Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute were fired from Vanderpump Rules by Bravo for making racist comments and racially profiling former co-star Faith Stowers when they accused her of a false crime to police.
Now, some two years on, Schroeder is offering new details to the story that ended her eight season run on the hit reality series.
In a new interview on the Skinny Confidential Him And Her podcast on Friday, Schroeder claimed that there were more Vanderpump Rules cast members involved in the incident, but she and Doute kept quiet about it.
New details: Stassi Schroeder, 33, claims more Vanderpump Rules cast members were involved in 'the indent' that led to her and Kristen Doute being fired from the reality show in June 2020
'There were more people involved in "the incident" that I was fired for,' the Louisiana native, 33, claimed.
'And Kristen and I, obviously we were not gonna take people down with us. So we were like "Lucky you guys, those of you who didn't get called out for this."'
Suggesting that she and Doute took the fall for others, Schroeder added, 'So everyone was pretty kind because I think they were feeling lucky that they didn’t, that they still had a job.'

Schroeder and Doute reported their co-star Faith Stowers, who was the only Black cast member to have appeared on the Bravo series, to police in 2018, claiming she was the suspect they were seeking in an investigation.
It would take about two years for the story resurface, in early June of 2020, during an Instagram Live chat with Stowers.
Not long afterwards both ladies were axed by Bravo for theur 'racially-insensitive actions.'
It was also unearthed that Schroeder had previously made offensive comments during an episode of her Straight Up With Stassi podcast in 2017, where she spoke about Black people and how they ask for special treatment in Hollywood.
As the backlash grew, Schroeder took to Instagram on June 7, 2020 to issue a public apology for her past 'racially insensitive comments.'
She also stressed that it's important she 'continue to take accountability for what I have said and done, while pushing myself to do better.'
