STASSI SCHROEDER: I WAS A KAREN!!! For Racist Oscars Comment. Stassi Schroeder is actually admitting she was a Karen years before it became a thing … at least that’s how she now views her infamous bitching about the #OscarsSoWhite campaign. The ex-“Vanderpump Rules” star made the self-assessment while on the ‘Tamron Hall Show’ … saying her 2017 comment on her “Straight Up with Stassi” podcast was insensitive.

A little back story … long before she was fired over racist behavior, Stassi complained saying, “I’m like, really sick of everyone making everything about race. I’m kind of over it … everyone giving their impassioned speeches about race and all of that stuff, I’m like, ‘why is it always just about African Americans?’”

Check out the interview … Stassi says the comment itself is something she’s been wanting to talk about for some time. She says over the last few months she’s learned so much about Black history and the obstacles they face as a community every day. Suffice to say … Stassi is now embarrassed about having that mentality and putting it out there.

It was so bad, Stassi recognizes, that she labeled herself a ‘Karen.’
