Stassi Schroeder gave West Wilson some words of wisdom ahead of the Summer House season 10 reunion.
“Going to a reunion is really hard when you’re the one that everybody hates,” Stassi, 37, said in a TikTok video on Thursday, April 9. “I had to do it [for the] season 3 [Vanderpump Rules] reunion.”
“I know what it’s like to go in there and be the hated one,” she continued. “You just gotta do it. West has to do it. If he doesn’t, he will never be asked back again, and no one will ever give a f*** about him again.”
Stassi went on to say that “it was the hardest thing in the world” to film the Vanderpump Rules season 3 reunion after she returned to the show following her brief move to New York City. “They kept me separate from the rest of the cast, and I had to walk in knowing that everyone f***ing hated me.”
Now looking back, Stassi admitted that she’s still confused why “everyone” disliked her. “I didn’t do anything to anyone!” she said.
Stassi’s message to West, 31, comes after he and Amanda Batula confirmed in March that their friendship had turned romantic after weeks of rumors.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” Amanda, 34, and West wrote in a joint Instagram statement. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”

Their message continued, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
Fans were shocked to learn that Amanda and West were exploring their romantic connection after she announced her split from husband Kyle Cooke in January. West, for his part, dated Amanda’s close friend Ciara Miller in 2023.
On Friday, April 10, Amanda issued an apology via social media after confirming their romance.
“Hi guys, l’ll keep this short and sweet. I’ve obviously been MIA, but I wanted to come back on and say that I’m truly sorry to everyone I’ve disappointed and hurt, especially those I know personally who I’ve reached out to individually,” she wrote.
Amanda continued, “For the sake of my mental health, I’m going to try to start living life with some sense of normalcy. If you see me out or posting online, please know that this still weighs very heavily on me. I’m not ignoring what’s happened or what’s unfolded. I’ll be at the reunion and will be addressing any and all questions honestly and directly there.”
Bravo has not yet announced when the Summer House season 10 reunion will film.
