James Kennedy's girlfriend Ally Lewber and Tom Schwartz's former roommate and fling Jo Wenberg arrived at the scene to discuss their relationships.
When the attention shifted to Jo, the Watch What Happens Live host asked about her and Katie's past.
Shortly after Schwartz, 41, and Katie, 37, ended their marriage in 2022, Jo sent the Something About Her owner a heartfelt and positive text message regarding her divorce.
However, months later, Jo moved in with Schwartz - which caused Katie to immediately unfriend her and soon began speaking down on her on social media and the Bravo series.

"I mean none of us could stand to be around her. Her energy is on par with a crack head. She is a psycho and I will also light her on fire," she said.
In the show, Katie called Jo a "rat girl," a "creep," "psychopath," and that "no one likes her."
'COLORFUL DESCRIPTORS'
Back at the reunion, clips were shown of Katie calling Jo names which caused her to cry with Schwartz, Lisa Vanderpump, 63, and Scheana Shay, 39, trying to calm her down.
"What is it about her that got you fired up?" Andy asked Katie.
