Another one bites the dust.

Stassi Schroeder has been dropped by her publicist and public relations firm, United Talent Agency, amid backlash the “Vanderpump Rules” star has received for racially insensitive behavior.

“She became a client when her publicist joined our company in July 2018,” a spokesperson confirmed to Variety on Monday. “We made the decision this weekend to part ways with Stassi.”

Page Six previously reported that Schroeder, 31, also lost partnerships with brands like the shaving brand Billie and vitamin startup Ritual as a result of her actions. Her wedding-themed column with Glamour magazine was also terminated.

Last week, the reality star and her “Pump Rules” co-star, Kristen Doute, came under fire for allegedly calling the cops on Faith Stowers — the show’s only black cast member ever —  because they thought she looked like a robbery suspect who was at-large.

“There was this article in the Daily Mail where there was an African American lady,” Stowers, 31, explained in an Instagram Live chat. “It was a weird photo, so she looked very light-skinned and had these different, weird tattoos. I guess this woman was robbing people. And they called the cops and said it was me. This is like, a true story.”

Schroeder has also received additional criticism for controversial comments she made on her “Straight Up With Stassi” podcast.

In an episode about the Oscars, she said, “Why aren’t the Asians being like, ‘We’re not represented.’ Why aren’t Native Americans and Latinos being like, ‘We’re not represented.’ And whenever they get upset everyone has to go above and beyond to then make them happy.” The “them” referred to black people.

Schroeder and Doute, 37, both issued lengthy apologies over the weekend. However, Stowers claimed in a direct message to a fan that neither women have apologized personally or privately to her.

According to Variety, an insider said that Doute has reached out to Stowers. The James Mae CEO not been dropped by any sponsors yet.

Bravo did not return a request for comment about whether Schroeder or Doute would be returning to the next season of “Vanderpump Rules.”
