In a resurfaced cameo video, Jax Taylor accused Tom Sandoval of being a “little boy” who needs to “go to rehab” and “reevaluate his life.” The video was taken two years ago, at the height of Scandoval—the controversy surrounding Tom’s affair with castmate Rachel Leviss.
At the time, Vanderpump Rules fans were coming for anyone associated with Tom. His best friend and business partner Tom Schwartz was one of the biggest targets because he refused to throw Sandoval under the bus.
Recently, Jax opened up about going to rehab for a cocaine addiction. On the new season of The Valley, Jax is now getting heat from fans for his controversial behavior toward estranged wife Brittany Cartwright. Part of the season was filmed before Jax went to rehab.
A TikTok user recently shared a 2-year-old cameo video of Jax during Scandoval. The user explained that they were “sitting on this” video for two years, and they “did not mention a single word about Scandoval/Tom/Ariana in the Cameo instructions to him.” The user said they only asked Jax to discuss James Kennedy.
“I wish I could drag James Kennedy a little bit,” said Jax, “but I’m not gonna lie. I’m starting to like the guy. We’ve gotten closer a little bit over the past six months. He’s not that bad of a guy. He’s basically me when I was that age, and I can’t blame him for that. He’s just having fun, doing his thing, being single, making money, being a DJ — and that’s all you can ask for… I really can’t hate on him because I did a lot worse when I was his age.”
Jax then transitioned to Tom, claiming he’s “a guy that needs a little bit of guidance.”
“I don’t want to drag him too much because I think the whole world is already dragging him,” said Jax, “but he is who he is. I’ve been down that path that he’s been on. The difference, I like to say, is his lack of empathy. It bothers me. And the way he’s gone about this. And the way he’s treating his friend Tom Schwartz. I think that is the biggest problem I have.”
Jax claimed he now gets along with Ariana “more than ever,” and he shaded Sandoval for “dragging” Schwartz “into a mess” and “not taking ownership and responsibility and owning up as a man.”
“That’s the big key there,” he continued. “He’s not a man. He’s a little boy. I don’t even think he’s that. I don’t think he even knows what he is, to be honest. I just think he’s got a lot of problems and he needs to go to a rehab or some kind of facility and reevaluate his life a little bit because what he did is not cool.”
“The whole world’s talking about it,” said Jax. “I’m f—— tired of talking about it. I could care less anymore. I know what’s real and what’s not. Hopefully we can all move on from this.”
@meggsandpancakes ETA: Pls note that I did not mention a single word about Scandoval/Tom/Ariana on the Cameo instructions to him. I actually asked him to talk about James 😭 Got this cameo for my fiancé right after Scandoval happened and it cracks me up every time #scandoval #bravotv @Cameo
In the past year, Jax indicated that he and Sandoval are now in a better place.
