Brittany Cartwright and Stassi Schroeder are on the outs (2024)

Brittany Cartwright confirmed that she and former pal Stassi Schroeder are feuding because she and husband Jax Taylor were no-shows at Stassi's big Italian wedding.

Cartwright, 33, revealed she had done 'everything in her power' to attend the wedding and said she hopes that they can 'figure this out' while appearing on the Betches Moms podcast on Monday.

Recently, Stassi revealed on her own podcast that Jax and Brittany were in the doghouse because they said they were attending the wedding but told friends the exact opposite. Cartwright, however, explained that things were not so black and white.

'There's some rifts going on right now,' Brittany said. '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.'

Brittany insisted that she and Jax 'wanted to be there' and had never pretended they were going, which Stassi accused them of doing.

'I would never in a million years do something like that on purpose,' Cartwright said. 'We had actual reasons why we couldn't go that were not talked about.'

She went on the explain that the passport they had ordered for their one-year-old son had not arrived in time for the trip and she had a death in the family which required her mom to travel back to Kentucky.

'But I know, like, having to wait to the last minute and not being able to be there for someone who I really do think of as one of my best friends, like, I feel terrible about and I'm truly sorry,' she said remorsefully. 'And 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.'

Brittany, who formerly co-starred on Vanderpump Rules with Schroeder, said she had a lot of love for Stassi and Beau.

'She looked amazing at her wedding. I mean, they looked absolutely incredible,' she mused. 'And I know it would have been so fun to be there.'

'At the end of the day, I just hope that they know, like, I did not wait to the last minute because I knew I was going to not be there for weeks. That was not the case,' she explained that she still tried to get there 'up until the very last minute.'

'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,' Brittany said.

Stassi and Brittany haven't had a chance to hash things out in private but Schroeder did open up about her former co-stars no-showing at her nuptials on her The Good, the Bad and the Baby podcast.

The NYT best-selling author said during a recent episode that Jax and Brittany had RSVP'd yes to her wedding but her husband saw screenshots where Jax claimed the couple was never going to show.

'We need to address this with them because I'm not playing this game,' Stassi recalled saying a few weeks before the wedding. 'I ordered all the stuff we needed to have in terms of seat assignments and the place cards. So I need to know if I need to quickly ask to get things rearranged.'

'Good friends don't do that,' she added. '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.'

Last month, Stassi said 'I do' for the second time at her dream wedding to husband Beau Clark inItaly.

The wedding guest list was slashed after she got fired from Vanderpump Rules - though Brittany and Jax had made the cut.

Schroeder's wedding went from 200 guests to just 35 because things were 'too expensive', she said during a recent appearance on the Dear Media podcast,The Skinny Confidential.

'It was supposed to be on Vanderpump Rules,' Stassi said, explaining that her wedding special would have served as a 'bridge' episode for a now defunct spin-off show.

Stassi actually took a producer from the show with her and Beau to Rome back in 2019 to scout locations for the hotel, rehearsal dinner space and wedding venue so they could secure the rights to film there.

The Off With My Head author revealed that the venues refused to let her cancel. At the same time, after her firing over a racism scandal, all of Stassi's revenue streams - the show, her podcast and endorsem*nts - all dried up

'Bravo didn't pay for this s**t,' she said, 'like we paid for the s**t and the venues didn't let us get out of it. Do we want to just eat this money and let it go? Or, like, do we want to, re-imagine what this wedding will look like and like still do it?'

Tom Sandoval and Scheana Shay were persona non grata at the swanky event. Scheana was one of the 70% that actually had her invite rescinded by the bride, while Sandoval was never invited.

Katie Maloney, who is Stassi's baby's godmother, made the cut for the wedding - as did her soon-to-be ex Tom Schwartz.

Kristen Doute - who was fired from the Bravo show alongside Stassi after falsely accusing black castmate Faith Sowers of theft to the police - was also absent from the wedding but had been invited.

Stassi and Beau started their romance towards the end of 2017 and they became engaged in July 2019.

The two first officially wed in 2020 in a back yard with few in attendance due to COVID. They had to wait until 2022 to have a big, splashy wedding of their dreams with their friends in Italy.
