Jax Taylor Leaves The Valley Before Season 3

Jax Taylor has announced he is stepping away from Bravo's reality series The Valley ahead of Season 3 to focus on his sobriety, mental health, and co-parenting with his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright. His decision follows a period marked by public struggles with addiction, a recent rehab stint, and Cartwright's filing for divorce after accusing him of substance abuse. Season 2 depicted Taylor's challenges, including violent incidents and confrontations at home. The show's producers emphasized their intent to portray both Taylor's and Cartwright's experiences transparently. Bravo has not commented on his exit, but Season 3 is expected to address these recent developments. Taylor's departure is widely seen as a proactive step for his recovery and for prioritizing his role as a father.
