Former Vanderpump Rules cast member Stassi Schroeder has been thrust into a fresh wave of controversy after a series of leaked text messages allegedly revealed her making shocking remarks about the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. According to the leaked screenshots circulating online, Schroeder appeared to dismiss Kirk’s passing with the phrase “Good riddance.”
The texts, reportedly shared in a private group chat, quickly spread across social media platforms, igniting outrage from both fans of the Bravo reality series and observers beyond the show’s loyal following.
Fans in Shock and Disbelief
The backlash was immediate and intense. Vanderpump Rules fans—already familiar with Schroeder’s history of controversial behavior—took to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to voice their anger.
“I don’t care what your politics are—celebrating someone’s death is disgusting,” one fan tweeted.
“She has learned nothing from her past scandals,” another added.
Others questioned how Schroeder continues to secure podcast deals and public appearances despite repeatedly being embroiled in high-profile controversies. The phrase “Good Riddance” quickly began trending, with many users tagging Bravo executives and demanding they distance themselves from the embattled star.
A Pattern of Scandal
This is far from the first time Stassi Schroeder has come under fire. In 2020, she was fired from Vanderpump Rules following revelations of racially insensitive actions toward a fellow castmate. Since then, she has attempted to rebrand herself through podcasting, writing, and family-focused social media content.
Yet each attempt at redemption seems to be undermined by fresh controversies. Critics argue that Schroeder’s latest scandal underscores a pattern of reckless behavior and tone-deaf commentary, making her an ongoing liability for any network or brand association.
Political Undertones Intensify Debate
The involvement of Charlie Kirk—a polarizing conservative figure—has only amplified the controversy. Schroeder’s alleged remarks have ignited debates not just among Pump Rules fans but also within wider political and cultural conversations. While some of Kirk’s critics might quietly agree with her sentiment, many condemned the lack of respect shown in celebrating a death, regardless of political divides.
Career Fallout Looms
Industry insiders suggest that the fallout from the leaked texts could be severe. Bravo, which has already distanced itself from Schroeder once, may face pressure from fans to issue a public statement. Meanwhile, sponsors and advertisers linked to her podcast ventures may be reevaluating their contracts.
Crisis management experts note that Schroeder faces a familiar crossroads: issue a swift and unambiguous apology—or risk further alienating what remains of her fan base. However, given her track record, some fans doubt that any apology would be taken seriously.
The Road Ahead
As the outrage continues, Schroeder’s professional future appears increasingly unstable. While some loyal supporters may defend her comments as private and “taken out of context,” the wider public perception is clear: she has crossed yet another line.
With Vanderpump Rules fans erupting in shock and disappointment, the question remains whether this latest scandal is survivable—or if Stassi Schroeder has finally exhausted her chances at redemption.
