        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stassi Schroeder has been quiet for a reason.</p><p>The former &#8220;Vanderpump Rules&#8221; star, 32, told Tamron Hall on Thursday that since being <strong>fired from Bravo</strong> for her past racist behavior, she&#8217;s taken time to reflect on everything that lead her to this point.</p><p>“People expected me to just understand everything immediately and things like that take time,&#8221; she said on the &#8220;Tamron Hall Show.&#8221; &#8220;And I felt like it would be better for me to take the time to get a greater understanding of everything and the issues before I opened my mouth again. I’m someone who messed up quite a few times. I am the reason why I am in this situation. I think a lot of people wanted me to focus on cancel culture and whether I was a victim or not but it’s not how I feel at all.&#8221;</p><p>She continued that having people label her as a racist &#8220;has been the hardest part of all this. Just going out to a restaurant and going to the grocery store and wondering if that’s what people think &#8230; I don’t have hate in my heart. But I recognize that I wasn’t anti-racist. That’s something I’ve been learning throughout all of this.&#8221;</p><p>Schroeder was fired from the network in June for calling the police on Faith Stowers, the only black &#8220;Vanderpump Rules&#8221; cast member, for a crime she did not commit. She also made racist remarks regarding the &#8220;Oscars So White&#8221; campaign on <strong>her now-defunct &#8220;Straight Up With Stassi&#8221; podcast</strong> and <strong>captioned a photo of one of her outfits &#8220;Nazi chic.&#8221;</strong></p><p>Now working with a diversity coach, Schroeder was adamant that she was &#8220;being a Karen&#8221; with her ignorance and hopes that her daughter — <strong>who is due in January</strong> —can learn from her mistakes.</p><p>&#8220;I want to be a better person,&#8221; she concluded after Hall pressed her about if she was making these changes solely because she needs an income. &#8220;I&#8217;m pregnant and I want my daughter to be proud of me and I want to be a part of the solution. I&#8217;ve been a part of the problem for years now and I recognize that.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
