‘The Valley’s Jesse Lally Gives Update On Jax Taylor

The Valley star Jax Taylor has gone through quite a difficult year as he’s been navigating his high-profile divorce with Brittany Cartwright. Amidst all of the headlines, his friend and co-star Jesse Lally has given some clarification to Jax’s current state. Read on to see how he’s doing.

What Did Jesse Lally Say About Jax Taylor?

Jesse recently did an interview where he was asked about how Jax is doing, to which he responded by saying that the reality star is doing pretty well, all things considering.

“Jax is good,” Lally shared. “Ever since the summer ended last year and things started to happen, [he] started leaning on me a lot more, and it was good.”

It’s not surprising that Jax is leaning on Jesse during his hard times. The two have been friends for years, dating back to when they were roommates and aspiring models in New York. Their earliest online photos date back to 2018.

Their closer bond in recent times also makes sense considering that Taylor isn’t the only one going through a split right now. Specifically, Jesse and his wife Michelle Lally are also going through a strained divorce. Both of their relationship downfalls will be shown in the upcoming season of The Valley.

Jax’s Mental Health Journey

Jax hasn’t just been relying on the support of his friends and family. He recently checked into a mental health facility and received care for thirty days.

After returning home, the reality star revealed that he was diagnosed with both Bipolar Disorder and PTSD.

A post shared by Jax (@mrjaxtaylor)

He wrote in his vulnerable IG post that he felt as though he was struggling with his mental health for years, way before his separation from Brittany.

Because he was inside of the facility, Jax wasn’t a part of most of the filming for Season 2. He did film scenes before his admittance.

The Valley Fans Don’t Like Jesse

Jax seems to be getting closer and closer to Jesse as time goes on. However, in the eyes of some people, that might not be the greatest idea.

After the premiere of The Valley, several viewers shared the same opinion that they felt put off by Jesse’s behavior.

In a Reddit thread, fans vented their first impressions of Lally, which were mostly negative. Here are a few of the comments:

• “He sets off every red flag and just makes me uncomfortable.”
• “Jesse has no redemable qualities so far. I hate Jax but at least he’s charasmatic.”
• “He gives me so much dark energy. It’s palpable through the screen.”
