“Stassi, Kristen, and Katie have all been hanging out more and celebrating Stassi being pregnant and mending the friendship between the three of them,” a source told Us Weekly. “Kristen and Stassi also talk a lot more often and have been there for each other and are re-learning together and working on ways to work together to share their learning and mistakes.”
If you recall, their friendship had fallen apart due to Doute’s on-and-off relationship with ex-boyfriend Brian Carter, which their feud was played out throughout the eighth season of Vanderpump Rules.
In late June, Doute was spotted at co-stars Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz’s home to celebrate Schroeder’s birthday. Schroeder, who is pregnant with her first child, arrived with her fiancé, Beau Clark, while Doute showed up with her new boyfriend, Alex Menache.
Schroeder and Doute came under fire last month after former SURver Faith Stowers revealed they falsely accused her of committing a crime in 2018.
“There was this article on Daily Mail where there was an African American lady. It was a weird photo, so she looked very light-skinned and had these different, weird tattoos. They showcased her, and I guess this woman was robbing people. And they called the cops and said it was me,” Stowers recalled via Instagram Live. “It was just funny, because they thought it was me because it was a black woman with a weave. So they just assumed it would be me, and they called the cops on me.”
Both Schroeder and Doute released public apologies to Stowers on Sunday, June 7.
“What I did to Faith was wrong. I apologize and I do not expect forgiveness,” the Next Level Basic author, who also lost several brand deals and was dropped by her PR company, wrote via Instagram. “I am also sorry to anyone else that feels disappointed in me. I am going to continue to look closer at myself and my actions – to take the time to listen, to learn, and to take accountability for my own privilege.”
Meanwhile, Doute wrote that her “actions were not racially driven,” but she “now completely aware of how my privilege blinded me from the reality of law enforcement’s treatment of the black community, and how dangerous my actions could have been to her.”
