‘Vanderpump’ Alum Faith Stowers Launching Podcast To Discuss Racism, More

“Vanderpump Rules” alum Faith Stowers is ready to speak her truth about reality television.

The actor is launching a podcast with her creative partner Marcus Millions called “The Frequency,” which is set to debut on Sunday. The duo first connected when Millions, a stylist and creative director, started collaborating with Stowers on her image and red-carpet persona after she left “Vanderpump Rules,” and the two became friends.

“We’re going to give you insight through our lens of living in L.A., from me being an entrepreneur on one side of the lens, to Faith being in reality TV and the industry on the other side,” Millions said. The duo also plans to have special guests stop by episodes to speak on a variety of topics.

It will also give Stowers a platform to get honest about her time on “Vanderpump,” as well as the circumstances that led to the departure of several cast members in 2020. Stowers had revealed that Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute had called the police to report her for a crime she didn’t have anything to do with, and that, combined with the revealed past racist tweets of newer cast members Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni, led to the network to fire all four. Months later, series star Jax Taylor was also fired after fans pointed out that he had also accused Stowers of crimes via Twitter.

“I’m going to be saying everything I didn’t say to be politically correct,” Stowers said. “I wanted to be a voice for my Black community. I wanted to make sure that people who were going through what I was going through had a blueprint so they didn’t make the same mistakes I made or feel powerful enough to speak out immediately instead of having to be scared like I was.”

Stowers’ name and story have been revived on Bravo recently as the network launched a “Vanderpump Rules” spinoff series on March 19 called “The Valley,” which stars Taylor and Doute. On Tuesday’s episode of the show, fellow cast members grilled Doute about being fired from “Vanderpump Rules” because of racism, and a montage of headlines including Stowers’ name flashed across the screen.

“I know that I was going to be called the angry Black woman, but now I don’t care anymore,” Stowers said. “I feel like it’s time to speak out about it, and there’s no better way to speak on something like this than The Frequency podcast.”

Stowers is also announcing her role in “Cash Out 2: High Rollers,” a sequel directed by fellow “Vanderpump Rules” alum Randall Emmett. John Travolta stars in the heist film, and Stowers went toe-to-toe with the legend in her role.

“I’m going to be shooting at John Travolta, he’s shooting at me — it’s crazy,” she said.

Stowers also said that despite Emmett’s high-profile split with current “Vanderpump Rules” cast member Lala Kent, she appreciated working with him on set.

“I think he’s awesome,” she said. “His direction is very direct — if he tells you he wants you to do another take, you better go up there and do it right. I think a lot of actors don’t get to hear that from directors very much, so that was nice to get encouraging feedback. I think Randall was a good guy with me — I’ve never seen him do anything crazy or weird. He’s always talking about his kids. He loves his kids.”

“The Frequency” podcast will be available on Sunday at 1 pm EST on YouTube, Patreon, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other major platforms. “Cash Out 2: High Rollers” does not yet have a release date.
