VANDERPUMP Rules’ Tom Schwartz admitted his life was all over the place in his latest social media post.
Tom was slammed online recently after he kissed a girl while he and Jo went to a singles dating event with Tom Sandoval and two other friends.
The VPR star shared a series of photos to Instagram ahead of the new episode which premiered on Tuesday night.
The carousel featured several images of Tom behind the scenes of the show.
In the first photo, Tom sat on a balcony and threw up a peace sign at the camera.
He wore a blue graphic T-shirt and left his blond locks unstyled.

Tom shared a heartfelt caption that detailed his emotions and feelings.
“This episode, I’m trying to give myself a little grace given I felt like my whole life was in shambles (it was) & my brothers life was in peril,” Tom wrote.
Tom announced in 2022 that his brother had been diagnosed with testicular cancer.
He has been undergoing extensive treatments and chemotherapy since.

Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Schwartz slammed for ‘unusually cruel’ move as he kisses model in front of ‘girlfriend’ Jo Wenberg
“’Attractive one day, not attractive the next’ “Any ways ef it, onwards and upwards. What are you guys rating my blonde era 1-10 ? It did mark the beginning of a new era,” he concluded.
Tom’s reflection came after he inflicted a supposedly cruel moment on his castmate.
During last Tuesday’s episode, Tom attended a dating event, where the controversial moment took place.
SNUBBED?
Tom, Jo, Tom Sandoval, and their two friends all wore green wristbands to indicate they were single.
However, Schwartz and Jo appeared to have come to the event together.
One of the first scenes from the night shows Jo messing with and styling the Bravo star’s hair.
After the entire group sat down, Sandoval asked them both if they were single and if they would be social – and both Jo and Schwartz said yes, although Jo looked apprehensive.
In a confessional, even Sandoval admitted that Jo saw her fling with Schwartz as a relationship, but Schwartz would give off “mixed signals” when dealing with Jo.
During the event, Tom caught the eye of another attendee named Gabby.
But, good God Schwartz. I’m watching back like get your s**t together man. Sit up straight and communicate effectively, concisely.

The couple flirted and Tom offered his hat for her to wear.
This caught Jo’s attention, and she immediately came over with a concerned look and asked if he had given the hat to Gabby.
Once Jo left, Gabby seemed very suspicious and asked Schwartz, “Are you single? Are you sure?”
She then prompted him to kiss her so he could prove it.
CRITIC’S CORNER
They shared a short kiss, but that was enough to trigger Jo as she ran over to announce her departure from the event.
Jo admitted that she went to the event with Tom, not to find other people.
Fans slammed the star on X, formerly Twitter, for supposedly hurting Jo.
“He’s been a loser and a weirdo but calling her Joseph in an attempt to friendzone her is like … unusually cruel,” referring to Schwartz calling Jo Joseph in public – which he did “several times at the event,” said one.
