Vanderpump Rules Star Jax Taylor Owes $80,000 In Back Taxes

Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor had a fairly quiet season this go around. Usually the show ends up focusing on what antics Jax does, such as partying, cheating, and stealing sunglasses. Oh, and being the number one guy in the group. But since his father’s passing, Jax has waxed poetic that he is a changed man.

His proof was proposing to Brittany Cartwright. No cheating, shoplifting or going to jail this time! His main drama instead was raging at everyone’s favorite punching bag, James Kennedy. To be fair, he actually had a legitimate reason to be upset, unlike the rest of the group. James had rapped about Jax cheating with Faith Stowers right in front of Brittany at SUR. But, Jax being Jax, something shady had to go down this year.

And in the style of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the shadiness didn’t make it on the show. In an article from E! News, it was reported that Jax “allegedly owed a substantial amount in back taxes earlier this year.”

And, that the state of California“filed an $80,424 tax lien” against Jax. I am shocked! Just kidding. Is anyone really surprised that Jax allegedly didn’t pay his taxes? If anyone were to ask me, who on the show would be accused of not paying their taxes, the number one guy in the group would have been my number one choice.

So, if that happened, how was Jax recently able to buy a home? Or the rest of the Pump Rules crew for that matter. Los Angeles real estate ain’t cheap, and you sure aren’t buying a house there on a SURver’s salary!

According to Jax’s rep, everything is all good. His rep said, “Everything was taken care of before purchasing his house.” And you know that “taken care of” probably meant that Brittany took care of it. Or rather, anyone other than Jax. There’s still time to call off this wedding Brittany!
