Stassi Schroeder is said to be distraught after being fired from Vanderpump Rules, losing several partnerships, and being dropped by her representation. Is her new dream home in jeopardy, too?
The reality star, who is reportedly pregnant with her first child, fell on extremely hard times this week after some of her past racially insensitive comments in addition to calling the cops on her former co-star Faith Stowers resurfaced, she lost everything.
Now, without the money from her Pump Rules salary, reportedly $525,000 per season, and other projects, Stassi is allegedly worried about losing the $1.7 million dollar property she purchased back in January. The Mediterranean-style luxury home was purchased by Stassi with a six-figure down payment and the star also forked over thousands more in renovation work.
“Stassi really broke the bank paying for their first home, and now she’s worried about being able to afford it with no work coming in,” a source told The Sun. “She is by no means struggling for money and has plenty saved, but it’s a pricey property to hold onto long term. Now she feels like she’s lost everything she’s spent years building.”
Fiance Beau Clark previously commented on the show about counting on Stassi for the down payment, as he has “a great job” but wasn’t in the same place financially as Stassi.
More reports of Stassi’s well-being have been circulating this week, as insider sources reveal how emotionally distressing the whole ordeal has been.
“Stassi has been very emotional by this situation and has been sad and crying, and also angry,” an insider told Us Weekly. “She feels blindsided that she was fired and lost her podcast and sponsorships.”
After sharing a public apology to her Instagram page, Stassi apparently “didn’t think” she would be let go from the network. “She was genuinely apologizing and felt bad about her action and feels like it backfired on her,” the insider added.
The Next Level Basic author also shared her thoughts on long time mentor and Pump Rules matriarch, Lisa Vanderpump, who issued a public statement after the firings.
“[She] doesn’t think her getting fired is Lisa’s fault by any means,” the source said, stating how Stassi had no hard feelings toward the 59-year-old restaurateur.
