Us exclusively revealed during summer 2022 that Tom Schwartz hooked up with Raquel Leviss ( James Kennedy’s ex-fiancée) amid his divorce from Katie. ![]() While Jax, Brittany Kristen and Stassi were all let go ahead of season 9, the drama didn’t stop. It happened so fast that … We weren’t worried about protection, we weren’t worried about anything, it was just so fast.” It was like, he just really needed to talk to me and as he’s talking to me, he’s grabbing on me. ![]() “When he gave me a hug, I have on shorts on - it’s hot, it’s summer -he grabs my butt and I’m like, ‘Jax, what are you doing?’ He goes, ‘Oh, you know, Faith, you know I’ve been wanting this for a long time.’ … He’s almost begging, but it was not in a disgusting or dirty way. ![]() I let him come over, he comes into the room and it was almost immediate,” Faith detailed exclusively to Us Weekly in 2017. “He comes over at 3 in the afternoon, middle of the day, he was out running errands in my area, so I’m thinking, ‘OK, nothing’s gonna happen.’ I was in the room writing music, so I had my recorder on. The bartender faced his own relationship drama over the years and his other biggest scandal went down between seasons 5 and 6 when he cheated on now-wife Brittany Cartwright with Faith Stowers. Kristen wasn’t the only one who had to relive her indiscretion with Jax. … This is about you hooking up with another one of your friends’ ex-boyfriends ‘cause you always need to do that, Kristen.” And you’re a liar and you have no remorse. “You were born shady, you remain shady, you will always be shady. “It is so f-king on brand for you to act like you are so close to Dayna and then go and f-k the dude that she’s talking about. … I’m f-kng shook right now because I thought that Dayna and Kristen were friends, and this is f-king weird,” Stassi declared. While all parties forgave each other eventually, Stassi threw the situation back in Kristen’s face during season 8 when it was revealed the James Mae T-shirt designer hooked up with Max Boynes - who was linked to Dayna Kathan during the season. The revelation resulted in a slap heard around West Hollywood and (temporarily) strained the inner circle. At the time, Kristen was in a long-term relationship with Tom Sandoval (Jax’s best friend) and Jax was attempting to win back ex-girlfriend Stassi Schroeder (Kristen’s best friend). While season 1 included multiple shockers, one of the biggest bombshells was dropped during season 2 when Katie Maloneydrunkenly revealed that Kristen Doute and Jax Taylor slept together - twice. … He needs to lose the ego, he needs a change of heart, humility and to say ‘I’m sorry’ - not ‘I’m sorry, but…’” Schwartz continued.The most tangled web in reality TV history? The cast of Vanderpump Rules has provided Bravo fans with jaw-dropping moments thanks to their secret hookups for nearly a decade. … I’m taking a break from Tom right now.”Īdding, “I know Tom is itching to tell more of his side of the story, but when you have a full-blown affair, your side of the story becomes obsolete. “It’s hard for me not to be resentful of him. “He made a big mess, and he left it for us to clean up,” Schwartz said in the When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany podcast. The sharp jab came from Vanderpump Rules star after Schwartz publicly expressed his remorse for feeling “used” by his pal after the former confided in him about his affair with a former beauty pageant. The TomTom owner singled out his business partner's California home, which was sold after the 40-year-old and former wife, Katie Maloney, went through a divorce. In Fresno, Calif., the crooner was performing Fountains of Wayne’s hit track Stacy’s Mom on Friday when he went off-lyrics, singing, “Schwartzy, do you remember when you had a lawn? / A homeowner lawn / Your mom came out wearing just a TomTom hoodie and thong,” according to Page Six. ![]()

Some baby bouncers also have swing functionality, so they can swing back and forth, usually powered by batteries. ![]() There are even high-tech bouncers that rock baby in different motions (forward and back, for example, or in a figure eight pattern) and can be controlled using an app. Some bouncers play music or emit nature sounds, which can be calming or annoying, depending on how much you like those tunes. Another feature to look for is a toy bar with colorful plush toys for baby to bat at - and help hold her attention for longer. One feature that many parents swear by is a vibrating function that can help soothe a fussy baby. Most baby bouncers have the same basic design: a soft fabric seat with a three- or five-point harness buckle to keep baby safe and secure, set on a flexible frame that’s made out of metal or plastic.įrom there, some bouncers have added bells and whistles that you may - or may not - find useful. Ganjian. He recommends reading reviews and, if you happen to check it out in a store or at a friend's house, "try pushing the sides right, left, top and bottom, and see how easy it is for it to flip onto its side." Types of baby bouncers This can be tricky to determine if you're shopping online, says Dr. A solid base that baby can’t easily topple over in is a must, says Dr. Ganjian, recommending an angle of about 30 degrees. “The seat belt only prevents scooting off from the bottom - not from the top,” says Dr. If the bouncer is angled too far forward, baby can slump down over the straps if it’s too far back, baby could slip out from the top. A bouncer shouldn’t be inclined too far back or forward, says Dr. “Babies can wiggle their way out if they’re not securely fastened,” says Dr. The bouncer should have adjustable straps, including a strap that goes between the legs, to ensure that baby can be easily and comfortably secured in the seat. Ganjian, M.D., F.A.A.P., a pediatrician at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California, recommends looking out for the following qualities in a bouncer: Some baby bouncers have been recalled in the past, and it’s understandable that you may be nervous about making the right decision for your little one. Daniel S. Bouncers don’t follow the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) safe sleep recommendations, so these seats should only be used when your little one is awake and under careful supervision. ![]() You’ll also need to be careful not to let baby nap in her baby bouncer, especially if she’s old enough to roll over from back to front. ![]() However, many parents appreciate the way a baby bouncer engages and calms a fussy baby with constant movement, and your little one will love her view from a comfy seat. She needs your loving touch, as well as the motor and developmental benefits of playing and exploring. For parents with young babies, a bouncer can be a lifesaver when you need to free your hands to eat a quick meal or go to the bathroom when baby is awake and ready to play.īaby bouncers - also sometimes called bouncy seats, bouncy chairs or bouncy swings, depending on their design - are fabric baby chairs with a harness to keep your little one strapped in safely.īaby bouncers come in handy when baby is alert but you need both hands to do something around the house - just be careful not to use them as an alternative to holding your little one or giving her the appropriate amount of supervised tummy time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Being able to say, ‘Can I get an extra shot of this?’ Or ‘Can I mix two flavors?’ is something people like.” People enjoy that, I think, especially our regulars. “You pull up to the window and talk to the barista. “The idea is you don’t order at a menu board,” he said. “It’s a big part of what we do - 40 percent of what we do,” he said.Īlthough the Human Bean is a drive-through place, Watson said there is a human element many customers appreciate.
