Former “Vanderpump Rules” star Stassi Schroeder has been cast in Season 2 of Hulu’s “Vanderpump Villa” alongside her former Sur boss, Lisa Vanderpump. In addition to joining the show’s cast, Schroeder has also signed a deal with the streamer, and her first project is developing a comedic half-hour docuseries called “Stassi Says.”

Schroeder’s return to the “Vanderverse” comes as somewhat of a surprise. She and fellow “Vanderpump Rules” star Kristen Doute were fired from “Vanderpump Rules” in 2020 for racist actions against their former castmate Faith Stowers. In 2018, after seeing a photo in the Daily Mail of a Black woman wanted for robbery in Los Angeles, Schroeder and Doute reported Stowers to police, but the woman in the article turned out not to be Stowers.

Two years later, Stowers made the situation public after describing what had happened over an Instagram Live chat. Schroeder and Doute were fired from “Vanderpump Rules” shortly after.
