Stassi Schroeder says she thought Taylor Frankie Paul's season of "The Bachelorette" would eventually come out ... but now she's not sure ... because she says TFP can't get out of her own way.

The former "Vanderpump Rules" star -- who is now starring in her own reality TV show, "House of Stassi" -- appeared on Kaitlyn Bristowe's "Off the Vine" podcast where the pair discussed the controversial "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star.

Kaitlyn asked Stassi if she thinks Taylor's 'Bachelorette' season -- which has been on ice since we released video of a shocking 2023 confrontation between herself and her ex, Dakota Mortensen -- will hit the airwaves.

Stassi said a couple weeks ago she was 100% sure it would air ... but now, given the legal complications Taylor's facing, she's not so sure.

Nene Leakes and the other stars of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" have NOT been offered contracts for Season 18 ... despite a report claiming Bravo is trying to bring Nene back ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us the two former '90210' stars -- who've been tied at the hip since their days on the show back in the '90s -- have seriously grown apart in recent months ... and some even feel like their bond is completely broken at this point.

A source close to the two tells TMZ ... "Jennie is not a friend to Tori. Tori introduced her to every connection she has and then she bailed on Tori and told her she was bad for her brand because of all the negative press about her."

"Alaskan Bush People" star Gabriel Brown and his wife, Raquell, have separated after seven years of marriage ... TMZ has learned.

Taylor Frankie Paul is telling her exes "hell no" when it comes to their latest child custody proposals because she would get to see her kiddos less than 50 percent of the time, according to a new report. 

Citing a source, Page Six says "The Secret Lives of Mormon Lives" star recently received two separate custody agreements from her children's fathers, Dakota Mortensen and Tate Paul, with the men asking for 60 percent of custody to Taylor's 40 percent.

Well, that didn't sit well with Taylor, the source said, and she quickly rejected the proposals, reportedly saying she will do what's in the best interest of her kids.
