A Bala Cynwyd native is bringing Philly pride to a ‘Vanderpump Rules’ star’s new spin-off

Would you go months without talking to your bestie if they didn’t congratulate you on an Eagles win?

Well, die-hard fan Rob Evors did. And the fallout was captured by camera crews.

The Bala Cynwyd native stars in House of Stassi, a new Freeform and Hulu unscripted show that follows former Bravolebrity and Vanderpump Rules “It girl” Stassi Schroeder as she attempts to come back from cancellation and cement herself as the next Kris Jenner. There’s relationship and friendship drama, explosive fights and humble reconciliations, and elaborate parties — all the trappings of binge-worthy reality TV.

But a through line of the inaugural eight episodes is an ongoing rift between Evors and Schroeder’s husband, Beau Clark, sparked by a perceived slight against the Philadelphia Eagles.

An exasperated Clark explained in episode two: “I haven’t talked to [Evors] in nine months because during football season, I didn’t congratulate him on his team’s wins on a couple group chats.”

Schroeder declared, “This is not about f-ing football, and I won’t let either of them convince the world that it is.”

What was left out, however, is that Clark, a Rams fan, actually failed to congratulate Evors — who “bleeds green” and has Boathouse Row and the Eagles logo tattooed on his arm — on the 2025 Super Bowl win.

“It wasn’t like it was Week Six and I was like ‘you’re not texting me about my football team’ — it was winning the Super Bowl,” Evors said in a phone interview.

“I might as well have given birth to a child and you didn’t reach out.”

So, yeah, the snub went deeper than pigskin: Evors and Clark’s decades-long friendship has ebbed and flowed, and Evors ultimately just wanted Clark to take an interest in his life, he said. (Spoiler: The men hashed out their evolving dynamics on camera, and Evors said the duo are cordial — even after a tumultuous season finale.)

Evors, 50, moved to Bala Cynwyd as a toddler and grew up a “stone’s throw” from City Avenue, he said. He graduated from Episcopal Academy and left the Philadelphia region for Syracuse University, eventually landing in Los Angeles to pursue acting full-time. He now lives in Austin, Texas.

His career, however, started on the Main Line doing community theater and training at the Actors Center in Old City. Evors remembers stopping at Roy Rogers on weekly drives to New York City and eventually taking the Peter Pan Bus alone to the Big Apple for auditions; he landed a Dorney Park commercial that “paid for college.”

Reality TV is a new world for Evors, who has since racked up acting credits in scripted shows like Criminal Minds, All American, and FBI: International and the 2012 movie Project X, according to IMDb. He also won a game on Wheel of Fortune.

House of Stassi has been among Hulu’s top-charting series since its debut. And it has been a long time coming for the show’s namesake, who was fired from Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules in 2020 for racist actions against her costar. Across eight seasons on Vanderpump — which initially chronicled the 20-something staff at the West Hollywood restaurant SUR — Schroeder became infamous for her candor, wit, “dark passenger” alter ego, and at times villainous persona. (Bucks County’s own Alex Cooper also made a cameo appearance on House of Stassi.)

“This is real life,” Evors said of the show. “The things that pop up on that show are still real-life issues in our lives every day.

“I call it ‘chaotic therapy.’”
