Stassi Schroeder explained her beef with Scheana Shay on Vanderpump Rules, and she addressed Katie Maloney’s drama with Stassi’s best friend Taylor Strecker on House of Stassi, as Taylor reacted.
Though Katie and Stassi reconciled their years-long feud while filming Stassi’s new Hulu show, Katie still had drama with Stassi’s best friend, Taylor. In a recent clip, Katie suggested that Stassi only allows people in her inner circle who are on her payroll. She was seemingly alluding in part to Taylor, a cohost on Stassi’s podcast.
On the latest season of Vanderpump Villa, Stassi claimed that Scheana (Katie and Stassi’s former co-star on Pump Rules) recently stirred up drama among the cast of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
On SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, Stassi addressed her onscreen shade toward Scheana.
“I feel bad about this one. It’s like she caught strays on Vanderpump Villa and then like episode one [in House of Stassi],” said Stassi. “I had asked too, I was like, ‘Should we just like edit this out? Like Scheana, like I want to give her a break.’ And they were like, ‘Well, we can’t edit out the part with Katie’s story because that’s part of our friendship story. … And it’s too funny that she tried to get on Mormon Wives.’”
“And so [I was] like, ‘Okay, fine. Fair,’” she added. “But I feel guilty about it. I do because I appreciate Scheana’s hustle. I respect it. … Our issue with Scheana on Vanderpump Rules was always that she would meddle off camera. And so we always felt like … you’re kind of f**king s**t up by doing things off camera or texting somebody something instead of actually like having that conversation. But I think she’s a fantastic reality star.”
But Stassi said she wouldn’t ever be interested in welcoming Scheana to House of Stassi.
Taylor said Scheana has “had my wrath” for years.
“I’m just so loyal through and through. And even when Stassi’s like, ‘Girl, it’s done. I’m over it,’ or there wasn’t even beef to begin with, I will still fight b**ches,” she said. “So, Scheana has had my wrath for years.”
Later on, Stassi addressed Katie’s drama with Taylor on House of Stassi.
“Taylor was there from the beginning when we started working on this. So she’s like the OG cast member of House of Stassi, and Katie was a last-minute addition,” said Stassi, who clarified that she’s “really thankful” that they decided to “add” Katie. “So [Taylor] had the right to just like piss on her territory.”
Taylor explained, “I pissed all over that fire hydrant and it kind of blew up in my face a little bit in retrospect now watching it. I’m like, ‘I came in hot. I came in heavy. I should have cooled off.’”
But Taylor said she and Katie got to a “good” place, until the season dropped.
“Then I watched the show. And I was like, ‘Oh, five minutes.’ Like, ‘B**ch, only I can say that I’m thirsty,’” Taylor expressed cryptically, seemingly alluding to Katie’s on-screen insults. “That’s my joke. So, I mean, we’re okay, but we do need to have a little talk.”
Stassi added, “[Their drama] puts me in an uncomfortable position, but I also know this is entertaining. Like I can’t help it. My brain just goes to sometimes like I stop feeling … real feelings for Taylor or Katie. I’m like … ‘But this is entertaining.’”
House of Stassi airs July 30 on Hulu.
