Sources are sounding the alarm after Tom Schwartz was spotted leaving a hotel at 7 a.m. with a mystery woman — one who fans have now identified as an ex-girlfriend of James Kennedy from before his current relationship with Ally Lewber. Although she wasn’t a well-known public figure during their time together, Bravo insiders say she was once very involved in James’ private life — and Schwartz knew exactly who she was.
“James lost it when he found out,” a production source told BravoLeaks.
“He demanded filming stop for two days. He felt completely betrayed.”
The drama unfolded just as cameras were rolling for Vanderpump Rules Season 12, and insiders say this “hotel scandal” may become one of the biggest storylines of the season. Some crew members even had to intervene when James allegedly confronted Schwartz during a group dinner shoot.
The betrayal cuts deeper than most — James and Schwartz have had their ups and downs, but things had recently seemed cordial. That truce now appears to be dead in the water.
“Tom knew she was off-limits,” a cast member whispered.
“It’s giving Scandoval 2.0 energy — but somehow messier.”
As of now, neither James nor Schwartz has made a public statement, but Ally has posted a cryptic Instagram Story with a single word: “Exhausted.” Fans are already dissecting every pixel.
Stay tuned — because this isn't just a rebound… it's a revenge ripple.
