Along with this ongoing global pandemic, it was back in the early summer of last year that things as we knew it when it comes to the casts of some of reality TV's most vaunted franchises were upended by the Black Lives Matter movement when the police-initiated murder of George Floyd ignited the firestorm of protests that gripped the world's attention during a most chaotic year. And along with it affecting both The Challenge and Siesta Key, the past undoing's and actions by reality personalities also shook one of Hollywood's most well-known hangout joints.

Three years ago, Faith Stowers found herself as one of the ten entrants to the Ex On The Beach house in Hawaii and then competed on two seasons of The Challenge... but she was also someone unique in the environment of Vanderpump Rules. She was the only Black cast member of the Bravo series, being known before crossing into MTV space for her brief affair on Jax Taylor and causing him to cheat on Brittany Cartwright. And it was last year that a 2018 off-camera incident was brought to light where original VPR castmates Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute sent local police a false police report involving Faith. After it made waves in British red top tabloid The Daily Mail, Stassi used racially insensitive language when sharing that article while also discussing it on her podcast... but the damage had been done, and she & Kristen were booted from the show.

Faith is now plotting her own course in the world of reality television as she has been shopping around her own series to other outlets following her career in owning her own business in addition to following her life as a mom after beating out everyone else in the SUR world (including Scheana) to parenthood. And last week to kick off a different than usual Grammy Week, she got to hang out with one who has ambitions on becoming a household name as she got to drop some new music...
