Tom Schwartz is dishing on his "awkward" moment with James Kennedy at BravoCon last week.
During last weekend's event, Kennedy accused Schwartz of making out with Kennedy's ex-fiancée Raquel Leviss.
On Friday, Schwartz, 40, revealed how he felt about his "Vanderpump Rules" co-star's move, telling Page Six that he "kind of shut down" after Kennedy made the allegation live onstage.
"I kind of just put my head down and clicked my heels together and was hoping I could disappear," Schwartz shared while at Soho House's Patrón Tequila Pit Stop event in Austin, Texas.
Kennedy claimed that Schwartz and Peter Madrigal kissed his ex-fiancée during BravoCon's "Watch What Happens Live: Charming House Rules" taping.
Following Kennedy's claims, Schwartz blushed and raised his hand to cover his face and hide his reaction.
"I just rode it out, and you'll see how it plays out this season," Schwartz teased. "There's a build-up to it, and there's a lot of fallout afterward. I'm still processing it."
"Vanderpump Rules" fans will get to see more of Schwartz's reactions as well as the aftermath of his divorce from his ex-wife and co-star Katie Maloney in the upcoming Season 10, which he said is "incredibly emotional" for him.
Schwartz told the outlet that he and his co-stars are calling "Vanderpump Rules" Season 10 "the season of change" and "the season of new beginnings."
"There's a whole new landscape for 'VPR.' I feel like it's a 'VPR' reset," he teased.
In a previous interview, Schwartz told Page Six that it has been an "absolute pleasure to get to know Leviss on a deeper level" and that they shared a "climatic moment." However, he claimed he doesn't see himself dating her in the future.
"I have a great admiration for her, and we're tight, we're friends, we're boys," he said during BravoCon.
During the same event, Leviss told the outlet that she and Schwartz have a "flirty" connection amid rumors that the two hooked up at Scheana Shay's wedding in August.
"I think he's cute. I feel like we have a little flirty, friendly connection that's lighthearted and fun," she said of Schwartz last weekend. "He's a very sweet guy, obviously, and easy to talk to. It's just very nice to have a friend in my corner."
However, she made it clear that she isn't looking for a serious romance at the moment because she is still "exploring the single life and having fun with that."
Schwartz and Maloney finalized their divorce on Oct. 13. While they remain amicable after the dissolution of their six-year marriage, Maloney said there will be plenty of "awkward [and] uncomfortable" moments on-camera between her and her ex-husband in the upcoming season of "Vanderpump Rules."
