Actress Laura-Leigh, who made a memorable appearance on the first season of “Vanderpump Rules,” is breaking her silence on the alleged bullying Stassi Schroeder put her through more than 10 years ago.
Fans of the hit Bravo show — which is going through a complete cast overhaul for Season 12 — will recall that Laura-Leigh briefly dated Jax Taylor shortly after his split from Schroeder, fueling the women’s feud.
However, the “Client List” alum claims in a new interview that the rift went much further than just a few snarky remarks and dirty looks.
“I would have shifts where Stassi and her little crew would come in and spill drinks on me or send me hate letters through like the cooks or [say], ‘Come sit in my section’ just to berate me during my shifts,” Laura-Leigh claimed on the “Vanderpump Rules Party Podcast” Thursday. “These things that were so wrong.”
The “We’re the Millers” actress said she can now look back on that behavior and think her former co-stars were “doing that for the show” to drum up drama, but “everything felt very real” to her at the time.
Laura-Leigh, who is a recovering addict, also recalled another incident in which Schroeder allegedly accused her of “stealing her medication” when it was indeed Taylor who had allegedly taken it.
She did not return to the Bravo series after Season 1 in order to further pursue her acting career.
Schroeder, for her part, went on to star on the show until she was fired in 2020 following some backlash she and co-star Kristen Doute received for allegedly calling the police on Faith Stowers, the only black cast member to appear on “Vanderpump Rules,” in 2018.
The two reality stars accused Stowers of a crime she did not commit and were labeled racist as a result.
Schroeder and Doute apologized for their actions, but Bravo decided to still move forward without them.
Taylor exited the series that same year alongside his then-wife Brittany Cartwright.
However, the couple — who have since separated and are headed for divorce — got their second chance at reality TV with the “Pump Rules” spinoff, “The Valley,” whose second season is set to air soon.
Schroeder said she was asked to star on the show, as well, but turned it down because it “wouldn’t be a reflection” of what her current reality really is, adding, “It’s just not my group of friends.”
She has been married to Beau Clark since 2020 and they share two children together.
Reps for Schroeder did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment on Laura-Leigh’s remarks.
