It all started when Stanger said that gay men have problems with monogamy on Sunday night’s live episode of Andy Cohen’s talk show. She also asserted that Jewish men lie.

On Monday, the reality star limited her statements about gay men to those residing in Los Angeles, then tweeted an apology a couple hours later. She has yet to respond to the comments about Jewish men specifically.
