LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Now, with Jax Taylor stepping away from 'The Valley', Scheana Shay and Lala Kent are going to turn the dynamic of the show upside down. Both stars of 'Vanderpump Rules' have held super dramatic roles in their series. Thus, their joining is highly expected to bring both excitement and conflict to the series. Their arrival could also mean intense confrontations and heated discussions since they are known to speak their minds without sugarcoating anything. That close friendship between Scheana and Lala might then play into the way they connect with other cast members; some may be set up now for new alliances or rifts.

Furthermore, they are going to have even more behind-the-scenes views regarding the reality of family life and personal problems, so this adds a great deal to the depth of the story in the show. Unresolved issues from 'Vanderpump Rules' are sure to come to light, which may further result in new feuds or resolutions. The crossover is going to keep more viewers attached with such buzz around it, bringing in fans from the previous show as well as enhancing interest in 'The Valley' Season 2.

Jax Taylor was fired from 'Vanderpump Rules'

Jax Taylor was fired from 'Vanderpump Rules' due to a combination of controversies and issues with the show's network. His dismissal came after several other cast members were let go, including Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute, who faced backlash for racially insensitive behavior.

Jax’s firing was not unexpected. Over the years, he was involved in numerous scandals, such as cheating on past partners, making negative comments about mental health, and having controversial views on LGBTQIA+ issues.

His behavior often led to conflicts with other cast members and strained his relationship with the network. One significant issue was his involvement in a controversy involving Stassi and Kristen’s accusations against Faith Stowers, which further damaged his standing with Bravo. Lisa Vanderpump, a key figure on the show, repeatedly tried to manage Jax's behavior but eventually grew tired of the ongoing problems.

'The Valley' showed Jax Taylor's troubled marriage

On 'The Valley', Jax Taylor has been struggling with significant marital issues. The show highlighted the couple's difficulties as they navigate their relationship while also managing their new business venture, Jax's Studio City, and parenting their three-year-old son, Cruz.

The tension between Jax and Brittany Cartwright has been evident, with the couple admitting that they haven't been intimate for over a month and a half. Brittany is trying hard to rekindle their relationship and find their spark again, but Jax appears disinterested and distant. This strain has been exacerbated by Jax's busy work schedule and their responsibilities as parents.

Their issues have become more public with rumors of a potential separation. Jax has been linked to an alleged affair with his publicist, which has added to the couple's troubles. Despite attending events together, such as the White House Correspondents Dinner, there are clear signs of discord. Brittany has even unfollowed Jax and their publicist on social media, indicating deeper issues. Jax has expressed hope for reconciliation, while Brittany views their relationship as “very much separated.” These challenges were the central focus of 'The Valley', providing viewers with a raw look at their troubled marriage.
