<p id=”par-4_19″>She said that the breakdown and recent rebuilding of their relationship inspired her upcoming reality show, <em>House of Stassi</em>.</p>
<p id=”par-5_39″>“I don’t see TV shows out there that explore how when you get to a certain age and you all choose different paths in life, how that affects your friendships and then how you come back together,” she said. </p>
<p id=”par-6_15″>She said that she feels her new show captures this phase of her life well.</p>
<p id=”par-7_25″>“We’re starving for something that’s not just aspirational or depressing,” she said, adding that the show “is what it’s really like when you grow up.”</p>

<p id=”par-8_24″>During the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/vanderpump-rules-tom-schwartz-reveals-main-cast-member-seasons-1-and-2.html/”>first season of <em>Vanderpump Rules</em></a>, Schroeder and Maloney had a massive fight. They ultimately reconnected, which Schroeder said came as a relief.</p>
<p id=”par-9_82″>“I knew that Katie was hurting the same way I was, we both were wrong and we both were right,” she told <a href=”https://www.bravotv.com/vanderpump-rules/season-1/blogs/katie-and-stassi-on-friendship-and-frank” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Bravo</a>. “We were both guilty of things and both innocent to a certain extent. I really missed her, and she hadn’t gone out of her way to hurt me, so it just felt right to speak with her. I was so happy with the conversation. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted. I had my sister back again.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_9″>Maloney said she was nervous before discussing their disagreement. </p>
<p id=”par-11_56″>“Stassi has been my best friend for years and this was our first falling out,” she said, adding, “I hadn’t spoke to her in almost a month. I was hoping for the best but expecting the worst. I have always been honest with Stassi and suddenly my honesty was not welcome, which led to our fallout.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_18″>Maloney said that she thought of Schroeder as a sister and was glad to get on better terms.</p>
<p id=”par-13_37″>“Stassi is really like a younger sister,” she said. “I think our friendship is much like a sisterhood, in that I give her that tough love simply because I’m protective and truly want the best for her.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-she-spoke-about-returning-to-reality-television”>She spoke about returning to reality television</h2>
<p id=”par-14_36″>Schroeder was <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/vanderpump-rules-faith-stowers-vindicated-stassi-schroeder-kristen-doute-fired.html/”>fired from <em>Vanderpump Rules</em></a> in 2020 after racist actions against former co-star Faith Stowers came to light. She said she is glad to have been fired, as it forced her to reflect and grow.</p>
<p id=”par-15_51″>“I was incredibly selfish and chaotic and I just feel like I didn’t consider other people before I did things or said things,” she said. “And if I were still in <em>Vanderpump Rules</em>, I’d probably be the same person. This time away from reality TV has shaped who I am now.”</p>
