“We sent a message, ‘Where you at?’” Brock explained. “His location was her house. Then he sent an emoji of a face, eyes and a straight line. Then he wrote, ‘It was bound to happen.’”
The group confronted Katie with the allegations during another outing. “Max came over to my place afterwards? OK. So he came over. So?” she responded. “Why does [Schwartz] need to know about it?”
She also slammed her ex-husband, adding, “When I asked him three months into our separation not to f–k around in this friend group, he did not give a single f–k about what I thought.”
Katie did not confirm whether she and Max hooked up when he spent the night at her place.
