Well, the new guys on Vanderpump Rules may be trash.
We regret to inform any fans of the reality show who were starting to warm up to the newbies, but within hours racist tweets were found from not one but TWO of the new cast members.
First up was Max Boyens (above, right), the new general manager of TomTom, who made his debut on Season 8 of the Bravo hit.

Vanderpump viewers found tweets from Max’s account back in 2012 using racially insensitive language and even joking about hate crime violence. Here are a few
“It upsets me that the word n***a is not allowed to be said unless you are black because quite honestly it’s my favorite word. N**********A”
“Theres this girl I see everyday@school,she looks just like the girl from the movie precious&I’m not just saying this Cuz she’s big and black.”
“Something about Asians that just makes me want to punch them in the suck hole.”
“When is Justin bieber going to realize that saying n***a and cussing and having big booty bitches in his songs is the cool thing to do #queer.”
He also used the N-word a half dozen other times in tweets captured from October to December 2012. It’s… a lot.
(We have chosen not to share those screengrabs.)
Max has since owned up to the tweets, writing a statement of apology to Us Weekly:
“I want to sincerely apologize for what I tweeted in 2012 — it was wrong on every level. It is not a representation of who I am. I am shocked I ever tweeted that — and I am disgusted and embarrassed. I am truly sorry.”
Well. We appreciate the fact he took responsibility for his past words. In case you were curious, Max was 20 years old when he tweeted all of that. Oh, in addition to apologizing, the Bravo-lebrity has also made his Twitter account private, presumably to give his team time to find ALL the problematic tweets to delete.
Meanwhile, we have not yet heard any remorse from Brett Caprioni.
Yes, the SUR server also produced quite a few racially insensitive tweets between 2011 and 2013, including retweeting, quoting uncensored lyrics, and using the n-word in casual conversation. Here’s a selection:
“wassup wit black people wearin so much Aeropostale I don’t get it lol”
“who else tryna smoke n***a me tooooo cuz take my mind off the pressure is what weed dooooo”
“@jerock_odrama is the biggest #ravens fan right now, good luck my n***a! #RNS”
Thus far Brett has not responded to the resurfaced tweets. His most recent social media statement as of this writing is:
“I miss YT. A lot going on lately but today is the DAY. Filming a new life update so I can catch up w you guys ?? stay tuned”
Oh, we’ll stay tuned for that alright.
