Jax Taylor Goes on Pump Rules Rant: ‘This Is Scripted’

Former Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor has been doing his darndest to move on from the franchise, especially with his new spinoff show, The Valley. However, Jax’s latest antics might’ve been a push too far against the show that gave him his start.

In a TikTok from @katericcio, fans saw “Jax Taylor slamming VPR.” The setting looked to be a Pump Rules viewing party and Taylor’s own bar, Jax’s Studio City. As patrons watched the show, Jax was on a mic injecting his commentary: “They don’t even hang out with each other,” he said.

Jax claims VPR stopped being “real” after a certain point

“Show me a scripted show and I’ll show you f*cking Vanderpump Rules. Scripted! Scripted! I’ve been on this show for 9 f*cking years, this is scripted.” A patron behind the camera asked, “Is he okay?” Indeed, Jax seemed a little unwell and/or possibly inebriated. Nevertheless, he went on: “I’ll be on it next week, I’ll tell you what, it was scripted.” He got quite the rise out of the crowd.

“This is disastrous,” he continued. However, Jax clarified that the show’s first six seasons were all “organic” and “real.” “Now everybody starts to have money, now it becomes fake,” he said. He called “anything after six seasons … a f*cking wash.” He drew a laugh from the crowd by pointing out that no one would wear Chanel earrings to the beach.

When promotion for The Valley played, Jax called it “a real show … this is organic, it’s real.” Later, as the preview for the following week’s VPR episode played, Jax said, “Tom Schwartz is in Hawaii right now with his new girlfriend. They’re very happy. Okay, don’t buy that.” He pointed at the screen as Schwartz kissed Tori Keeth.

Reality Tea has reached out to a representative from Vanderpump Rules for comment.

Vanderpump Rules continues Tuesdays at 8/7c with The Valley following at 8/8c on Bravo.

TELL US – WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF JAX’S VPR RANT? DO YOU THINK THE SHOW IS AS ORCHESTRATED AS JAX SUGGESTED?
