Wife Swap’s Stephen Fowler Threatens to Sue Reality Roll Call

First of all, I have to say that I didn’t see Wife Swap last night, but I wish I had. Apparently, this guy is real tool because we have never gotten so many hits in such a short time on one post. EVER.
Anyway, Stephen Fowler sent me an email sometime this morning, threatening to sue us if we don’t remove his address from the site. Here’s what he wrote:
Your website lists my home address. We have already received threats as a result of this. If you do not remove this immediately, I will sue forthwith.
Please confirm by return or you will hear from attorney.
***********************Stephen Fowler
I don’t know where you all got his home address, but clearly it is public record. So you’re gonna have to get that information somewhere else, because we can’t let you post it. Not because of his threat, but because it is just not the policy of Reality Roll Call to divulge personal addresses of anyone. Besides, you all know where to get it if you want it.
Don’t stoop down to his level by going to his house, and being the ass that you all think he is. You are always free to comment on any person on any show. That’s one of the reason’s RealityRollCall.com is here. But I don’t want you guys to get in trouble for taking it too far.

Ok, Linda, Mr. Fowler is the real prick. He’s the one that put his family in danger by offending just about everyone in this beautiful world. You can take him back to the UK with you and have him for tea. Public info is just that- public.
Well first of all, your a dirt bag for posting his address. So what he is tool but should his family suffer their safety because you did not like his behaviour. I agree he is a pric but you are by far a ruthless slime for putting his family in danger. Don’t you care about children? Obviously not you care more about your hate for this person. Dont use this spineless excuse anyone can get public info. You just made it easier not caring about the consequences for his family. You are voted the bigger ass wipe.
“or you will hear from attroney”
Is that proper english ?:)
I have always enjoyed wife swap until this episode aired. Stephen Fowler is the rudest, arrogant, closed minded, wannabe snob ever to appear on this show. Your kids will continue to suffer as a direct result of your actions. You may have a college degree but you should have learned to think before you speak.
Let’s see here. He insults a woman and basically a group of people with his comments and wonders why people are so upset. What a stupid asshole. I wish I had his address. I would kill hm
Stephen Fowler and his wife think they’re better than most Americans. He thinks that because he has a good education…he knows better than most people. That because they have this degree or that degree they are wiser than most people.
They may be educated folk…. but you can’t teach a FOOL how to be wise.
He’s apologizing now because he can’t stand the heat. His comments came from what was in his heart. He’s an arrogant, selfish, unloving, foolish man. His wife thinks she’s something extra special too….and they’re passing their crappy attitudes on to their children. But I’ll bet that they don’t even see it that way. I hope their children learn to be better people than their father is.
Steve can give abuse by the bucketful, but he sucks at taking it himself. What a crybaby limey.
Stephen Fowler, you are an elitist prissy wanker, a snob, and a piece of human filth. What is wrong with you? You don’t deserve to live in San Francisco. Get out of here, you useless piece of trash. Jerk offs like you create a negative stereotype of this city.
I hope this blaze of negative publicity exposing you for what you are causes you to lose your job. You should also be deported as an undesirable alien, because you don’t deserve to live in this country anymore.
I just watched the online show featuring the Fowler family. I have a few comments on this episode.
1. Clearly, Mr. Fowler is blissfully unaware that his behavior has probably sterotyped other followers of his causes into those of elitist jerks. This could have provided a widespread opportunity to demonstrate his viewpoints and way of life in an approachable light. However; it certainly appears that he has turned ‘outsiders’ to his causes into those mistrustful of those who follow those issues due to his bahavior and inability to see another point of view.
2. Having struggled with my weight for my lifetime, I can say for certain that I will continue my struggle alone and do my best to get healthy. I would never enter this family’s home to partake of Mrs. Fowler’s services as a matter of principle. If she is able to tolerate her husband’s actions, words and disrespectful behavior then how can I assume that she would not share those same views and is just happy to cash in on others’ shortcomings and then bash them behind closed doors. I hope her business is seen as a sham as a result of her tolerance of this situation.
3. If Mr. and Mrs. Fowler feel that America is ‘just a place’ you are born and that there is no pride to be taken in the privilege to live here, then I suggest that they drop her daughter off in Taiwan, Middle East or another place where women are treated in hideous manners. I’d bet that her daughter would learn an appreciation for the privilege of ‘just being born’ in America. For such ‘educated’ people, they certainly are narrow-minded in their views and appear to approach opportunity to reach others in a poor manner, to say the very least.
4. I do see that some of their thinking and ways of life have value, as do some of the values of the ’swap family’. But in the end, Mr. Fowler, you truly came off as the unsophisticated and ungracious one. As a result, your viewpoints are completely lost on the viewing public-what exacly was your point of participating in this show?
Shame on you and your family for wasting such an opportunity to give and to learn something. Could it be that all those hours without a glass of wine with the cameras on put you on edge for a good portion of the visit?
As a reality show would seem to define your dreaded Middle America-then why on earth did you participate? You and your family are welcome to head home or to another country–but be aware that many other countries would not allow you to bash the government or it’s way of life with such tolerance as our country has shown you…sadly for you though is that freedom of speech works in both directions and now you have responses such as this to deal with after your ‘fifteen minutes’ of wasted words and poor behavior is now over.
Shame on you.
The British evidently didn’t want this guy and he must have blown Barney Frank or some one else in power to get into this country. He has about as much charm as a terd in a punch bowl. His neighbors in the wife swap episode didn’t even seem to like this self pro claimed enlightened one. If this guy was so brilliant how could he not see what his antics would do to his business, his wife’s business or their home life. This is the kind of guy that Santa Claus would have put dog droppings in his sock instead of coal just to make sure he got the point. I would be willing to donate money for a one way ticket back to England for this misfit. I bet if you went to England and interviewed people that knew him they would say that he was the biggest A-hole they ever met and thank God he went to America. I hope ABC sues him for defamation and trial costs.
I think he and his wife should go back to England.I don’t think they deserve to be in this country. I would like to know what both he and his wife’s IQ is.
It seems they can’t get a real job. He and his wife are both in need of some psych care. I would not be affilated with any company they have anything to do with.His wife is a lazy bitch. I think he is a worthless asshole.
I see a divorce in their future, also thought an AA meeting might help Stephen. This couple must have had, despite their careers, little sense of what appearing on a reality show would do to them..
I feel for their kids, their lives will never be the same, I see a geographic move soon as the Noe Valley Community seems unhappy to be somewhat misunderstood.
He is an ass, but Wife Swap did originate out of the UK, so is it our bad taste, Stephen…?
Go home and eat an organic banger…
Everything that Stephen Fowler said is the truth. Clearly, truthfulness hurts but just accept it. She was an overweight, uneducated, over opinionated women. Unfortunately, these are the least of the issues with the Longs. This is not about a crash of cultures or stereotyping people. We as Americans should not take the Longs as the typical American family. In fact, if that was the case then our country would have collapsed a long time ago. We would have succumbed to be a poor redneck country. We are the people making this a great a nation. Americans with a passion for culture, entrepreneurship, knowledge, innovations, sports. We are moving our country forward competing against Europeans, Asian countries. Not the Longs, they represent what is wrong with America. I don’t care about their eating habits, but I do care about their lack of vocabulary, no common sense and limited productivity. They have no appetite for knowledge and no thirst for progress. They don’t want to improve their modest ways of living but keep it. They cultivate HATE and ignorance in their children to past it from generation after generation. Am I supposed to be ok with that?. NO. I believe in America. I believe we are better than that. We have our own culture, values, and unbounded vision. We are the greatest nation because we pushed forward the barriers of ignorance. Are we moving backwards now?. I am NOT proud of the media trying to portrait our nation being represented by the Longs and starting a witch hunt against the Fowlers. This is not about them, this is about what is the truth and what needs to be changed in America. I hope we are better than that.
I can’t believe this is generating such a response. I don’t watch reality TV but this episode has made enough news that even I have heard about it. I agree that Fowler is certainly something of an elitist ass who should go back where he came from – we have enough pompous blowhards in this country already – but he was probably told to overplay his ugly tendencies to make good “reality” TV. Really, anyone who is idiotic enough to go on these reality TV shows in the first place pretty much deserves what they get-on both sides. No one ever comes off looking good on them – the point of all of them is to generate controversy. Someday someone is going to really go crazy and hurt someone. Shows like this should be taken off the air. It’s unfortunate that people continue to watch them enough that they are allowed to continue. I understand that it’s a bit like rubbernecking at a car accident – many people just can’t help themselves even if it slows down traffic – but it’s time to get a life and move on. Watch something worthwhile. Better yet, read a book. Even the phone book would have more value than any reality show on TV.
I believe that people that have been in charge of this country are just like this person. They have gave exported jobs to less fortunate countries do to they think the American people have learned to much. Our foreclosure crisis is directly linked to the job loss in this country. This is directly linked to NAFTA and directly linked to China which in turn is directly linked to human rights abuses,which in turn is directly linked to educated people like Bill and Hillary Clinton signing in Nafta all in order to undermine the half way educated AMERiCANS that want a decnt living and to be treated decently. What is uneducated about wanting to survive decently. Nothing. Unless you ask an educated person that only wants to leech off the less fortunate that do not make enough money to send their kids to college because the educated dont want to let them make enough to educate them.
The Corporate America has played the shell game with all Americans and they are just like Stephen Fowler. They have sent millions of jobs overseas and then wonder why there are so many foreclosures. They know why. They blame the Banks. The banks have nothing to do with it. They are only trying to confuse the uneducated masses. The reason for foreclosures is directly linked to the job loss that is directly linked to the export of American jobs which is directly linked to NAFTA which is directly linked to Bill Clinton which is directly linked to CHINA which is directly linked to his million dollar speeches after his leaving office and after signing in NAFTA. These are all linked to the Rich and Affluent and educated taking away the wealth of the underclass for their own evil purposes with no regard for anyone but their self serving self centered mentality just like Stephen Fowler. So YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW
I believe that our country is in the state it is in do to people that are exactly like Stephen Fowler. These people criticize the masses for their uneducated lifestyle and yet in the same breath they limit their ability to an affordable education. In simple terms most Americans have to scrape out a living in order to survive. Also these same affluent educated people also dreams of new gimmicks in order to swindle the masses out of their monies and criticize them when they want a decent living. They give a no win scenario. No PAY for the uneducated and no ability to get an education. As far as patriotism you will not find many educated people that are willing to give their lives for this country,but they demand the undereducated to fight and give their lives. I dont know if it is going to take a revolution in order to straighten these evils out or what but something has to change.
Disgusting, all the years of living with this arrogant, disgusting, rude, sorry excuse for an “American” and human being has rubbed off on his wife, Renee. They both have issues, especially Stephen. Are there any psychologists out there to tell us what disorders he may have? I’m sure his children are rotting away being exposed to this animal. As far as the empty threats in regards to the law suits. Again what an idiot. Last thing he needs is more negative publicity. Can you imagine how many people would show up to that court hearing? And how much more negative publicity that would give? This jerk has a chip on his shoulder and just wont learn. What a BULLY. Now he has some BS apology on his wife’s website, as if we are supposed to buy into his remorse. The only remorse this egotistical fool has is remorse for himself and the negative impact it has caused on his life. Clearly someone who is capable of such venom is unable to have remorse for others. This animal should be caged.
I now have just added a new word to my vocabulary (Oxford’s or Merriam-Webster’s– HA!). It is: a fowler, to fowlerize, fowlerism, fowlery,… found them at the StephenFowlerSucks.com website.
Go check them out. I’ve been using these terms left and right to describe such an UNGRATEFUL, POMPOUS ASS WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS GREAT COUNTRY AND YET SHOWS UTTERLY NO RESPECT FOR ITS PEOPLE.
Stephen,
GO BACK TO ENGLAND!
Tonight I was informed that people were outraged by Stephen Fowler’s behavior on Wife Swap! THANK YOU GOD!!! I have never been so upset watching a show that I had the power to turn away from. However, I couldn’t believe that the episode even made it to TV. It was just that bad and the Network should never have allowed it. Stephen deserves everything he get’s as a result of his terrible behavior and the worst part is that he has kids. He should not only resign from two boards for bad behavior but he should be shipped back to where every the heck he came from. He should not be allowed to breath in America! He is just that aweful! God bless Mrs. Long for surviving this horrible experience with grace, dignity and love for the children of bad parents. Now, tell the Fowler’s to feast on that. It will keep them healthy as they shouldn’t want to eat due to upset stomach.
BTW, I hope that it will be on one of those “shocking” reality shows for all to see.
This guy is just a dumb schmuck who will get his ass kicked one day!!
I think that Fowler should just agree to go into a ring with a couple of what he calls “red-neck” chicks and have them whip his ass in the ring. If the ladies win, then he should publicly apologize on TV after his beat-down.
Just because someone may be more educated, does not mean they are a “better person”. After watching the episode on youtube, it was disgusting to watch Mr. Fowler’s arrogance, rudeness, unpolitefullness. It is more important to be a good person, who is not judgmental, looking down on others, putting them down. To build himself up, he feels and thinks he is better than others. Shame on him!
The episode aired a couple weeks ago and I am still in shock.
First, I would like to thank everyone on all of the various website comments regarding this episode on Wife Swap. Keep them coming!
Like many other people, I was called into the family room to watch this episode as it was airing on TV. Being from Iowa and hearing all of the disrespectful comments toward midwestern residents I was irate. Immediately I wanted to get onto ABC.com and blast them for airing the episode, but apparrently so did the rest of the nation because the website was busy.
Even though I was irate I felt sorry for his kids who never get to play with friends or spend much “family time” with their parents. Education is very important, I completely agree but if you do not know how to interact with different personalities than the real world will not be a happy place for them.
I felt sorry for the wife because she doesn’t have the self confidence to stand up to her husband and now she (and the kids) are going to feel the emotional pain caused by his ignorance
I did feel sorry for Steven Fowler only because I will not be surprised when the day comes where we read that a stranger from the midwest walks up to Mr. Fowler and physically abuses him and tells him to go back to England.
An apology to the people of America, which he complained about continuously, more specifically people from the midwest may help but I think its best for Mr. Fowler to get counseling and stay away from the midwest for a few years because his name alone will trigger reminders of this episode.
Again, thank you to all for making these websites available to make Steven Fowler’s actions and comments known to the rest of the world.
You admit to hamming it up. Did you think there would be no backlash? How stupid can a person be. Now you have to suffer with your choices. Go back to your country and stay out of mine if you don’t like it. You are the ignorant one and have just proved it by stating you are going to file a lawsuit against a website that has your address listed. You are obviously very ignorant if you think no one can just look your name up and the town you live in. DUH!!!! what an idiot!!
I am going to watch this episode now. i am sure its on that other website that shows videos. *wink wink* First of all this moron apparently isn’t aware that there is a thing called the internet. If anyone wants someone’s number all they need to do is a search, if someone is more persistent they can go to another website and pay 3 bucks to get alot of info on a person. His threats about a lawsuit are just that, threats. No court is going to award this jerk a cent much less hear a ridiculous case such as this. Good luck to you on that one Mr. Fowler. you put yourself out there on public Tv and left yourself open to all you are getting. Deal with it.
Fowler is a self-absorbed control freak who thoroughly convinced himself that his shit smelled like roses, at least until he burst his own bubble by appearing on reality television? … Moron?
Had he not done this, he could have continued driving his fossil fuel burning BMW to his save-the-earth job one dollar at a time day job. His wife is quite a work to, she couldn’t even part with her shame of being an American. Can you imagine going through life as an American?
Honestly, these two are the archetypes of “progressive” San Francisco thinking, a crowd who generally use the mode of misery as a means of social interaction. If you’re not miserable, they’ll bring you down to their level, and once you’re miserable like them, you’ll finally be “smart.”
These snots usually never get what they deserve, but I think in Fowler’s case, their may be a few surprises on the menu. Certainly, any sane, reasonable person with any remote pangs of morality, should avoid doing business with this Nazi in “green” clothing.
…i’ve never seen this wife swap episode..never heard that this reality show exists..maybe bcoz i’m from the philippines..but when i opened yahoo it got me curious to see the headline “worst husband ever” i made a few clicks and read the angered thoughts of american(most of them fr san francisco’s) and i thought is this stephen Fowler really exist or just a reincarnation of some elites who never cared about other people..we have a very high respect to americans and for that fowler to tell all those horrible words not just to gayla but to all americans is just so insulting bcoz if that’s what hew thinks about USA what’s more to asia? fowler’s a asshole!
