Lisa Vanderpump ‘Proud’ of Jax Taylor During Mental Health Treatment

Lisa Vanderpump is expressing her pride in her former Vanderpump Rules co-star Jax Taylor, who recently checked himself into treatment for mental health reasons. While Jax has long acknowledged the need for help, it wasn’t until recently that he took action. Now, his former boss, Lisa Vanderpump, is speaking out in support of his decision.

The relationship between Lisa Vanderpump and Jax Taylor has been a tumultuous one. Although they frequently clashed during his time on Vanderpump Rules, Lisa admitted that he always treated her well. Despite stealing from SUR and multiple run-ins with the law, their relationship remained fun and dynamic. Lisa even attended Jax’s wedding to Brittany Cartwright shortly after her mother passed away. However, by the end of Season 8, Jax’s ego led him to refer to Vanderpump Rules as “his show,” causing friction. After that season, both Jax and Brittany exited, seemingly leaving some bad blood behind.

When Jax and Brittany made a comeback for the spinoff The Valley, Jax had some unkind things to say. He claimed that Vanderpump Rules was scripted, which didn’t sit well with Lisa. The tension continued into Season 11, when Jax made a guest appearance and attempted to make amends. On his own show, he faced issues with Brittany, who urged him to resolve his problems. They eventually split, and Jax still hadn’t sought the help he needed until Season 2 began filming.

According to Radar Online, Lisa Vanderpump is fully supportive of Jax’s move to seek treatment. She even reached out to him upon learning the news. An insider close to Lisa stated, “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.”

This show of support is especially notable given Jax’s previous harsh comments about the show that made him famous. When Jax labeled Vanderpump Rules as a scripted TV show, Lisa did not take it lightly. She openly disputed his claim, saying, “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’s apology for his comments, Lisa took it with skepticism. Throughout various seasons of Vanderpump Rules, Jax often sought therapy and claimed to be working on himself only to repeat his past mistakes. This time, there is hope that his step toward treatment will help him rid himself of the toxic energy that has plagued him.
