The trailer showcased marital strife between the couple, linked to Kyle’s career choices and a late-night visit to a fan’s house. Maloney, a 38-year-old former star of Vanderpump Rules, criticized Kyle’s behavior, drawing comparisons to her ex-husband, Tom Schwartz, 43. She even suggested Kyle was exhibiting traits reminiscent of Tom Sandoval, asserting that Amanda, 33, deserves better.

“The trailer looks incredible. I watched it twice and thought, ‘I need this in my life,'” Katie shared on the December 17 episode of Disrespectfully.

Despite her affection for both Kyle and Amanda, Katie expressed concern over Kyle’s actions, particularly his late-night escapade to an unnamed venue, which she identified as a significant warning sign.

While Katie noted that she loves Kyle and Amanda, she said that Kyle’s behavior raised red flags, especially his late-night out at an undisclosed location.

“It’s just so unacceptable, and he has since come out and offered some context to that, which has made the whole thing even worse,” she shared, signaling Kyle’s explanation of having gone out of he DJed an event.

“If your job was to DJ a party, you should go home after. I don’t want to tell you how to live your life and be like a Debbie Downer on your time, but like, you are a married man. I just don’t think that that’s appropriate, especially now that I’m on the other side of things,” she explained.

Giving a nod to her past marriage to Schwartz, Katie said she had a habit of letting bad behavior slide.

“I feel like there was absolutely times where Tom would end up places. He would go to happy hour, and it’s 4 o’clock in the morning to make sure he’s not in a ditch … [And] putting that emotional strain on your partner is unforgivable,” she declared. 

As for Kyle mentioning that Amanda chose not to go to the event he was DJing, Katie said his excuse was “removing accountability and putting all this on Amanda.”

“Like if Amanda had gone, you would’ve behaved yourself?” she wondered. “How about, be an adult and act accordingly all on your own. It’s giving Tom Sandoval being like, ‘Well [Ariana Madix], if you would’ve followed me, you would’ve seen that I was going to f*ck [Rachel “Raquel” Leviss] and not going to Tom Schwartz’s house.”

“I am feeling like I am watching a clip from my past,” Katie continued. “I see so many similarities … It feels so familiar … It’s humiliating to have a partner like that who cannot get it through their head that like, this is going to make my partner look stupid and me look stupid and make us look stupid, and then no taking responsibility … It’s just like, trying to qualify it or correct it or make excuses for it rather than just owning it.”

Although Katie acknowledged that there is plenty that fans don’t see on Summer House, and reasons for staying in a relationship that some don’t understand, she also pointed out that “what is being shown is exactly also what it is.”

“It might not be the whole of it, but it shouldn’t be dismissed because there’s good moments,” she stated. “I know it’s really hard to make those decisions and you don’t want to make them quickly, especially when you have a lot of things to consider like a business together, but I just want so much better for her. She deserves so much better.”

Summer House season 10 premieres on Tuesday, February 3, at 8/7c on Bravo.
