Tamron also asked Schroeder about racially insensitive comments she made on her “Straight Up with Stassi,” podcast when addressing the #OscarsSoWhite campaign, to which Schroeder responded:

“I’ve been wanting to talk about this podcast more because going through these past few months and working with a teacher and learning about Black history and just the obstacles that Black people face every single day, I look back on the podcast and I am so embarrassed that I even had those thoughts much less put it out there. I was a Karen who basically said ‘What about All Lives Matter?’ Schroeder continued “I have been wanting to talk about this podcast because I now know how to speak for Black Lives Matter…to be able to defend it when people are questioning it.”

Schroeder also addressed her infamous “Nazi Chic” photo caption that was shared on her personal social media account in 2018, and has since been deleted, saying:

“I am so embarrassed. I’ve been embarrassed about that for three years. It was a poor joke amongst me and my friends and it was so wrong. And again I have spent my life as a privileged person and it is my fault, I have to say this, that I have not educated myself before. It is absolutely my fault that I didn’t know better, but the issue is I did not know better.”

Later in the interview, Schroeder explained how she plans to move forward and how her perspective has changed, saying “I just want to be a better person. I’m pregnant and I want my daughter to be proud of me. And I want to be a part of the solution, I’ve been a part of the problem for years now. And I’ve recognized that. That’s why I say I don’t feel like I’m a victim of cancel culture. People want me to be mad at it and I’m not, I needed it.”

On how she plans to explain these actions to her future daughter, Schroeder said:

“And that’s something that I ask my coach about all of the time, how best to talk to a child about this. Because like I mentioned earlier, when I was learning about everything, I think the weeks that we focused on Black history a light went off in my head. Just learning about everything for a couple weeks straight, all at once, I had never thought about the oppression that Black people face in that way. There was just so much that I didn’t understand, and again, it’s my fault that I didn’t educate myself.”

What do you think about Tamron’s interview? We love that she asked Stassi if her change of heart was financially motivated. Do you think Stassi should be granted any grace for her apologies and regret or is she forever cancelled?
