Katie Maloney addressed Raquel Leviss’ apology text – after the Vanderpump Rules alum encouraged Jo Wenberg to share an article about Katie and Dayna being the worst dressed at a recent event. She called the drama “petty internet bulls**,” and she suggested Raquel had ulterior motives.
Last week, Raquel revealed on her podcast that she apologized to both Katie and Dayna. She also explained the situation and shared why she felt bad about it.
“When I saw her name on my phone … I froze,” said Katie on her Disrespectfully podcast, via @byewighellodrama on Instagram. “I was like, ‘Oh my god.’ I didn’t want to open it. I didn’t know what the hell it was.”
Dayna then read her own text from Raquel aloud: “‘Hi Dayna. I just texted Katie and I wanted to apologize to you both for encouraging Jo to post that article, and I’m sorry for doing it. It was very petty and uncalled for. I’m aware of my actions, and I’m working to do better.'”
Dayna said Raquel “outed” herself by sending the text because she and Katie “didn’t know” that she encouraged Jo to share the article. She also suspected that Jo sent the text “so she could say on her podcast that she did.”
“Well she did like an emergency podcast about it,” agreed Katie. “I don’t think it was necessary to apologize. I don’t think it was necessary to do a podcast mentioning that you apologized … When I saw that I was like, ‘Okay, you’re apologizing for some petty internet bulls**t, but I have not seen any acknowledgment, accountability, or apology for the real torment and hurt that you brought to my life.'”
Katie claimed she doesn’t “enjoy apologies” unless she sees “modified behavior.”
“She created an entire situation out of nothing to like literally have something to talk about,” she added. “That’s what it seemed like to me.”
According to Katie, the “moral” of the story is “don’t talk to dead people.”
