Stassi Schroeder just lost a bunch of her sponsorships. Comments that she made in 2018 resurfaced and she’s facing lots of backlash. She bragged about the time she and Kristen Doute called the cops on Faith Stowers back in 2018. Faith brought this up during a Black Lives Matter discussion on Instagram Live.
Stassi and Kristen apologized for what they did in separate social media statements last night. However, the internet doesn’t stop and another racially insensitive rant has resurfaced and Real Housewives of Potomac star Candiace Dillard has called her out.
Someone linked to a clip of Stassi’s podcast where Stassi complained about the people who wanted more races represented in film. Yes, Stassi actually took issue with this. Before we get to Candiace’s response to that clip, let’s revisit what Stassi had the nerve to say back in 2017.
Stassi began, “I’m gonna offend a lot of people right now, but I’m gonna do it in a way where I hope people don’t get offended.” Spoiler alert: a lot of people got offended.
Stassi continued, “I’m like really sick of everyone making everything about race. Like, I’m kind of over it and I know that I am the one person who’s not allowed to say that because I am a white, privileged, blonde, 28-year-old. So, I get that.” Spoiler alert: she so didn’t get it.
Stassi said, “I’m saying it. I know, but I have a podcast and it’s an outlet to say what I think and if you don’t like what I think or what I have to say, then like you don’t have to listen to it. You can turn it off or unfollow me. Whatever, whatever, but like everyone giving their impassioned speeches about race and all that stuff, I’m like why is it always just about African Americans?” Wow. She really said that.
She added, “Like why aren’t the Asians being like ‘we’re not represented’? Why aren’t like, I don’t know, like Native Americans and Latinos being like ‘we’re not represented’? Why is it always just that? Then, like whenever they get upset, everybody has to go above and beyond to then make them happy. I hate saying the word ‘them’ because not everybody’s the same. I mean the one’s that are like out there, bitching about things.”
Then, Stassi concluded, “I don’t think people aren’t being nominated because of their skin color. Maybe you weren’t nominated last year because you didn’t do that great of a job in your movie.” She insisted, “Like, it’s not about race. It’s not about what you look like at all, it’s like your acting abilities. Like, what the actual fuck?” Oh, girl. No. Just no.
Yes, this is from 2017, but nothing happened as a result. She’s still starring on Vanderpump Rules, unscathed as the designated “hero” of the series.
In response to the clip, Candiace tweeted, “This is real. This is a blistering example of what happens when you give fools access to microphones. It’s a conspicuous example of what happens when people rot away in their microcosms: They then emerge LOUD & WRONG with no apologies because there’s no one around to CHECK them.” Mic drop.
TELL US- WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT PEOPLE CALLING OUT STASSI FOR HER PREVIOUS COMMENTS? HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT CANDIACE RESPONSE? HAS STASSI GROWN SINCE THESE COMMENTS?
