Stassi agreed to talk to Tamron Hall for her first interview and during their interaction on video chat, she admitted to being uneducated about racial injustice.

“She wasn’t in a good mood afterward and felt like she was put on the spot," the insider explained. "She has built her brand on being candid and funny, and she feels afraid to make any wrong comments or jokes and having them come across negatively, which, in turn, made the interview awkward."
“She doesn’t want to make a wrong move or say anything that can be taken out of context because she really has been taking time to work on herself," the source continued.
