To quote Stassi Schroeder’s husband, Beau Clark, “Christmas was bloody Wicked this year!”
The “Vanderpump Rules” alum sustained a bloody lip over the holiday after the couple’s 3-year-old daughter, Hartford, accidentally hit her in the face with a toy broom during an impassioned rendition of the hit “Wicked” song “Defying Gravity.”
Clark, 44, was filming his wife, who was sitting on the floor beside their Christmas tree, as she and their eldest child belted out the lyrics to the inspiring track.
The toddler — who was wearing an adorable champagne-colored dress — enthusiastically waved her witch’s broom at the exact same time that Schroeder, 36, leaned in.
As soon as Schroeder — who stunned in an elegant black ensemble — and the toy made contact, both she and Hartford stopped dead in their tracks.
Though the former Bravolebrity immediately let out a laugh, sweet Hartford quickly asked, “Are you OK?”
Schroeder replied, “No,” before half-jokingly asking her worried kid whether she looked like “Count Dracula.”
Hartford gasped and pointed to her mother’s lip as blood began to drip.
“Oh, no. Oh, no,” Schroeder said after seeing the look on her daughter’s face. Within seconds, Hartford stood up and assured her mom that she’d go get her a napkin.
While Hartford was in the other room, Schroeder turned to face Clark, who was still recording.
“What do I look like?” she wondered, prompting the commercial casting director to gasp as well. “Oh, my God,” he let out, to which Schroeder demanded to know, “Is it really that bad?”
A stunned Clark repeated, “Oh, my God,” which made a confused Schroeder ask, “Are you messing with me? Are you messing with me right now?”
Blood continued to drip from the left side of her mouth as she flashed the camera a concerned smile.
“Mommy!” Hartford shouted as she returned with a hand towel and began gently dabbing her mother’s face.
“Did you not feel it ’cause of your fake chin?” Clark quipped, prompting Schroeder to admit that the whack did “hurt” — though not as badly as giving birth.
“I’m so sorry,” the tot said more than once, as the reality personality touched her arms and let her know, “It’s OK. It’s OK. It was an accident.”
The podcast co-hosts’ 1-year-old son, Messer, was present for the incident but seemed to be in his own little world.
As for Clark’s joke, Schroeder admitted in a comment beneath his Instagram video of the ordeal, “Yes, that side of my chin has always been numb ever since the chin implant lol.”
