‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Stassi Schroeder Dumped By Advertisers Following #MeToo Campaign Criticism

Stassi Schroeder is being dumped by advertisers ever since she criticized the popular #MeToo campaign on her podcast on Friday.

According to People, a number of sponsors have decided to cut ties with Schroeder and her “Straight Up With Stassi” show. During Friday’s podcast session, the fashion blogger made negative comments about those who accused men of sexual assault or harassment.

Listeners immediately took their thoughts to social media and expressed their disgust over Schroeder’s comments. Some critics also believed that the “Vanderpump Rules” star mocked the #MeToo campaign, a hashtag that is being used by the victims of sexual violence or those who want to stand up against it.

Schroeder’s podcast episode, “Are we on a male witch hunt,” has since been deleted. The host was also joined by her friend, Jennifer Hunt, the co-founder of the lifestyle and beauty blog Pucker & Pout. As of late, it is still unclear if Hunt also made comments about the campaign, as well as the sexual assault incidents in the country.

The model’s reps have not yet released a comment regarding the issue.

Meanwhile, Schroeder has not apologized for her comments either. The host has also been silent on social media, perhaps due to the recent Thanksgiving celebrations. Her last post on both Instagram and Twitter was a photo of herself with her siblings. Schroeder revealed that she’s the eldest and is therefore the “boss.”

In April, Schroeder told Cliché Mag that she’s the one who writes her spiels for her podcast. “It gets hard, but my podcast especially has been one of the most rewarding things that ever happened to me because I did it all by myself. I don’t have a producer who writes lines out for me; I do it, and because it has become so popular, it makes everything I do fun,” she said.

“Straight Up With Stassi” airs every Thursday, and Schroeder said that she can talk about anything and everything under the sun. The host typically discusses things that are on other people’s mind but they are too afraid to say.
