Stassi Schroeder and Katie Maloney are reuniting on Schroeder's new reality series, "House of Stassi," following a secret years-long falling out [1, 3].

The reconciliation marks a significant return to the public eye for Schroeder, who is using the personal rift as a catalyst for her comeback to reality television [2, 4].

Speaking at the Disney Upfront presentation in New York City, Schroeder said that the tension between her and Maloney had remained hidden from the public for years [1, 5]. The two former "Vanderpump Rules" co-stars had maintained a public image that did not reflect the internal conflict.

"No one knows that we had a falling out for years," Schroeder said [2].

Schroeder, 37 [6], said that the secret rift with Maloney served as a primary motivation for her to return to the genre [2, 4]. She said the new series provides a platform, and an opportunity, for the two women to work together again [2].

The announcement comes ahead of the series premiere, which was reported in late April 2026 [5]. The production of "House of Stassi" aims to integrate the resolution of this long-standing conflict into its narrative structure [4].

While the exact duration of the feud was not specified, Schroeder said it lasted for years [3]. The reunion is expected to be a central plot point as the show launches on the Disney-affiliated platform [1, 5].

“"No one knows that we had a falling out for years."”

The return of Schroeder to reality television via a Disney-backed project suggests a strategic move to leverage unresolved interpersonal drama to drive viewership. By revealing a 'secret' feud, the production creates an immediate narrative hook that rewards long-term fans of the original 'Vanderpump Rules' cast while establishing a new premise for the spin-off.
