Lisa Vanderpump ‘Proud’ Of Jax Taylor Amid Mental Health Stay
Lisa Vanderpump is admitting that she is “proud” of her former Vanderpump Rules co-star Jax Taylor amid his mental health stay.

Keep reading for all of the details as to what LVP had to say.
Lisa Vanderpump ‘Proud’ Of Jax Taylor Amid Mental Health Stay
It has been a contentious time between Lisa Vanderpump and Jax Taylor. The two have always butted heads but, when he was on Vanderpump Rules, she claimed he treated her very well. No matter how much he stole from SUR or how many times he was in jail, they somehow had a fun relationship. She even made a special effort to be at his wedding to Brittany Cartwright right after her mother passed. Yet, by the end of Season 8, his ego caused him to refer to Pump Rules as “his show” and that was enough. After that season, he and Brittany were gone and it appeared there was some bad blood.
When Jax and Brittany returned for the spinoff, The Valley, he had some harsh things to say. He claimed Vanderpump Rules was scripted and that rubbed LVP the wrong way. They came to blows in Season 11 when Jax made an appearance and he tried to make amends. Over on his own show, he was having issues with Brittany but all she wanted was for him to work out his problems. They split and he still had not gotten the help he needed until Season 2 began filming. So, what does Lisa have to say about his big move?
According to Radar Online, Lisa Vanderpump is immensely supportive of what he has chosen to do. Furthermore, she did reach out to him upon learning the news. An insider had this to say of LVP:
“Lisa cares a great deal about Jax and all her staff, both current and past. She knows firsthand the pressures of being on reality TV. It’s a tough business that eats you up and spits you out. She wants to make sure Jax knows she is proud of him.”
Again, this was really kind of her after Jax said such cruel things about the show that launched him.
Scripted Drama
When Jax Taylor outwardly said Vanderpump Rules was a scripted television show, Lisa Vanderpump did not take that lightly. Rather, she spoke out about how she felt and the truth behind it:
“I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to say ‘scripted.’ Nobody can write a script like Vanderpump Rules. Maybe he sits at home in his little bedroom and writes his own scripts. Well, what do I know? Anyway, for the most part, anything Jax says doesn’t make any sense to me.”
Despite Jax apologizing for what he had said, LVP took that with a grain of salt. In various seasons of Vanderpump Rules, Jax sought out therapy and claimed to be working on himself. Then, he would go and make the same mistakes as before. Hopefully, this works and he finally rids himself of all of the toxic energy that has been haunting him.
