Ariana Madix: ‘Pump Rules’ Is Better Without Jax Taylor!

Ariana Madix does not miss the OGs of Vanderpump Rules. She made that clear before. As TV Shows Ace previously reported, Ariana wishes that Lala Kent would stop focusing on the past. Her co-star thinks that some of the originals should come back.

Lala and Ariana have been feuding for most of Season 9 of Pump Rules. Ariana is no longer holding back her feelings about the cast. She doesn’t care if they know how she feels about them, and she doesn’t care what they think of her. Ariana and her boyfriend Tom Sandoval feuded with Jax Taylor at the Season 8 reunion.

Find out why she thinks the show is better off without him.

Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright left Vanderpump Rules

In December 2020, the couple announced their departure from the show. Ariana Madix must’ve been happy when she learned the news. Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright claimed they made the difficult decision to leave the show. It makes sense since they had a fallout with many of their co-stars in Season 8.

Sandoval and Ariana ended their longtime friendship with the pair. However, there were whispers that Bravo quietly fired them. Just because they left the Bravo series doesn’t mean they’re leaving television permanently. Jax made it clear that he would like to have his own show.

Fans are wondering about Jax’s return. He did tease that he’s making a comeback soon. So far, he got his own special on Amazon Live. There are also rumors about Brittany and Jax appearing in their own series on Peacock.

That’s interesting considering the rumors that Bravo fired them. NBC Universal owns both Bravo and Peacock. If the couple gets a spinoff on the streaming service then it confirms that they were never fired in the first place. Plus, fans have been looking for some sort of spinoff with the VPR original castmates.

Ariana Madix thinks the show is better off without them

The Vanderpump Rules star thinks Jax Taylor dragged down the show. She felt that his constant attacks made it a little boring. Ariana Madix looked back at Jax’s breakdown in Season 8. She admitted that she was “bored” with his attacks on the cast.

“He would say whatever he wants about anybody, then you would spend three and four days talking about it,” Ariana Madix said on the In The Know’s “We Should Talk” series. “It just sucks all the life out of everything else.”

Currently, Ariana is in an “ongoing” feud with Lala. There are also moments when Katie and Sandoval feud as he prepares to open a new bar with Tom Schwartz. When it came to talking about her feud with Lala, Ariana said that she simply “doesn’t appreciate someone just talking s*** about me.” According to Ariana, Lala never apologized for the many things she said behind her back.

However, Ariana did reach out to Lala following her split from fiance Randall Emmett. She admits that she has no idea “what’s going to happen in the future.” She’s also not sure of Lala’s future plans. Despite their feud, Ariana Madix supports Lala with “whatever decision she makes.”

Vanderpump Rules Season 9 airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
