It’s been a while since Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark fought on screen, but an awkward argument over his very close bond with his sister — which somehow included a Jax Taylor name drop — tops their past reality TV drama.
During the second season of Vanderpump Villa, which premiered on Thursday, April 24, Stassi, 36, and Beau, 45, made their return and it was just like the old days on Vanderpump Rules. While celebrating Stassi’s birthday, the couple were joined by their loved ones and it only took a few minutes for Stassi to call out their issues.
“Beau has a habit of putting his sister Georgia’s needs before anyone else — including his wife. Beau met his sister later in life so maybe this is just all him making up for lost time?” Stassi explained in a confessional. “I try to pretend like it isn’t weird but it is f***ing weird.”
Outside of her confessional, Stassi didn’t mention her concerns about the dynamic between Beau and Georgia until dinner. A conversation about tattoos brought up Stassi’s insecurities about Beau having Georgia’s name tattooed on him — but not hers. Georgia noted that Beau “asked” her while Beau argued that he had an S on his finger that faded away.

The tense conversation only got worse when Beau brought up Stassi’s ex.
“Jax has yours. I’d rather not copy your ex-boyfriend’s [tattoo],” Beau said in reference to Jax’s infamous ink dedicated to Stassi, whom he dated on and off in 2013. “When you get someone’s name — who you are in a relationship with — tattooed, it is notorious for bad omens.”
Stassi didn’t see Beau’s point of view, sharing in a confessional, “It is time you get my signature on your body. It hurts my feelings,” Stassi, who shares daughter Hartford, 4, and son Messer, 19 months, with Beau, noted. “You can’t have your sister on your arm and not your wife and the mother of your children. That is f***ing weird.”
She continued: “It is a bad omen when you are in the beginning of a relationship or a toxic relationship. But when you are married to someone, it makes me feel really embarrassed. I am feeling really angry.”
The night only got worse when Stassi noticed how much attention Beau was paying to his sister.
“You don’t need to helicopter over your sister. She is a grown woman,” she told the cameras. “I am a mixture of pissed off, angry and mortified.”
Stassi asked her own sister, Georgianna Schroeder, and best friend Taylor Strecker whether she was in the wrong. Georgianna mocked Georgia and Beau’s need to “cuddle” while Taylor poked fun at the situation.
“There was an episode of Law and Order where siblings meet and they haven’t known each other their whole lives so sometimes one feels feelings of love toward the other,” the podcast host joked. “It was just Law and Order … which is based on true stories.”
Despite acknowledging that she had a few drinks, Stassi wanted to get her message across. “I gave birth to his children,” she added. “I have s*** them out in different ways all through my vagina but he can’t get my name tattooed on his arm.”

Stassi escalated the situation by bringing it up to Beau on her big night, saying, “I am supposed to be your No. 1. It is not about the f***king tattoo. You put your sister in front of me. It is because you feel safe with me. I can make you feel unsafe.”
Beau, however, told Stassi she needed to “check yourself about how you are talking to me.” Stassi ultimately walked away from the conversation but continued to vent, adding, “I need to come before his sister. I need to come before everyone else. I didn’t know he was a f***ing d***.”
Later in the episode, their friends discussed the awkward argument. Georgia was taken aback by how involved she was in the situation.
“Why do we all know she’s first but she doesn’t,” she asked before slamming the comparisons. “Are we talking about a wife and husband and a brother and sister? I don’t even want to be in this conversation.”
Beau and Stassi worked out their issues the next morning after she once again brought up being “second” to his sister. Beau took “responsibility” for his fault in the situation and promised to put her first.
Stassi, however, made it clear she was “not in the mood for apologizing.” As the season wrapped up, Stassi and Beau left in a better place than where they started.
Vanderpump Villa is currently streaming on Hulu.
