Jo said Tom had sent her messages saying he was “not gaslighting”, adding that he felt like he was “at peace” for the first time in a long time – asking Jo to “leave him alone”.
“Please don’t mention me or my girlfriend anymore. Why would you waste another second of your life chasing someone who doesn’t want to be with you,” Tom said to Jo.
Jo said she would never mention his girlfriend again; however, she said she would continue to talk about Tom because he is “a big part of her life.”
She also said that she has been by Tom’s side for the past two years when his family was “breaking apart.”
“Please let me go,” Tom also wrote to her, adding, “I’m respectfully blocking you, so everything you say will fall on deaf ears.”

IG Live was recorded and shared on Xwhere fans showed support for Jo after watching Tom ping pong about their relationship during season 11.
“I love that she did this to Schwartz,” one person said, while a second added, “Someone said it’s his karma for his treatment of Katie.”
“Now you know that little girl wrote those messages,” wrote a third, believing it was Tom’s new girlfriend who sent the message to Jo.
Others accused Jo of seeking “stardom” and “influence” by continuing the situation publicly.
