Katie Maloney Fires Back After Rachel Leviss Claims She Felt “Betrayed” By ‘VPR’ Cast Following Scandoval: “You’re Insane!”

“Brace yourself, Bambi-Eyed B*tch.”

Katie Maloney is proving once again that she is “not the f**king one.”

On the latest episode of her Disrespectfully podcast, the Vanderpump Rules star, along with her co-host Dayna Kathan, reacted to recent claims Rachel Leviss made about feeling “betrayed” by the ‘Vanderpump Rules’ cast in the aftermath of Scandoval.

“She’s moving the goalpost once again, everybody,” Katie said. “I just, I kind of have to chuckle at it because, I don’t know what she was trying to accomplish. Period.” 

Earlier this month, Rachel told Us Weekly that after her and Tom Sandoval’s months-long affair was exposed to the world–- including Ariana Madix, Rachel’s friend and Sandoval’s girlfriend of nearly a decade–- she was left feeling betrayed by her friends/castmates, who did not support her. 

“The whole pageant thing didn’t work out, but it sounds like you might have a future in comedy, Rach.”

“I haven’t heard from anyone. I think the most heartbreaking part of all of it was feeling betrayed by my friends,” Rachel told the magazine. “I know how that sounds because I was somebody who betrayed a friend. But in my darkest times, I just thought that these were my true friends and they would love me no matter what and would want to hear me out. That just wasn’t the case.” 

On Wednesday’s podcast episode, Katie reacted to Rachel’s quote, calling it “insane.”   

“ … She wants to talk about how she misses her friendships, but initially none of us were her friends,” Katie recalled. 

“…apparently they’re much easier to make than friends.”

Dayna went on to point out that Rachel claiming that the cast didn’t reach out to her amid Scandoval conflicts with other comments Rachel has made since the affair was exposed. 

“What was your side?” Dayna asked. “There’s so many things about it, but then she made it clear and wanted the narrative to be that all these people were acquaintances, that they weren’t her friends, and that Ariana was as acquaintance and wasn’t her friend.” 

Katie confirmed that the narrative Rachel “was touting” after Scandoval was that she wasn’t close with anyone in the cast– including Ariana and Tom Schwartz, the latter of whom Rachel had a brief faux-mance with in Season 10 of ‘Vanderpump Rules,’ prior to her affair with Sandoval being revealed.   

People don’t forget, Rachel. Especially people named Katie Maloney…

“That’s why [Rachel] justified everything, all of her behavior with Tom Schwartz, her and Ariana weren’t that close … ,” Katie said, before going on to mention the restraining order Rachel filed against cast member Scheana Shay, whom Rachel alleged hit her in the face after finding out about Scandoval. (Scheana denied the allegation from the start and the lawsuit was ultimately dropped.) 

“Who was gonna pick up the f**king phone, babe?” Katie asked, to which Dayna added, “Scheana was probably her truest friend.” 

Scheana and Rachel, in their “best friends” era.

“If anyone was gonna pick up the phone, it was gonna be Scheana,” Katie agreed, before going on to mention the other legal actions Rachel has taken in the aftermath of Scandoval.

“ … You’re suing everybody. You’re suing Ariana because you f**ked her boyfriend in her home while she was away at a funeral. You’re suing her because she happened to see s**t on [Sandoval’s] phone.” 

The confession heard ’round the (Bravo) world.

(As The Ashley previously told you, Rachel is suing Sandoval for Eavesdropping; Ariana for claims of Revenge P0rn; and both for Invasion of Privacy and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, stemming from the alleged NSFW FaceTime videos involving Rachel and Sandoval that were allegedly recorded by Sandoval without Rachel’s consent and ultimately discovered on Sandoval’s phone by Ariana in March 2023.) 

Katie suggested that Rachel should get her “f**king head checked” for what she’s “put everyone through,” including Katie herself, who had multiple confrontations with Rachel in Season 10 over Rachel’s alleged pursuing of Katie’s ex-husband, Schwartz. 

“Now you wanna come and say this [stuff]? Log off,” Katie said. “Get off the f**king internet. Go open a Pilates studio. Find a nice man, anyone that’ll f**king date you and have a nice simple life. No one wants to f**king talk to you with the s**t that you’re doing.

“You’re insane!” 

To sum things up…

Towards the end of the podcast, Katie questioned Rachel’s feelings of betrayal once again, pointing out that Rachel had made it appear that she didn’t want to speak to anyone in the months following Scandoval, as she soon checked into a 90-day treatment center in Arizona for her mental health.

“ … You’re mad that we weren’t hitting you up,” Katie said. “You dipped out, disappeared, went to your mental health place, blocked everyone that even remotely tried to reach out to you.

“It wasn’t gonna happen,” she added.

  1. Rachel is a whack job…her friends? Nobody in their right mind would willingly be friend me with that girl after the stuff she’s pulled. In no way would or should any woman let Rachel around their partner. She is seriously disturbed.


  2. You can tell just from the pics that all these people are insufferable. From the few episodes I watched, Katie was one of the most insufferable.


  3. I thought they weren’t really friends. Isn’t that what she sis said about them? Now, cause she is claiming to be the “victim”, they were now her true friends. Maybe before she says things she should take notes of her prior lies, so she can keep them straight.


    1. For real Anne is available, if she can use Notes she is in because she’s like talking to my 80 year old mother; Someone who full of misty water colored memories, half truths and maligned body/fashion comments.
