Jax Taylor Recently admitted that he obtained the “Ick” while looking at himself in season 2 of Bravo’s “The valley. “”

During an episode of his podcast, Jax Taylor told his former co-star of “Vanderpump Rules”, Tom SchwartzThat he didn’t want to watch the new season. However, he changed his mind after thinking about it, and that made the bad star of the rather emotional reality.

“I looked at him. I sat in the area and I cried my eyes. I was so disgusted with what I saw, about this shell of a human being that I was looking at, on the way I acted,” Taylor, 45 told Schwartz on his podcast, “In the mind of a man. “”

“It was just an absolute disgust. And, you know, I looked at him like,” Wow. I’m glad I looked at this because I never want to be that person “”, he said.

Taylor continued by saying that he had initially planned to jump the next share of episodes; However, after being encouraged by the producers of the show, he changed his mind.

“I called the producers. I said to myself:” Do I have to look at this? Do I have to look at this? “So I say to myself:” I don’t want to look at that. “They are like, ‘Jaxlisten. It was a year ago. The show was shot a year ago, “Taylor revealed.

He explained that because he and the production team felt that he was in a “different place” of what he was when they shot season 2, they agreed that he should try the show.

Schwartz responded to Taylor’s comments and apparently suggested that he was proud of the progress of his co-star.

“Wow. It’s good, Jax. So you show growth,” he said. “And I will say, just for the public, it is significant that Jax watched an episode because I don’t think he watched an episode of” Vanderpump Rules “in the history of the series.”

Later, during their conversation, Taylor and Schwartz began to discuss the old -fashioned sobriety trip. (In March 2025, Taylor shared that he was addicted to cocaine for two decades before continuing sobriety.)

According to the star of “House of Villains”, nothing is lacking in her old life. In fact, seeing herself on television a year ago made him achieve this even more.

“I don’t miss anything,” he said. “As I said, I looked at the back episode. I just look in sweat, and my eyes are curved, and I am out of shape … I just gave myself the Ick … I looked disgusting. I was like 180 pounds. I just look disgusting.”

Taylor added that he never wanted to go back to his old self, especially now that he knows what toxins like alcohol can do to his body.

Before the premiere of season 2, Taylor warned Bravo viewers That his behavior in the coming episodes of the series will be “really, really bad”.

“The last thing in the world I want right now is that you see what happened to me last year,” he said. “But I have to look at the silver lining, you know? I hope to help someone who goes through what I go through. I think the mental health of men is sort of looking. I want to share my story.”

Taylor admitted his personal problems, including his bipolar disorder and his difficulties in dependence, caused part of his bad behavior. He even described his life at the time as a “background of the rocks”.
