Tom Sandoval finally broke his silence and is speaking out about the Vanderpump Rules firings of his co-stars Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens, and Brett Caprioni. “It’s crazy,” Sandoval told St. Louis’ News 4, according to Us Weekly. “It definitely changes things and honestly, we’re just going to have to wait and see what happens.”
Schroeder and Doute came under fire earlier this month after former SURver Faith Stowers revealed they falsely accused her of committing a crime in 2018.
“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,” Stowers recalled via Instagram Live. “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.”
Both Schroeder and Doute released public apologies to Stowers on Sunday, June 7.
“What I did to Faith was wrong. I apologize and I do not expect forgiveness,” the Next Level Basic author, who also lost several brand deals and was dropped by her PR company, wrote via Instagram. “I am also sorry to anyone else that feels disappointed in me. I am going to continue to look closer at myself and my actions – to take the time to listen, to learn, and to take accountability for my own privilege.”
Meanwhile, Doute wrote that her “actions were not racially driven,” but she “now completely aware of how my privilege blinded me from the reality of law enforcement’s treatment of the black community, and how dangerous my actions could have been to her.”
Schroeder and Doute were both fired from Vanderpump Rules on Tuesday, June 9, after eight seasons alongside with Season 8 newbies Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni after their past racially and homophobic tweets resurfaced on Twitter.
“Bravo and Evolution Media confirmed that Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules,” the network said in a statement.
