On the rocks again. Nearly 10 years after Vanderpump Rules fans first saw Stassi Schroeder and Jax Taylor‘s messy breakups, the duo have had another public falling out.
The Next Level Basic author — who reconnected with the former model as friends after he met now-wife Brittany Cartwright in 2015 — and her husband, Beau Clark, made headlines in May 2022 when they publicly slammed two of their friends for dropping out of their Roman wedding at the last minute. Though the newlyweds didn’t name the duo in question, many Bravo fans quickly figured out that they were referring to Taylor and the Kentucky native, who were noticeably absent on the big day.
“We knew that [the husband] was texting Beau’s friend [that they didn’t plan to come]. … [But] whenever we were around them, they’re like, ‘We’re coming,'” Schroeder said during an episode of her “The Good, the Bad and The Baby” podcast, which she hosts with Clark. “Then it kept happening. This person would text Beau’s friends again.”
Adding that the guests had RSVP’ed for the event and repeatedly assured her and Clark that they would be in attendance, she continued: “To our faces, they are telling us that they are coming, but behind our back, the dude is texting Beau’s best friend that they’re not. Good friends don’t do that. They don’t talk s—t about your wedding behind your back or pretend that they’re coming and give a list of reasons why they’re not coming to other people. Friends don’t do that to each other.”
“They knew that we were planning this wedding for this month for a year. So they had ample opportunity to say, ‘Don’t waste an invitation on us because we’re not going to come,'” Schroeder alleged, adding that it was “the way [they] handled” the situation that really upset her and Clark.
One month later, Cartwright confirmed that she and the former sweater designer had a falling out with the newlyweds over the wedding. “We have been definitely closer, I would say, since the baby’s happened,” Cartwright said on the “Betches Moms” podcast in June 2022. “There’s some rifts going on right now. … With me and Stassi, there’s some things going on, which I hate. I love her to pieces. And I wish we could figure this out.”
However, the Vanderpump Rules: Jax and Brittany Take Kentucky alum claimed that she and Taylor — who were very close friends with Schroeder and Clark — did plan to go to the wedding but had to pull out at the last minute. “We had actual reasons why we couldn’t go that were not talked about,” she said. “Like Cruz’s passport didn’t come in, my mom had a death in the family and had to go home … I mean, there was actual things that happened right before the wedding that we actually couldn’t make it to the wedding for those reasons.”
Cartwright added that she “feel[s] terrible” about missing the celebrations and hoped that they eventually put the drama behind them. “I hope that one day, we’ll be able to talk about this and figure it all out. Because I do want our kids to grow up together,” she said. “I just felt terrible about it altogether because that’s just not my personality, I would never try to put my friend in that situation.”
Keep scrolling to relive all of Schroeder and Taylor’s ups and downs, including their wedding fall-out:
Schroeder was already working as a SURver and dating Taylor when she was cast on Vanderpump Rules. "He was not even supposed to be on Vanderpump Rules,” the Off With My Head author confessed during an October 2021 appearance on the "Give Them Lala" podcast. “He was not working at SUR and they cast the rest of us and they were like, ‘Who are you dating?’ And I was like, ‘This guy Jax.’” Broadimage/Shutterstock
Much of the first season of Vanderpump Rules revolved around rumors that Taylor cheated on Schroeder during a trip to Las Vegas and their messy breakup that followed. (At the end of the season, he confessed to being unfaithful.) Jim Smeal/BEI/Shutterstock
The following season, rumors began swirling that Schroeder's best friend Kristen Doute and Taylor had slept together while she was dating Tom Sandoval — and Taylor was attempting to win Schroeder back. He later confessed to hooking up with her, resulting in Schroeder and Doute's infamous fight. “You are a dirty f—king whore,” the Queen Bees alum declared before she slapped Doute over the accusations.

On season 6 of the Bravo reality show, the former Hooters waitress learned that Taylor had cheated on her with fellow SURver Faith Stowers, who later told Us Weekly that he had claimed that he was single at the time. The couple briefly split in the fallout of his affair but confirmed that they had gotten back together in December of that year. Mediapunch/Shutterstock

In June 2019, Taylor and Cartwright tied the knot at a castle in Kentucky, surrounded by their loved ones and their Vanderpump Rules costars. Both Schroeder and Clark were in attendance at the wedding, with the Louisiana native serving as one of the bridesmaids. MediaPunch/Shutterstock
While opening up about her experiences as the only Black cast member on the show, Stowers claimed that Schroeder and Doute had called the police on her for an alleged robbery after learning about her relationship with Taylor. "There was this article on Daily Mail where there was an African American lady,” she told Floribama Shore's Candace Rice via Instagram Live in June 2020. “They showcased her, and I guess this woman was robbing people. And they called the cops and said it was me. This is like, a true story. I heard this from actually Stassi during an interview. It was just funny because they thought it was me because it was a black woman with a weave. So they just assumed it would be me, and they called the cops on me.” Stowers also alleged that she was subjected to racial attacks from pair after they learned about her and Taylor. "I felt like after their friend did something that we both were involved in that he’s done like, a thousand times, they wanted to attack me instead of him. They wanted to attack, attack, attack, attack, attack,” she said at the time. “I was wrong, I was this, I was that, calling me names, saying my hair was nappy, which is weird coming out of their mouths. … I was just really, like, confused that they were attacking me and giving him nothing — in my opinion. He got off very, very, very, easy — especially with the things I’ve been told.” Mediapunch/Shutterstock
Taylor and Cartwright announced their own departure from the show in late 2020, although she implied that it wasn't their choice to step back from filming. “Do you guys really truly think we got to write whatever we wanted?” she commented via Instagram after fans called the couple out for sharing similar goodbye statements.

After Schroeder and Clark welcomed daughter Hartford in January 2021 and Cartwright gave birth to her and Taylor's son, Cruz, in April of that year, the two couples often held playdates for their little ones. "They’ll all grow up as best friends," the Eastern Kentucky University alum told Page Six in May about Cruz's relationship with his fellow Vanderpump Rules babies.

In her second memoir, Off With My Head, Schroeder wrote that she had “zero right to accuse” Stowers of committing a crime, and explained that in the moment, she was blinded by her desire to defend Cartwright. “[Faith] deeply hurt my friend. I was absolutely motivated by that. And I was motivated by the fact that I thought she was guilty of these crimes,” she recalled. “I basically thought I was the karma God just dishing it out exactly where I felt it should be.” Kristina Bumphrey/StarPix/Shutterstock
When the Witches of WeHo cofounder and Clark tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Rome, many of their former costars were notably not in attendance. Later that month, they called out two of their guests for bailing on their wedding at the last minute, despite telling others that they never planned to attend. “Two hours before I‘m about to go to the airport to get married I get a text from friends that are supposed to be our close friends that they’re not going to make it. It was so mind-blowingly insane," Schroeder explained on an episode of her “The Good, the Bad, and the Baby” podcast. Though the couple in question offered many reasons for skipping via text, the husband allegedly revealed in a group chat that he didn't know Clark was a part of that he wanted to go to a golf tournament instead.

One month later, Cartwright confirmed that Schroeder was calling her and Taylor out in that podcast, but claimed she fully intended to come. "I was literally trying to be there, up until the very last minute,” she said during an appearance on the "Betches Moms" podcast. “So there was a lot of things that were going on. And I don’t know, I just felt terrible about it altogether because that’s just not my personality, I would never try to put my friend in that situation."
