Wondering if Jax Taylor was fired from The Valley after a dramatic start to Season 2? The reality star, known for his volatile behavior and rocky marriage to Brittany Cartwright, has been largely absent from recent episodes. Amid fan speculation and online rumors, new details explain his sudden disappearance from the show.
Here’s what happened to Jax Taylor on The Valley and whether he’s been officially let go.
Has Jax Taylor been fired from The Valley?
Jax Taylor has not been fired from The Valley, despite widespread speculation online. Misinformation has circulated due to AI-generated content and unverified social media posts, but no official confirmation of his dismissal has been made.
In The Valley Season 2, Jax appeared in the first two episodes before stepping away from filming. This absence followed a violent altercation with his wife Brittany Cartwright, during which he “flipped the coffee table” after discovering explicit messages on her iPad. Brittany recalled, “It hit my knee. It turned black immediately… I’m like, screaming, crying. It was terrifying.”
After the incident, Jax voluntarily checked into a rehabilitation center. Producers filled his on-screen absence with two video messages in later episodes. In Episode 5, Jax said he felt disappointed that Brittany hadn’t checked on him.
Brittany told her friends that Jax had been “constantly rage texting” her. In Episode 7, Jax shared his plans to see his son Cruz after 17 days. He noted that he and Brittany met at a playground with a therapist, though the reunion wasn’t filmed.
Bravo has not confirmed any change to Jax’s status as a full-time cast member. However, reports indicate that the network is reassessing the cast lineup ahead of future seasons.
Jax’s current storyline continues from earlier revelations about his 2020 exit from Vanderpump Rules. On his In The Mind of a Man podcast, he admitted to clashing with producers and refusing to film scheduled scenes. “I was not going to drive three hours,” he said about a Malibu shoot. Producer Alex Baskin added, “You were being a pain in the a–… you were sabotaging the production.”
The Valley airs on Bravo and streams on Peacock (US) and Hayu (UK, Ireland).
