Jax Taylor Confirms Near-BRAWL at ‘Pump Rules’ Reunion (Exclusive)

“Vanderpump Rules” alums Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright stepped out at the iHeartRadio Awards 2023. They told “Extra’s” Melvin Robert what they’ve heard about the “Pump Rules” reunion taping, and Jax confirmed reports that a fight nearly broke out between two cast members! The pair also spoke about their new podcast “When Reality Hits.”

Hell yeah he is & so would any normal human being Sandoval came for Jax every chance he got, he always acted like he was a saint that would do anything for anybody Little did the world know that Miami girl & all the others were actually true I honestly don’t think Sandoval realises just how much he’s gonna lose & all for what a young piece of ass with no brain

[@nurseprac.nikki513]

I hope the podcast does great. Despite all the bs in the past, I wish nothing but good things for these two.

[@susandoyle1670]

Brittany with the constant laughing. At nothing too !! Can’t take her serious. It’s annoying. So many people saying the same.

[@deniseouillette6995]

OMG This is hilarious!! The ONLY reason Jax came clean of cheating because he got caught!!! If he never got caught he would still be cheating or probably still is// this is all so gross.

[@BKNYC89]

The only major difference is, Jax always knew what kind of person he was. He never shied away from the labels or finger pointing. He is no saint that's for sure, but at least we all knew who he was/is. Tom on the other hand, made us think that he was a good guy for 10 years. It takes a special kind of narcissist to accomplish that.

[@suzywongg2716]

When you see Jax with his kids, you can see how much growth in him and his behaviours. He was a young man enjoying himself. To.me.he seems so much more mature, I like him

[@deirdresouza2769]

Agree !Jax knew who he was ,tried to hide things he did but when he knew he was caught he came clean , Tom on the other hand will deny till the end! I actually think Jax has improved, I think he knows his limits, like he said don’t tell me a secret “ I will tell someone “ 😂😂 I think Jax’s dad passing had a big influence on him. To be a good man like his Dad and to make his father proud! He is lucky that Britney loves him , and I truly hope that everything works out for them and they have many years of love and happiness!

[@darrenkellman5780]

I think jax matured alot since then and realized Brittany is great for him

[@deniseouillette6995]

still gross though.

[@thekimcat4259]

It’s insane n kinda amazing thinking how normal and calm his life is now so hypocritical of Sandoval to treat him like he’s this awful cheater every scene he got in past seasons

[@patriciajones6771]

That's why you do not judge, I always say there is a sense of humor in it all, when you stand on so called pulpits pointing fingers , Sooner or later you do a piece of SH*T, and you are guilty of the same thing you were judging ,you never know, today for me, tomorrow for you.THATS LIFE.

[@clarakirkendoll6061]

I think the two boys are James and Schwartz. In an upcoming episode, James is going to throw a drink in Schwartz face. I think it's going to carry over to the reunion.

[@Darima2]

I have a feeling Sandoval and James may almost fight, it's a double betrayal because Sandoval was like a big brother to James and took him under his wing. But Raquel has been so disappointing, she's the type who will do anything to get a man, have a man, keep a man. Lala was almost prophetic when she told her she wouldn't want her around her man when drunk but really its even when she's sober, it's all a competition to that insecure type. Jax and Britney are loving the renewed attention they're getting cause without the show, who cares about them?

[@Mindyobusiness89]

I heard Tom Schwartz fights James. I do agree about Raquel , but I think she should have gone with Schwartz, instead of Sandoval, cause Raquel is supposed to be great friends with Ariana. Wait what am I talking about, it’s all fake lol

[@AMYV3]

I’m thinking the same thing tom and James. But I don’t know how close Jax is to James. It sounds like the one he talked too I someone who he communicates with. The other Tom. So James then Tom. Only reason I can think Tom would be loosing money from bar. But he is such a butt kisser that would be odd lol lol

[@edithsmith4131]

My Brother was Jax 2.O in his younger years. He looks like Charlie Sheen but he aged better. He’s Firefighter/Paramedic. He’s been with the same lady/nurse for many years. They recently lost a Daughter. My Brother is a local hero and has saved many lives. Jax couldn’t hold a candle to my brother and his ways. All the women loved him and he loved them all back. He was a little boy, treated people like toys and never showed concern. Then he became a Man, he looked at the boy he was and held his head in shame. It’s absolutely possible to change your ways and not mind doing it. Life alters itself and I Hope Jax and Brittany have a great time!

Tom really thinks he can avoid ANY consequence and get everything he wants because he can and does.

Jax only had one night stands, that was his cheating style , not long relationships while he was still with his partner.

Tom in the whole sow acted like he was so against cheating when he done all the cheating! When you cheat you cheat with someone better not below.

[@deedeelee3311]

Which two boys? Tom & Tom? Or Tom Sandoval & James?

[@saramarshall2957]

I'm thinking it might be Tom Schwartz and James. Because I don't think he talks to Sandoval and I don't think he talks to James so he would have heard it from Schwartz but I don't see the two Tom's fighting. Definitely involves Schwartz

[@nancydoo7749]

Thirsty Jax and Brit....but I think people are missing something -- I think Schwartz is going to be collateral damage in all this as up until now, he's always been the sweet as pie puppy dog eyes, loyal friend and now he's the guy who hid all the secrets of this affair. I think fans are going to react differently to Schwartz in the future.

[@shamswt]

I wonder if Brittney thought she was too good for lying, thieving, cheating, narcissistic Jax.

[@silverlining9120]

​. I agree we don't need to bash Jax just to bash him for who he was. Jax losing his dad was a wake-up call. Brittney was there for him and he realized what he had and what he wanted and didn't want to lose her. He's a lot older now, is married, and has a child. I mean look at this woman, she's stunning, sweet, a good mom, and just the whole package.

[@shamswt]

Jax is still a liar. “Yeah I heard that. I don’t know what I’m about to say. I have a feeling it’s the two boys.” Shut up Jax. You would think he’s a decent person.

[@jenniferanngarcia2496]

I can't agree with you more, Jax! You took the words right out of my mouth about two weeks ago.😂 Especially about the nail polish...😅 Let's not forget about the makeup and eyeliner.

Less nail polish, more manhood... Classic 😂😂

[@missld6856]

2 boys meaning the toms? Is that how everyone else interpreted that? Probly right? 🤔 But can’t picture Schwartz doing that at all. James yes and Sandoval more so. Thoughts?

[@Fightbot01]

Sounded like Tom and Tom to me too. I was already thinking Schwartz because he’s the only person on the cast that would be truly “unexpected” to get in a physical altercation. I could see it happening, Sandoval put Schwartz in a reaaalllyyy bad position with all this so if Schwartz was ever going to snap I think this would be the time.

I stopped watching when stassi, Kristen & jax left! But then I caught up with the #scandoval & I got to notice… the affair… has been going on since SEASON 9… before James proposed! 🫢🤮🫣 It’s so blatantly obvious it’ll make you angry & sick at the same time!!!

[@Fightbot01]

Yep… I think maybe even as far back as when Jax got caught cheating on Brittany with Faith. Sandoval was oddly defensive of Jax and was lashing out at Ariana for telling Britney about the recording which I always thought was so weird. It was a stark contrast to the moral superiority Sandoval usually flexed around Jax &cast and it was misdirected anger at Ariana which made me think they weren’t in a good place in their relationship at all. Sandoval also started talking about never having sex with Ariana around that time and even said to her brother “could she even be mad at me if I was to cheat”

[@susandoyle1670]

No it was not before James proposed.

[@susandoyle1670]

No. Not before. After they broke up.

[@Fightbot01]

@@susandoyle1670 I think Tom had slept with Raquel before James proposed and that’s why Tom paid for the proposal. It was essentially hush money, giving Raquel a story line so she wouldn’t blow up his spot and make it known he had cheated. As time went on I think they kept hooking up until it became a full blown affair and Tom no longer had feelings for Ariana, just shared property he didn’t want to lose. That’s my theory.
