Editor's Note: the article below contains spoilers from Season 2 of 'Vanderpump Villa.'Viewers who experienced Season 1 of Vanderpump Rules when it first aired know that Stassi Schroeder was a break-out star. The Regina George of LA's restaurant scene in 2012, Stassi ran things in the friend group featured on the series, all of whom worked as servers and bartenders at Lisa Vanderpump's restaurant SUR. Stassi was fearless, confident, and brash in her criticism of her co-stars, especially her on-again off-again boyfriend, and perennial sinister figure on the Bravo, Jax Taylor. But, her intense involvement in the lives of her co-stars, and her full embodiment of the "mean-girl" Queen Bee role at SUR, got Stassi in trouble with the network when it was revealed she had called the police on a Black co-star in an ill-considered prank.
