Stassi Schroeder’s fiance Beau Clark was seen out in Los Angeles on Wednesday in his first public outing since her firing from Vanderpump Rules amid a series of racist occurrences – most notably, lying to police to get a black costar in trouble with the law.
Clark, 40, wore a dark shirt and black shorts as he was seen in the City of Angels on a scorching hot weekday, topping off things with a maroon Los Angeles Dodgers ball cap.
Clark, who works as a commercial casting director, wore patterned Vans and kept to himself amid the scandal involving Schroeder, who along with Kristen Doute, 37, was fired for filing a misleading police report against former co-star Faith Stowers two years ago.

On the move: Stassi Schroeder’s fiance Beau Clark was seen out in Los Angeles on Wednesday in his first public outing since her firing from Vanderpump Rules amid a series of racist occurrences – most notably her efforts to get a black costar in trouble with the law

Clark and Stassi have been linked for two years, according to Page Six, and he proposed to her last summer. They were engaged in a cemetery with a ring the outlet estimates as being worth around $100,000.
Earlier Wednesday, Schroeder’s mother Dayna Schroeder joined her brother Nikolai in campaigning for Vanderpump Rules to rehire her.
Dayna on Wednesday referred an Instagram user to account titled, ‘standupandsupportstassi,’ an account which features content supporting the return of the 31-year-old to Bravo’s airwaves the day after her termination, Page Six reported. A tagline on the page read: ‘We support Stassi Schroeder and believe every human being makes mistakes and can grow, learn, and change. This page is for fans only!’
The change.org petition as of Wednesday had more than 3,500 signatures with a goal of 5,000. Addressed to ‘Bravo, NBCUniversal, Vanderpump Rules & Lisa Vanderpump,’ the petition argues that rehiring both of the women would give viewers a chance to see them ‘learn from their mistakes.’

Family effort: Schroeder’s mother was on the site a day after her younger brother Nikolai posted a video on Tuesday, hours after his sister and three other Vanderpump Rules cast members were fired over their past racist actions
–
In regards to Stowers’ account, the page read: ‘While no one condones this behavior, we also believe their actions were not racially motivated.’
Among the hopes of the page’s organizers are that both Schroeder and the also-fired Kristen Doute, 37, will get their old jobs back; and voice their opposition to Metro Public Relations, Stassi’s ex PR agency that cut her loose amid the career crisis.
Schroeder’s mother was on the site a day after her younger brother Nikolai posted a video on Tuesday, hours after his sister and three other Vanderpump Rules cast members were fired over their past racist actions.
‘This goes out to Lisa Vanderpump, Vanderpump Rules, Bravo TV, anyone that has been involved with Stassi getting fired,’ Nikola, 15, began his Instagram video on Tuesday night, which has since been deleted.
Stassi, 31, has come under fire for a disturbing racist stunt, along with racially-insensitive remarks she has shared online in recent years. Her fellow cast members Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni were also axed by Bravo.
Nikolai continued in his video: ‘I want everyone to hear me out because my sister is one of the most loving people you will ever meet in your life. She deeply apologizes for what she said and I’m so desperate for her to succeed… I just want her to go as far as she can.’
Stassi and Kristen, 37, have starred on the reality show since its inception in 2013 while Max, 27, and Brett, 31, were newcomers on the most recent season eight.
The outspoken blonde has since been dropped by her agent, publicist and several sponsors after her and pal Kristen’s racially-driven stunt against black co-star Faith Stowers came to light.

Stassi’s brother continued his plea in his video saying: ‘I’m asking for another chance for her, and she’ll show everyone how good of a person she is and how much she cares about everyone.
‘She likes entertaining people, that’s why she does all this TV stuff. My family is heartbroken from what’s been going on with her. Everything’s been taken away from her.’
Nikolai then asked Faith directly in the video, if there was anything she could do about the situation.

Speaking out: Stassi said she’s refocused her mentality amid the career crisis, which has seen her lose sponsors and admit to ‘racially insensitive comments’
–
‘Faith, please, is there any way that she can fix anything or do anything that can benefit both of you guys — to get her career back and to make you live the best life ever?’
‘Is there anything that we can do for you? Please. I don’t want to see my sister like this anymore. I love all you guys, but please, one more chance to forgive her.’
On Tuesday afternoon, Faith said she felt ‘vindicated’ after their firing, in a new interview with Page Six.
‘I feel so vindicated studios and production are able to see blatant racism and make these positive changes and help move the race forward – help with the fight forward,’ Faith told the outlet.

The 31-year-old star continued: ‘I was in the middle of prayer and I felt a sense of – I know it sounds corny – I felt a sense of glory. I felt God’s presence and I’m seeing now [that the news has been revealed] maybe that is what that was.’
Adding: ‘He gave me a sign of optimism meant to be hopeful and showing that all of this was worth it.’
Faith said that she ‘was ready to put myself in the line of fire because I don’t know what will happen if I don’t say anything, but I’m glad I did.’

Apologetic: Newcomers Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni have also been dropped by Bravo. They apologized last week for past racist tweets on the Vanderpump Rules reunion

‘Now I’m seeing Bravo follow suit, releasing women that have given crazy ratings for them because they want to be on the right side of history and I’m seeing people are finally hearing us,’ Faith said to Page Six.
She also said that she hopes networks and production companies are ‘ready to hire casting directors and producers of color to make sure there changes are not just a one-time thing.’
Faith added: ‘I hope they use this time that they have now to educate themselves to why this happened to them and try to use [their] voice later for real change.’
After losing several endorsement deals over the past week, Stassi has now been forced to part ways with both her agent and her publicist, Variety reported Monday.
Stassi was vocal online recently about her support for the Black Lives Matter movement; however, the gestures seemed significantly different to her output from three years ago.

Scandal: Stassi parted ways with both her agent and her publicist after previous racist remarks and behavior has resurfaced

She claimed that black people demanded special treatment in her March 2, 2017 podcast in which she talked about the lack of diversity of Academy Award candidates, referred to on social media as #OscarsSoWhite.
‘Maybe you weren’t nominated because you didn’t do that great of a job in your movie,’ said Stassi. ‘Like it’s not about race. It’s literally like not about what you look like at all. It’s like your acting ability, so like, what the actual f***?’
The New Orleans-born reality star said on the podcast (which she later deleted from her site, according to UsWeekly) of black people: ‘When they get upset, everybody has to go above and beyond to then make them happy.
‘I’m like, really sick of everyone making everything about race – I’m kind of over it.’
Despite the take on race, Stassi had plenty more to say about the topic: ‘Like, everyone giving their impassioned speeches about race and all of that stuff, I’m like, “Why is it always just about African Americans?”
‘Like why aren’t the Asians like, “We’re not represented? Why aren’t … Native Americans and Latinos not like, “We’re not represented?” Why is it always just “that”?’
‘And then when they get upset, everybody has to go above and beyond to then make them happy. And I hate saying the word ‘them’ because I’m not … not everybody’s the same.’
She said that black people were ‘the ones that are out there b****ing about things.’
She implied that Moonlight’s victory over LaLa Land was racial ‘politics’ in play, noting that she ‘didn’t f–kin see’ the movie, but that ‘the reason why it won was because it was like, “The message.”‘
She added: ‘It’s groundbreaking because of ‘the message’. Winning Best Picture to me isn’t about the f***ing message – like it’s not church.’
Stassi said that she was ‘not allowed to say that’ as her opinion was marginalized as ‘a white, privileged, blonde 28-year old.’
