Former 'Vanderpump Rules' cast member Faith Stowers left everybody shocked when she recounted her experience of being the only black cast member on the hit show. She revealed how her fellow cast members were awful to her. Faith went on to talk about an incident involving OG cast members Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute which eventually pushed her to quit the show. The incident in question is Stassi and Kristen calling cops on Faith for an incident that had nothing to do with her. 

After Faith revealed the details of the disturbing event, Stassi and Kristen began receiving a lot of backlash from public and were labelled as racists for their inappropriate behavior. Following the backlash and criticism, the showrunners of 'Vanderpump Rules' and the production house- Evolution Media, decided to ax Stassi and Kristen from the show. Alongside Stassi and Kristen, the showrunners even announced that new cast members Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni wouldn't be returning for next season. Max and Brett too were called out for their racist tweets in the past. 

Despite the firing of Stassi, Kristen, Max and Brett, fans weren't happy with the showrunners' decision. Fans wondered why Jax Taylor was still on the show. Jax has time and again made some very offensive statements on the show. His comments about Ariana Madix's sexuality and his sexist and homophobic behavior have been well documented both on the show and off the show. So fans began wondering why Jax was still a cast member. 

Several fans demanded that 'Vanderpump Rules' must be canceled instead of firing all the cast members. A fan tweeted, "What’s the point of firing Stassi and Kristen if J*x and Britt*ny are still on the show who are probably just as, if not more racist behind closed doors? Just cancel the whole show! #PumpRules." Another fan wrote, "Child, Bravo better just cancel VPR tbh. We knew Jax, Kristen and Stassi were trash from season 1."

"@Bravo confirmed that Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni will not be returning to #VanderpumpRacists . But seem to be keeping Jax & his racist wife?! Not to mention all the racists on the Housewives shows. Fire all of them! Not good enough! Cancel #VPR," expressed a fan. Another fan pointed out, "Bravo fires Stassi and Kristen?  How many people of color have you had in your cast over the last few years.. but you care now? You fire them yet keep JAX? Who has shown many times he’s homophobic. Cancel the show- this last season was shit anyway #vanderpumprules bye, girl."
