In a shocking turn of events that could tear apart what's left of Jax Taylor’s public image, his own sister Jenny Taylor has come forward with damning allegations about the former Vanderpump Rules and The Valley star — sparking a family war that fans say has been “brewing behind closed doors for years.”
Speaking candidly in a now-viral podcast interview, Jenny described her brother as a man who has “spent his entire life building a façade while systematically breaking down everyone closest to him — including our own family.” But the real bombshell came when she accused Jax of weaponizing therapy sessions against Brittany Cartwright, his estranged wife and co-star, amid their crumbling marriage.
“He didn’t go to therapy to work on himself,” Jenny said flatly. “He went to learn the language of accountability — not the action. And once he had the right phrases, the right tone, the right timing, he used them to gaslight Brittany into believing everything was her fault.”
Sources close to the family say Jenny had been silent for years, choosing to stay out of the limelight despite knowing “far more than she ever let on.” But according to insiders, the recent separation between Jax and Brittany — which played out both on The Valley and across their heavily followed social media platforms — was the final straw.
“Jenny watched her sister-in-law break down in silence for months while Jax spun stories of redemption and ‘trying to be better,’” one longtime friend of the Taylors revealed. “She couldn’t stomach it anymore. She knew it was a performance, and she decided the world needed to hear the other side.”
In her podcast, Jenny painted a picture of Jax that stood in stark contrast to his carefully curated “trying dad” persona. She detailed alleged incidents dating back to their teenage years — including lies to teachers, manipulation of friends, and most alarmingly, how their family “enabled” his behavior for decades.
“My mother loved him fiercely,” Jenny admitted, “and we all did what we could to protect him from consequences — especially after our dad died. But now I see that we didn’t help him. We helped him hurt other people.”
The fallout has been swift. Jax reportedly confronted his sister privately — but not before allegedly instructing his team to issue a cease-and-desist letter demanding she “retract all defamatory comments.” Jenny has not responded publicly, but insiders claim she has already retained legal counsel, preparing for what could become a highly public family defamation battle.
Brittany Cartwright, who has remained relatively quiet since the interview aired, is said to be “deeply shaken” by the allegations but “not surprised.” According to a close friend of the Kentucky-born star, “Brittany always felt something wasn’t right. She just didn’t know Jenny had receipts.”
Meanwhile, Bravo producers are reportedly “closely watching” the situation. One source claimed that execs are debating whether to cut ties with Jax altogether ahead of a potential second season of The Valley, which has already been marred by scandal, including accusations of fat-shaming, bullying, and behind-the-scenes feuds.
“The irony,” another insider noted, “is that Jax always feared betrayal from the outside. But it looks like the real blow came from within.”
As the Taylor family remains in chaos, fans are left wondering how much of Jax’s redemption arc was reality — and how much was just another performance from reality TV’s most infamous antihero.
