MVFrostsMyPie June 10, 2020 Share June 10, 2020 (edited) I feel like Stassi will try to capitalize from all of this in a year or so when she thinks everyone's forgotten (which, hopefully people won't have done so) where she does a national speaking tour about her redemption ("how not to be a racist bitch") and soul-searching and make it allllll about her (of course). It would be awkward for Beau to stay on this show now that Stassi is fired, although it'd be hilarious if they blurred her out in scenes (and muted her while we're at it).

The Ringo Kidd June 10, 2020 Share June 10, 2020 Stassi will be back on the show once the hysteria does down if they feel it will goose up their ratings. The other three will not as they don’t have the following that she does. 4 Link to comment
Callaphera June 10, 2020 Share June 10, 2020 8 hours ago, Steph J said: You know shit's getting real when corporations start choosing to cut ties with their cash cows rather than closing ranks to shield them. It helped that Housewives from Atlanta and Potomac were speaking out about it during and after the media blitz. Porsha has become the face of Bravo's outspoken BLM movement (she's been doing amazing work) and what makes more money in the long run for them: Housewives from two franchises or Stassi? Because let's be real, Kristen is trending down now that the Witches have booted her out of the coven and no one really cared about Max or Brett. A lot of people have been saying that the show needed either a fresh reboot or it needed to be put out to pasture. Popular opinion made the decision for them. Once it started hitting the big media sites, they didn't have much choice but to shit-can them. I just hope the trend continues and Bravo makes See You Next Tuesday (to pick up your final paycheque) a thing now. 8 hours ago, dosodog said: No. But eventually. Winter, spring, summer or fall.

bichonblitz June 10, 2020 Share June 10, 2020 I read on DailyMail that a source close to Stassi and Beau said they have "saved up" alot of money so they are not financially hurting. What bullshit. She bought a 1.7 million dollar house and spend a huge $$$$$ amount of money renovating it. They also took countless trips to Europe on her money. Obviously Beau doesn't know how to save because he lived in that rent controlled apt for 15 yrs and didn't have enough to help with the down payment on the house so he could at least have his name on the deed? Stassi wasn't a "star" for that long to where she could have sooooo much money saved. They may get through a little while without jobs but that won't last very long. I'm sure she was counting on an advance for her next book that she is supposed to be working on but didn't her publisher drop her as well? 10 Link to comment
UniqBlue69 June 10, 2020 Share June 10, 2020 I can understand the skepticism of some around here, but trust me, Stassi will never be back on Vanderpump Rules if the twitter mob has something to say about it. They are relentless -- just ask Jenelle Evans from Teen Mom 2. Not only were they able to get her fired from her show but they have successfully blocked her from profiting off any endorsement/sponsorship deals. Bravo re-hiring her would be a PR nightmare and trust and believe that they don't want that clusterfuck on their hands. She's done on Bravo. 13 Link to comment

I read that too and thought it was a bunch of spin and horse shit. I imagine she and Beau were spending based on the incoming money and not saving for a rainy day much less losing it all. If they haven’t already dropped as publisher I expect they will bc no one wants to be associated as backing those ousted in this climate. And while I one day may eat these words I don’t find Stassi compelling enough that she would be a candidate for a comeback story one day. The fan base is too narrow. Last night I went to her website and it would have allowed me to purchase tix for a Jan 2021 show through Ticketmaster. Does anyone know when shit hits the fan such as this is that gig gone as well? Can she sell it as a redemption tour? I don’t know enough about agents and PR to know if that goes by the wayside when they drop you. 2 1 Link to comment

Lauren Conrad appeared wealthy on Laguna Beach for instance but I never got that from her odd “you can do better Beau” mom. They don’t seem deep pockets.

Also- since all the pros in her life have abandoned her maybe they can’t sign off o everything posted but if there was ever a reason for me to be ok with Basic Bitch getting fired it’s his “she loves to entertain and is a great person”.

glowbug June 10, 2020 Share June 10, 2020 I get the impression that Stassi's dad is upper middle class. They can afford a nice home in New Orleans and they probably took vacations and he could afford to pay for her college but I doubt he could afford a nice house in Los Angeles, let alone one in New Orleans and in Los Angeles. Stassi's mom always struck me as middle class. I don't think either of her parents can afford to pay the mortgage on her new almost 2 million dollar home. Stassi may very well have enough money saved up to make do for some amount of months but there's no way she can weather the financial hit longterm. It's not just that she had a sudden temporary loss of income, it's that her future earning potential is now significantly less than it was one week ago. It's not like she was fired from Vanderpump Rules but can fall back on her podcast, live show ticket sales, book sales, and appearance fees because all of that is gone too. She never had a shot at scripted stardom and she now doesn't have any hope of reality stardom on another show or network either, which may have been the case had she been let go for storyline reasons or because the show ended. She can certainly find another job/career but it's unlikely she will be able with her skill set and education to find something as lucrative as reality stardom and her podcast. In all likelihood, she is going to have to adjust her lifestyle accordingly unless she dumps Beau and marries someone with actual wealth. 7 Link to comment

Yes, they likely can do all you describe but can they pull the mortgage for a 2 million dollar home, give her what her podcast was making, supplement all else she lost - not likely.

That tells me all I need to know right there. To whomever thought Stassi will become a real estate agent...I can totally see her trying to parlay this shit onto Million Dollar Listing because I don't think she is capable of holding down a normal job that is not reality TV. She thinks she's UP HERE and we're all DOWN THERE. Fuck that shit, welcome to the real world you basic bitch! 2 8 Link to comment

She fucked Jax with the 90 year old immobile woman she was taking care of in the room. That is disgusting, elder abuse and Faith should have lost her job. Not to mention the family of the woman should have reamed her. If anyone pulled that on my grandparents and I found out about it? God help them.

le bordel chaud June 11, 2020 Share June 11, 2020 (edited) This is all so fucking disgusting. It outrages me that everything has been taken away from her. Even if she deserved it (and Lord knows she has said and done lots of problematic things in the past), the timing shows that the pretense is off the charts. It's like I did something bad at my job that was worth being terminated over. But my employer decides to give me another chance for whatever reason. I'm good at other parts of my job, they think I can get help or get better, etc. And I do get better. I've shown no bad behavior and completely cleaned up my act. Suddenly two years after the fact, COVID has left my company hurting and in a horrible way. They have to cut costs and they get rid of me citing the incident that happened two years ago. I'm sorry but none of this is right and leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. Especially because technically I don't think she called the police on Faith because she is racist. I think she was feeding into Brittany's delusions about her and Jax's relationship and trying to punish Faith. She would have done the same thing or something similar had Faith been white, Asian, or purple. Of course, the consequences of the police getting involved when it comes to black people can be devastating. But in this case, they didn't get involved because they knew Faith was an innocent party. Also, Faith is no heroine. She is morally corrupt and had no issues sleeping with multiple men (including one who was taken) in order to have a storyline on this show and acquire maximum TV Time. She did this while she was responsible for the care of a helpless elderly woman. I mean, you do you but gross. And also, she failed. Bravo didn't want her and she did all that sexin' for nothing. But she's having her time in the sun now. Nikolai's plea cracks me up, because Stassi must have told him what Faith cares about. Money and fame. I have no respect for her either. The comments Stassi made on her podcast about Me Too and sexual assault were far more offensive than anything regarding Faith. This was two and a half years ago, and I would have totally understood if she got fired from Bravo and her podcast then. But she didn't. All of this social justice warrioring and virtue signaling is disgusting and doing more damage than good. It only distracts from the real problems that need to be dealt with. Now I hope Stassi will be OK. But it's clear as day to me that she's being made into a scapegoat and taking the fall because of a change in the climate regarding issues of race. Bravo doesn't give a fuck about black people or gay people. Nor should they necessarily--their job should be producing entertaining content for us to enjoy. So this whole firing seems completely disingenuous and transparent. If they had any kind of backbone, they would have fired Stassi in November of 2017 and Brett and Max would have been toast the second those tweets were uncovered. Actually, they would have someone competent to vet potential talent so they would have never been hired in the first place or would have had their social media scrubbed spotless before ever filming a scene. Bravo dropped the ball and this isn't, "Better late than never." This is sticking your head out the window and feeling which way the wind is blowing. They have no character or convictions. I find their actions far worse than anything Kristen or Stassi did. Ultimately, they're the ones that should be held responsible for everything they gave their employees prior passes on. Bravo should fire themselves and just go off the air. That's the only way I'd believe they were actually sincere about any of this. Edited June 11, 2020 by Victim Noises 1 19 Link to comment

We've run into each other in a few different boards here and I've always respected your opinion (and your username always make me think about Cody telling Paul to just "wait a second" before he fucked off into the backyard and never returned to talk about the egg shells. Hee!). But. Why is the blame for the sexual encounters that Faith and Jax had always Faith's fault. She wasn't the one in a relationship when the sexing occurred but it's always Faith that did wrong in this situation. Was it wrong for her to sleep with someone that wasn't single? Sure - but why does none of the blame fall on Jax? Why does it make it okay for Jax's ex-girlfriend and her best friend - who Jax also slept with while she was in a relationship with someone - to not only call the cops multiple times, to not only call the military police and claim that Faith was AWOL, but to blast her in interviews and on social media calling her a thief and saying that she was wanted for grand theft auto. And Jax slides like he always does and like he's still doing. Didn't James admit that he slept with Kristen to get on the show? Why aren't we chasing him down the street with pitchforks? He's just as problematic. I'm not touching the whole caregiving thing because that's completely separate from the issue - it's an argument that's being used to distract from the main story. Because I don't think it matters what Faith has done in her life - no one deserves the treatment that she got from Stassi and Kristen (interesting side point: I actually think that Kristen is more at fault for most of what happened but Stassi is the bigger name so she gets all the attention in this case). And I do think that neither of them were rubbing their hands together and ironing their white sheets while doing this but I do think that there were definite unconscious biases at work here and that they both needed to address that. Further, I'll just point out that I've never heard of Kristen calling the cops on any of the other random women that cast-members have slept with so it's hard to say whether she would have done that - this is the only case of it occurring. 12 hours ago, Victim Noises said: The comments Stassi made on her podcast about Me Too and sexual assault were far more offensive than anything regarding Faith.

All of this social justice warrioring and virtue signaling is disgusting and doing more damage than good. It only distracts from the real problems that need to be dealt with. Unfortunately, Stassi never learns from her mistakes. Just a few weeks ago on her podcast, she was talking about that viral video of Michael Bublé physically pushing his wife during a livestream and "joking" that videos like that was the content she wanted to see coming out of quarantine - she wanted to see couples physically abusing each other for her entertainment. And I think that's the real crux of the matter for me: Stassi hasn't learned. Last time, after she lost sponsors for her MeToo comments, she laughed it off because sure, she lost some but she was getting some of them back and more sponsors were wanting to work with her. If she hasn't learned about comments like that, how can we say that she's learned from what she did to Faith? I don't feel like Stassi's apology was heartfelt (again, interesting point: I did feel like Kristen's was more genuine). I feel like if it was, she would have apologized to Faith and she wouldn't have waited a whole seven days before putting up a cut and paste apology on Instagram that was probably slapped together in a few minutes. It's words. Stassi could have taken that week to show action. But she didn't. Instead she hunkered down and thought it would blow over and that it would be like last time, and she could go back to being problematic Stassi making "edgy" comments. She is a bit of a scapegoat, I will say that. You're right that if it really was a concern for Bravo, they would have done something about it before. Like I said earlier in... one of these threads because the conversation had spread fucking everywhere and I can't keep up, the two big issues were that it hit the big media markets and that Bravo's own black reality stars started reacting to it. Stassi was fucked the second Porsha retweeted one of the articles with "WTH" as the caption. I don't know if it's a bad thing, though. It might have the rest of the Bravo stars who have done similar things shaking in their boots (Harry Hamlin wearing the swastika, Luann de Lesseps wearing black face in an episode, Brandi Glanville's "joke" about black people swimming and Lisa Vanderpump pooh-poohing it, Brandi Redmond's IG videos that she went to the "racism spa" for). It's hopefully the first shot fired that lets these people know that it's not okay to do stuff like this - but that's only if the pressure stays on and if Bravo actually want to see this thing through rather than just one performative firing and now our hands are clean. Stassi's only in her thirties, she's a pretty blonde, and she can be charming. She can easily turn this around but she's too busy victimizing herself through videos from her brother and her mom pushing the Stand Up and Support Stassi IG group and petition. She's remaining quiet which is the worst thing she can do but it also seems to be the route she's choosing. This may be the first time in her life that she's learning that there's consequences to her actions - unfortunately she had a big stage and a loud voice for those actions so the consequences should be of equal size and volume. 26 Link to comment
