Maloney further revealed that Schwartz returned to their former apartment in search of the painting. "It wasn't there. So maybe either someone took it or someone threw it in the dumpster, but it's gone."
This obvious tragedy has, apparently, affected another person — Bravo maestro Andy Cohen. As fans of "Watch What Happens Live" know, tons of famed Bravo artifacts hang in Cohen's clubhouse, and by all rights, that should include the Bubba painting. According to Maloney, he would welcome that if the painting could be tracked down. "It literally comes up almost every time I see him," Maloney said of Cohen. "I was just there last week and it definitely got brought up again. It makes me sad because I wish we could have had it somewhere just to immortalize it because it is iconic."
"Iconic" is the correct word here. Making an entire work of "art" out of a couple's nickname — as well as Maloney's first name and, for some reason, the word "rub" — is a uniquely weird thing to do, and for that reason, it makes complete sense that any one of the bozos from "Vanderpump Rules" would do it. Sadly, the painting is lost to time, or it's hanging in the living room of a "Vanderpump Rules" superfan who happened to be in the right place at the right time.
