Recently, Vanderpump Rules alum Jax Taylor revealed that he is fighting an addiction to coke. Right now, Jax and Brittany Cartwright are going through a divorce. Of course, their struggles to co-parent their son Cruz will be front and center on Season 2 of The Valley. Now Lisa Vanderpump is weighing in on Jax’s confession that he is an addict.
Lisa Vanderpump “knew something” was wrong before Jax Taylor’s cocaine confession
“I have substance issues – primarily with cocaine,” Jax previously admitted. “I’ve been dealing with this on and off since I was 23 and now I’m 45.” He added that during his separation from Brittany, “I hit rock bottom and I had to go to rehab.”
In fact, Jax shared that he went to rehab twice, and is currently sober. Welp, Lisa called into Andy Cohen’s radio show, Radio Andy, to discuss Jax’s revelation. Ratemybravo shared an audio clip via Instagram. ”How long has this been going on?” Lisa asked. “Because I knew when he had a huge deal with me and the last words he said were, ‘You’re on my show.’” She was referring to the Season 8 Pump Rules finale. According to Lisa, she looked into Jax’s eyes and noted that “something was awry, for sure.”
She continued, “But Jax is very stubborn and he is going to tell you what he wants you to know,” she added. “I knew something was going on but [I don’t have much contact with him] on The Valley,” Lisa explained. “I am not that involved – not like I am with Vanderpump Rules.”
However, Brittany isn’t giving Jax the benefit of the doubt. “For the first time, I can speak openly about the extent of trauma he’s instilled on our family over the years. I’ve tried desperately to help him without success,” Brittany stated. “I pray that one day he completely knocks this addiction, but I’m skeptical.” She added, “My only hope is that one day, he will be a better person for his son.”
The Valley is streaming on Peacock.
