    “We are excited to take this time to focus on our growing family and share with you our new endeavors. @bravotv, @evolutionusa and our Vanderpump castmates will always remain close to our hearts. Thank you to all the fans who have shared our journey with us and supported us through everything. We love you. Stay tuned,” the pregnant reality TV star concluded.
    Fans supported the couple’s decision. “So so proud of you two and everything you’ve accomplished. You’ve both come so far both personally and professionals. On to the most exciting part of your next chapter! Let’s gooo!” one fan wrote in the comment section. Someone else added, “We love you and so happy for your future and family!!!!!”
    The couple’s exit arrived six months after Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute were fired from the show over racism against Faith Stowers. Faith previously also called for Jax’s firing, claiming that he “said very, very mean things to new cast members. He did not receive me and Lala Kent very well when we first started.”
    “He said very mean things to us as well, later on apologizing. But it seems like he continues to get away with everything he does and I’m not sure why, especially at his age. It’s not like he’s doing this as a young adult, as a kid and just making these little mistakes young people sometimes do,” she continued.

      Kristen Doute Insists She and Stassi Schroeder 'Weren't Fired' From 'Vanderpump Rules'

      by

      Instagram

      The reality TV star also claims that unlike rumors that have circulated online, she and Stassi never made a police report against former ‘Vanderpump Rules’ co-star Faith Stowers.
      Sep 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Apparently, Kristen Doute and Stassi Schroeder aren’t fired from “Vanderpump Rules” following controversy surrounding them over past racially insensitive remarks toward former co-star Faith Stowers. Kristen set the record straight in an Instagram comment to a fan on Thursday, September 17.
      Of reports that she and Stassi called police on Faith as they accused her of being a thief, Kristen said, “The police were not called.” She went on to say, “There was never a police report, the police never had her name so she was never in harm’s way.”
      “I understand me speaking up about this is going to create major backlash but I’m tired of the rumors. Neither [me or Stassi] are racist and have absolutely no hate,” she went on to say.
      Recalling the moment, Kristen shared that she and Stassi made the call while they were filming the reality show, though it “didn’t air.” She explained, “I called a tip hotline. At the time, I was told by multiple people that it was [Faith] and that she had a history. That I’ve admitted and have publicly and privately apologized. I should have stayed out of it … I’m very grateful for those who want us to listen, learn and grow.”
      She also claimed that neither she or Stassi was fired from the Bravo reality show. “We weren’t fired,” she insisted. “They chose not to renew our contracts. That was their decision to make.”
      This arrived after Stassi reflected on the controversy during her appearance in an episode of “The Tamron Hall Show” earlier in the day. She revealed that she has since educated herself by hiring a diversity coach. “I am so embarrassed that I even had those thoughts much less put it out there. I was that Karen, I was a Karen,” she shared.
      “It is absolutely my fault that I didn’t know better, but the issue is I did not know better,” she continued. Saying that she wanted to be a “better person” for her unborn daughter, Stassi added, “I want to be a part of the solution, I’ve been a part of the problem for years now. And I’ve recognized that. That’s why I say I don’t feel like I’m a victim of cancel culture. People want me to be mad at it and I’m not, I needed it.”

      'Vanderpump Rules' Alum Billie Lee Accuses Lisa of Trying to Silence Her After Her Firing

      by

      WENN/Avalon

      Billie, who was let go from the Bravo show after season 7 back in 2019, shares that as an activist, being silenced by Lisa Vanderpump after the firing ‘really hurt me.’
      Jun 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – More “Vanderpump Rules” stars speak out about their experience on the show following the firing of Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute due to their past racist behavior against former co-star Faith Stowers. Now, Billie Lee is talking about the time when she was let go from the Bravo show.
      “I personally tried to go public, and I did a little bit with regards to the reunion on season 7 and how I felt like I was gaslit and silenced,” she told HollywoodLife.com about her 2019 firing. “And then when I publicly talked about how there were not enough Black people or LGBTQ people on [Bravo].”
      Later, she alluded that Lisa Vanderpump tried to silence her about it. “Lisa herself called me and told me that I needed to not talk negatively about the show, that it would hurt my career and she made my TV career, and she could take it away if I didn’t stop saying negative things about the show,” she claimed.
      Billie, who was a recurring cast member in the sixth and seventh seasons of the show, shared that as an activist, being silenced “really hurt me.” She added, “It was really disappointing to find out that someone I looked up to had their own privileges and didn’t understand where I was coming from.”
      “And then to see everything that came out with Faith,” Billie continued, referring to Faith who claimed that Stassi and Kristen tried to call police on her as they thought she was the culprit of a robbery case. “I’m part of all these marches and I’m very much a part of the Black Lives Matter movement and I was really proud of [Faith]. Like I said, I struggled very much leaving that show, not having money and I can’t imagine someone of color doing the same thing.”

      NeNe Leakes Responds to 'Vanderpump Rules' Firing Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute

      by

      Instagram

      This arrives after Lisa Vanderpump takes to her Instagram account to issue a statement of her own, in which she condemns racism and unequal treatment among others.
      Jun 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – NeNe Leakes joins the list of Bravo personalities who weigh in on the firing of “Vanderpump Rules” stars Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute. In an Instagram post on Tuesday, June 9, NeNe commented on the decision that the network made about Stassi and Kristen over their past racist behaviors.
      “Well alrighty then!” NeNe wrote underneath Bravo’s post of a picture featuring its statement about it letting go Stassi, Kristen, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni. “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star went on to say, “Now we have a few more questions to ask about in other areas where there’s a major difference. Should we talk privately or publicly.”
      In the comment section of the post, people dropped some names that Bravo should look into. “See also: Kelly Dodd, Brandi Redmond, Jax Taylor, Luann de Lesseps, Kathryn Dennis,” one person wrote. Echoing the sentiment, one other fan commented, “Remove Kelly & Jax too.”
      Meanwhile, some others thought that firing Stassi and Kristen was a little bit too much. “This is a bit much. What they did was wrong yes. But it was all from years ago. The hate and cancel culture in this world lately is amazing! I think there’s more to the story with faith and to be honest her coming out with this now and not 2 years ago when it happens makes her look like she’s trying to get her next 15 min of fame,” one user said.
      Calling it a “trash decision,” someone else blasted the network, “Jumping on a #blmbandwagon This took place long ago and until now it was ‘ok’ until it was cool to be ok. Not to mention they didn’t do this to [Faith Stowers] out of racism. They did it because of actions she took on the show. Not because she was black. Horrible decision as far as Stassi and Kristen. The boys said things also long ago. So actions take years ago can come back and haunt you only when there’s a movement?? And only then?! This is utter BS to ruin people’s lives over this.”
      Prior to this, Lisa Vanderpump issued a statement condemning racism and unequal treatment among others. Making use of Instagram on Wednesday, June 10, the 59-year-old first explained that it was necessary for her to stay quiet until decisions had been made on the issues. Claiming that she now “can freely speak from the heart,” she then stated,” I love and adore our employees and I am deeply saddened by some of the lack of judgment that has been displayed.”
      She further insisted that she has “always been an equal rights activist and ally,” before declaring, “I condemn all forms of cruelty, racism, homophobia, bigotry and unequal treatment. We’ve never tolerated it in the workplace or our lives.” She added that viewers “only see a fraction of our employees on the show.”
      The firing of the four “Vanderpump Rules” stars came after former castmate Faith Stowers spoke out against Schoeder and Doute. In a chat with “Floribama Shore” star Candace Rice, Faith claimed that the pair reported her to the police for a crime she did not do just because she was a black woman. Both Stassi and Kristen have since issued an apology for their action.

      Instagram

      Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute, along with two other cast members, have been let go by Bravo days after former castmate Faith Stowers accused them of racial profiling her.
      Jun 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lisa Vanderpump has finally addressed the racism drama surrounding the cast members of “Vanderpump Rules”. One day after Bravo announced the firing of Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni, the restaurateur issued a statement condemning racism and unequal treatment among others.
      Making use of Instagram on Wednesday, June 10, the 59-year-old first explained that it was necessary for her to stay quiet until decisions had been made on the issues. Claiming that she now “can freely speak from the heart,” she then stated,” I love and adore our employees and I am deeply saddened by some of the lack of judgment that has been displayed.”
      The former star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” further insisted that she has “always been an equal rights activist and ally,” before declaring, “I condemn all forms of cruelty, racism, homophobia, bigotry and unequal treatment. We’ve never tolerated it in the workplace or our lives.” She added that viewers “only see a fraction of our employees on the show.”
      “I am proud of the inclusive company that we’ve created,” the wife of Ken Todd went on to share. “We will continue to embrace diversity as one of our greatest strengths, and I’m excited to give you deeper look into the multi-faceted fabric of our company in the future.”
      Expressing hope that this generation will “treat each other with respect and humanity, and realize that actions have; and should have, consequences,” the mother of two continued, “Everybody deserves to feel safe, heard and appreciated in their communities.” She concluded by stating, “We all have work to do to create a society we can be proud of and I hope as we venture forward, we strive to live in a world where kindness and compassion are our highest values.”

      Also sharing his two cents on the drama was “Real Housewives” executive producer Andy Cohen. During the Wednesday episode of SiriusXM’s Radio Andy, the Bravo host made it clear that he wholly agreed with the firings. “I absolutely support Bravo’s decision, I think it was the right decision,” he stated.
      Though so, the “Watch What Happens Live” host reminded people, who sent him messages about “Pump Rules”, “Southern Charm” and other shows, that he is “not in charge of programming at Bravo anymore.” He added, “I don’t produce the show, so what I want people to know is that I have no say in hiring and firing.”

      Faith Stowers on Firing of Former 'Vanderpump Rules' Co-Stars: God Gave Me Sign of Optimism

      by

      Instagram

      Bravo confirms that Stassi Schoeder and Kristen Doute, who were accused of racially profiling, will not be making a return for season nine, along with new cast members Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni.
      Jun 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Faith Stowers is delighted with the outcome of her speaking out against Stassi Schoeder and Kristen Doute for their racism acts. Shortly after it was confirmed that her two former co-stars have been fired from “Vanderpump Rules” after eight seasons, the reality TV star shared her thought on the matter.
      Revealing that she was in the middle of praying when she heard the firing news, the 31-year-old told PageSix, “I felt a sense of – I know it sounds corny – I felt a sense of glory. I felt God’s presence and I’m seeing now [that the news has been revealed] maybe that is what that was.” She added, “He gave me a sign of optimism meant to be hopeful and showing that all of this was worth it.”
      The “Ex on the Beach” alum additionally expressed satisfaction over the reaction to her candid confession. “I feel so vindicated studios and production are able to see blatant racism and make these positive changes and help move the race forward – help with the fight forward,” she explained in her statement.
      “I was ready to put myself in the line of fire because I don’t know what will happen if I don’t say anything, but I’m glad I did,” Stowers continued. “Now I’m seeing Bravo follow suit – the same as MTV and ‘The Challenge’ – [by] letting go of castmates that have also made racist remarks. Bravo is releasing women that have given them crazy ratings because they want to be on the right side of history.”
      Noting that she is “seeing [that] people are finally hearing us,” the TV personality further voiced hope that the changes will not happen just this once. She expected that production companies and networks are “ready to hire casting directors and producers of color to make sure these changes are not just a one-time thing.”
      The letting go of Schoeder and Doute was made public on Tuesday, June 9. Through a statement to the press, Bravo announced, “Bravo and Evolution Media confirmed today that Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules.” Both Boyens and Caprioni also took the fall due to their past racist tweets which resurfaced in January.
      Schoeder and Doute were accused by Stowers of racial profilling her one week earlier. During an Instagram Live chat with “Floribama Shore” star Candace Rice, Stowers revealed that the two made a police report against her over a crime she did not do. “It was just funny, because they thought it was me because it was a black woman with a weave,” she spilled. “So, they just assumed it would be me, and they called the cops on me.”
      Stowers’ revelation prompted both Schroeder and Doute to issue an apology. Schroeder said in her statement, “I have grown significantly from the person I was then, and I am still filled with remorse and regret for the hurt I caused,” as Doute clarified in a separate statement, “I’m ashamed, embarrassed, and incredibly sorry. I will do better. I have to do better.”

      'Vanderpump Rules' Only Black Cast Faith Stowers Recalls Former Co-Stars Calling Cops on Her

      by

      Instagram

      During an Instagram Live chat, the former SUR employee opens up about her experience appearing on the fourth and sixth season of the Bravo’s all-white cast series.
      Jun 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Faith Stowers is sharing her side of the story behind her exit from “Vanderpump Rules” and her move to MTV. Being the only black cast member on the Bravo series, the 31-year-old reality star finally opened up about the incidents leading to former castmates Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute calling a cop on her.
      During an Instagram Live chat with “Floribama Shore” star Candace Rice, the former SUR employee first addressed her hook-up with Jax Taylor, who was at-the-time dating his now-wife Brittany Cartwright. “I felt like after their friend did something that we both were involved in that he’s done like, a thousand times…they wanted to attack me instead of him,” she recalled.
      “It was like they wanted to attack, attack, attack, attack, attack. ‘I was wrong and I was this and I was that,’ calling me names, saying my hair was nappy, which is weird coming out of their mouths,” she said of her former co-stars. “And I believe it hit the ceiling for me, and made me really want to run for the hills, when Kristen and Stassi decided they were going to call the cops on me.”
      The “Ex on the Beach” star went on to note that it had become too much for her to handle. “This is when I quit – like, I left the show,” she explained. “I was invited back to tell my truth, but decided it wasn’t going to do anything for me. So, I ended up not coming back, so I decided to go over to MTV. Once I did that, I felt like they got upset with me.”
      Stowers’ touble, however, did not stop there. She went on to spill that her former castmates later reported her to the police after spotting a news article about a black woman wanted for theft. “There was this article on Daily Mail where there was an African American lady. It was a weird photo, so she looked very light-skinned and had these different, weird tattoos,” she shared.
      “They showcased her, and I guess this woman was robbing people. … The woman was at large. … and they called the cops and said it was me. This is like, a true story,” the TV personality further claimed, adding that she “heard this from actually Stassi during an interview” as referring to Schroeder’s 2018 appearance on the Bitch Bible podcast.
      Per RealityTea, Schroeder claimed she and Doute compared the photo published by Daily Mail with “video footage stills” of Stowers before reporting her to the police. During the interview, she further claimed that when they tried to push the investigation further, the police ignored them.
      On the Schroeder and Doute’s allegations, Stowers commented during the Live chat, “It was just funny, because they thought it was me because it was a black woman with a weave. So, they just assumed it would be me, and they called the cops on me…It didn’t work, so they were upset about that.”
      Elsewhere in the interview, Stowers also shared her thought on her never getting a chance to do any “confessional” interviews. “I didn’t have anything like that,” she admitted. “It could be different on their end, but in my opinion, I thought it was weird that everybody on the show got to do interviews and confessionals and I didn’t even get a chance to do that, to tell my story.”
      “Which was a very interesting story, being a black woman in the military at the time. At the time, I was still in the army…leaving military drill…to come film with y’all…,” she added. “I didn’t feel like they appreciated that.”

      Stowers first appeared as a recurring character in season 4 of “Vanderpump Rules”. She briefly returned to the show as a guest on season 6. Following her candid confession on the Instagram Live, she told E! News that she has received much support.
      “It’s crazy…It’s been overwhelming and it makes me feel like I was actually heard this time,” she admitted, before clarifying, “I just want to say this is not an attack on ‘Vanderpump Rules’. It wasn’t done on the show.”
