Vanderpump Rules<\/em><\/a>, and in a twist worthy of Bravo\u2019s most bonkers reality show, she\u2019d be the first to tell you she was let go for good reason.<\/p>\nAlong with her longtime frenemy Kristen Doute, Stassi falsely accused part-time cast member Faith Stowers of committing a string of robberies.<\/p>\n
Faith was the only Black member of the cast, and Stassi and Kristen\u2019s decision to sic the LAPD on her appeared to be racially motivated.<\/p>\n
Stassi later went on an apology tour and seemed to accept the fact that she was fully to blame for the scandal \u2014 and would never get her old job back.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>Stassi Schroeder and Faith Stowers used to be castmates on Vanderpump Rules.

She says she\u2019ll use the money to hire a legal team and sue Stassi for defamation of character.<\/p>\nFaith Stowers posted this pic to her Instagram page in June of 2023.

During my time there I was publicly targeted and mercilessly verbally attacked by Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute on multiple public platforms,\u201d Stowers wrote on her fundraising page. <\/p>\n
\u201cThese two women used their privilege and celebrity to try and tear me down at very sad time in my life and the Country,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring that time I was also racially targeted and wrongfully accused of horrendous crimes that I have since been vindicated from.\u201d<\/p>\nFaith Stowers posted this photo to her Instagram page in March of 2023.

\u201cI believe Stassi hasn\u2019t learned from her mistakes and is still alleging in her book that I have committed a felony. This is harmful to my career and to my family,\u201d the former SUR waitress went on.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough is enough. I found an amazing legal team and we are seeking assistance from supporters that also stand against bullying and racial divide to once and for all end this matter.\u201d<\/p>\nIt\u2019s selfie time here for Stassi Schroeder, as fiance Beau photobombs her in the background.

\u201cThank you for your support always. And thank you all for standing up against bullies and racial division,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n
This is a far cry from Faith\u2019s initial reaction to the decision to fire Stassi and Kristen.<\/p>\nStassi Schroeder appears on an episode of Vanderpump Rules.

She\u2019s been more critical of Stassi in the months since the publication of her latest book.<\/p>\n
In May, Stowers posted the message below, which seemed to be directed at Schroeder:<\/p>\nFaith Stowers posted this message to Instagram.

Stassi has yet to publicly comment on Faith\u2019s allegations.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
