Andy Cohen Discusses Potential Bravo Return with Stassi Schroeder at Something About Her Opening (Exclusive)

In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Andy Cohen hints at pitching Stassi Schroeder a comeback to Bravo during their recent reunion at the Something About Her event. Find out more about their conversation and the possibility of Stassi's reality TV return.

Andy Cohen is thinking about bringing Stassi Schroeder back to reality TV. "I think I might have thrown something out there as I always like to," Andy, 55, exclusively told We on Thursday, May 23, while promoting his partnership with FRESCA. "I do miss her on Bravo."

Andy bumped into Stassi, who is 35 years old, at the soft launch of Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix’s new sandwich shop, Something About Her, earlier this month. Stassi used to be on the same show, Vanderpump Rules, with Katie, who is 37, and Ariana, who is 38, for seasons 1-8.

Andy shared with Us that he had a wonderful catch-up with Stassi at the event. They hadn't seen each other since 2020, so it was a nice surprise. He mentioned that Stassi looked amazing, like a million bucks, and is now a happy mom. They had a meaningful conversation and enjoyed reconnecting with each other.

Andy thinks Stassi could easily fit in on any Bravo show, but he's not sure if she's ready to come back to reality TV.

The reality show Vanderpump Rules has been showcasing the lives of employees working at Lisa Vanderpump's SUR restaurant since 2013. Recently, Bravo approved a spinoff called The Valley, which focuses on former cast members Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, and Kristen Doute as they transition to suburban life.

Stassi has been open about why she was not part of The Valley.

During an interview on Jeff Lewis Live in January, she clarified that Bravo was not to blame. Before production started, she was asked to film a "sizzle reel" for the show. Despite being invited to be part of it, Stassi admitted that she strongly felt against it.

Stassi expressed, "It wouldn't truly represent my reality. They're not all my close friends. I'm friendly with a few, acquainted with some, and I think some of the new ones are nice, but they're not my main group."

There have been rumors circulating that Lala Kent, a former castmate of Stassi on VPR, may be thinking about joining The Valley for its second season. Andy kept quiet about this possibility during a recent interview on Thursday.

"I don’t create The Valley or Vanderpump Rules," he clarified. "The reality is, I see them all existing in the same universe and they are all interconnected. It seems like they all reside in the Valley at this point."
