Stassi Schroeder Rebukes Nick Viall’s ‘Weird’ Mom-Shaming of Whitney Leavitt

On her podcast, the new reunion host defended Leavitt’s Broadway move after questions about her parenting.

Overview

  • On the December 10 episode of her show, Schroeder called the remarks “weird” and said the mom-shaming touched a personal insecurity about working while parenting.
  • Nick Viall and Natalie Joy had asked on their Viall Files podcast how Leavitt would juggle motherhood while preparing to play Roxie Hart in Chicago after a Dancing With the Stars season.
  • Schroeder criticized a gender double standard and praised Conner Leavitt as a supportive stay-at-home parent who champions his wife’s career.
  • Viall previously stepped down as Hulu’s Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion host citing a Netflix conflict, with Schroeder now in the role.
  • Viall and Joy have not issued a new response, as Conner shared supportive TikToks, and Leavitt is slated for a six-week Broadway run beginning in early February.
