REAL Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams has slammed newly-fired Vanderpump Rules star Stassi Schroeder.
Porsha, 38, responded on Tuesday, after Schroeder’s “Nazi chic” photo resurfaced.
“WTH” [what the hell] tweeted Williams, in response to the image from 2018, which shows Schroeder, 31, smiling while wearing a black hat and a black sweater.
Stassi had captioned it, “Nazi chic.”
Also in the photo are former Vanderpump Rules stars Rachael O’Brien and Kristen Doute, who is seen wearing a red bandana with the words “Tupac Chic” written across the photo. O’Brien’s look was described as “Criminal Chic.”
At the time, Schroeder deleted the original image and then shared it a second time with a new label as “#Elsa-IndianaJones Chic.”
Williams’ reaction comes as Bravo announced that neither Schroeder or Doute, 37, will be returning to Vanderpump Rules.
The exits come after Schroeder and Doute issued apologies in response to a past incident where she called the cops on former VPR cast-mate Faith Stowers.
Stowers – who appeared on seasons 4 and 6 of the Bravo series – recalled a time when Schroeder and Doute spotted a tabloid article about a black woman wanted for theft, and called the police to pin the crimes on her.
During an Instagram Live chat with Floribama Shore star Candace Rice, last week, she recalled: “There was this article on Daily Mail where there was an African American lady. It was a weird photo, so she looked very light-skinned and had these different, weird tattoos.
They showcased her, and I guess this woman was robbing people,” Stowers said. “And they called the cops and said it was me. This is like, a true story. I heard this from actually Stassi during an interview.”
In 2018, Schroeder confirmed calling the cops about Stowers during an appearance on the Bitch Bible podcast.
At the time, Doute tweeted a link to a news story about the woman at large at the time, writing, “hey tweeties, doesn’t this ex #pumprules thief look familiar? someone put her on mtv & gave her a platform for press. I didn’t wanna go there but I’m going there.”
Schroeder apologized in a statement on Sunday, however it wasn’t enough to keep her in her job.
“Racially insensitive comments from my past have resurfaced. It is important that I continue to take accountability for what I have said and done, while pushing myself to do better,” she posted.
She continued: “I have grown significantly from the person I was then, and I am still filled with remorse and regret for the hurt I caused.
“I am grateful for the people in my life that continue to check me and push me to evolve into a more educated person,” Schroeder wrote.
“My emotions over something that happened between our friends outweighed my logic, and there is no excuse for that. I did not recognize then the serious ramifications that could have transpired because of my actions. What I did to Faith was wrong. I apologize and I do not expect forgiveness,” she said.
Doute also shared her own statement on her social media.
She wrote: “I have been taking some time to really process what I’ve been seeing, feeling and learning. And I need to address something specifically that happened a few years ago with my former castmate, Faith Stowers.”
“Although, my actions were not racially driven, I am now completely aware of how my privilege blinded me from the reality of law enforcement’s treatment of the black community, and how dangerous my actions would have been to her.
“It never was my intention to add to the injustice and imbalance. I’m ashamed, embarrassed, and incredibly sorry. I will do better. I have to do better,” she said.
They have both starred in the show, since its debut in 2013.
Cast members Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni – whose years-old racist tweets resurfaced last winter – are also not coming back.
Max hurled abuse at Asian and black people in a series of unearthed Twitter posts and used shocking racial slurs.
“Bravo and Evolution Media confirmed today that Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules,” the network confirmed to People on Tuesday.
