Faith Stowers, the reality star who was at the center of the controversy involving Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute’s firing from Vanderpump Rules, has spoken out about the situation. Despite the racially insensitive actions of Schroeder and Doute towards Stowers, she believes they shouldn’t be shunned for what they did.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Stowers expressed her perspective on the issue. She mentioned that while Schroeder issued a public apology for her actions, she personally had not received a direct apology from her. On the other hand, Doute reached out to her after facing pressure from others.
Stowers emphasized the importance of learning from mistakes and using their influence for good. She hopes that Schroeder and Doute will understand the impact of their actions and make positive changes in the future.
Following the public outcry, Bravo announced the departure of Schroeder and Doute from Vanderpump Rules. This decision came after the two reality stars posted lengthy statements on Instagram in response to the incident involving Stowers.
Stowers had recounted an incident during an Instagram Live chat, where Schroeder and Doute falsely accused her of a crime after seeing a tabloid article about a black woman wanted for theft. This revelation sparked widespread criticism and ultimately led to the departure of Schroeder and Doute from the show.
Stowers expressed feeling ‘good about’ the outcome, emphasizing the need for accountability and growth in light of the situation.
