Stassi Schroeder dumped by advertisers over comments she made on Straight Up with Stassi podcast
Stassi Schroeder has found herself engulfed in chaos and with sponsors pulling out of her podcast, she may be out of a job too.
Being a public figure is an intense job. You have to watch what you say and do because all eyes are on you. Stassi Schroeder has been a reality television star for several seasons now. Vanderpump Rules is what she is known from, and then she began her Straight Up with Stassi podcast. Things had been going well for the Louisiana native, but now, not so much.
If you don’t know what is happening in Hollywood, you must live under a rock. The sexual abuse being exposed is disgusting, and so many have come out to say #MeToo.
During a recent episode of Straight Up with Stassi, this subject came up. Stassi Schroeder criticized the campaign, and now the advertisers are pulling out left and right.
She is insisting things were taken out of context and has spoken out on social media. Schroeder has lost at least three sponsors, which is just a start. If everyone (or most) pull out, the podcast will end.
According to People, Stassi Schroeder is standing behind the idea that her words were twisted. Social media has been taking all of this in. Right now, Stassi could lose her podcast at the very least. There are now fans calling out the Bravo network to reassess Stassi Schroeder and her appearance on Vanderpump Rules.
Stassi has caused a world of trouble for herself. Not only is she labeled because of her role on Vanderpump Rules, but she is no longer considered an ally of the #MeToo victims. She has repeated that the episode was done with the best of intentions, but that is not how listeners are taking it. Schroeder made a bad call with this and now, her life could be affected indefinitely.
Fans are expecting a public apology and admission of accepting responsibility for her comments at the very least. Stassi Schroeder may have had the best of intentions with that episode, but fans are upset and that is what matters most to the sponsors.
