FORMER Vanderpump Rules star Faith Stowers has criticized her ex-boss Lisa Vanderpump, claiming the reality star would rather “march for dogs than Black lives.”
Faith – whose recent accusations of racism from then-colleagues Stassi Schroder and Kristen Doute has seen them be fired from the Bravo show – claimed that although Lisa does a lot of work for LGBTQ communities and animal rights, she would never march for Faith’s rights as a Black woman.
She said: “Lisa does a lot for the LGBTQ community and support, and she does a lot for dogs all across the world to try to help them with what they’re putting dogs through all over the world.
“Unfortunately, George Floyd is not a dog, and that’s how I feel, because had George Floyd been a dog, Lisa would have marched like she did for Vanderpump Dogs.
Speaking on the Red Flags Make Cute Scarves podcast, Lisa continued: “[Lisa and husband Ken] cry on camera and talk on microphones to congregations of people about how wrong it is to eat and kill these innocent dogs.
“All we want to do is to have the same rights. We want to live.”
Earlier on Tuesday, Bravo confirmed in a statement that Stassi and Kristen will not return to Vanderpump Rules after they were accused of racist behavior by Faith.
Former SUR employee Faith had called out Stassi and her costar, Kristen, 37, during an Instagram Live, telling Floribama Shore star Candace Rice they “attacked” her.
Faith explained that Stassi and Kristen called the authorities on her after seeing a report about an African American woman who was allegedly drugging and robbing men in LA.
The Bravo star said: “There was this article where there was an African-American lady. It was a weird photo, so she looked very light-skinned and had these different, weird tattoos. I guess this woman was robbing people.
“And they called the cops and said it was me. This is like, a true story. I heard this from, actually, Stassi during an interview.”
Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni, both of whom are new to the show, will also not return after racist tweets were uncovered.
Bravo issued a statement which read: “Bravo and Evolution Media confirmed today that Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules.”
Stassi was dropped by multiple sponsors, as well as her agent and publicist, after the allegations came to light, and on Sunday the 31-year-old posted a lengthy note of “remorse” to her 2.1 million Instagram followers on Sunday.
Kristen has also apologized publicly, and claimed that “although, my actions were not racially driven, I am now completely aware of how my privilege blinded me from the reality of law enforcement’s treatment of the black community, and how dangerous my actions would have been to her.”
Brett apologized for his tweets in January, while Max apologized for a second time on last week’s reunion show.
He said: “We live in a generation now where saying some things, even if you are of that culture, is just frowned upon. I just want to say I’m just really, sincerely sorry. I’m not even — there’s no excuse.”
