Tom Schwartz Offers Jesse Solomon Advice — And Brings Paige DeSorbo Into It

Tom Schwartz is weighing in on the latest “Summer House” conversation — and his advice for Jesse Solomon comes with a surprising Bravo connection.

During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” the “Vanderpump Rules” alum was asked by host Andy Cohen what he would tell Jesse Solomon as comparisons between the two continue to circulate among fans.

“Since he’s being compared to you right now, if you could give Jesse Solomon any advice, what would it be?” Cohen asked.

Schwartz didn’t hesitate — and immediately referenced one of the most memorable moments from his own Bravo past.

“Andy, I’m having flashbacks to the reunion season 10. ‘Were you silent or were you silenced?’” he said.

The line, which quickly became iconic among viewers, dates back to the Season 10 reunion of “Vanderpump Rules” — the height of the “Scandoval” fallout that dominated the Bravo world.

After referencing the reunion, Schwartz turned his attention to what he would actually do in Solomon’s position — and brought Paige DeSorbo into the conversation.

“Honestly, I think I would take his advice. I would consult Paige. He did the right thing.”

The comment suggests Schwartz believes Solomon handled the situation appropriately, while also highlighting DeSorbo’s growing influence within the current dynamic on “Summer House.”

Host Andy Cohen responded with a playful jab: “I’m not slamming you but you might be the wrong person to ask for advice.”

Schwartz laughed it off, adding, “Yeah, I’m not great with timelines.”


Why Fans Are Drawing ‘Scandoval’ Comparisons

This comes as viewers continue to draw parallels between the current “Summer House” drama — centered on Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s surprise relationship — with close friends Jesse and West navigating the situation in a way that echoes Schwartz’s long-standing friendship with Tom Sandoval.

During Season 10 of “Vanderpump Rules,” Schwartz faced scrutiny over what he knew about Sandoval and Rachel “Raquel” Leviss before their relationship became public.

That tension ultimately led to Cohen’s now-famous question — “Were you silent or were you silenced?” — which has since become one of the defining lines of the entire reunion.

While the situations are not identical, the similarities around timing, communication, and shifting alliances have fueled ongoing comparisons among fans.

Schwartz’s appearance comes as he continues to expand his Bravo presence, now appearing on Season 3 of “The Valley.”

His latest comments show that even as new storylines unfold across the network, past moments — especially ones as significant as “Scandoval” — still shape how fans view current cast dynamics.

And as “Summer House” continues to play out, viewers are clearly paying close attention to how those parallels might continue to develop.
