Faith Stowers Alleges Lala Kent Threatened Her with Knife, Feared Disfigurement … Claims She Was Fired For Threatening to Call Police!

Faith Stowers Alleges Lala Kent Threatened Her with Knife, Feared Disfigurement … Claims She Was Fired For Threatening to Call Police!

Vanderpump Rules alum, Faith Stowers, claimed that Lala Kent came at her with a knife in her lawsuit against Bravo and NBCUniversal. 

The bombshell legal filing stated that Stowers was afraid that Kent would “stab, slice, or disfigure her.” She also alleged that she was warned to “get along” with her co-star, or face the consequences. 

Stowers claimed that she was “violently assaulted” by Kent in a lawsuit alleging discrimination and retaliation, filed in Los Angeles Friday. She claimed that she and Kent were in the dining room at SUR when an argument began “over Stowers’ disclosure of something Kent believed was said in confidence.”

“Kent became severely agitated, losing all self-control and hurling barbs at Stowers. Stowers and Kent retreated to a backroom, with Kent still screaming. With the cameras rolling, Kent grabbed a knife from a nearby counter and began brandishing it at Stowers, holding it to her neck and threatening to ‘cut a b——,'” the documents stated, per Radar Online. 

Stowers claimed that when she looked into Kent’s eyes she could tell her co-star was “deadly serious” while allegedly “wielding” the knife. She alleged that she believed she was in “actual danger” amid fear that Kent would “stab, slice, or disfigure her.” 

Stowers also stated that she thought she’d be “stereotyped due to her race” or “blamed for the events” if she tried to fight back in self defense.

She added that she was “deeply shaken” over the alleged ordeal and reported the purported incident to NBC and Evolution. 

Stowers claimed that NBC and Evolution “began the cover-up” immediately after she “expressed her intention to involve law enforcement.”

Stowers claimed that the show’s executive producer, Bill Langworthy, called her to “discourage her from involving the police or escalating the situation by speaking to the media.” She alleged that Langworthy “downplayed” the incident and “strongly implied” that she would suffer “severe career ramifications” if she went public with her claims. 

Stowers claimed that she was notified that “she would be terminated if she could not find a way to ‘get along’ with Kent,” the following day.

The former Bravo star alleged that she was “driven out by a vicious campaign of racist harassment and retaliation” as the only black Pump Rules cast member. She cited allegedly racist behaviors from former co-stars, Kristen Route, Stassi Schroeder and Brittany Cartwright. 

Stowers is seeking unspecified damages for claims including alleged discrimination, hostile work environment, wrongful termination and  intentional infliction of emotional distress. 

Stowers’ attorneys, Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman, told Radar of the lawsuit — “NBC and Evolution clearly believe that workplace safety rules, employment laws, and basic decency do not apply to those in reality TV. Vicious assaults, racist harassment, and impugning the service of veterans are apparently acceptable to NBC and Evolution for the sake of ratings. Faith did not know what kind of cesspool she had found herself in and reported this unlawful behavior to her superiors. In response, she was demoted to ‘volunteer’ and stripped of her already meager compensation.”
