Hit reality TV show, Vanderpump Rules,has seen its fair share of controversies.

Since airing in 2013, the show's eight seasons have been rocked by various rumours and cheating scandals.

But behind the scenes, the show is a lot more problematic, with many cast members accused of bullying, discrimination and body-shaming.

This week, it was announced cast members Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute had been axed from the show after they called the police for a crime their former co-star Faith Stowers says she didn't commit.

Stowers, who appeared in seasons four and six of the show, accused the pair of making false allegations against her in 2018, during a recent Instagram Live video. According to Stowers, Schroeder and Doute came across a news report about an alleged theft.

"There was this article onDaily Mailwhere there was an African American lady,” Stowers said. Schroeder and Doute then reportedly "called the cops and said it was me."

Both Schroeder and Doute have since issued public apologies.

“It is important that I continue to take accountability for what I have said and done, while pushing myself to do better,” Schroeder wrote on Instagram.

“I have grown significantly from the person I was then, and I am still filled with remorse and regret for the hurt I caused.”

Meanwhile, Doute wrote, "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."

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time the show's cast members have been linked to serious controversies over the years.
