VPR Stassi Schroeder’s brother begs Bravo to rehire his sister and says she’s a ‘good person’ after ‘racist’ accusations
THE 15-year-old brother of former Vanderpump Rules star Stassi Schroeder has pleaded with boss Lisa Vanderpump and Bravo to give his sister her job back.
Nikolai Czermak said he was “desperate” to convince people to give his older sibling another chance and claimed his family is “heartbroken” after she was fired on Tuesday for Faith Stowers’ accusations of past “racist” behavior.
The teen’s attempt to show everyone how “good of a person” Stassi, 31, is was shared in a since-deleted Instagram video.
“This goes out to Lisa Vanderpump, Vanderpump Rules, Bravo TV, anyone that has been involved with Stassi getting fired.
“I want everyone to hear me out because my sister is one of the most loving people you will ever meet in your life.
“She deeply apologizes for what she said and I’m so desperate for her to succeed. I just want her to go as far as she can,” he pleaded.
Nikolai began to sound emotional as he continued: “I’m asking for another chance for her, and she’ll show everyone how good of a person she is and how much she cares about everyone.
“She likes entertaining people, that’s why she does all this TV stuff.
“My family is heartbroken from what’s been going on with her. Everything’s been taken away from her,” he said appearing upset.
However, Nikolai’s urging comes as other controversial remarks from the Next Level Basic author have been brought back into the spotlight.
Earlier today, a 2017 episode of Straight Up With Stassi resurfaced where the ex reality star complained about “everything” being about “African Americans.”
“I’m like, really sick of everyone making everything about race. I’m kind of over it,” Stassi revealed on her podcast.
“I know I’m the one person whose not allowed to say that, because I’m a white, privileged, blonde 28-year old.
“But, everyone giving their impassioned speeches about race and all of that stuff, I’m like, ‘Why is it always just about African Americans?’”
The author added that when Black people “get upset, everybody has to go above and beyond to then make them happy.
“And I hate saying the word ‘them’ because I’m not….. not everybody’s the same. I mean the ones that are out there b****ing about things.”
During the episode which discussed the “Oscars So White” controversy, Stassi slammed the notion that people of color were missing out on Academy Award nominations because of the color of their skin.
“Maybe you weren’t nominated because you didn’t do that great of a job in your movie.
“Like it’s not about race. It’s literally like not about what you look like at all. It’s like your acting ability, so like, what the actual f**k,” she blasted.
On Tuesday, Bravo announced Stassi and co-star Kristen Doute, 37, will not return next season after it was discovered they once falsely called the cops on VPR alum, Faith.
Faith, 31, revealed the pair lied and called the authorities after seeing a report about an African American woman who was allegedly drugging and robbing men in LA.
