Vanderpump Rules star Stassi Schroeder has been notoriously unlucky in love.
Sadly, Stassi typically attracts guys like Jax Taylor and Patrick Meagher, who are almost impossibly douchey, even by the standards of GNC-junkie West Hollywood Zoolander types.
So many fans took it as a step in the right direction when Stassi revealed her relationship with Beau Clark, a seemingly normal dude, who’s probably never undergone a reiki chest waxing.
But like Tom Schwartz before him, it seems Beau is an affable, easy-going guy with enough of a dark side to make him a perfect fit with the rest of the Vanderpump cast.
Or at least the rest of the cast better hope that’s the case, because this show is in desperate need of new blood for its upcoming seventh season, and it seems producers have set their sights on Beau.
Stassi recently posted the photo above on Instagram, along with a caption reading:
"Baby’s first credits #pumprules"
Yes, it seems Beau is joining the increasingly crowded Vanderpump credits sequence which is basically a Renaissance painting with lip fillers at this point.
And given the size of the egos at SUR, perhaps it should come as no surprise that the rest of the cast is less than thrilled by the idea of sharing screen time.
"Stassi’s boyfriend joining the show has a lot of cast members really pissed off,” an on-set source tells Radar Online.
“They feel like she is just desperate to get a spin-off.”
Sources say Stassi’s inner circle is also concerned about the possibility that Beau might be using her in order to gain fame.
“No one thinks that this is going to end well at all and they warned her that bringing Beau on the show will likely end in disaster,” the source adds.
“She is telling everyone that Beau didn’t even want to join the show," the insider adds.
"But everyone believes that is BS and that he has been eyeing a spot on Vanderpump Rules ever since the two of them started dating.”
There’s reason to be suspicious, as Clark’s financial situation would likely make a cushy, six-figure gig on a reality show seem like quite an attractive prospect.
According to Radar, Clark filed for bankruptcy in 2012, citing $55,000 worth of credit card debt from lenders such as American Express and Citibank.
Filings reveal that his salary at the time amounted to just $3,025 with $2,989 worth of assets.
As for his liabilities, they totaled $62,147.33.
Granted, this was six years ago, but Beau was already well into his thirties at the time, and it’s not like LA is an easy place to get back on your feet.
As is his wont, Jax Taylor responded to the situation with an abundance of ‘roid rage, tweeting:
“Please tell me who said the cast is “pissed” where do they come up with this fake crap.
"Beau is the best thing that has happened to our group and if one person in our cast thinks otherwise they can f-cking leave.”
Yes, it seems Beau has replaced Brittany as the best thing to ever happen to the Vanderpump crew.
The tendency to adopt newcomers and treat them like defenseless, wounded puppies is one of the weirder things about this group.
