One disgraced Bravo star has shared a rare message about one of their long-fought endeavors, making it clear that even the successful parts of their life have been hurt by their behavior. Throughout The Valley season 2, it’s been clear that the cast has had a tough time picking up the pieces of their lives after drama, especially Jax Taylor.
Jax, who’s opened up about his addiction in recent months after allegedly completing a stint in a rehab facility during The Valley season 2, shared a difficult message about his bar, Jax’s, after consistent backlash against his behavior. Sharing that he’ll be ending his partnership in the business, explaining it’s vital “to prioritize his sobriety and mental health” moving forward (via US Weekly).
Jax and his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, opened Jax’s in late 2023, as documented on The Valley season 1. While Jax has always been adamant that the sports bar has been his passion project, Brittany was heavily involved in the opening, design, and operation on screen. In recent weeks, Bravo fans had documented the sign on Jax’s being removed and assumed something was changing.
What Jax Taylor Leaving Jax’s Behind Means For His Career
He’s Prioritizing Himself Over His Persona
Jax making the decision to step away from his business in the light he painted it in makes sense, as he’s been struggling in his personal life for quite some time. Jax explained that he’d be stepping back in order to focus on his mental health and his personal life, which is very much in line with what he’s been sharing publicly.
Though Jax, who opened up about the struggles and pressures of opening Jax’s Studio City during The Valley’s first season, made it clear that he was having a tough time managing his personal relationships, family, and professional responsibilities prior to the bar’s opening. Despite knowing it was high-stress, Jax pushed to have the bar be part of his storyline on The Valley.
Our Take On Jax Taylor’s Decision To Step Back From Jax’s
There’s Likely More To The Story Than He’s Sharing
While Jax is seemingly being open about what’s happening with his position on the operating team of the bar, it’s possible that there could be a lot more to the story than he’s letting on. Jax has been getting publicly called out for his behavior, and the bad press is likely bad for business when it comes to Jax’s Studio City.
With Jax working alongside partners on the restaurant’s operation side, it’s possible that he was asked to step away from the business for the sake of the brand. As it appears Jax’s is rebranding into something else entirely, it’s possible the other partners in the business didn’t want him involved. Stepping away from The Valley and his business, Jax is having a tough time.
