Vanderpump Rules’ Faith Stowers insists Brittany Cartwright made racist comment after other stars fired from show – The Sun
VANDERPUMP Rules' Faith Stowers insisted that Brittany Cartwright made a racist comment towards her – despite the newlywed claiming she did not.
Four cast members – including Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute – were fired this week over racist behavior.
Faith is not done calling out her former cast members over the racist behavior she experienced during and after her time in the show.
The 31-year-old claimed that after Brittany found out about her affair with Jax Taylor, the Southern Belle called her hair "nappy."
And she stood by her story when she spoke to AfterBuzz TV.
Faith claimed that she was on a speakerphone call with Scheana Shay to try to apologize to Brittany because she "couldn’t talk to her through production."
So I’m like 'Brittany, hey girl! I’m trying to apologize to you. Can we please talk?
"But she… was still in that bad space so she’s like cussing and yelling, and calling me names and stuff.
"I’m still trying to stay calm and communicate with her because this is still important for me to hear what she has to say.
"So I’m trying to talk to her and I can still see that she’s upset. And while she’s yelling, that’s when I heard her say, ‘You a nappy-headed ho!'"
Faith continued: "She used that as an insult, which I just didn't understand why she used that as an insult to me.
"You can call me a ho, but don’t call me a nappy-headed ho."
Faith also claimed that her family, who was listening in on the conversation, was "very insulted" by the comment.
"I don’t know why she denied saying that. That’s her truth," she explained.
"But I know and my family knows … that she definitely did say that."
Faith's story comes just two days after a fan approached Brittany on Instagram and asked what she thought about Faith's claims that she had been part of the people who had been racist towards her.
In a now-deleted comment, which was obtained by Reddit, she wrote: "I had NOTHING to do with that.
"She knows I don't have a racist bone in my body. She hurt me really bad and never once apologized.
"I haven't spoken to her since the night I found out and I did not say anything about nappy hair.
"I yelled at her and I did that rightfully so like any other human being would do if they had just found out what I did."
Brittany continued in her lengthy response: "If she ever even tried one time to apologize to me I could have forgiven her like I did Jax but she never ever did or even showed remorse for how bad she hurt me.
"I was nothing but nice and kind to her up until that point and I had nothing to do with any cops.
"She knows that and I have NEVER once spoken publicly about her. It's a shame I'm getting dragged into this whenever I have finally been able to move on with my life.
"I will continue to support this [Black Lives Matter] movement and I won't let this drag me down. Have a great day."
Faith also went after her ex-lover and Brittany's husband, Jax, as she claimed that he should also be fired for his treatment of Billie Lee.
Faith told Entertainment Tonight of Jax: "He's 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."
Faith's accusations come just days after Bravo announced they had cut ties with some of the Vanderpump Rules cast members.
The statement read: "Bravo and Evolution Media confirmed today that Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules."
Bravo boss Andy Cohen also stood by Bravo's statement and said on SiriusXM's Radio Andy: "There's so much happening in the Bravo universe.
"I will say this: so much talk about Vanderpump Rules and then, of course, the reunion ended up airing last night.
"I will say this about what happened. I absolutely support Bravo's decision, I think it was the right decision.
"And I want to remind people because I've been getting so many tweets and messages and whatever about Vanderpump Rules and about Southern Charm and other shows. I am not, I don't – I feel like I remind people this all the time – I'm not in charge of programming at Bravo anymore.
"I am not an Executive Producer of Vanderpump Rules. I don't have anything to do with the show except I love it and that I host the reunions.
"I don't produce the show so what I want people to know is I have no say in hiring and firing."
These statements come after Stassi and Kristen were accused by Faith of reporting her to the police for a crime that she was not connected to.
An insider told Us Weekly: "Stassi was not expecting to be fired. She is surprised and upset.
The source added that she had "lost a lot of money from losing sponsorships and paid opportunities".
Earlier this year, racists tweets from Max and Brett also resurfaced.
SUR head Lisa Vanderpump has also weighed in on the firings posting on Instagram: "As we’ve seen such devastating sadness that has played out globally, we all have a part to play to create a kinder, more just society.
"My hope is for this generation to treat each other with respect and humanity, and realize that actions have; and should have, consequences.
"I love and adore our employees and I am deeply saddened by some of the lack of judgment that has been displayed.
"As many of you know, after watching me for 10 years, I have always been an equal rights activist and ally – my family, my businesses and I condemn all forms of cruelty, racism, homophobia, bigotry, and unequal treatment.
"We’ve never tolerated it in the workplace or our lives."
