Jax Taylor Fired from ‘The Valley,’ Replacements Announced

Jax Taylor has reportedly been dismissed from The Valley amid his stay at a mental health facility. Despite his departure, the show’s producers have already secured replacements to continue filming without interruption. Here’s what you need to know about who’s stepping in for Jax and the viewers’ opinions on the new cast members.

Jax Taylor has struggled with mental health issues for years. He has attended therapy sessions and even tried Reiki, guided by SUR manager Peter Madrigal. At one point, his wife, Brittany Cartwright, told him that he needed to make significant changes to save their marriage. Despite his promises to seek therapy, he bailed on his commitments. As Season 2 of The Valley began filming, Jax made the critical decision to enter a mental health facility.

Amid his treatment, it became evident that the show had to move forward without him. According to a Reddit thread, Jax has been fired from the spinoff of Vanderpump Rules due to aggressive behavior. There is a possibility of reassessment once he completes his treatment. Brittany Cartwright’s influence could also determine whether he might return. In the meantime, Bravo has introduced two close friends of the current cast to fill the gap left by Jax.

Interestingly, Jax Taylor was against Scheana Shay and Lala Kent joining the cast. In the Season 11 reunion of Vanderpump Rules, Lala even threw Brittany under the bus, which did not sit well with the fans. Brittany expressed her fears about being unable to provide for her family if Vanderpump didn’t continue filming. Meanwhile, Scheana has mentioned that her true friends are on The Valley, making her feel more at ease. So what do the viewers think about these new additions?

Reactions have been mixed. After learning about Jax Taylor’s firing and Lala Kent and Scheana Shay stepping in, here’s what some fans had to say:

• “I’m a skeptic by habit, but if this is true, it would be very interesting and could explain what’s been going on. Honestly, I don’t know why they put up with Jax’s behavior for so long.”
• “Until this is confirmed by someone other than Teddi Mellencamp, I’m going to assume he’s not fired.”
• “I don’t want to see Lala on my TV. Especially on The Valley.”
• “If Bravo won’t fire Teresa from RONJ, they’re definitely not firing Jax.”

The source of this information is Teddi Mellencamp, who claimed that Lala and Scheana were taking over for Jax. Despite his forced treatment to retain his job, many viewers remain skeptical until further confirmation. Some fans don’t mind Scheana joining, but Lala’s presence isn’t as welcomed.

Do you believe these claims? If so, would you prefer Lala and Scheana over Jax? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
