Stassi Schroeder had a rough time filming Vanderpump Rules season 3.

Stassi Schroeder Returns To NYC Amid Rumors She Quit 'Vanderpump Rules'

During a recent Q&A session, Schroeder, who recently hinted she wouldn't be returning for the show's fourth season, discussed the currently airing season, revealing that filming a reality show isn't always easy.

"I'm going to be honest; the whole process of filming a reality show really does wear on me at times," Schroeder told fans. "You get confused between what is reality and what is not. My occupation right now is to fight with others and constantly try to stay one step ahead of everyone else. That's stressful and it messes with my mind at times."

Schroeder has been on Vanderpump Rules since season 1, but for the last year, she hasn't seemed happy with her role. After season 2, Schroeder quit SUR Lounge and moved to NYC, which appeared to be the end of her time with Bravo. However, months later, she returned to Los Angeles and to the show.

Now, as season 3 comes to a close, Vanderpump is once again unsure of her future on the show.

"This season was especially hard for me because I had removed myself from the situation for so long, and then to come back and make it my world again, it was very taxing," Schroeder said. "Emotionally and mentally, it's one giant chess game."
