It’s still uncertain if Vanderpump Rules will return for Season 12, but that doesn’t mean that these fan-favorite reality TV stars have been holding out on their fans when it comes to their personal lives.
In October, on her Disrespectfully podcast, Katie Maloney revealed that she was in a brand-new relationship. It marked two years since she divorced costar Tom Schwartz after 6 years of marriage. Although the Something About Her sandwich shop co-owner kept her beau’s identity a secret, it didn’t take long for internet sleuths to figure out that it was Sleeping With Sirens musician Nick Martin.
Nick’s ex-girlfriend blasted him online in a lengthy Instagram post after it was revealed that Katie was now dating him. In fact, some of it was quite disturbing. How do Katie’s cast mates feel about her dating him?

Nick Martin’s Ex Slammed The Musician For “Collecting Women”
The day after Katie announced that she had a boyfriend on her podcast, a woman by the name of Brandy Baye came forward with shocking allegations about Nick that claimed he mistreated women.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Brandy, who is Nick’s ex-girlfriend, alleged that the rocker not only cheated on her, but had also cheated on his wife, Jenna. She also stated that Nick lied to her about being divorced and claimed that he and his lawyer threatened her if she spoke publicly about her relationship or posted photos of them together on social media. Brandy labeled him a “pathological liar” and said that she “fell under a veil of lies, manipulation, and narcissistic behavior.”
“Nick Martin collects women, but he doesn’t honor them.”
To conclude her statement, Brandy said that she wanted to “protect women from this treatment” and even included the various photos she took with Nick when they were together and was not allowed to share after being silenced. Was Brandy simply trying to warn Katie?
According to an insider for Page Six, Katie and Nick had “bonded” thanks to their similar careers in hospitality, as Katie is the co-owner of Something About Her sandwich shop with Ariana Madix and Nick owns a coffee company. Katie is also a huge fan of emo music, even hosting emo nights in Los Angeles, so Nick seemed like the perfect match for her. Detailing how Katie and Nick became an item, the insider told the outlet:
“Katie loves the emo music scene and has been a fan and friend of Nick’s band for some time. While the pair started out as friends, things took a turn this past summer in August and their relationship developed really quickly.”
As of this writing, Brandy has not said anything further about her relationship with Nick. And it looks like Katie keeping her relationship with the guitarist from the public eye may be the best thing for both of them.
