After much thought, reflecting, and surely someone telling her if she doesn't apologize- she'll lose her podcast, Stassi released an apology. You can decide what you want from it, but it should be noted that after releasing this apology, she is continuing to favorite tweets telling her she did nothing wrong. Feels like quite a PR move to me. If you look in her mentions, you'll see many people (including me) calling this a load of bullshit.

I should note that I reached out to her publicist to see if Stassi wanted me to include a statement from her, and got an automatic response that their offices were closed until Monday, due to the holiday. She still had time to write an apology for Stassi, though...

Sponsors that are still silent: WINC, Texture, and Casper. People have taken to twitter and instagram to ask them for a statement, and Casper has been deleting these instagram comments. We'll see what happens, but as far as I'm concerned, Stassi is over.

Vanderpump Rules is probably my favorite show on television and it's been quite a journey to see Stassi's true colors. She's always been a villain, but in the first few seasons, she was lovable because she actually came off as somewhat intelligent. She has a talent for making herself the bully, the victim, and the hero, all in the same situation, and this is no different.

This story is still unfolding and all you need is access to twitter to keep following and watch as her other cast members take stands, but this is all I can report for now. You can believe her apology if you want, and continue to support her, but I will not.

It is one thing to have an opinion, even an unpopular one. But this is more than unpopular, this is damaging. This has brought pain to many people. This is not a matter of people being "too sensitive these days". We don't need to hear your take, or your friend's take, on something you clearly have no experience with, and know nothing about. This podcast is a great example of the reason people do not come forward. I feel disgusting that I even have to write this, but I felt the need the moment I started listening. And why did I listen? Because I was subscribed! I've had issues with Stassi and her comments before, but when I have free time, I re-watch Vanderpump Rules and I listen to all kinds of podcasts. I'm all about that content. But this is beyond too far, and her reaction to all of it has only proven to me that she does not deserve to have a platform to spew things like this.
