Stowers appeared on the Bravo hit reality series as a recurring character in season 4, and her brief reappearance on the show two years later due to her affair with Jax Taylor. If you recall, the revelation that Taylor cheated on now-wife Brittany Cartwright with Stowers was the main storyline for the now-married couple during the show's sixth season.
“I felt like after their friend did something that we both were involved in that he’s done like, a thousand times, they wanted to attack me instead of him. They wanted to attack, attack, attack, attack, attack,” Stowers told Rice. “I was wrong, I was this, I was that, calling me names, saying my hair was nappy, which is weird coming out of their mouths.”
She added that she was “so nice” to her costars, who she believes let Taylor off “easy.”
“I think it was just because they felt like Brittany was so sweet and it hurt her,” Stowers said. “But even then, it was like they both cheated on their partners with him as well, so I was just really like confused that they were attacking me and giving him nothing — in my opinion. He got off very, very, very, easy — especially with the things I’ve been told.”
“I didn’t have [any confessional interviews],” Stowers explained. “It could be different on their end, but in my opinion, I thought it was weird that everybody on the show got to do interviews and confessionals and I didn’t even get a chance to do that, to tell my story. Which was a very interesting story, being a black woman in the military at the time. At the time I was still in the army. … I didn’t feel like they appreciated that.”
Stowers also recalled her former castmates Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute making shocking accusations against her in 2018.
“[What] made me really want to run for the hills, when Kristen and Stassi decided they were going to call the cops on me,” Stowers told Rice, noting that she was “invited” back to the series to tell her side of the story, but declined after hearing Schroeder on The Bitch Bible podcast. “There was this article on 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. They showcased her, and I guess this woman was robbing people. And they called the cops and said it was me. This is like, a true story. I heard this from actually Stassi during an interview.”
She added: “It was just funny, because they thought it was me because it was a black woman with a weave. So they just assumed it would be me, and they called the cops on me.”
According to Reality Tea, Schroeder discussed how she and Doute had called the police to report Stowers in an April 2018 interview on The Bitch Bible podcast. The episode has since been taken down.
Around that same time, Doute tweeted a link to a report about the unidentified woman, who was accused of meeting men at a nightclub and then allegedly drugging and robbing them after going home with them.
Stowers reacted to the response to the Instagram Live, saying, “I have been receiving so much support. It's crazy...It's been overwhelming and it makes me feel like I was actually heard this time,” she told E! News.
“I just want to say this is not an attack on Vanderpump Rules,” Stowers clarified. “It wasn't done on the show.”
