Jax Taylor leaves “The Valley” season 3 to concentrate on the restoration

Jax Taylor leaves “The Valley” season 3 to concentrate on the restoration


The Knotty question whether Jax Taylor would return to the third season of “The Valley” has now been answered: With his team, Taylor gave a statement that he refers to the Bravo show to concentrate on his recovery and mental health.

The statement, obtained from through diversityReads like this: “After an incredibly challenging year and many honest conversations with my team and producers, I will step away from the next season of 'The Valley'. At the moment my focus has to lie on my sobriety, my mental health and my relationship with the coparent.

In March, before the premiere of the second season of the show on April 15, Taylor announced that he was addicted to cocaine for more than two decades. By resigning Taylor, who became on July 11, 46, he avoids the high probability of being fired and increases his chances of returning at some point during the course of the show. Bravo did not make a comment.

Taylor's violations were written down in the second season of “The Valley” – the final, the final of which is broadcast on July 22, follow three reunification episodes. Two days before the start of the season with production in July 2024, Taylor injured his alienated wife (and colleague) Brittany Cartwright in her house in Valley Village by leafing through a coffee table that hit her knee. Then he threw furniture and beat the wall while her then 3-year-old son Cruz was in the next room. “Valley” star Nia Sanchez Booko, in an interview for a July 17th diversity The story of the second season of the show described her reaction after Cartwright had told her about this violent domestic incident. “I thought:” It is not safe. You definitely can't be nearby, “she recalled, as she told Cartwright.

Taylor's abusive outbreaks – again, shortly before the cameras rolled in the second season – determined a chain of events that at least initially seem to have sealed his fate with “The Valley”. Taylor and Cartwright separated in January 2024 (she took Cruz with him), and when Taylor Cartwright physically injured more than six months later, she told production, her castmates and executives at Bravo. The event was therefore the subject of the premiere of the second season, and in the next episode Taylor entered a facility for mental health. As reported in June diversityThe executing producer of “The Valley”, Alex Baskin, said Taylor said through Taylor by Cartwright, his sister, his manager and publicist (a team he still shares with Cartwright). Taylor's employers – the production company of Bravo and Baskin, 32 flavors – could not dictate that he was given help. “This is a step that someone has to take,” said Baskin.

However, Taylor realized in the angry text messages that Taylor sent from the Cartwright facility that he did not want to be there, and accused Cartwright. “You took my job away from me … I worked so hard for two years and took it from me,” read one. “Now work as a single mother. I watch the cameras and yours [sic] Not there, “said another.

During the facility in the facility – the Taylor Andy Cohen in Bravo's nightly talk show “Watch what hats hats Live”, Psyclarity Health – Taylor seemed to be chased by watching the cameras in her house on his phone and telling her what she was wearing. At another point when Cartwright filmed in her house, a producer went in to show her a text she had received from Taylor: “I can hear anything: childish behavior,” was it. When Cartwright visited a divorce lawyer, she showed her some of Taylor's texts, such as: The lawyer looked alerted. “These are many text messages – he is obsessed,” she told Cartwright. “It is unhealthy for you. He has to control himself. It's not good.” Cartwright began her divorce procedure that day and he was served in front of the camera after he had come from the facility.

In the course of the season, Bravo's activist Fandom has become increasingly loud in her requirements for being fired Taylor. On podcasts on Instagram in Subreddits – all anecdotal evidence, yes, but the spectators present an irrevocably introduced front, the audience made it clear that they were fed up with Taylor's shit. Cohen praised Taylor on “Watch What Hasing Live”, which is generally a funny slope and has a party atmosphere, as if he could stand Taylor, since the results of the flakes of the show showed that Taylor had 0% support from the audience. In an essay for the cut of the New York magazine, the writer Louis Staples called Bravo to shoot Taylor and wrote: “I understand why Bravo wanted to follow his story this season, but there is a point at a point at which hundreds of thousands of dollars to repeat the same abusive behavior patterns, not to defend or even pay entertaining.

This point may be further demonstrated in the episode of July 15, in which Taylor meets Cartwright to discuss his limited visits to Cruz. Cartwright asked Taylor how many Xanax he came in front of him, probably because of the calm how calm he was, and when he said he did not take any, she said: “Ok, because you are not even like yourself.” From there the conversation turned, with Taylor acting victim, and Cartwright said that after the trip from the facility he had returned to drink and celebrate. She told him that he could have taken medication for bipolar disorders for years, but now is too late. You have already ruined our family! “When Taylor Cartwright asked why” she tried to destroy your son's father, “she said:” It is no longer up to me to take up for you. These days are gone and over. ” And then follow this devastating statement: “I can't be something like you. And you should feel the same way.” Finally, Taylor left the house with a tearful Cartwright that she couldn't see him.

This departure from “The Valley” is not the first time that Taylor's poisonous behavior had serious consequences for him. After the eighth season of “Vanderpump Rules”, the national settlement caused the race to redesign the show in the late spring 2020. In June 2020, Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Daden were released because of their earlier racist campaigns against Faith Stowers, a black former cast member “Vanderpump Rules”. Six months later, Taylor-Die like Doute and Schroeder had accused the crimes she had not committed from “Vander pump rules” when Bravo decided not to bring him back for season 9 and to take a Cartwright pregnant at the time.

Taylor, Cartwright and Doute returned to the Bravo ramp light in the spring of 2023 when they became experts about the scandoval. Taylor was a roommate with Tom Sandoval – the fraudster in question – and Daden had agreed him for years: the bravosphere seemed to want to seem to want to make it clear that she always made the reasons for her and tried to learn from her mistakes, Taylor never made such gestures. When the explosive popularity of the Skandoval Baskin caused the moment to revive a pre-pandemical concept that he had for “The Valley” a show, in the “Vanderpump Rules” packaging members as older-taylor, cartwright and doute were in the middle. Bravo ordered “The Valley” directly to the series.

In episode 10 of the current season, Taylor returned home after 30 days. He threw a dinner for himself and then had to invite himself to a party in Jesse Lally's house, where many of those present avoided him. He was not invited to Maui, where Doute's friend Luke Broderick had planned her a secret proposal for her, and he was not much nearby, except when he was shot with Tom Schwartz, his former “Vanderpump Rules” cast mate, to which he moved next door.

In diversity'S interview with Sanchez Booko and Daniel Booko in early June when he was asked whether Taylor was to come back for the third season of “The Valley”, which will start filming later this summer, they thought about the idea.

“My goodness,” said Sanchez Booko. “I mean, we don't have 'the valley' if it weren't for him, Kristen and Brittany. I have the feeling that there must be recognition that it is his show.”

“He always made it clear – it is be Show, “said Booko.” He throws it up, he produces it. He does everything. “(Taylor is not a written producer in the” Valley “.)

When they thought more about it, Booko wondered whether it was something to see something to see a “sober Jax in one season”, but then he added: “Although he obviously has his anger problems – and anger”.

Of course, Taylor was gone for a considerable part of the second season of “The Valley”, and without him there was no lack of material. The already big line -up of the show created a number of stories that had nothing to do with Jax Taylor.

“Do I think it is? needed in season 3? “Sanchez Booko asked rhetorically and took a break before answering her question, and the question that all” Tals “runners thought.
