'Vanderpump Rules' Stars Jax And Brittany Dragged Into Alleged Racism Against Faith Stowers Drama
UPDATE: 2:50 p.m. EDT -- Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute have been fired from "Vanderpump Rules." Variety reports that a statement issued by the network on Tuesday read, "Bravo and Evolution Media confirmed today that Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules."
Original story: They say the more the merrier but in this case, not so much.
Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright are now entangled in the web of drama surrounding Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, and Faith Stowers. As it turns out, like his costars, Jax did his fair share of tweeting and making criminal accusations against the former Bravo "Vanderpump Rules" cast member.
In a recently resurfaced tweet from December 2017, the 40-year-old reality star responded to a user claiming Faith had hopes of becoming a full-time cast member on the show and he didn't exactly sing her praises.
"She’s wanted by the police for grand theft auto and 'awol' from military," he wrote at the time. "Bad idea to be on a reality show dude. Someone’s going to jail."
Just a few months later is when Stassi and Kristen unleashed their wrath, which Faith described during an Instagram Live chat with MTV's "Floribama Shore" star Candice Rice on June 5.
"There was this article on Daily Mail where there was an African American lady. 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," she recalled. "And they called the cops and said it was me. This is like, a true story. I heard this from actually Stassi in an interview."
Stassi and Kristen have since issued apologies, however, one fan felt that Brittany needed to weigh-in on the situation given that all of the drama started due to the fact that Jax hooked up with Faith while still dating the Kentucky native.
According to E! News, underneath a post in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, which currently has comments disabled, the Instagram user asked, "Can you please address the racism regarding Faith Stowers, calling her hair 'nappy' as well as complicit support of the cops being called on her?"
"I had NOTHING to do with that." Brittany clarified. "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 [Jax cheated], and I did not say anything about nappy hair. I yelled at her and did that rightfully so like any other human being would if they had just found out what I did," she continued. "If she ever even tried one time to apologize to me I could have forgiven her like I did Jax but she never did or even showed remorse for how bad she hurt me."
The outlet notes that Brittany maintained that she had been "nothing but nice and kind to [Faith] up until that point."
"I had nothing to do with any cops. She knows that I have NEVER once spoken publicly about her," she stressed. "It's a shame I'm getting dragged into this whenever I have finally been able to move on with my life."
After adding that she will continue to support the Black Lives Matter movement the 31-year-old concluded, "I won't let this drag me down. Have a great day."
