Lala Kenthas palKatie Maloney’s back — andRaquel Levissmay need to watch her own.

In a sneak peek at Wednesday’sVanderpump Rules, Katie tells Lala and Raquel over dinner about a concerning conversation she had with ex-husbandTom Schwartzhours earlier. He had filmed an appearance forScheana Shay’spodcast, in which she asked Tom to “talk about the divorce” in a “healthy, positive way.”

But this revelation was something that bothered Katie — especially as she recalls Tom telling her how Scheana has been “nudging” and “pushing” her former spouse into dating again. In fact, Scheana had specifically suggestedTom hook up with Raquel.

When Katie asks Raquel if Scheana was applying the same pressure to her, the former pageant girl admits it’s been happening “a little bit.” This instantly angers Lala.

“Shut the f— up. Are you being serious?” Lala asks as Raquel shakes her head yes. “Like, what is the tone when she tries to do that?”

Though Raquel tries to reverse course, claiming she “wouldn’t ever date him seriously,” Katie and Lala are stunned.

“Well, hold up, hold up, hold up,” Lala interjects. “This is where I will step in and f—ing defend my friend at all costs. And if we want bodies laying everywhere, it’s going to be you hooking up with Schwartz.”
