To be honest, I was like, ‘Holy shit, it’s so much worse than I thought, look at her.’ She’s the problem too but it was wild to see just how much of a hold he has.” “The bombshell was that we saw just how fucking horrible and controlling he is. “I think the bombshell was that the way that that interview was conducted, how she acted, the things that she said, the fear in her eyes over losing Sandoval for telling the truth,” Stassi said. Stassi said she knows people were disappointed by what was being teased as a “big reveal” in the third reunion episode, but that in her opinion Raquel’s standalone interview was actually significant if viewers pay close enough attention. Katie said she enjoyed herself at the reunion but felt like there were a lot of points about her own issues that she didn’t have the chance to discuss. But Katie’s traumas ended up taking a back seat once the cast members found out about Scandoval and turned their complete attention to Sandoval and Raquel. She also had contentious moments with both Schwartz and Raquel for making out at Scheana’s wedding in Mexico and not respecting her boundaries or feelings. During filming, she had a falling-out with Scheana Shay because she encouraged Raquel to hook up with Tom Scwhartz, despite the fact that Katie asked her not to. Katie said she originally was not looking forward to going to the Season 10 reunion. “But this time around, I’ve never wanted to be at a reunion more.” After the reunion’s over we’re like, 364 days until we have to do this again,” Stassi said. “We’ve always said the reunion is the worst day of the year. When it came to discussing the Season 10 reunion, Stassi reflected that even though the cast would typically talk about how much they dreaded filming the reunion every year, she “felt so left out” not being at this most recent reunion taping. Stassi Schroeder speaks onstage at Straight Up With Stassi at Ace Hotel on June 24, 2023, in Los Angeles, California. “I feel like society doesn’t like women that do stand up for themselves.” “But I feel like the misogyny that is behind that is the one that gaslights,” she went on. “I could honestly write a dissertation about misogyny at this point.” She explained that as much as she has tried to “embrace Tequila Katie,” because she can be a good time, she knows the alter-ego exhibits toxic traits. “I think about misogyny a lot,” Katie said. When Katie joined her on stage, Stassi asked if she thought her longtime nickname “Tequila Katie,” which Katie’s friends called her when she would get drunk and angry, was born out of misogyny, and how she feels about viewers reevaluating gender roles on the series in light of Scandoval. ![]() ![]() At the final show on her Straight Up With Stassi Live - The Mommy Dearest Tour at Los Angeles’ Theatre at Ace Hotel on June 24, Stassi brought out her best friend and VPR star Katie Maloney and the two of them opened up about their thoughts, opinions, and histories on the Bravo reality series. (Incidentally, for the Arsenal fans, Spiteri confirms that she remains close friends with Thierry Henry – her daughter’s godfather.Stassi Schroeder may have been let go from Vanderpump Rules back in 2020, but she isn’t holding back from giving her opinions on Scandoval, the drama surrounding her former cast members, and her own past moments on camera. “I’m like a Labrador … I get very excited, because I cannot believe my luck.” From performing on stage with the Wu-Tang Clan (in Glasgow last week) and recording at Abbey Road, “I never feel intimidated,” she says. “Had they been a male-fronted band, they probably would have had a lot more recognition.”īut overall Spiteri seems pleased as punch to still be drawing a crowd. Spiteri commends her bandmates for “not taking the easy route” by bringing her onboard as singer. (She also mentioned hanging up on Ol’ Dirty Bastard because of his greeting: “Yoyoyo, what’s up cupcake”.) He literally belittled me in front of my whole band, he was really condescending,” she says. ![]() ![]() Spiteri responded: “No, but I’m a musician, and it’s my fucking record. She recalls being patronised by (of all people) a session tambourinist, who rejected her feedback on technique with the comment: “You’re not a percussion player”. It is a tough fight, going up against the men, but it isn’t any different than if you’re stacking shelves in Tesco – it’s the way of the world.” “I never really differentiated between female and male pop stars … I have never thought: ‘I’m a woman in music’. Spiteri is enjoyably ferocious and foul-mouthed about her experience of being a woman in the music industry, though as a fan she had never seen any difference between her heroes Joe Strummer and Debbie Harry. Sharleen Spiteri talks to Alexis Petridis.
