On Tuesday, Stassi Schroeder’s world came crashing down when the 31-year-old was fired by Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules show after a series of racist remarks and behavior came to light. Schroeder, who has also been fired by both her agent and publicist, was ‘surprised’ and incredibly upset by the news as she now finds herself in the unemployment line.
The drama began when Schroeder and cast mate Kristen Doute lied to police and accused former cast mate Faith Stowers of a crime in what Schroeder described as a ‘prank’. Stowers outed Schroeder in an Instagram live video with Floribama Shore’s Candace Rice, stating:
- “It hit the ceiling for me and made me want to really run for the hills when Kristen and Stassi decided they were gonna call the cops on me…” Stowers added, “There was this article where there was an African-American lady. It was a weird photo, so she looked very light-skinned and had these different, weird tattoos. I guess this woman was robbing people, and they called the cops and said it was me!”
Schroeder has since apologized for falsely accusing her former co-worker and released the following statement on Instagram.
In the wake of the incident, Schroeder has reportedly “lost a lot of money from sponsorships and paid opportunities such as Secret deodorant, vitamin startup company Ritual, and the shaving supplies company Billie.
In addition to the incident with Stowers, several of Schroeder’s racist social media posts and statements made on her podcast have resurfaced. During a now-deleted 2017 podcast, she claimed “black people demand special treatment.” In a 2018 Instagram post she went as far as to proclaim her style as ‘Nazi Chic’.
Ironically in February after an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Schroeder publically begged Bravo not to terminate her contract, captioning her photo, “Dear Bravo, please never fire me, because I love this s*** so much.”
Schroeder and Doute weren’t the only cast members fired for racist behavior, newer stars Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni were also fired. A network insider released the statement:
- “Racism and discrimination have no place on Bravo, so Stassi, Kristen, Max and Brett left the powers that be with no other option. The people behind the decision are now discussing ways that Bravo can publicly and more thoroughly address the situation.”
