One week after former `Vanderpump Rules` cast member Faith Stowers revealed that two of the show's original cast members, Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute, had reported her to the police for a crime she'd had nothing to do with, a Bravo spokesperson confirmed that Schroeder and Doute won't return to the show. Additionally, new cast members Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni, whose past racist tweets were uncovered after the most recent season premiered in January, also will not return.

On Tuesday, Bravo issued a statement saying, `Bravo and Evolution Media confirmed today that Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules.`

It was reported that Taylor had also tweeted about Stowers having legal problems. In 2017, in response to a fan question about Stowers, Taylor responded, `Shes wanted by the police for grand theft auto and 'awol' from the military, bad idea to be on a reality show dude. Someone's going to jail.` (When asked whether Taylor would also be censured, the Bravo spokesperson said, `No comment on Jax.`)

When `Vanderpump Rules` will begin to film at all is unclear. The coronavirus pandemic has stopped production on television and movies since mid-March, and Bravo currently has no date to start shooting again.

The show recently wrapped its eighth season, which continued to perform well for Bravo despite criticism from fans and the media for its contrived storytelling, which has strayed far from its original mission of depicting the casts' real lives. The show was due for an overhaul, though this sudden purge for ugly reasons is most certainly not what Bravo and Evolution had in mind.
