Stassi Schroeder Clark and Katie Maloney starred together on Vanderpump Rules for several years. However, their friendship has experienced its share of ups and downs. Now, Maloney has shared a new update about where their complicated friendship stands.
Katie’s friendship update on Stassi comes with a caveat
The actress recently appeared on the October 28 episode of Dayna Kathan’s podcast. During the conversation, she opened up about reality TV, her career, and her personal life. She also shared an update on her friendship with Stassi Schroeder, though it came with a caveat.
When asked whether she was still on good terms with her former Vanderpump Rules co-star, Maloney replied, “Yeah, last time I checked.”
She added, “I mean, I know we don’t hang out a lot, but for the most part, yeah, I think we’re okay. Stassi has been so busy. Stassi, she was filming Vanderpump Villa in Austria for a month, and then she’s been in Nashville, and I think she’s in New York now. The girl was, like, never home. I don’t know how she does it all.”
For context, the 40-year-old didn’t just have a rocky relationship with Schroeder. Her tension with Ariana Madix was also no secret to fans. Maloney also addressed her relationship with Madix. She also dismissed rumors that they hated each other, saying, “There’s no rumors that we hate Ariana … Bizarre.”
The tension and distance between Stassi Schroeder and Katie Maloney began behind the scenes over the past few years. Schroeder publicly acknowledged their falling-out in April 2026.
One of the biggest reasons for their falling out was that their lives were heading in different directions. After leaving Vanderpump Rules in 2020, Schroeder focused on raising her family before returning to reality television. She also became a mother of two.
Meanwhile, Katie had divorced Tom Schwartz and was enjoying single life while focusing on her new sandwich shop, Something About Her. Schroeder previously attributed their falling-out to their lives moving in different directions.
