Ahead of her third book release, the former Vanderpump Rules star chatted with Bustle about the highs and lows of her career.
“When I look at myself naked, Hartford will see a little line, and she’ll be like, ‘Mommy, ouchie,’” Stassi revealed in the article.
“I’m like, ‘Oh, God, that feels dirty. How will I ever explain to her that this was something that I chose?’”
It’s unclear if the You Can’t Have It All author was alluding to her fall from grace in 2020.
“It just feels like it’s been a secret, and I don’t like secrets.”
“I think that’s part of maybe why I do what I do — podcasts, just living out loud,” she continues.
“Because there is this feeling of: ‘I’m free. Everyone knows my sh*t. I don’t have to hide anything.’”
Stassi’s Cancellation
ICYMI: Stassi and Kristen Doute were fired for their alleged involvement in a racially charged incident toward their costar, Faith Stowers.
After being let go, Stassi hired a diversity coach to learn more, and do better.
Stassi revealed that she never had any intention of leaving Vanderpump Rules if not for being fired.
However, the mother of 2 has two new babies on the way — new Hulu shows!
One is starring on season 2 of Vanderpump Villa alongside her former boss, Lisa Vanderpump. The other being a new “docu-comedy” series titled, Stassi Says.
The self-titled show will feature the reality star helping people through various identity crisis.
“I love reality TV. Even through all of the sh*t, how it makes you a psychopath, how it’s not good for your mental health, I still enjoy doing it,” the Bravo alum says.
