Jax Taylor is the guy we all love to hate on Vanderpump Rules. He was a guy who only cared about his own well-being and never balked at taking those around him down if it meant he looked better. Even though he was not scrupulous, he was sure fun to watch, mainly because he always got himself into some kind of trouble.
Jax vs. The Truth
If Jax was one thing, he was consistent at lying. The truth always seemed to evade this Vanderpump Rules star, and between the stupid face he made when he lied and being an overall bad person, it was hard to watch him get away with stuff. Jax is able to lie so effortlessly that it is fascinating, so it didn’t surprise fans when they caught him at a reunion sharing he hadn’t seen Stassi Schroder in “two years,” but the cast was quick to note he just had lunch with her. Why lie about the small stuff? Four men in a mini is like four men in a clown car, which was a perfect fit for Jax.
Jax even started his own rumor about him and Brittany Cartwright breaking up, noting in his confessional, “Maybe I was the one who started it. So, I’m definitely allowed to flirt.” Turns out he was not. When Jax acts as if he has no clue why people would believe he cheated, it’s comical. You know how Jax gets away with everything? Because EVERYONE lets him…Brittany might be a good person and sweet as can be, but she had no backbone and I would think a backbone is more important than sugary sweetness. As for Jax, if you’re going to be a liar, at least you should be a good one.
Jax vs. James
Jax loved to insert himself into other people’s drama as this was a real skill for him. During an earlier season, when the father of one was working behind the bar at SUR, little-known James Kennedy really rubbed him the wrong way. Between being called an “old man” and talked down to, Jax had enough one night during the English DJ’s set. However, the villain of Vanderpump Rules finally met his match with the English Bravo star, which made for some classic moments. During Season 5, fans watched as Jax was put in his place.
While Lala Kent and James were chit-chatting about the DJ’s cheating scandal, Jax decided to tell them to keep their voices down so the public wouldn’t hear their debauchery. Just for good measure, Jax also told Lala to “Go suck more d*ck for Range Rovers.” Honestly, so funny. But James wasn’t having it, and the two went back and forth, with James finally yelling, “They need to take an order. You need to get more cosmopolitans. Pumptinis!” Art.
Jax vs James Take 2
Season 4 showed an explosive fight between Jax and James. The young DJ was annoying as ever, noting he wasn’t drinking but was still smoking weed. Jax had enough of James’s attitude after he told Kristina Kelly to “shut the fu*k up.” Jax could be seen in the corner with Brittany saying, “he’s a disrespectful motherfu*ker.” Even though Brittany urged him to stay out of it, Jax took the bait, which made for an epic fight.
It was pretty ironic hearing Jax say, “He’s a 23-year-old kid. He feels like he can talk to women however he wants. And that just isn’t acceptable,” telling James, “You don’t speak like that in front of women.” James drunkenly replied, “What you say? Stop telling me to calm down.” Jax was on probation at SUR, so it was interesting to watch him have to restrain from hitting James. But when James brought up Jax’s recent felony, the shit hit the fan. Jax yelled, “Shut up! Or I’m going to drop my fist in your face,” while being held back. Honestly, it felt like I was watching Snidley Whiplash go after the little squirrel.
Jax and the Sunglasses
What idiot steals a pair of sunglasses that he could easily have afforded? Jax. That’s who. While on vacation in Hawaii and on their way to the airport, Jax stole a pair of sunnies but got caught. Brittany, who was new to the group at the time, was left to bail the man out of jail and get him back to Los Angeles so he didn’t miss his shift. Jax didn’t get off scot-free and was punished legally for his bad actions.
Jax’s Protein Scare
Who could ever forget Jax’s season 5 health scare? While he was no stranger to the plastic surgeon’s office, this time, Jax shared he was having body image issues due to his gynecomastia, which is enlarged male breast tissue. During an earlier season, Jax had discovered growths in his pectoral muscles, which he first thought were cancerous. But during Season 2, he spoke to Stassi, telling her the doctor had told him that it was all due to his use of hormone-based protein powder several times a day. After being told he should stop drinking the shakes and was given a clean bill of health, Jax continued to get his protein fix which led to his man boob issue.
