Season 9 of Vanderpump Rules premiered on Bravo TV Tuesday night.
And although Stassi Schroeder was booted from the long-running reality show, she looked unbothered as she enjoyed an afternoon lunch with her small family earlier in the day.
Schroeder, 33, and her husband Beau Clark were seen at Home Restaurant in the Los Angeles neighborhood Los Feliz with their eight-month-old daughter Hartford.

The new mom was a vision of casual chic in a pair of denim shorts that showed of her long stems.
It was paired with a fitted, tan, cardigan sweater that she wore with a black shirt underneath.
The TV personality carried a black leather handbag and rounded out the look with a pair of quilted, black, leather flats.
Stassi's blonde hair was parted in the center with half pulled back into an imperfect bun.

In June Bravo took to Instagram to confirm the return of the popular reality show with a snap of restaurateur and the show's namesake, Lisa Vanderpump.
A massive cast shake-up at the end of season eight, which aired in June 2020, gave Stassi and costar Kristen Doute the ax.
The blonde beauty and Doute were famously fired after a racially-motivated incident resurfaced, which involved reporting Black co-star Faith Stowers to the police in 2018 for a crime she did not commit.
Season 9 premiered September 28.

In March, the New Orleans native told her podcast listeners that her pregnancy 'saved' her as she coped with the public scandal.
'I think [it] made me so much better to be pregnant while I was going through a hard time,' she admitted.
Elaborating, the former TV star noted, 'If I wasn't pregnant, I probably would have just like…gone to alcoholism, Xanax. I would have lashed out, dark passenger-ed. And I think our baby 100 percent saved me.'
