Nearly three years after Stassi Schroeder was fired from Vanderpump Rules for racially insensitive remarks, her former co-star Faith Stowers is looking to sue Schroeder.
Over the weekend, Stowers created a GoFundMe to help with legal fees for “justice against Stassi.” She claims that Schroeder — who has since penned the NYT bestseller Off With My Head: The Definitive Basic B*tch Handbook to Surviving Rock Bottom about her 2020 cancellation — has continued to make false statements about her.
“Stassi Schroeder has written a NY times bestseller book recently and has made more terrible non factual claims about me once again,” Stowers wrote on her GoFundMe page. “After all she has done she continues to stand by her ignorant claims that are very harmful to me and my family.”
Elsewhere on the fundraiser page, Stowers described being “publicly targeted and mercilessly verbally attacked” by Schroeder and co-star Kristen Doute, and alleged that they “used their privilege and celebrity to try and tear me down at very sad time in my life and the country.” Both Bravo stars have apologized since their firings three years ago.
The tension between the women reached a boiling point during the Black Lives Matter demonstrations in 2020, when it came out that Schroeder and Doute had called the police and tried to frame Stowers for a crime she didn’t commit.
The drama originally began when Stowers slept with Jax Taylor while he was dating his now-wife Brittany Cartwright.
This isn’t the first time Stowers has voiced her opinion on Schroeder’s book — which came out in April 2022. Last year, she took to social media to shade the Straight Up with Stassi podcaster by calling out her white privilege.
“I think it’s a sad, sad time for our community when someone can use white privilege to try and destroy you and then use that same privilege to make money off of you,” she wrote on her Instagram Story in May 2022.
The ex-reality star hopes to get Schroeder’s book removed from stores and have all royalties and funds from its sales given to a charity or family of her choice. As of Wednesday morning, Stowers’ GoFundMe has raised $1,201 of its $20,000 goal.
