Katie Maloney Criticizes ‘Ding Dong’ Rachel Leviss

Vanderpump Rules star Katie Maloney is speaking out against show alum Rachel Leviss after recent statements she made in public. Katie had a tense relationship with Rachel during Season 10, and it appears old feelings are resurfacing. Read on to find out what Katie had to say.

During Season 10 of Vanderpump Rules, Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz were managing their divorce and had an agreement not to date anyone in their close circle. However, fellow cast member Scheana Shay encouraged Schwartz and Rachel Leviss to get together, leading to a kiss in Mexico during Scheana’s wedding festivities. Rachel’s assertive behavior towards Katie further ignited tensions, as clues emerged suggesting Rachel might be involved with Tom Sandoval. Following the ‘Scandoval’ revelation and the Season 10 reunion, Rachel entered a mental health facility and was absent from Season 11.

Despite her brief retreat from the public eye, Rachel quickly returned to the scene, featuring on Bethenny Frankel’s Just B podcast before launching her own, Rachel Goes Rogue. She continually discusses Vanderpump Rules, the cast, and claims about what she feels she missed out on. Recently, she expressed feeling betrayed by some of her friends from the show, which left Katie baffled, considering Rachel had previously suggested that Scheana and Ariana were not close friends, claims both women disputed.

According to Reality Blurb!, Katie Maloney didn’t hold back her feelings on her podcast Disrespectfully, which she co-hosts with Season 8 alum Dayna Kathan. Dayna referred to Rachel as “a ding dong,” to which Katie responded:

“[Raquel is] moving the goalpost once again. I kind of have to chuckle at it because it’s just like – I don’t know what she’s trying to accomplish. If anyone was gonna pick up the phone, it was gonna be Scheana [Shay].”

Katie believes Scheana was genuinely a friend to Rachel, but everything changed when a restraining order came into play. Katie further criticized Rachel’s actions:

“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, like, happened to see s**t on his phone … You need to get your f**king head checked. Like the s**t that you put everyone through, the s**t you pulled with me, the vile f**king s**t you said to me. The way you made me feel when I looked in your f**king face and told you, and now you want to come say this. Log off. Get off the f**king internet. Go just, like, 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.”

Initially, some supported Rachel when she was keeping a low profile. But when she started criticizing everyone else, opinions rapidly shifted. Katie’s followers echoed her sentiments:

• I agree… Rachel is not the victim, she knew exactly what she was doing… they have names for people like her.
• Sociopathic ‘lawsuit happy freak’.
• Why is she still talking? And why are they interviewing her?
• Finally someone called it what it is. She’s a loser that needs her head checked. 👏👏Katie.

While some wished Katie had been less profane, many agreed Rachel’s behavior was toxic and long past needing to be addressed. What are your thoughts on Rachel’s statements?
