AXED: Bravo Stars Fired Over Racist Acts

FIRING WORDS.

Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute, original cast members on Bravo Vanderpump Rules have been axed from the TV show a week after former black cast member Faith Stowers, revealed that the two women had reported her to the police for a crime she had nothing to do with.

“There was this article on Daily Mail where there was an African-American lady,” Stowers said. “It was a weird photo, so she looked very light-skinned and had these different, weird tattoos. They showcased her, and I guess this woman was robbing people. And they called the cops and said it was me (because we looked alike and both had weaves). This is like, a true story. I heard this from actually Stassi during an interview.”

Schroeder was also dropped from multiple brand sponsorships such as shaving brand Billie and vitamin startup Ritual. In addition, the “Next Level Basic” author was dropped from her PR company, UTA, as well, according to Page Six.

 

The network released a statement reading, “Bravo and Evolution Media confirmed today that Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules.” Boyens and Caprioni were let go after past racist tweets resurfaced.

In case you are wondering of how a network can let a reality star go over personal comments and actions outside the show. Well it can probably be found in the morality clause that are found in most if not all talent agreements that give networks the authority to terminate talent contracts based on illegal, immoral or unacceptable societal behavior. Here these racially discriminatory comments by these Bravo cast-mates was more than enough grounds to terminate their talent contracts.

Good riddance! Your thoughts on the firings?
