Just when you think Jax Taylor couldn’t get more unhinged, The Valley delivers a plot twist straight out of a low-budget Lifetime movie. We’re talking Ring camera surveillance, a fake Instagram account (hi, Frank Dremon), and a level of spiraling that hasn’t been seen for some time. Yes, Jax, former SUR bartender, current Valley villain, and forever Bravo’s most chaotic man-child, has officially entered his surveillance era. And while Brittany Cartwright may be the one moving out, it’s Jax who’s truly showing himself. Let’s break down what we now know: the spying, the burner account, and what it all proves about the man who still thinks he’s the main character in a show that was never actually his.
Jax Taylor was spying on Brittany Cartwright with Ring security cameras
First, let’s talk about the Ring situation. Because yes, this is real. According to Brittany’s own words (and confirmed onscreen), Jax was using their home’s Ring security system to watch her come and go. The Valley fans learned he was tracking when she left, when she came back, and who she was with. Let that sink in. This isn’t some random effort to be more protective while he was in rehab for 30 days storyline. This is full-on digital surveillance. And it wasn’t just Brittany who felt creeped out,
Bravo fans lit up social media with the same reaction, noting this is not normal behavior. Brittany, to her credit, called it out. The mother of one even tried to cover the cameras once he had vacated the family home. She was visibly uncomfortable and clearly frustrated that Jax was using technology to monitor her instead of, you know, talking to her like an adult. The trust is gone. The respect is gone. The security cameras are part of the control spiral that Jax seems to think is completely reasonable.
Jax Taylor admitted using a burner account called Frank Dremon
Just when you thought it couldn’t get weirder, enter Frank. A burner account is supposed to be secret. It’s like a strip club, you look but you don’t touch. During the latest episode, viewers learned that’s the name Jax uses for a burner Instagram account he created to keep tabs on everyone. Whether it was checking up on Brittany, watching who followed who, or keeping an eye on social media comments, Frank was Jax’s secret identity for lurking. Although it wasn’t quite a secret since Jax forgot that he told his wife about him. The father of one even messaged her account from rehab, reminding her to lock the door.
The name itself is peak Jax. It’s bizarre, slightly ridiculous, and completely unnecessary. But the behavior behind it? That’s the real red flag. This isn’t just about curiosity. This is about control. Brittany told her friends, “Frank Dremon is Jax’s secret burner account on Instagram where he goes into the fan pages and defends himself. He said, ‘Jax Taylor is the show,’ and he was like, ‘Who wouldn’t be mad if their wife was hooking up with their friend?’ Just saying, like, all kinds of crazy stuff.” If you’re creating fake profiles to monitor your wife and probably your castmates, you’re not being proactive. Jax is acting paranoid. And if you feel the need to hide behind a burner just to scroll Instagram, maybe it’s time to admit the problem isn’t the people you’re watching. It’s you.
Jax Taylor’s spiraling behavior proves one thing: He’s not changed
Let’s call it what it is: Jax is spiraling. And not in a cute, Bravo-messy way. For Jax, it doesn’t feel like anything has changed since his days on Vanderpump Rules. The man who once cheated, lied, gaslit, and then blamed everyone else for attacking him is now using technology to do the same thing just with updated tools. And that is pretty horrifying. And while Jax loves to say he has grown up, nothing about this behavior suggests growth. It suggests emotional regression. The same insecurity, the same need for control, and the same refusal to look inward.
Brittany and her fans have clearly reached their limit. We’ve been here for a while. Watching Jax spiral is no longer entertaining. It’s exhausting. He’s not misunderstood, and he’s not evolving. He’s just stuck in the same toxic cycle, now with “Frank Dremon” as his alter ego. If Jax truly wants to change, he needs to start by logging out of his burner and logging into therapy. For Jax, it’s the same energy, new just in new packaging.
The Valley is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
