Page Six is reporting that she’s just hired a powerful new PR agency and is getting ready to try to return to the limelight.
The publication claims she hired PR and branding firm Align — which also reps Matthew McConaughey, tennis star Naomi Osaka, Jameela Jamil and Lea Michele, among others — to get her name back in the headlines for more appealing reasons.
“Just in time for the baby,” an insider revealed, who suspected that Schroeder might be hoping the delivery of her first child might give her a leg-up in her attempt to rebuild her image. She’s due in January.
The couple got engaged in July 2019. They got married in a secret ceremony in September and are currently expecting their first child together, a daughter, who is due in January 2021.
In July, Bravo announced that Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni would not be returning for season 9 of Vanderpump Rules after racially insensitive remarks from their pasts resurfaced.
Radio.com subsequently confirmed “Straight Up With Stassi” was taken down from Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Stitcher.
“We recently learned of racially charged and inappropriate actions by Stassi Schroeder during one of her previous projects,” Radio.com said in a statement. “In light of this, Radio.com has made the decision to part ways with her. We take these matters very seriously and condemn these actions. ‘Straight Up with Stassi’ has been removed from our portfolio.”
Schroeder initially apologized for her comments. She broke her silence about being fired by Bravo on the Tamron Hall Show in Sept., revealing she hired a “coach” to teach her about racism.
“I want to be a better person. I’m pregnant and I want my daughter to be proud of me,” she said. “And I want to be part of the solution. I’ve been a part of the problem for years now. And I recognize that and that’s why I say, I don’t feel like I’m a victim of cancel culture. People want me to be mad at it and I’m not. I needed it. I needed that.”
Schroeder, who also came under fire for comments about the #MeToo movement and #OscarsSoWhite controversy, added, “I was a Karen who basically said, ‘But what about all lives matter?’ Black people are dying, because they have been oppressed for 400 years. All lives can’t matter until Black lives matter and that’s something that I’ve realized.”
