Who was fired from Vanderpump Rules?
THROUGHOUT the history of Vanderpump Rules, several cast members have come and gone.
From Jax Taylor to Raquel Leviss, many have departed the Bravo reality series.
Why were Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright fired from Vanderpump Rules?
In December 2020, Jax Taylor and his wife Brittany Cartwright were fired from Vanderpump Rules for accusing fellow cast member Faith Stowers of a crime she did not commit.
In a resurfaced Twitter post from December 4, 2017, Jax said: "[Stowers is] 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."
Stowers did not have a connection to the crime and fans voiced their outrage.
Several VPR viewers were divided about the drama and demanded Jax and Brittany be fired from the show.
On December 4, 2020, Brittany revealed she and Jax were not returning to the program.
She announced via Instagram: “The last 5 years on Vanderpump Rules have been some of the most challenging, rewarding, and fulfilling years of my life.
"Although this is difficult to share, Jax and I will not be returning for another season of Vanderpump Rules.
"We are excited to take this time to focus on our growing family and share with you our new endeavors.”

Why were Kristen Doute and Stassi Schroeder fired?
Similar to co-stars Jax and Brittany, Kristen Doute and Stassi Schroeder were both fired in June 2020 for making false claims about Faith Stowers.
The claim came in response to a Daily Mail article about a black woman who allegedly was drugging and robbing men in Hollywood nightclubs.
Kristen tweeted: "Hey tweeties, doesn't this ex #pumprules thief look familiar?
"Someone put her on MTV & gave her a platform for press. I didn't wanna go there but I'm going there."
The post was subsequently deleted and can no longer be found on Twitter.
On June 9, 2020, Bravo announced Kristen and Stassi were fired for their remarks toward Faith.
Regarding the controversy, Stassi shared: "Racially insensitive comments from my past have resurfaced.
"It is important that I continue to take accountability for what I have said and done, while pushing myself to do better.
"I have grown significantly from the person I was then, and I am still filled with remorse and regret for the hurt I caused.
"What I did to Faith was wrong. I apologize and I do not expect forgiveness.
"I am also sorry to anyone else that feels disappointed in me."
Kristen also expressed: "Although my actions were not racially driven, I am 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.
"It was never my intention to add to the injustice and imbalance.
"I'm ashamed, embarrassed, and incredibly sorry. I will do better. I have to do better."

"There was a possibility up until recently she'd be returning for the new season, but ultimately decided against it.
