Stassi Schroeder, who was born Nastassia Bianca Schroeder on June 24, 1988, is known for her time as a television personality, fashion blogger, model, podcast host, and a New York Times Best Selling author. She is most recognized for her appearance on the TV show Vanderpump Rules.
Prior to her time on Vanderpump Rules, she was also a cast member of the CBS reality TV show The Amazing Race. She was teamed up with her father Mark, step-mother Char, and her brother Hunter.
As a model, Stassi appeared in publications like Italian Vanity Fair, 944, and Us Weekly.
As the author of Next Level Basic: The Definitive Basic Bitch Handbook, Stassi explained what it means to her to be a “basic b*tch.”
“Well, I think to me it means something way different than what everyone else thinks it is,” she said in an interview with the Observer. “I don’t know when the word basic turned into such a negative thing. Probably when all of those videos came out—you know, those parody videos. Do you remember that?
“I think they’re absolutely hysterical. I just think a lot of the things that people talk about in those videos and what people make fun of as being basic are actually things that, like—not to go all Marie Kondo or whatever—bring us joy. There’s a reason a lot of us act basic or like basic things—because it’s fun. So to me being basic is an enjoyable thing. There’s really nothing wrong with having the same interests as many other people. There’s a reason why these interests are popular: because they’re enjoyable.”
