Faith Stowers, a former Vanderpump Rules cast member, wants to sue fellow ex-cast member Stassi Schroeder due to comments Schroeder made in a tell-all book. Stowers started a GoFundMe for help with legal fees during the process. She’s asking for $20,000.

If you’re not familiar with the show — heck, even if you are — the full story is a little complicated and convoluted, but I’ll try my best to break things down as simply as possible. Stowers said that Schroeder and fellow co star Kristen Doute called police on her, claiming that she committed a robbery. This occurred also during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The pair were fired in 2020. In Schroeder’s book Off With My Head: The Definitive Basic Bitch Handbook to Surviving Rock Bottom, she said she had “zero right to accuse” Stowers but “sensationalized” the situation “for the sake” of a good story. She claimed race had nothing to do with it, which, what?! You claimed a Black woman on your show committed a robbery! That’s race, you dummy. No wonder this Einstein got cancelled.

As she should. Stassi has made multiple racist comments during the years. Stassi and Kristen racially profiled faith, that could have got faith killed if the cops investigated it. Stassi profited off of her racist actions against faith, and played the victim in her book.

Oh, this is rich too: “I basically thought I was the karma God just dishing it out exactly where I felt it should be.” Nothing screams privileged white woman more than “the universe” telling you to tell police your Black costar was a criminal.

Here’s what Stowers had to say about it in her GoFundMe request:

“Hi! My name is Faith Stowers. As you may know I was former cast member on a television series called Vanderpump Rules. During my time there I was publicly targeted and mercilessly verbally attacked by Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute on multiple public platforms. These two women used their privilege and celebrity to try and tear me down at very sad time in my life and the Country. During that time I was also racially targeted and wrongfully accused of horrendous crimes that I have since been vindicated from.”

Stowers went on to say that Schroeder wrote “a NY times best seller book [sic] recently and has made more terrible non factual claims about me once again,” she said. “I’m seeking assistance with my legal team to get this book removed and all royalties/funds collected from this book be given to charity or assisting a family of choice.”

One person commented on the page and said “I’m fully aware of what happened to you and the lack of accountability from Ms. Schroeder-Clark. I hope you get the justice you seek and deserve.”

We’ll keep you posted when Schroeder eventually responds to this and calls it “meritless” or something similar.
