Jax Taylor Exits Valley, Bravo Shakes Up Cast

It's April 1st, I'm Cory with the Story.

This is Entertainment and celebrity news, today driven by AI and built for the culture.

Jack's Taylor, the original bad boy from Vanderpump Rules, is sitting out season 3 of

its spin-off the Valley.

The show kicks off this Wednesday April 1st, on Bravo at APM Eastern.

After two messy seasons, Taylor announced last July he needs to prioritize his sobriety,

mental health, and co-parenting his son Cruz with ex-Britney.

Cartwright.

His time on the Valley turned into a public unraveling right after their separation

news dropped before season 1.

Things got worse in season 2, with her pushing for divorce.

His rehab stand for substance issues, and constant fights over money and custody.

Fans and insiders had mixed takes.

The cast felt blindsided, but Cartwright called it a huge relief, saying their trust was

gone, and now she is getting her sparkle back.

Even Andy Cohen backed it on his radio show, pointing to Taylor's control issues in anger,

hoping he stays off camera to heal.

Their divorce filing from August 2024 is still dragging on, but they nailed down joint

custody for Cruz this March, agreeing to team up.

On his health, school, and no bad mouthing each other, Bravo is shaking things up with

full-time spots for Vanderpump alums, La La Kent and Tom Schwartz, plus Lacey Nicole,

girlfriend of castmate Jesse Lally.

Catch it Wednesdays on Bravo, or next day on Peacock, as the Valley rolls on without

its founding fire starter.
