Jax Taylor Says Nobody Checks In On Him Amid Personal Struggles
On the latest episode of "The Valley," Jax Taylor admitted nobody checks in on him. He also said he would "k-ll to be happy."
On the latest episode of Bravo's "The Valley," before Jax Taylor checked himself into a rehab facility for his cocaine addiction, the reality star got vulnerable about the relationships in his life.
While speaking with Kristen Doute about his son, Cruz, and the issues he was facing with his then-wife, Brittany Cartwright, Jax Taylor admitted nobody in their social circle called to check in on him, which had a serious impact on his well-being.

Jax Taylor Wants To Be Happy, TooIn episode 2 of "The Valley," titled "Checking In," Taylor spoke with Doute about the explosive argument he had with Cartwright earlier during filming.
"I'm a mess," he admitted, to which Doute agreed. However, the latter came armed with advice and positive words, reminding the "House of Villains" star that he had every right to be upset about the challenges he was facing in his life.
"You can be pissed, scared, f-cking angry, but that doesn't mean you have to do something about it," she said, referring to his earlier revelation that he threw furniture toward Cartwright after discovering she hooked up with their friend while they were separated.

Jax Taylor Said He Would 'K-ll' To Be In A Good Mental SpaceLater, Taylor revealed he had been struggling with negative feelings.
"I haven't been happy in ... The last time I was happy was before my son was born," he said.
"Don't you want to be?" Doute asked, to which Taylor replied, "I would k-ll to be happy. I hate waking up miserable."
Then, as the conversation shifted toward Taylor's behavior, which Cartwright claimed involved screaming and cursing, Doute told him that it was having a negative impact on the mother of his kid.
"What about me?" he responded. "Nobody checks in on me ... I just don't feel like [Cartwright] cares about me."

For those who weren't keeping up with Taylor during the off-season, his conversation with Doute wasn't the first time he spoke candidly about issues in his life.
In March 2025, a month before the season 2 premiere of "The Valley," Taylor opened up about his decades-long addiction to cocaine.
âI have substance issuesâprimarily with cocaine. Itâs hard to say out loud," he said before admitting he's struggled with this battle "since I was 23 and now I'm 45."
The reality star continued: "There [were] times where I would stop doing it, but then there were times where I'd go heavy on it."
In later interviews, Taylor celebrated over 130 days of sobriety and praised his son as the main reason he decided to seek help.

However, according to Cartwright, she doesn't believe their child had anything to do with him checking into a treatment center.
âI think if his job wasnât on the line, he wouldnât have went [to rehab],â she said.
âOn the show, heâs like, âIâm going to miss out on a lot of things.â Then, he says, âGoing to miss out on Cruz.â I feel like he knew that he was going to miss out [on] 30 days of not filming 'The Valley' with us," she continued.

Taylor Says He's Not The Same Person He Was A Year AgoOn his podcast, "In The Mind Of A Man," Taylor acknowledged that the first several episodes of "The Valley" will be hard for viewers to digest. In fact, it was a challenge for him to watch, too. However, he wants the fans to have an open mind, especially considering he's not in the same place he was when the show was in production.
"I was calling the producers. I'm like, 'Should I watch this? Should I watch this?' Then I'm like, 'I don't wanna watch this.' They're like, 'Jax, listen. It was a year ago. The show was shot a year ago," Taylor revealed.
Taylor Felt 'Utter Disgust' Watching Himself On TVHowever, when he watched the series premiere when it hit Bravo on April 15, 2025, the father of one had an emotional breakdown.
"I sat in the corner and I cried my eyes out. I was so disgusted about what I saw, about that shell of a human being that I was looking at, about how I acted," he said.
"It was just utter disgust. And, you know, I looked at it like, 'Wow. I'm glad I watched this because I never wanna be that person again.'"
