Tom Schwartz felt really “awkward” when James Kennedy accused him of making out with Raquel Leviss live onstage at BravoCon last weeknd.
“I kind of shut down,” the “Vanderpump Rules” star exclusively told Page Six at the Soho House’s Patrón Tequila Pit Stop event in Austin on Friday.
“I kind of just put my head down and clicked my heels together and was hoping I could disappear.”
Kennedy claimed Schwartz and Peter Madrigal kissed his ex-fiancée during BravoCon’s “WWHL: Charming House Rules” taping.
After Kennedy’s allegation, Schwartz began blushing and slowly raised his hand to his face and tried to shield his reaction.
“I just rode it out, and you’ll see how it plays out this season,” Schwartz teased to us. “There’s a build up to it, and there’s a lot of fall out afterwards. I’m still processing it.”
Schwartz, who recently finalized his divorce from co-star Katie Maloney, said Season 10 is “incredibly emotional” for him.
“We’re calling it the season of change, the season of new beginnings,” he told us. “There’s a whole new landscape for ‘VPR.’ I feel like it’s a ‘VPR’ reset.”
The Bravolebrity previously told Page Six that while it’s been an “absolute pleasure to get to know Leviss on a deeper level” and they shared a “climatic moment,” he doesn’t “think” there’s a future relationship between the two.
“I have a great admiration for her, and we’re tight, we’re friends, we’re boys,” he told us at BravoCon last weekend.
Leviss also talked to Page Six amid rumors that the two hooked up at Scheana Shay’s wedding in August.
“I think he’s cute. I feel like we have a little flirty, friendly connection that’s lighthearted and fun,” she told us at BravoCon.
“He’s a very sweet guy, obviously, and easy to talk to. It’s just very nice to have a friend in my corner.”
Meanwhile, Schwartz is living up the single life with his best friend and co-star Tom Sandoval at the Patrón Pit Stop, a multi-day activation in partnership with Soho House Austin. The dynamic duo will take over the bar the during a Formula 1-themed pool party on Friday.
“Because Patrón is doing the pit stop, you don’t have to be a member [at Soho House] to come drink with us!” Sandoval gushed.
“We’re honored to be working with Patrón. Every time we do this it’s so cool,” Schwartz chimed in.
