If you thought the whole Vanderpump Rules scandal couldn’t get any more cringe inducing… think again!
To recap, Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute were fired from the show after former co-star Faith Stowers revealed the pair had falsely reported her to the police for a theft she did not commit. A lot more racist comments resurfaced from Schroeder and other castmates, so Bravo’s cleaning house felt totally justified.

Now, fans have unearthed another awkward post that connects to the firing drama. And by “unearthed,” we mean “scrolled slightly down her Instagram grid,” because this post is from just four months ago!
The reality star posted a pic from her appearance on Watch What Happens Live of herself, Summer House star Kyle Cooke, and host Andy Cohen. The caption read:
“Dear Bravo, please never fire me, because I love this s**t so much.”
OOPS! Too late for that!
Fans with schadenfreude flocked to the comments section to make fun of the newly-unemployed TV personality. There were lots of laughing emojis, with the most common refrain being “This post didn’t age well.”
One commenter wrote:
“Awwww man! Stassi!!! Really ??? I truly hope you learn from your mistakes. Super bummed. Contact Faith… give her a true apology!”
Before being fired, the 31-year-old had posted a public apology that included a message for Stowers. She said:
“I also want to address my former castmate, Faith Stowers. My emotions over something that happened between our friends outweighed my logic, and there is no excuse for that. I did not recognize then the serious ramifications that could have transpired because of my actions. What I did to Faith was wrong. I apologize and I do not expect forgiveness.”
Unfortunately, although Stassi “addressed” Faith in her public apology, a source for Us Weekly said she hasn’t done anything to make things right behind closed doors. The insider shared:
“Kristen and Stassi didn’t reach out to Faith directly. But Jackie Schimmel, host of the ‘Bitch Bible’ podcast where Stassi first told the story, apologized privately.”

Meanwhile, fans weren’t the only ones celebrating the VPR firings. Fellow Bravo stars also applauded the decision, including NeNe Leakes, Wendy Osefo, Candiace Dillard, and Justin Reese.
In a comment under Bravo’s IG announcement of the firings, Nene wrote:
“Well alrighty then! Now we have a few more questions to ask about in other areas where there’s a major difference. Should we talk privately or publicly?”
Hmmm! Seems like we should expect more tea to be spilled, as large corporations like Bravo are forced to reckon with their own complicity in racial injustice.
