Tom Schwartz's Controversial Advice for Jo Wenberg's First Reunion: "Not a Personal Attack"
Tom Schwartz advised the hairdresser, in part, to "take nice deep breaths" during the reunion.
Though there's still plenty for fans to see on Vanderpump Rules Season 11, the cast did already gather to film the reunion alongside host Andy Cohen.
Cast members Ariana Madix, Lala Kent, Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay, Tom Schwartz, Tom Sandoval, James Kennedy, and Brock Davies were all in attendance as well as Ally Lewber, as was Schwartz's friend, Jo Wenberg, for the big day.
While all of the full-time cast members are pros when it comes to reunion days, the Season 11 gathering marked hairdresser Jo's reunion debut. Before the former SURvers hit the stage, Tom Schwartz spoke exclusively with BravoTV.com about his advice for Jo. He also revealed how he himself was feeling about the Season 11 reunion.

Tom Schwartz Shares Words of Wisdom for Jo Wenberg's First Reunion
Ahead of the reunion taping in Los Angeles on March 16, Schwartz chatted exclusively with BravoTV.com about his reunion prep process, and he revealed that he did have some words of wisdom for his former friend-with-benefits, Jo.
"My advice for Jo would be to never let them see you sweat," he said. "Don't be fidgety — that's not a personal attack towards Jo, but I know, like myself, sometimes she can be a little fidgety."
He also encouraged the hairdresser to "have some fun" during the day.
"Remember to take nice deep breaths, and remind yourself that everything's going to be OK, and have some fun," he continued. "Appreciate this strange little world we've found ourselves in."
How Tom Schwartz felt going into the Vanderpump Rules Season 11 reunion
Following the dramatic 10th season reunion, when Schwartz found himself at odds with many of the other cast members, the Schwartz & Sandy's co-owner was feeling "good" ahead of the Season 11 reunion.
"I feel f-cking good today! I'm in good spirits. I feel like I'm oozing optimism lately, I'm in a good head state," he told BravoTV.com. "I think I'm on good terms with everybody. I f-cking love these people! They're like my family. The word is — this is kind of cheesy — gratitude. I'm feeling super grateful to be 11 seasons in and to do a f-cking TV show with people I love."
