Im guessing it would also
because of the the gravitational scale differences between the moon and earth than lets say compared to the gravitational forces from a gas giant sutch as saturn with a small moon sutch as Europa would only make a difference if one of the moons orbits close enough and then it would still only have a minimal desruption due to the gravitational scale difference. Because of the mass of the moon compared to that of the earth and the fact that it already affects a mass as heavy and close to the earth itself sutch as water then Im asuming the rings would be completely disrupted. OR more interesting still perhaps there would be a figure of 8 style ring system between earth and the moon (although that's doubtful as the moon doesn't rotate). If that makes any sense (not a scientist just a humble musician with a telescope)

Even Satuarn's rings are not stable
They are getting wider very quickly
