The Valley star, Jax Taylor was in a car accident but how did it happen, and is he okay? He has been known to love his classic cars but also tends to throw caution to the wind. In the early seasons of Vanderpump Rules, he talked about having been arrested for driving indiscretions. So, what is the backstory behind this now that he is an adult and has been working hard on himself? Keep reading for all of the details.
Jax Taylor Involved In A Car Accident
This has been an interesting year for Jax Taylor. He and his wife of five years, Brittany Cartwright announced their separation. They did so just weeks before their Vanderpump Rules spinoff, The Valley was set to premiere so many felt it was a publicity stunt. It was not and viewers saw the downfall of their marriage as the show progressed. Longtime Bravo fans were shocked the couple lasted as long as they did. Jax then entered a mental health facility where he was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and PTSD.
Upon exiting, he returned to filming Season 2 of The Valley where he was served with divorce papers on camera. He then moved out of the Valley Village home he and Brittany shared. She had left in January to stay at an Airbnb with their son, Cruz, 3 while Jax remained in the house. Now, it was time for him to leave so he found a cute little spot and seemed to be in a much better place. Sadly, things have taken a turn, according to Monsters & Critics. Jax was just involved in a car accident and it does not look good for him.
Allegedly, Jax Taylor rear-ended another car but fled the scene due to a heated altercation with the other motorist. Michelle West stated her boyfriend was at a red light when his car was hit. He proceeded to chase Jax to a gas station so that they could sort things out. They checked out the damage, exchanged words, and then Jax apparently took off without trading any information.
Jax’s Rep Has His Own Story
While Jax Taylor’s representative is not denying that he was in an accident, he is blaming the other driver for the drama:
“The driver immediately stepped out of his vehicle, enraged, which caused an unpleasant interaction between both parties.”
Since Jax saw no damage, he left the scene. His rep’s statement continued to add this:
“Since this altercation, Jax has filed a claim with his insurance company to investigate further into the details and will follow the recommendations provided by his insurance company.”
Meanwhile, the driver and his girlfriend claim they have photos of the damage and Jax’s license plate number. The following day after the accident, Jax was spotted on a scooter which fans thought was interesting.
Some laughed because he appeared to almost knock into a pedestrian. It is not a good time for him at all so followers had to laugh:
- Called the paps & looks like an uncoordinated child riding home. So Jax.
- Just walk at this point. Or Uber.
