Vanderpump Rules’ stars Stassi Schroeder and Brittany Cartwright slammed trolls for body-shaming their costar Katie Maloney-Schwartz at an Oscars event.
The reality TV friends replied to nasty comments about Katie’s outfit, saying she looked “amazing.”
After the friends posted photos, some followers claimed Katie didn’t have a winning look on social media: “Wtf is Katie wearing. As her friend you should have helped her out.”
Others were more cruel, shaming Katie’s figure instead of her style.
A social media user wrote: “You see the problem is that we watched Katie from the beginning and half the issue is not the outfit but the weight gain which make the outfits look a lot worse than they would look if she was in shape.
“That, plus her mean personality give out a bad vibe for her. I feel bad for her husband knowing that he probably gets laid once a month and if… their relationship is my worst fear.”
Stassi defended her Bravo bestie, writing on Instagram: “Everyone talking s—t on Katie’s amazingly gorge alternative Parisian-chic Carrie Bradshaw look can go shave their backs now.”
Brittany added: “She looks amazing! Idk what y’all are talking about what so ever! Her style is different and edgy and I love it!”
Stassi, Brittany and Katie were joined by the men in their lives, Jax Taylor, Tom Schwartz and Beau Clark, for the E! News pre-Oscars Brunch special.
Afterward, Katie shared some of the body-shaming comments on her Instagram Story- and her friends coming to her defense.
Katie has discussed challenges with having a positive body image following VPR co-star James Kennedy calling her “fat” during a past season.
Last year, the 33-year-old posted on Instagram of her struggles: “It took me 3 years. I was a very unhappy person. I took it out on everyone including myself. I was unlovable. I vowed to make changes. And I did.”
She went on: “I am going to continue to grow and remind myself of my own strength. If that makes me a mean b***h in your eyes then so f**king be it! I’m remaining true.”
