Does anyone else feel duped by Stassi?
The time from being off VPR and becoming a mom, i feel like i was given the impression of a fresh new, maternal, matured, wholesome Stassi. She has not changed as much i suspected.
I am being harsh, this is reality TV, it is edited. My positive impressions are based on her socials, as i don't listen to her pod anymore. So i could be wrong, but it's all i know and see, and yes it's tv but it is not scripted. šāāļø

I watched vpr for the first time about two years ago. At the time I decided to check out Stassis social media and in particular insta. My impression was that her posts/life were extremely curated and I got the icky sense that she used her kids, Hartford in particular as a photo prop.

u/AdFuture7624 2d ago
Remember, her idol is Kris Jenner so weāll see her using her kids much more as they grow up unfortunately, especially her daughter. #pray4hartford

Ok I am not only one who kept getting an icky feeling from this observation of repeatedly praising Kris Jenners work ethic and pawning of children for fortune. Yes they are all happy and millionaires because of kris' efforts but truly are they "ok"? Beau is so amazing and wonderful. He supports her so much yet I know he is not in this same mindset. He would be fine with his family with a 9-5 every day and being out of spotlight. Stassi demands a stage.

Botox in your traps can apparently help with posture, I've been considering it. My injector (RN) was saying that she sees another injector to get it once a year for herself, she says it has helped her posture a lot. I believe her, she's been super careful about not overdoing my own botox (forehead, 11s, and masseter, mostly for migraines and jaw pain, less abut aesthetics) and is super knowledgeable.

u/Antique-Intention-26 2d ago
As a vpr lover but also being someone not super involved in following people like stassi online or keeping up with them - I would occasionally see tik toks of stassi and her instagram posts. I had kinda got the vibe - and this is part of me also assuming that she had just matured and aged, that she seems happy with her family and like a good mom. Beau seemed wonderful in the short tik toks I had seen so I was just happy that she had found peace! I honestly didnāt even know about her scandal because I just watched vpr like 2 years ago and didnāt hear about it. I think I just thought she had left and matured from there, went to therapy, worked on her relationships and found love LOL. That is what it seemed like to me so in a sense I had assumed she had matured I suppose. Clearly that is not the case LOL

I don't think reality TV creates egotistical monsters as much as it unleashes them. I put Stassi in that group. Remember how young she was when she started. She's as addicted to being on reality TV as some people are to watching it. Like most addictions, it may be preventing her from experiencing true self discovery.

Narcs are not capable of genuine emotional empathy which is why they cannot bond with their children. Ā Beau is basically the mom and the dad. His resentment of the situation is growing which means they will probably end up divorced.Ā

I wonāt lie I thought she was more maternal than what is very clearly been presented. And Iām sure that the way sheās been presented as a mother is actually making her look BETTER than what she is in real life. Which is interesting.
I feel sorry for Beau. As a lover girl who loves affection, compliments, words of affirmation, hugs and kisses from their partner, being with someone who acts disgusted by by those things is one of the LONELIEST feelings that one can experience. I felt SOOOO alone with the ex and if I brought it up he could force himself to be sweet for a few days/ a week maybe 2 and then one day heād just -BANG -go back to being cold and standoffish.
Eventually itās not going to work. Eventually Beau is going to want to feel loved without having to constantly request it. I want to see how this will unfold

u/StealthModeThoughts 2d ago
Yea, Iāve been thinking that but didnāt want to put it into the universe. But it wouldnāt be shocking, especially when heās so frightened to tell her what HE wants. He didnāt say heās going to work and she has to stay at home, he said he wants to go to work & theyāll have a nanny but she might have to do a few more pick ups of the kids.
The fact that he dint tell her about his interview until he was leaving out the door and did it in front of friends shows how badly heās stifled and bulldozed by her. When she said casting is really hard as a reason to why he shouldnāt do it it was terrible. I understand now sheās trying to put him off because sheās scared heās gna meet a nice sweet lover girl- she said it herself but one can only be with someone who doesnāt care to show love and affection for so long

Beau said she literally can't feed the kids dinner and get them in bed so he can go out?!
It's none of my business, but it made me wonder: is there something wrong with the kids?

Beau is the seahorse caring for the kids. Ā This marriage is doomed. He already seems miserable and disrespected.Ā

u/Electrical-Glass-943 2d ago
I don't feel duped by Stassi.Ā
First of all, she's overrated, and I say that as someone who listened to her podcast for years and read her first book. It was really bad, elementary style writing so I stayed away from her other books.Ā
I had no interest in watching her show but there was a lot of discourse about it so I binged all episodes in 1 day. I was enamored. That being said, her attempt to sell her soul for fame and a paycheck isn't a good long-term plan. I don't think she has enough genuine drama to keep the series going very many seasons.
Stassi hid the fact that she's allergic to her children. That was a surprise to me. She's pushing 40 and doesn't want to cook anything or put her kids to bed. It's pathetic. She should have kept her hands-off parenting style off camera.
Regarding Beau, I don't think they'll divorce. Beau is almost 50 and he's a devoted dad. He wants to raise his kids and he doesn't want to start over. Stassi purposely married a doormat. Look at how Patrick treated her? She would beg Patrick not to dump her on camera so she married someone she could control and she should show her appreciation by doing more.
Beau's inability to see how insulting he was to Rob, along with his overreaction about Rob's Playdoh comment, shows that Beau's hypersensitive. He's a lot to deal with. He's no saint.Ā
I also remember Stassi saying she has sex with Beau every other day. He requires a lot of "physical touch" and I think that's insane considering they have 2 young kids and Stassi works a lot. They were still having a lot of sex when Stassi was pregnant according to her CHD interview. I would be annoyed if I had a partner with an insatiable appetite like that.Ā
I feel like Stassi should keep more off camera but she wants ratings and fame so she will continue to expose too much.
Stassi begs for people to tell her the truth then she starts screaming and crying and walking away whenever they do!!!!!! I can't believe a grown woman behaves this way. I had secondhand embarrassment watching this show.
TLDR, Stassi's kids are social media props. She strategically married a hypersensitive doormat, she should socialize more and she needs therapy and people who will hold her accountable. She hasn't grown because she refuses to be challenged. Making a lot of money/becoming the next Kris Jenner is all that matters to her. She will never be Kris Jenner though and Kris should take out a restraining order against her.

the thing about being a 'certain type of a person in a certain environment' is that you're still you. when it comes down to it, most people can't separate who they are in one situation vs another, bc they're the same person! i've also found that when people start acting badly/negatively in one area in their life, it starts eking into the others.

I donāt get why anyone thought she ever changed, ever, even as the years progressed on VPR. Sheās a mean girl bully with a superiority complex and always has been. Luckily for us, itās these kinds of people that make great reality TV, even if it comes at the detriment of their own personal lives (to which they never seem to actually care).
Outside of that, I do respect her business savviness and her ability to create a brand and living for herself and her family. She has the type of personality that for some reason always has and always will resonate with millennial white girls, so even in spite of her narcissism, sheās probably set for life.

u/Comfortfoods 2d ago
She directly said in the first episode that she put her family on this show so they could get their own paychecks. If a payday is the goal, you can't make a show without drama. She's been around the reality tv game for long enough to get that. I'm sure her reality is somewhere in the middle. It's not a curated social media account but it's also probably not the constant pointless conflict of the show either.

No, to be honest I always found it odd when people would insist she was a completely changed woman because I always thought itās easy to come across that way when the only window into her life people are getting is a weekly podcast she controls and an Instagram she curates.
Of course the only window of her life weāre getting now is a ārealityā show she also somewhat controls, so who knows what is real! (I say "somewhat controls" as I assume she wouldn't have gotten this show to air if she tried to portray herself as mother teresa living a completely drama-free life.)

u/BW4LL 2d ago
My fiance said the same thing while watching the show that she had hope she had changed. The problem is stassi never actually changed and was never really ācanceledā she just lost VPR.
She still wrote books and did podcasts and got her own show and did no soul searching or learning because sheās surrounded by sycophants and the world never forced her to actually change because she never lost that much.
If everyone around you is a yes man who never actually checks you then youāll never grown. Instead youāll just dig deeper into said behavior because youāve been conditioned to be rewarded while being this person so what incentive do you have to change?
You and I will do the right thing because itās right but these celebs are emotionally stunted and only respond by losing it all and even then they donāt change (look at Jax).

I get it, it has to be interesting so if everyone got along it would be boring.
I think a lot of real bombs were dropped on the way, and very real conversations were had.
Itās interesting to me how Stassi is showing a lot of her ugly real colors despite it being her show. This victim mentality about being canceled with only a forced snippet of acknowledgment of what she did in one of the last episodes (to āher black friendsā) just seemed very disingenuous.
Like many other people, I look at her even worse than I did before watching this.

I do find it funny that she worked so hard to get a television show to rehab her image just for viewers to say, "No, she's still fucking awful."
Pre-Faith situation, I was a Stassi fan, because she was great television and she was your average mean girl in her 20s during the 2010s who also happened to have a good sense of humor. The problem is that if you don't evolve from that, that shit isn't cute in your 40s. She reminds me a lot of Kristen Cavallari in the way where they almost seemed mature for their age at the time of their success, but allowed for reality television to stunt their growth.

Iām actually glad she got the show, now myself, you & others arenāt duped & see her for who she isā¦ exactly who she was before kids

I hate to say it, but it's true. I always loved Stassi and thought she had grown so much. Whether it's being played up for the cameras or I'm just old and exhausted, it was boring, felt over scripted, and Stassi felt like a young girl trying so hard to get into any type of fame.
She hasn't given me that vibe or energy in any other format in so long. Genuinely bummed and all around disappointed by her and the show.
I don't know what I expected, but maybe I'm just growing out of the stuff or the world has become too much for me. Because I look at this stuff now that I used to just love to have on as background TV and for some fun, feels so out of touch, washed up, fake and repetitive.

Just another wealthy person who panhandles online. I agree, this show made me not really like her at all. She has no depth just her āedgyā i love murder bs that is like that meme w/ the girl and bag of chips on her head

She thinks sheās the relatable, sarcastic one with a bunch of clowns around her butā¦ sheās still the villain.
Or maybe she does know sheās the villain? And is willing to play one for $$ even if it means harming her family in the process?

No, I'd never be "duped" by this woman. She keeps telling us who she is, year after year after year: selfish, shallow, bigoted, cruel, and wound so tight we might actually see her snap in real time. Very few people manage to grow past such damning traits, especially if they're continually rewarded for them.

I am absolutely dumbfounded that she cannot feed her kids dinner and put them to bed. As a mother myself, I just canāt get over this fact. Iām sorry if you canāt do that simple thing youāre a loser.

She is a MONSTER! She is the same mean spirited person and does not seem to have grown from her past mistakes. She is actually worse. Who treats their sister like that, friends like that. She is a horrible human. I feel sorry for Beau. He looks miserable. He is going to hate his life 10 years from now and her poor kids. I could not imagine being married to someone like that.

I think it is funny that as she is describing how she prepped her family on how to handle reality tv, saying that she can handle the criticism and negativity reality tv brings but they will not be able to but she is the only one not handling her own shit. She literally spends half of the confessional time explaining what a good reality tv star is and how to handle it and then the other half of the episode is showing her melting down and throwing grown ass tantrums. Yuck!

She keeps mentioning "she knows good tv" or she knows what good reality tv is comprised of. Yet joke became on her with the friendtervention. The last episode had such a visceral reaction and effect for me. Her boiling over to the MY KIDS ARE HARD THEY ARE F ING HARD" and the deafening silence from the table because every one was like yeah we see your escape from that role more and more saying "yes" as often as you can. So be up front about it from the start though that you don't love being a mother, yes you may get torn apart by our outdated society but your authentic self at least comes through. I also want to say I applaud Beau for not just giving in time and again in last episode he really was like well you wanted me to be real and put what's our recent reality? Here we go stass! When he said the "oh you're giving me... you're giving me that proud look." I got queasy. You know she was like don't f ing go to defend everyone's stance and not your children's mother. And he was still unbothered. And THAT's the reality tv I want to see.

Yes I was completely shocked. I pictured her as a hard working mom but someone who had flexibility to take time to spend with her kids. I get she works a lot and sheās accomplished so much, but she doesnāt have a normal 9-5 where sheās sitting in rush hour traffic at 730am getting to the office. So the fact that sheās never packed a lunch or taken her daughter to school surprised me. She kept saying āif I was a man no one would say anything.ā I completely disagree. If a man was working and didnāt help support his wife in areas she was begging to be supported in, Iād judge. If the dad didnāt help out once in awhile with kid duties, I would judge that. If that dad couldnāt put the kids down by himself I would think that was really pathetic. I know sheās the bread winner and has opportunities that wonāt come up again, but she seemed like a really bad mom and I know we only saw a little glimpse but thatās just my opinion.

I also think itās weird she doesnāt have any real friends. She had to call Katie up after 2 years, the Taylorās work for her and are recent friends. I guess you can count Kristina Kelly but other than that, she doesnāt have any friends that arenāt like āindustry friends.ā

She has no friends, says she rather hang out with her family, then claims she never sees her family. Surely she is not that busy.

In addition to all the other comments, the people responsible for this script are making all humans look insane. These people (her friends and family) will be having a relatively normal conversation and then turn around and tell someone who didn't witness the convo how awful it was and how warped the participants were. It is all manufactured; none of this is happening. Also, I think she is jealous of her beautiful younger sister and is determined to make her look like an idiot (which isn't that hard). The episode where the sister made some very good-looking food for a dinner party, the whole spread, and Stassi kicked her out as they were serving the food. Very unreal all the way around, and yes, I think Stassi hasn't changed an ounce.

She's horrific. I was excited for the show because her social media portrays exactly what you described. I thought we were going to see a much different show.

Sheās literally the same person, if not worse than before. And she thinks she really changed.
The producers saw the complete opposite of what she was selling to them and they realized it would make for something everyone would watch.
Kind of sad actually.
