Vanity Project Cluster B Schaudenfreud? What did I just watch…?
After taking a long break from reality tv, I was curious. I just finished watching. I don’t even know where to start. I was expecting actual growth from Stassi? What did I miss? I truly don’t understand. All I took from the show is that Stassi wants to build an empire à la Kris Kardashian (gross?), be enormously famous, and everyone around her exists merely to serve her in her quest for wealth and influence.
I felt like I was watching Cluster B personality disorders everywhere, especially BPD and NPD. Katie was a breath of fresh air, and she unwittingly summarized the entire show: unless you are on her payroll or she birthed you, she has no purpose for you (except for Katie because she needed another compelling reality vet to help carry the show). Her breakdown at the end was exactly my experience with diagnosed BPD people. She turns everything on everyone else and becomes the biggest victim on the room when her behavior is questioned. It was hard to watch.
Also her cancellation references were so awful. Girl, it didn’t happen to you. You received natural consequences for abhorrent (and potentially very dangerous) behavior. It was a clinic in not truly owning your actions.
I’m kind of just… grossed out by all of it? Ick. Thanks for a place to rant. Now I’ll swear off reality tv for another couple years 😬…
PS - She has had excellent work done, and I’m glad she’s at least owning all of that. There, I said something nice! Haha.
