《范德普规则》演员费斯·斯托斯起诉片场种族骚扰

In the latest of a string of lawsuits indicating serious trouble in Bravoland, former Vanderpump Rules cast member Faith Stowers is accusing NBCUniversal of racial harassment, according to a complaint filed on Friday.
根据周五提交的一份起诉书，在一系列表明《布拉沃兰》存在严重问题的诉讼中，前《范德普规则》演员费斯·斯托斯指控nbc环球公司种族骚扰。

Stowers, who appeared in seasons 4 and 5 of the reality series offshoot of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, claims in the suit that castmate Lala Kent held a knife to her neck and threatened to “cut a bitch” during the filming of Vanderpump Rules, which follows the staff of Housewives star Lisa Vanderpump’s Los Angeles restaurant, SUR.
斯托斯曾在《比佛利山庄的真正主妇》的第四季和第五季中出演，她在诉讼中称，在拍摄《范德普规则》时，剧组成员拉拉·肯特拿着刀指着她的脖子，威胁要“割了一个婊子”。《范德普规则》拍摄的是《主妇》女星丽莎·范德普在洛杉矶SUR餐厅的工作人员。

Vanderpump herself is named in the complaint from Stowers, who alleges that the reality TV star threatened to have her removed from her namesake show if Stowers couldn’t continue to work alongside her alleged assailant. The show’s executive producer also discouraged her from reporting the incident with Kent to local police, Stowers claims in the filing.
斯托尔斯在诉状中提到了范德普本人，她声称这位真人秀明星威胁说，如果斯托尔斯不能继续与她的攻击者一起工作，就把她从她的同名节目中除名。斯托斯在文件中称，节目的执行制片人也不鼓励她向当地警方报告与肯特的事件。

Stowers claims in the suit that she was paid $5,000 to appear in season 4 of Vanderpump Rules and demoted to “volunteer” for season 5.
斯托斯在诉讼中声称，她在《范德普规则》第四季中获得了5000美元的报酬，在第五季中被降级为“志愿者”。

The ensemble castmember also alleges that she was subjected to regular racial slurs and mocked on set for her “nappy hair.” Her former Vanderpump players Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute allegedly said she was “a serial criminal who had been drugging and robbing men throughout Los Angeles”; the two also accused her of going AWOL from the military, she claims in the suit. Schroeder and Doute were fired from the show after Stowers told an Instagram Live audience about these alleged incidents in the summer of 2020.
这位演员还声称，她经常受到种族歧视，并在片场因她的“尿布头发”而受到嘲笑。据称，她的前范德普球员斯塔西·施罗德和克里斯汀·杜特说她是“一个在洛杉矶各地给男人下药和抢劫的连环罪犯”;她在诉讼中称，两人还指控她擅离职守。在斯托尔斯于2020年夏天向Instagram直播观众讲述了这些所谓的事件后，施罗德和杜特被解雇了。

“[This was] an astonishingly cynical act of performative allyship,” Stowers says of NBCUniversal’s dismissal of her two castmates, which came swiftly as the nation was reckoning with its systemic racial injustices in the wake of the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.
“(这是)一种令人震惊的愤世嫉俗的表演同盟行为，”斯托尔斯谈到nbc环球解雇她的两名演员时表示。在乔治·弗洛伊德被明尼阿波利斯一名警察谋杀后，美国正在对系统性的种族不公正进行清算。

Notably, Stowers has retained legal representation by Bryan Freedman and Marc Geragos, the same attorneys that worked for former Housewives star Bethenny Frankel, The Real Housewives of New York star turned CEO who has called for a “reality reckoning” to end the exploitation of cast members’ lives and safety for network ratings and profit.
值得注意的是，Stowers聘请了Bryan Freedman和Marc Geragos作为法律代表，这两位律师曾为前《家庭主妇》明星Bethenny Frankel工作，《纽约真实的家庭主妇》明星后来成为首席执行官，她呼吁“现实清算”，以结束对演员生命和安全的剥削，以获得网络收视率和利润。
