The Vanderpump Rules cast filmed scenes for season 11 at both PUMP and TomTom over the weekend.
Following the start of production last Wednesday, which saw Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney shopping for their sandwich shop and Tom Schwartz and James Kennedy hanging with Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd at TomTom, Schwartz seemed to be involved in a couple of tense encounters as the group enjoyed what was likely their final outing at PUMP.
“Tonight’s update (going on now!) and an update on James/Schwartz’s friendship too! (James is DJ-ing in Chicago) (shuts down with the crew… actually closing July 5),” the Queens of Bravo wrote in the caption of a slideshow of photos on Instagram on July 2.
In one pic, Lisa and Katie were seen sitting with Scheana Shay and Lala Kent as production team members surrounded them at the venue, which is expected to close this month.
A video was also shared of the moment.
“[Pump Rules] cast members filming at Pump Restaurant for Season 11. Pump closes its doors on July 5th,” a Pump Rules fan page wrote on Instagram on July 2, along with a video of Katie, Schwartz, Scheana, Lala, and Lisa.
That same day, Schwartz was seen at an outdoor area of PUMP with Jesse Montana and another friend.
“Schwartz with Jesse Montana (a SURver) and friend. Could they possibly be the new additions? Jesse’s been part of the group for awhile so this could make sense … And yay for diversity!” Queens of Bravo wrote in the caption of an Instagram Story post.
Queens of Bravo also posted photos of Schwartz during another filmed outing on Instagram with James.
“Schwartz seems stressed out,” they wrote, in part, in a caption.
Prior to their filmed evening at PUMP, the Pump Rules cast was seen at TomTom, which Schwartz, Lisa, and Ken co-own with Tom Sandoval, who is currently in New Zealand filming season two of FOX’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.

While at TomTom, Schwartz was seen chatting with Scheana in a moment that was described as “heated.”
“The boots stay on the ground as [Pump Rules] allegedly expands its cast!” Queens of Bravo added on Instagram.
Bravo also posted a couple of images of the outing.
“Here’s a FIRST LOOK at [Pump Rules] season 11 (which started filming this week). What are you most excited to see unfold this season?” they asked.
“Last night at Tom Tom,” Bravo and Cocktails on Instagram.
Although Schwartz may have had a tough conversation with Scheana, the rest of the cast seemed to be having fun, especially Ariana, who was seen dancing in a video at ex-boyfriend Sandoval’s bar.

While Ariana hasn’t yet filmed with new beau Daniel Wai, at least that we’ve seen, the couple spent the weekend together prior to the start of filming.
“This weekend was fun. We were all with Ariana and her boo Dan for her birthday,” Scheana revealed on her podcast Scheananigans. “I’m obsessed with him.”
“He’s so sweet,” friend Janet Elizabeth agreed.
According to Janet, Daniel made Ariana the “most delicious meal” for her 38th birthday, even printing out a menu of all of the items.
“From Ariana, when everything first happened to now see like, a couple months later, this fantastic guy literally feeding her the best food ever and to see her actually happy, it is just really really sweet,” Janet noted.
Vanderpump Rules season 11 is expected to begin airing on Bravo sometime later this year or early next year.
