ass on the show? We already have Janet and Michelle, Big and Little Evil. We don't need anymore putrid, mean twats on the show. Get rid of Schwartz, LaLa, Janet and Michelle.
Janet should go together with Lala.
Lala is definitely doing what she was asked to do by certain people like Janet and Brittany
Great interview! Love Tom on The Valley.
Tom and lala get a real job. Scheana also needs to grow up
Tom Danny is held to a higher standard than Jax
Nobody accused Jax of SA when he pulled Danny’s shorts down and he had no underwear on. First season and Nia was crying. Then when Jesse twisted Kristin’s boob, did anyone call that SA?
It’s a crappy show.
Tom is a great addition! Nia is such a great example of a supportive wife..she’s protecting her marriage and family..the others are judging Danny for exactly the same things they are doing! Now I do think he should stop at one or 2 drinks or dont drink at all! Kristin is still my fav..she’s calling out all that we are seeing as viewers..
I would have learned more if Brice had interviewed Gordo.
Lala is sooooo tiresome. She brings nothing to the table, so she patrols everyone else and fires off with a hair trigger.
Tom should do something for himself – what is his job actually ….. 43 yrs old – time to grow up
It doesn't matter how much they try to "redemption arc" Janet, she's so incredibly unlikable. She needs a real hobby or a job because it seems like she just LIVES to stir the pot, start problems where there aren't any or create mountains out of mole hills. Maybe she should do some volunteer work with S.A. survivors or somethimg where she can actually do some good. Otherwise. I'm not sure I can watch a season 3. The only likeable people are Zach and Benji. A few of them Im neutral on, but most of them solidify their storylines by rehashing OLD crap over and over and over again. If what we see is already a year ago, we don't need it to have been a year+ older than that!
Did Schwarts just call Lala refined? Lala has never been refined. Britney has always been a troublemaker hiding behind Jax. Janet is just purely despicable.
Get Lala and Janet out of this show. I'm so tired of them . It's time to leave Danny alone.
Please get rid of Layla,Janet, and Brit. And Danny needs help with his drinking. Nia needs to really look out for herself with this guy. I think he controls her too much.
Lala, Britney, jasmine and Janet should go. They are so awful.
I can’t even watch this show anymore because of Lala, Janet and even Britney.
He’s such a cowardly two faced weasel
Love Tom. Love Lala. Tom reminds me of Bob Hope, also likeable. And Lala has old Hollywood good looks. They make the Valley more fun.
Who cares about Summer house ugh
I get that Lala is polarizing and some people don’t like her, but that doesn’t change the fact that Danny is absolutely terrible and she’s right to confront him. So disrespectful to his wife on camera, I can’t imagine how he acts when he’s not on camera. It’s disturbing. If he doesn’t take accountability on the reunion I’m not watching this show going forward, way too dark.
I ❤ tom
Janet thinks only her feelings matter
Janet needs to go
Janets the joke not Danny
Lala needs to settle down
Lala goes too hard
Tom Schwartz you’re a great guy but please get a life
It's sad most people tune in to see this stuff. I think he's letting out his stress having 4 kids. I could barely handle one. He's not as bad as Kyle Cookle. Nia is a very chill lady
OMG what has happened to Sheena’s face? She looks like a plastic clown!🤡
I love Tom I feel Tom S caused his relationship with K to fail He was jealous of her taking Tom out of his control. A bad influence
A lot of people think Lala was overstepping with Dan and Nia.
Lala must go. So trashy
