Tori, more specifically, was introduced as Scheana Shay’s friend. The Vanderpump Rules OG opened up about her postpartum OCD during the episode, explaining that one way she’s hoping to make progress after getting diganosed is by allowing someone who’s not Brock Davies or her mom to look after her daughter, Summer Moon. 

That’s where Tori comes in. For more details on how she knows Scheana as well as role in the purported love triangle with Schwartz and Katie, and for more information on Tori herself, keep scrolling. 

Who is Tori Keeth?

Tori is a singer and actress based in Los Angeles, though she’s originally from Seattle. She’s appeared in several movies and TV shows over the years, including Danger Force, The Never List, and The Message. As a singer-songwriter, Tori’s released a slew of tracks in recent years, from 2022’s “Lovesick” to “Sober,” which just dropped in January.

How does Scheana Shay know Tori Keeth?

As Scheana explained on Vanderpump Rules Season 11, Episode 2, “Tori is someone I’ve known since she was, like, 16 years old. She’s someone who has spent time with Summer before and she is someone I absolutely trust.”

As such, Scheana asked Tori — who has experience as a nanny — if she’d be able to assist her mom, Erika, in babysitting Summer since Erika recently tore her rotator cuff and can’t lift the two-year-old by herself. 

Tori agreed, and noted that she was “proud” of Scheana for taking such a big step in her postpartum OCD journey. Erika, meanwhile, pointed out that Tori herself has been a big source of comfort for Scheana. As she put it, “I think, too, your friendship with her has helped so much, because you get her.”

Tori Keeth’s Love Triangle with Katie Maloney and Tom SchwartzWhat to Expect from Tori on Vanderpump Rules

Vanderpump Rules fans will have to wait and see when the romance drama with Tori, Katie, and Schwartz kicks off, but in the meantime, there are a few big takeaways from the Season 11 trailer — namely, that Tori admits, “I have a crush on a divorced couple.” 

That’s not all, though — Tori can also be seen kissing Schwartz and Katie on different occasions. The former Vanderpump Rules cast member then notes, “I’ve never been in a love triangle before,” while the latter makes a more competitive remark: “May the best man win.”

Lisa Vanderpump’s take on the matter? “I only see a sh-t storm coming.”

What Katie and Schwartz Have Said About Their Love Triangle with Tori

During a recent chat with Us Weekly, Katie and Schwartz explained that they were both were shocked that they managed to spark a connection with the same person, with Schwartz blaming it on a “magnetic pull or shift” that led him to a “parallel universe.”

As for Katie, she mentioned that she had no intentions of getting involved in such a complicated situation. “I didn’t plan it,” Katie said before admitting she was unaware of Tori and her ex’s relationship, adding, “I was like, what am I gonna do, just be like, ‘Oh, why don’t you guys just [go ahead]?’ I’m like, ‘No, I like her too, so I’m going to hang out with her too. And whoever she likes more, I guess she’ll just [decide].’”

The two also spoke about the love triangle in an interview with E! News. “That was something I didn’t, and couldn’t prepare myself for,” Katie expressed. “So I just sort of got through that. It was short-lived. But it was funny, we tried to just make it not too awkward, as much as possible. But like, what do you do? I don’t know.”

Tom, meanwhile, specifically addressed Katie’s “may the best man win” remark that she made in the Season 11 trailer. “I mean you guys, I love myself, but I’m no competition for Katie Maloney,” he joked. “You know what I’m saying? I waved the white flag.”
