Jax Taylor Reveals He's Regularly Drug Tested as He Gives Update on His Sobriety: 'I Want to Be Held Accountable'

Jax Taylor is over 200 days sober.

The 45-year-old spoke candidly about his life and his recovery on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Tuesday, June 17, as host Andy Cohen grilled him about his sobriety and how he's maintaining it.

Taylor also revealed how his ex-wife, Brittany Cartwright, who filed for divorce after a six-month separation when he got out of rehab in August, plays a role in his ongoing sobriety.

Taylor shared that he is "201 days sober" and revealed he is regularly drug tested to maintain his commitment to sobriety.

After sharing that he is over 200 days sober — ever since he exited rehab in August — Taylor was asked by Cohen how his sobriety can be trusted.

"I have my therapist [drug test me] when I go into therapy, it was kind of the deal," The Valley star said. "I don’t have to do that legally, but I said, you know what, I want to be held accountable."

Cartwright, 36, also has access to drug tests to keep Taylor on track. "Brittany has drug tests at the house [so she] can drug test me anytime you want."

Taylor revealed his addiction issues, which he said he'd had "on and off since I was 23," on a March podcast episode. He said at the time he didn't "necessarily think I have an alcohol problem," but that his substance issues, which were primarily with cocaine, went "hand in hand" with drinking.

The Vanderpump Rules alum said that staying sober is not his biggest problem right now.

After sharing the he's regularly drug tested, Taylor told Cohen, "To be honest with you, right now, that isn't my issue."

He said that instead, he has "a lot of other issues that I've gotta deal with" that feel like a bigger priority right now.

Among those are his "ego, my anger, my control, my manipulation," he said.

Taylor also took the chance to issue a public apology to fans of The Valley and his ex-wife for his behavior, which he's "utterly embarrassed" of.

At the start of his interview on the show, Taylor told audience members and Bravo fans, "I want to apologize to everybody who’s watching this right now."

"It’s just, the stuff that was shown [on season 2 of The Valley] is pretty triggering to a lot of people and you know I’m watching it back, I watch the episodes now, which is a first. You watch it back and it’s just, like, I’m utterly embarrassed of my actions."

He continued, "Nobody should ever have to deal with the way I acted, nobody should ever have to deal with, you know, verbal abuse from anybody ... I’m really sorry that people had to see all that."

Season 2 of The Valley can be streamed on Peacock.
