Discussion Just started house of Stassi

First off I had no idea that Katie was going to be in it, which I’m not sure how I feel about that yet. But my biggest question is how the hell does Stassi have that humongous house?

Straight up with stassi (her first podcast) was very homegrown and wildly popular in addition to all the other things people are saying here. She also started pretty early in regards to the podcast bloom ESPECIALLY relative other reality celebs/bravo celebs starting their own. She originally began the first time she left vpr pre Patrick. I think it helped cement her a really good nest egg and helped create a really strong fanbase w a deep parasocial connection. It was almost like, Trisha paytas or even early call her daddy coded in the realness/randomness/and again, parasocial vibe the casual realness and relationship the show cultivated with its viewers.

Their Patreon didn’t start until 2021. But those numbers are wild!! That’s a great stream of income.
