[@joesoap572]

Jax: I was verbally abusive but I'm taking medication & committed to changing Also Jax: Blames Brittany for her response to his abuse. Starts telling lies about Brittany

[@JG-sm2uw]

Not defending him but he’s a narcissist he literally can’t help himself. Deflect deflect

[@RachelsMemos]

@@JG-sm2uw “I hope she’ll love me again” What an idiot and an ignorant one at that

[@Luckyboy_raju]

What a joke

[@melissalewis8803]

Jax is disgusting. He is a narcissistic jerk. He always has been. He is going to try and blame this on everyone but himself. "I would hope after this many years she will just forgive me after years of me abusing her." THAT SAYS IT ALL JAX

[@RealityTvLover]

He’s absolutely disgusting and hasn’t learned a damn thing . He needs to go back to rehab and pay attention this time , because he hasn’t learned a f*cking thing! He’s actually more disgusting than ever and is still lying !

[@angeliquebelluomini7797]

Jax. Stop. She’s a good woman and the mother of your son. These statements don’t sound like a new Jax.

[@johngutierrez6454]

Both of them can stop

[@RachelsMemos]

He’s disgusting and to think his son will eventually see his actions are sad!

[@basha0810]

No, she's not. She's an alcoholic.

[@lipstickstories2409]

Spot on.

[@lisalowe7798]

He hasn’t changed

[@Sassysouthernwitch]

He was rage texting her the entire time he was in rehab . He didn’t learn anything about himself. The only place he is going to end up is on Sandoval couch 😂

[@nastassiasmith4786]

The fact that he knows she isn't comfortable leaving the child with his dad is telling. Like you had to request to put in cameras just to put her at ease is alarming

[@Tsukibi20]

The gaslighting and manipulation in THIS is crazy...and probably triggering if you've ever dealt with a guy like this

[@nikkiterp]

Totally triggering! I’m in the midst of a felony domestic violence case with my ex and this gaslighting is very similar to what he did constantly! Too bad it took him strangling me into unconsciousness to finally leave him!

[@ericascharf8711]

This is very triggering. You think he’s so close to getting it too and kinda does which is more frustrating. Hes so close to healing if he would stop blaming her …

[@ericascharf8711]

@@nikkiterp❤

[@heatheroverturf5887]

This comment! It’s so true. He hasn’t changed even a little bit.

[@zardo4]

Thank goodness Britney dumped this dude. Go live your life, girl.

[@-amandaaaaaa]

They could never make me LIKE you Jax 💕

[@greengoddessasmr]

HAHA

[@teza2922]

He is nearly 50 , grow up, Jax , be honest and move on.

[@yvettetorres7829]

Jax stop trying to make Brittany the bad guy. You just tried to make her look bad by exposing private info. Run Brit, run.

[@tiffanimcmillian3058]

Britney is also part of the problem. It was both of them. It takes two to break a marriage up

[@poneil2165]

He is the same old POS. He can't stop trying to blame Brittany for everything. He needs to shut up period.

[@crustyKrabin95]

He is sadly stuck in a toxic manipulative loop. He's been saying this same speech making himself the victim and other people the reason why he behaves the way he does since season one of Vanderpump, ALMOST THIRTEEN YEARS AGO at the age of 33..... Eventually, there needs to be true accountability, which may mean stepping away from the public eye... and women. THANK GOD BRITNEY IS FREE 💚

[@mariasierra1232]

The fact that he’s 45 and she’s only 35 says it all! He had a young vulnerable Brittany who’s coming into her own

[@Humanity4ALL]

Need more therapy when you think she wants to see you fail. Maybe she was trying to do stuff with you because she respects you as a father and trying to keep things cool for your son. Do more therapy and find self awareness. You can’t fix it until you’re a self aware person. A wise person doesn’t do things to prove yourself to others, you prove to yourself.

[@katealison6087]

Brittany's done her research. Jax admitted he was diagnosed as a narcissist and clinical narcissists are pathologically unable to change - they have a personality disorder. For the first time Brittany hasn't publicly been discreet (the woman's a saint) and that's created what's known as a "narcissistic injury" in Jax. He's now desperately back pedalling trying to reclaim/maintain his mask and harbouring "narcissistic rage." Spot the devaluing he's now doing - "she wants me to fail." Brittany has had and may still have a very powerful trauma bond to Jax - it's incredibly hard to extract yourself from the cycle of narcissistic abuse.

[@michelleb3048]

So well put! Broke up with my narcissistic bf a year ago and I often find myself responding to his MANY texts trying to PROVE he has changed. He has not, shocker! And why do I even respond? It's exactly what you referred to, TRAUMA BOND!

[@sibelsahin4538]

It feels like an episode from Vanderpump rules 😂

[@LaDonnna]

He’s such a manipulator.

[@kriscravedi1453]

I do not believe Jax!

[@Roz-y2d]

Jax doesn’t believe himself!!! I don’t think he knows what the truth is. He’s so effed up that he can’t even work out what’s right and what’s wrong. I think he’s what’s described as amoral. Ugh

[@taylorbulley1102]

Jax…. Stop…… This is a replay of his same monologues from EVERY VPR Reunion!!! She clearly doesn’t want the father of her son to fail. It’s fair to not trust your journey because for years you say you’re changing but you really stay the same. She’s sick of it. Duh

[@deadeyes4626]

*mr victim at it again* 🙄 Hasn’t he been changing for a decade now

[@lorrainefitzkee5288]

Jax is such a narcissist!!!! He is full of himself. He only cares about himself!!!! He will never change! She's so much better without him!

[@Sarazee24]

Jax is SO messssyyyy!!

[@writerchik44]

Jax will never not be a narcissist, and never not cheat on a significant other. Any person (including Brittany) who chooses to get involved with him gets what they ask for.

[@Shannob]

Oh Jax, grow up you juvenile. Poor Brittany having this guy for an ex and baby daddy.

[@mrs0lodolo925]

Is this guy serious???

[@RealityTvLover]

Jax reciting the same ole script he always has and it’s falling apart . This interview made you look worse than ever Jax . Thank goodness Alex did this interview because people need to see how gross and conniving this man is . Nothing real or genuine about him. Wow

[@nastassiasmith4786]

Jax will always be jax. He is a narcissist. Anyone can change, but a narcissist chooses not to.

[@nikkigriffin6430]

It's always boo hoo Jax and blame others. Narc that made shit up to make his wife look bad.

[@VC-pq3ui]

Cruz hasn’t been to his house after saying allllll of that. 😕

[@VanillaWiteOut]

Alex Baskin never met a narcissistic (male) sociopath that he didn't bend over backwards to promote. his single minded devotion to Tom Sandoval tanked VPR, now he's on to Jax's apology tour. gross. Also, if anyone believes Jax has really changed, I have a bridge to sell you.

[@lemood6061]

1000%

[@deflectionqueen]

BOOOOOO I don't care if she called you to have drinks you are not a nice person. Also it's hard to believe that you are a good father if you are verbally and emotionally abusive to the mother.

[@tituscallsmemama]

Still working the narcissist checklist I see. Victimhood, trying to embarrass and smear the mother of his child, endless deflection, taking only the most superficial accountability.

[@emineince687]

Stop playing the victim. You have always been this way.

[@dinajacobs535]

I can't wait to hear Brittany's podcast on Friday

[@kaleysorensen]

She wants to see him thrive.. in a responsible way.. he's such a narcissist .. he's always been verbally abusive.. we've watched him be that way for over a decade..

[@pennywilson1915]

Jax is full of crap. I never thought this man had changed. Now that he has the bar and back in the lime light, he didn't need his family. He did want to be the one to leave, so he made Britney miserable, so she would. My opinion.

[@lorrainefitzkee5288]

Jax loves to play the victim!!!

[@dn8467]

She did say you were a good father! Listen, Jax, it's cute when you're young and naive. You're grown up now, and there are no more excuses for your behavior. Everyone's had enough, even the viewers.

[@EmmWar]

While there are some very low yet typical Jax moments in this the jaw dropper for me was him taking a cut of Brittany's bar. That's insane. The business partners are doing Brittany dirty and Jax continues to dig deep to find new levels of low.

[@sadielady2379]

Was Jax in the same dark place as Sandavol? Both blame being in dark places for their shitty behavior.

[@alexandraboos6602]

I don’t believe he’s changed at all. It’s noticeable through the whole segment. He wants to go back to being the creep of every week!

[@kaleysorensen]

This is awful.. why would they allow this.. this is abusive, he's a monster She never wanted her life blown up like he did..

[@kelseywillow8110]

I still remember when she got cosmetic surgery for him and he wanted her to get a bigger size implants. Red flags 🚩 Very controlling.

[@LeeannaAlleyCat]

And there it is, he is so changed but “she called me over”, ppl have a hard time leaving abusive situations and it sometimes takes years, what he’s saying about her contacting him doesnt prove anything dummy

[@FFfgh-p4q]

I’m so triggered I can’t watch this zero accountability

[@catherinefacciolo4657]

Shes to nice to want you to fail. She Loved you

[@ariellewht]

This guy really is pure evil. This is gross hik mentioning his ex wife messaging him to come over for dinner and drinks. Brittney please stop interacting with him. He’s a soul sucker, will never change. He hates her

[@johnnyb4869]

Jason cares about one thing and that is Jason

[@najatm]

I really hope Brittany reflects when she see things like this and ask herself why was I attracted to this man...? He hasn't changed. He's the same guy when he first started on VPR. Brittany needs to take responsibility for choices, look in the mirror, and say I chose this man when the whole world warned me not to, I Brittany chose this man. Out of all of the men on this planet, this is the man I chose. Why?

[@hunterandolive2693]

Did I miss something? Are jax and Schwartz living together???

[@TheOzzyLover]

Man, he is SOOOOO good at manipulating. The first 60seconds he had me AND THEN he kept talking and there’s good ol Jax! He is the SCARIEST type of man and I just hope the 4b movement is in FULL EFFECT everywhere that man goes!

[@gracegallagher3000]

He’s unhinged lol

[@BwInNewJersey]

Brittany can do a million times better than Jax but every girl could.

[@Allia1982]

“I’m a work in progress” never heard that from him before

[@alanabowker1363]

We love you Brittany !

[@kate01141]

Seems like rehab is really helping 😂😂😂

[@CBPz]

Everything he is saying he think Britney thinks, is actually what he thinks of himself, projection!

[@kaleysorensen]

This is actually scary.. he's cherry picked shit from other people's stories to build this wierd Frankenstein monster. I didn't think he would be worse.. after "therapy"..

[@kaleysorensen]

He put pictures of Cruz' room online.. that was so weird..

[@LINLYN81]

Oh no, these poor men… so sad for them that their wives won’t put up with toxic BS. My eyes could not roll any harder. Jax sounds like he does at every reunion. 😂😂 😂

[@classyconversationswithrho344]

He threw her under the bus on the show! And in this interview! He never mans up! I wish healing for them both.

[@LaDonnaShielded-kc7zm]

One of my favorite tv moments is when Bravo aired Tom Sandoval, clocking Jax💥

[@ksmith1728]

“I’m the number one guy” is the greatest vpr scene of all time

[@simonestafford936]

Jax i'm rewatching VPR rn, and you've been the same narcissist from the very beginning. Lying, blaming, gaslighting, all of it. I don't even think that you trust you to change.

[@Smileyson58]

Brittany was always the first person to make excuses and enable Jax they deserve each other

[@LaDonnaShielded-kc7zm]

LVP too.

[@cheffanie1752]

Delulu Jax

[@rishankahsay1602]

She deserves sooooo much better than that devil,

[@sandykreinwoodward8014]

Bwahahah Jax thinks we buy this crap? Bwahahah true entertainment! Poor long suffering Brit 😢

[@AM-gt1yt]

Just wanted to make it crystal clear that when this clip was posted on Instagram Brittany commented and said she has NOT hooked up with him, and asked him to come over for DINNER with their child so that despite having zero parental rights, this POS could be in his kids life. Of course this narcissist took that as "she says come hang out let's hook upppppp." My god. How gross. He really thinks we're dumb enough to believe his lies. I'm glad Brittany corrected the record cause there's people who will believe his absolute DRIVEL. He also tries to say he "filed for divorce" (while in rehab LMAO) to try to pretend he beat her to the punch. Brittany said she's going to be saying the actual truth on the next episode of the podcast. Thank god we don't have to listen to jax's in the mind of a m(narcissistic)an as if HIS mind is anything close to a NORMAL mans! He's soooo mad she moved on with someone better than him. Now he's doing a lil smear campaign, trying to do little digs towards Britney when even before she broke up with Jax she was the one always being honest- like about how she didn't have a stroke and she's grossed out Jax would even say that on house of villains. Idk, I'm team Brittany on this one. Idk how you couldn't be. This dude is SICK.

[@kelseywillow8110]

If I had to deal with verbal abuse for years I would want him to fail. Real talk. No shame. How is he the victim now in all of this? He wanted her to fail for years. Why does he deserve more energy and love?

[@michaelshinners6847]

What happened at the GROCERY store? Did you get groceries?? What's the problem?!?😂😢😢

[@enri66]

I listened to about 2 minutes and then realized I started tuning everything he’s saying out because he’s full of lies 😂 I don’t believe a single word out of his mouth

[@goldenniblings]

Children need both their parents of they grew up with two parents.

[@jessicanacianceno9600]

SHE'S NOT UPSET JAX. SHE'S DONE THERE'S A F****** DIFFERENCE

[@jennyward-collins5203]

“People don’t realise this”. Jason coming clean for us!😮🤥🙄

[@meowaboutit]

Wish the dislike button still worked

[@bethany-bg4cv]

Leave him alone maybe you be kinder

[@dn8467]

Whenever Jax's lips move, he is lying.

[@elsieh4429]

Poor Jax. He’s so abused & treated so wrong. 🙄 He thinks it’s all about him but Brittany is doing it for her son, she couldn’t care less about being around Jax.

[@Ennui83]

Some people are just bad people. Everybody is different. This interview illustrates that Jason Cauchi is just a bad person, who needs a doormat. There is no amount of therapy that will change anything significant about him. Jason is angry that Brittnay left him. He did not make it easy. It made no sense that he a was living in their marital home while she and their son lived in rented accommodations during the separation. I feel bad for Jesse. Michelle seemed to be doing a number on him. Jason Cauchi is a very different person, who had a different marriage.

[@susiegross1853]

A leopard (Jax) never changes its spots (Jax)

[@kelseywillow8110]

“She is hurt and has any right to be.” - that’s all we need to know

[@hawkeyemadi]

His momma not liking him says a lot.

[@qetuoqetuo1409]

What happened between Jax and his mum?

[@sincerehale]

listen i get that therapy takes time to work but the fact that he can put two and two together to recognize that he hurt brittany really bad and was abusive but not understand that it'll take time for her to trust him again is crazy..... her asking him to hook-up, if true, isn't damning to me because it's hard to forget someone who you were MARRIED to and her asking him to hang out with her and cruz as if he's not his father is like ??? i have honestly never liked jax taylor and i think he needs to realize that he has YEARS of hurt to make up for and just because he's been "good" for however long he's been out doesn't negate it! if i were brittany, i wouldn't believe him either

[@hannahf2691]

Please stop giving Brittany’s abuser a platform. He loves it.

[@LifeofPani]

Damn boy, JaaaaLaxxxx 😂😂😂😂😂 nobody believes you 😂😂😂😂😂

[@eisleamebane2906]

There is absolutely nothing for frustrating than putting your all into someone and seeing the good in them just for them to also turn their back against you in the long tun

[@amynord6617]

I have always loved Jax. I sort of grew up in my twenties and thirties watching VPR and adoring it... but this is very mean. She was so loyal.

[@Rosiepoohtargaryen]

Brittany is to blame as well.

[@lorrainefitzkee5288]

Jax loves to put the blame on everyone else. He has to take accountability because its on camera. This guy is in his mid 40s and hasn't changed since vanderpump started!!!

[@kjh-h7162]

He’s never going to change lmaooo, Brittany has been shouting from the roof tops that she’ll always love him and she hopes he’ll change. She’s had his back when he’s treated her like shit- for years and then when she FINALLY gets fed up and starts to tell the world what he does and how he’s been treating her he cries about how she’s not supportive. Lmao

[@somebodysmom818]

we don't believe you, you need more people 😂

[@lisalowe7798]

To little too late Jax. Get on with your life . Men like you don’t change.
