        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stassi Schroeder&#8217;s former friend warned her about her insensitive &#8220;Nazi chic&#8221; photo before it went viral.</p><p>The former &#8220;Vanderpump Rules&#8221; star posted photo of herself, Kristen Doute and comedian Rachael O&#8217;Brien back in 2018, labeling herself &#8220;Nazi Chic,&#8221; Doute as &#8220;Tupac Chic&#8221; for wearing a red bandana and O&#8217;Brien as &#8220;Criminal Chic&#8221; for wearing a beanie and with a flannel tied around her waist.</p><p>The photo was quickly deleted at the time, but screenshots of the image have been recirculating follwing Faith Stowers&#8217; reveal that Schroeder, 31, and Doute, 37, <strong>called the police to investigate her for a crime</strong> based on her race.</p><p>O&#8217;Brien exclusively told Page Six Wednesday that she never wanted to be a part of the photo&#8217;s message, saying: “A little over two years ago I was with friends and took a picture. I saw the way it was being captioned by her and begged for it not to be captioned that way and thus posted.&#8221;</p><p>She continued, &#8220;My attempt for her to understand the severity of her caption went dismissed. That request was not honored, and I have been upset ever since. It was not then, nor has it ever been a reflection of my own value system. I am grateful to not be associated with her anymore. Our personalities and hearts are not the same.”</p><p>While Schroeder received backlash over the photo at the time, she is only now facing consequences for her racist behavior as <strong>multiple brands</strong> have stopped working with her, <strong>her PR agency dropped her as a client</strong> and <strong>she was fired from &#8220;Vanderpump Rules&#8221;</strong> alongside Max Boyens, Brett Caprioni, and Doute.</p><p>It remains unclear what caused the rift between Schroeder and O&#8217;Brien; however, the duo was once so close that <strong>O&#8217;Brien accompanied Schroeder on a trip to Mexico</strong> after she was dumped by then-boyfriend Patrick Meagher the day before they were set to leave for the romantic getaway.</p><p>Regardless, O&#8217;Brien is doing just fine without the former reality star in her life and making the most of having her <strong>&#8220;Be Here For a While&#8221; podcast</strong> by <strong>offering free advertising space</strong> on her platform for black-owned businesses.</p>]]></content:encoded>
