On this episode of TSFS, first aired 2/04/26, I sat down with Stacey Rusch, the breakout star of RHOP who Vanity Fair named one of their favorite performances of 2025, and we covered everything from her journey from Fox 5 traffic reporter to reality TV sensation. Stacey opened up about why she thinks Gizelle and Ashley have it out for her, her unwavering support for Wendy Osefo during her legal troubles, and teased Karen Huger's upcoming sit-down with Andy Cohen as unmissable television where every question gets answered. We also discussed her rekindled relationship with ex-husband Timo and how they're prioritizing each other this time around, her reaction to the "vibes" between Ashley and Mauricio at Kemo Sabe, and her incredible achievement as the first Black woman to own a cannabis company in Virginia with her brand Shayo, which has now expanded to Nevada. Throughout our conversation, Stacey's signature chill demeanor and refusal to let drama get under her skin shone through, proving exactly why she's become such a fan favorite and why her castmates might be a little threatened by her natural talent for reality TV.
