Faith Stowers Feared Lala Kent Would ‘Disfigure’ Her in Knife Incident: Lawsuit

Stowers claimed as the “only black cast member” on Vanderpump Rules, she was “driven out by a vicious campaign of racist harassment and retaliation,” citing alleged racism from former costars Kristen Doute, Stassi Schroeder, and Brittany Cartwright.

Stowers is suing for several things, including alleged discrimination, hostile work environment, wrongful termination, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and more. She’s demanding unspecified damages.

Stowers’ powerhouse lawyers, Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman tell RadarOnline.com, “NBC and Evolution clearly believe that workplace safety rules, employment laws, and basic decency do not apply to those in reality TV. Vicious assaults, racist harassment, and impugning the service of veterans are apparently acceptable to NBC and Evolution for the sake of ratings. Faith did not know what kind of cesspool she had found herself in and reported this unlawful behavior to her superiors. In response, she was demoted to ‘volunteer’ and stripped of her already meager compensation.”
