Maloney, 36, appeared onWatch What Happens Live with Andy CohenWednesday after the latestVanderpump Rules.
Theepisode barreled toward its conclusionwith Maloney caught up in a screaming match with both Sandoval, 40, and Leviss, 28. Despite her rocky history with the TomTom co-owner and recentfiery wordsfor the SUR waitress, Maloney gave a surprising answer whenAndy Cohenasked whether she thought the pair “are in love today.”
“I don’t know what they’re doing,” she answered, “but I still think maybe they should give it a shot ‘cause they’ve blown up their lives and may as well.”

Maloney isn’t the firstVPRcast member to encourage the couple to test out their relationship for real. Cohen asked Leviss’s ex-fiancéJames Kennedya similar question when he appeared onWWHLlast month.
“In a weird way, I hope [they’ll make it],” said Kennedy, 31. “Because like, just think about the dreams they’re going to have in each other’s bed — all this traumatic s— they’re going to go through i mean it’s just like, as a couple, If they survive each other and go through it, f—ing hats off because, could you imagine?”
Kennedy later added that he wishes Sandoval and Leviss “the best.”
Wednesday’s episode also included a shocking moment whenMadix opened up to Leviss about issues in her intimacy issues with Sandoval— completely unaware that her then-boyfriend of nine years wascheatingwith the former pageant queen.
“I watched it,jaw on the floor,” Maloney shared. “I was like, ‘This is the most nefarious thing I’ve ever seen happen.'”
Maloney’s had her own experience with Leviss’s “nefarious” behavior, given that much of this season ofVPR— which was filmed months before news of the affair broke — has focused on Leviss and Schwartz’s escalating flirtation. The drama reached its peak when Maloney’s ex (to whom she was still technically married)kissed Levisson camera atScheana ShayandBrock Davies’weddingweekend last August.
Madix’s Something About Her co-founder also shared her theory on how what Schwartz, 40, knew about his best friend and business partner’s affair.
“I think right after the wedding, after him and Raquel kissed, is when Sandoval told him,” said Maloney, which lines up withSchwartz’s own confession to Cohen that he knew in late August.
Maloney continued, “Because I think Raquel was playing funny games with Sandoval, maybe trying to make him jealous. Because, you know, ‘Well I’m single, I can do what I want. You have a girlfriend, so I’m going to go kiss your friend.’ And so then Sandoval came and put a kibosh on it and told Schwartz that him and Raquel have a thing going on, so Schwartz wouldn’t pursue Raquel. That’s my theory.”
“Checks out,” affirmed Cohen.
Reconsidering Schwartz’s kidding Leviss’s preference for married men, Maloney said, “In hindsight now, it’s like, ‘Wow, you’re just over here making inside jokes.’ That’s so dark.”
