Bravo Fires Four ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Cast Members Over Racially Insensitive Incidents
Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens, and Brett Caprioni are officially out at Bravo. The network has announced that all four members of Vanderpump Rules have been fired over racially insensitive incidents.
“Bravo and Evolution Media confirmed today that Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules,” a rep told Page Six.
This comes after Stassi and Kristen, day-1 cast members of Vanderpump Rules, were recently called out by ex-cast member Faith Stowers. Faith, who is the only black cast member the show has had, recently revealed that in 2018, Stassi and Kristen called the police on her for a crime she didn’t commit.
Faith explains by saying, “There was this article in the 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. I guess this woman was robbing people. And they called the cops and said it was me. This is like, a true story.”
Page Six explains that Stassi went on to admit this happened in her podcast, and Kristen bragged about it on Twitter.

After the story came out, both Schroeder and Doute issued similar apologies on their social media pages.

New cast members Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni have been fired over old tweets that resurfaced back in January, where both men used racial slurs on social media. They both apologized for their past tweets months ago, and they also apologized again during the recent Vanderpump Rules reunion show.
So far, Lisa Vanderpump has not made a public statement about the firings.
