Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark experienced some marital drama while filming Vanderpump Villa in Italy last summer, and oddly, it involved Jax Taylor.
While celebrating her birthday with loved ones on the second season of the Hulu series, which filmed at a castle and was released on the streaming platform on Thursday, Stassi, 36, opened up about her feelings regarding how close Beau, 45, is with his sister, Georgia, admitting that she had grown irritated with him putting her first.
“Beau has a habit of putting his sister Georgia’s needs before anyone else — including his wife. Beau met his sister later in life so maybe this is just all him making up for lost time?” Stassi wondered in a confessional, via Us Weekly. “I try to pretend like it isn’t weird, but it is f***ing weird.”
At dinner, a discussion about tattoos sparked Stassi’s insecurities about her marriage. As she explained, Beau has Georgia’s name — not hers — tattooed on his body. Meanwhile, he pointed out that he had a faded “S” on his finger and mentioned Jax, 45.
“Jax has yours. I’d rather not copy your ex-boyfriend’s [tattoo],” Beau reasoned. “When you get someone’s name — who you are in a relationship with — tattooed, it is notorious for bad omens.”
Still, in her confessional, Stassi admitted that Beau’s decision against getting her name tattooed on his body hurt her feelings.
“You can’t have your sister on your arm and not your wife and the mother of your children. That is f***ing weird,” she declared. “It is a bad omen when you are in the beginning of a relationship or a toxic relationship. But when you are married to someone, it makes me feel really embarrassed. I am feeling really angry.”
Stassi was then seen becoming further frustrated by how much attention Beau was giving his sister.
“You don’t need to helicopter over your sister. She is a grown woman,” she told cameras. “I am a mixture of pissed off, angry, and mortified.”
During another scene with her sister, Georgianna Schroeder, and her friend, Taylor Strecker, Stassi asked for their thoughts.
“There was an episode of Law and Order where siblings meet and they haven’t known each other their whole lives so sometimes one feels feelings of love toward the other. It was just Law and Order … which is based on true stories,” Taylor joked as Georgianna laughed about the siblings’ need to “cuddle.”
Stassi and Beau tied the knot in September 2020 and have welcomed two children, including daughter Hartford, 4, and son Messer, 19 months, in the years since.
“I gave birth to his children,” Stassi continued, admitting that she had had a few drinks. “I have s*** them out in different ways all through my vagina but he can’t get my name tattooed on his arm.”
As the discussion escalated, Stassi told Beau she should be his “No. 1.”
“It is not about the f***king tattoo. You put your sister in front of me. It is because you feel safe with me. I can make you feel unsafe,” she warned as Beau reprimanded her, demanding she “check [herself].”
Elsewhere, Georgia wondered why her and Stassi’s relationships were being compared.
“Why do we all know she’s first but she doesn’t?” she asked. “Are we talking about a wife and husband and a brother and sister? I don’t even want to be in this conversation.”
The following morning, after Stassi admitted to feeling she came “second” to his sister, Beau took “responsibility” and vowed to make her his priority.
