It only took Jax Taylor years but he finally admitted that he is a narcissist!
The 45-year-old reality star entered an in-patient facility for 30 days over the summer, where he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. While in the treatment program, he learned a lot about himself — including behavior he had “no idea” he would do.
During a solo episode of his and his estranged wife Brittany Cartwright’s When Reality Hits podcast on Friday, Jax answered a bunch of questions about his stay at the mental health facility such as whether he now considered himself a narcissist. His response? The Valley star bluntly and shockingly replied — “Yes.” He said:
“I’m going to be honest with this. Yes, I do agree. I’ve literally learned probably five new terms that I’ve never heard before that. I’m probably going to get in trouble for saying this, but I do all of them. I’ve done them all for years and I had no idea. I am a narcissist, yes. I breadcrumb, I love bomb [and also] gaslighting. I’m missing some but I do all these things. I had no idea there were terms for these things.”

Really? These terms are nothing new! He continued:
“I look up the definition for all these new terms and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I do that. I do that too.’ I don’t even know how to talk anymore without being labeled as one of these things. So yes, I have to humble myself and say, ‘Do you think you’re a narcissist?’ And I do. I don’t know how I became one. [But] I do believe I’m a narcissist.”
We are surprised Jax just came to this realization. We mean, people have been calling him a narcissist since he starred in Vanderpump Rules! But perhaps even though he heard this over and over, the television personality is just ready to admit it to himself now. That said, Jax noted he labeled himself as a narcissist without consulting a medical professional:
“I am not a doctor, so I can’t say that for sure. But by just looking up the definition, I have to agree. I have to agree with people calling me a narcissist. I can’t fight them on that because I do have pretty much everything that’s labeled under a narcissist. And I’ve been this person for years and I had no idea. I was never held accountable for my actions for many years until recently — until people have had enough.”
And by “people have had enough,” he mainly means Brittany. Months after their separation announcement, the 35-year-old finally filed for divorce from Jax in late August after five years of marriage. She seemingly gave up on waiting for her estranged husband to make changes and work on their marriage. And it looks like Jax realized some things about his life a little too late. Oof.
