Stassi Schroeder rose to fame for her involvement on the Bravo hit show, "Vanderpump Rules," a reality show that became an overnight sensation. Led by Lisa Vanderpump in 2013, the series was a spinoff from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," and has had viewers hooked ever since. The original cast of Stassi Schroeder, Jax Taylor, Katie Maloney, Tom Sandoval, Kristen Doute, Tom Schwartz, and Scheana Shay, gave fans some seriously jaw-dropping moments. The drama around Stassi's exit dragged in a former VPR cast mate, Faith Stowers, and her onscreen friend, Kristen Doute.
During an Instagram Live session (via NBC News), Faith recalled a Daily Mail article about a woman who was allegedly drugging and robbing men, perPage Six. Stassi and Kristen made a false report and claimed to the police that the woman in question was Faith Stowers. "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. This is like, a true story. I heard this from, actually, Stassi during an interview," Stowers explained.
Reportedly, Stassi and Kristen bragged about calling the police and military police on Faith. Stassi was accused of being racistand the pair werefired from "Vanderpump Rules"as confirmed by Bravo (viaVariety)in June 2020. Life after "Vanderpump Rules" has proved to be more reserved for the starlet.

Stassi Schroeder made a name for herself during her stint on "Vanderpump Rules," however, she wasn't always a household favorite. In fact, in a recent study by Nicki Swift, of 574 individuals surveyed only 83 chose Schroeder as a favorite. Lala Kent was ranked number one. After her public downfall from the show, Stassi claims that she learned a few lessons along the way.
"I'm someone who messed up quite a few times. I am the reason why I am in this situation. I think a lot of people wanted me to focus on cancel culture and whether I was a victim or not but it's not how I feel at all," Schroeder admitted in an interview with Tamron Hall in September 2020, (via Us Weekly). "[People thinking I'm racist] has been the hardest part of all this." The reality TV alum added, "I don't have hate in my heart. But I recognize that I wasn't anti-racist. That's something I've been learning throughout all of this," she said.
Although Stassi has since apologized for her actions, the damage was too much to repair and she was fired from the show, and subsequently, deals she acquired throughout her stardom began to decimate. Billie, Ritual, and Secret Deodorant were among some of the companies that reportedly part ways with the reality TV star according to Variety.

Stassi Schroeder came under the hot seat for a bit, however, it appears that life for the star has since turned around. Since her departure for racially insensitive remarks that resurfaced, the "Straight Up With Stassi" host got married to Beau Clark in a backyard celebration in September 2020. For her, their love in unlike any other. "I feel really lucky right now. I haven't had a relationship like this," the "Next Basic Level" author gushed to Us in June 2018 about her relationship with her now husband. "I didn't know that I could find someone that we'd just be best friends and love each other and he'd be so nice to me and supportive."
The dotting pair welcomed their first child, daughter Hartford, in January 2021, and admitted to her pregnancy being a positive outlook while navigating through the darkness. "I think [it] made me so much better to be pregnant while I was going through a hard time," she explained in a March clip from her new "The Good, The Bad, and The Baby" podcast, (via Us). "... I think our baby 100 percent saved me." The couple launched their Patreon channel, "The Good The Bad The Baby," which is a weekly podcast that provides listeners with an unfiltered glimpse into their lives with their daughter.
