Former Vanderpump Rules star Faith Stowers had started a GoFundMe to raise money to sue her co-star Stassi Schroeder for falsely accusing her of committing a crime.
Stassi was a lead cast member on the popular reality show but was fired by Bravo in 2018 after it was found that she and her co-star Kristen Doute had shared a racist tweet about Faith.
At the time, Faith explained said in an Instagram live that the two reality stars had turned her in to the police for a theft crime that was published by the Daily Mail. The article’s accompanying photo showed an African American woman that wasn’t Faith.
“There was this article on Daily Mail where there was an African American lady,” Faith said in the IG Live at the time.
“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. This is like, a true story. I heard this from actually Stassi during an interview.”
Since being fired from VPR, Stassi has written two books, with her most recent Off with My Head: The Definitive Basic B—- Handbook to Surviving Rock Bottom making it to the New York Times Bestsellers list.
Now, Faith has started a GoFundMe, which she’s linked on her own Instagram, to help her sue Stassi for allegedly defaming her.
What does Faith say in her GoFundMe?
In Faith’s GoFundMe, she explained what allegedly happened in her own words, and clarified that she’s aiming to get Stassi’s book removed.
“During my time there [on Vanderpump Rules] I was publicly targeted and mercilessly verbally attacked by Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute on multiple public platforms,” she begins.
“These two women used their privilege and celebrity to try and tear me down at very sad time in my life and the Country. During that time I was also racially targeted and wrongfully accused of horrendous crimes that I have since been vindicated from.
“Since Kristen’s accepted apology, Stassi Schroeder has written a NY times best seller book recently and has made more terrible non factual claims about me once again,” the statement reads.
“I’m seeking assistance with my legal team to get this book removed and all royalties/funds collected from this book be given to charity or assisting a family of choice.”
At the time of writing, Faith had raised USD $500 of a $20,000 goal.
How long were Faith and Stassi on Vanderpump Rules?
Stassi had a leading role on Vanderpump Rules for eight seasons, from 2013-2020. Faith had a brief role in season four of the show, and returned as a guest in season six.
Did any beef play out between Faith and Stassi on VPR?
Not really. The two women seemed to get along well enough when Faith appeared in season four.
However, Faith returned to the show briefly after she and Jax Taylor slept together. Jax was in a long-term relationship with his now-wife Brittany Cartwright at the time, and Stassi and Brittany are friends. Stassi and Kirsten reported Faith to the police around the same time as the affair was uncovered.
All ten seasons of VanderpumpRules are available to stream on Hayu.
