Jax Taylor's Shocking Confession: Marriage Regrets and Public Fallout
JAX TAYLOR EXPOSED: Reality TV Star's Shocking Confession on Watch What Happens Live Sends Shockwaves Through The Valley Fandom
In a jaw-dropping revelation that has left fans reeling, Jax Taylor, 45, dropped a bombshell on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen Tuesday night. The troubled reality TV star appeared on the show to dish about his crumbling marriage to estranged wife Brittany Cartwright, and what he revealed will leave you speechless.
As the cameras rolled, Jax reflected on his behavior during their tumultuous final months, which played out in all its glory on camera - including explosive fights with Brittany that left viewers cringing. The couple shares a 4-year-old son, Cruz, who is caught right in the middle of this messy divorce drama.
In a moment that will be etched in fans' minds forever, Jax finally broke his silence about his behavior towards Brittany. With tears streaming down his face, he admitted: "Nobody should ever have to deal with the way I acted. Nobody should ever have to deal with verbal abuse from anybody. I'm really sorry that people had to see all that."
But just when you thought it couldn't get any juicier, Jax dropped a bombshell that left viewers gasping. When asked about his biggest regret in the marriage, he delivered a stunning blow: "My biggest regret is not ending this marriage sooner... And I think I can speak for Brittany, this should have been over a long time ago."
Host Andy Cohen's eyes widened in shock as he quickly interjected: "Your biggest regret should maybe be how you treated her?" Jax nodded sheepishly, but it was too little, too late. The damage was done.
Fans were quick to take to social media to express their outrage and disappointment at Jax's lack of accountability. One fan wrote: "Watching Jax is a straight-up trigger for me - I had a panic attack watching the episode tonight! He should not have a platform to make this kind of behavior seem normal. He is disgusting!" Faiza from Ottawa echoed similar sentiments, saying, "Jax Taylor should be in jail, not on our TV screens. What message is Bravo sending? That they don't support women and support abusers time and time again?"
As the backlash continues to pour in, it's clear that Jax's days as a beloved reality TV star are numbered. Fans are calling for him to be dropped from The Valley, with many accusing Bravo of enabling his behavior.
In related news, it's been revealed that Jax has been struggling with addiction - specifically cocaine - and has even checked into rehab twice in the past year. In an explosive interview with USWeekly, he confessed: "I could probably buy a house for the amount of money I've spent on drugs... It's sickening to me. My parents did not raise this kind of person."
But it seems Jax still has a long way to go before he can truly turn his life around. His ex-wife Brittany Cartwright, 36, has come out swinging, saying she's "skeptical" about her ex's ability to kick the habit for good.
"I'm glad that he finally admitted to what was really going on," Brittany told TheScholarlyNote.com in an exclusive interview. "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."
The couple's tumultuous relationship has been playing out on reality TV since 2015, when they first crossed paths on Vanderpump Rules. After being fired from the show in late 2020, Jax and Brittany made a surprise comeback as main cast members on The Valley - but it seems their marriage was already on shaky ground.
The couple tied the knot in 2019 with a lavish wedding at the Kentucky Castle in Versailles, Kentucky, but things took a turn for the worse when they welcomed their son Cruz in 2021. It's clear that Jax still has a lot to learn about being a good partner and parent - but will it be too little, too late?
