About this episode

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Love is Blind and Vanderpump Edition! Today we are joined by actor and writer Johnny Lowe to get the behind-the-scenes scoop on his infamous Watch What Happens Live appearance with Tom Schwartz. We hear how he attempted to explain Scandoval to his father, how he feels about being a nepo baby, and what he thinks of the Love is Blind lawsuit. We then have a “Sweating the Wedding'' caller who is renewing her vows after leaving a religious cult - and she isn’t sure if she should invite family members who are still members. 

“People confuse empathy and accountability.”
