JAX Taylor’s fate on The Valley has been revealed after fans demanded that the ‘dangerous’ star ‘must be fired’ over his problematic behavior.
The Vanderpump Rules alum has had a tough season on the Bravo spinoff as he goes through a nasty divorce from wife Brittany Cartwright and gets treatment in rehab for cocaine addiction.
While many fans assumed Jax’s behavior would become healthier when he was in the treatment facility, Bravo cameras showed him continuing to spiral.
At one point while filming a scene with Brittany, 36, this season, Jax, 45, texted producers from inside the rehab center and admitted to spying on his ex through in-house cameras and recording devices.
Due to his problematic behavior, fans have called for the TV villain to be fired; however, a source has told The U.S. Sun that he won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
"The fallout has been worse than [Jax] thought. I think he thought that if he prefaced this season by warning everyone his behavior was bad, he thought it would all be swept under the rug.
“That's not the case. The cries to get him fired have been louder than he was prepared for.
“It's been a blow to his podcast, it's impacted other business ventures he had in the works.
“Bravo hears the outrage loud and clear but there have been no talks to fire him yet,” the insider claimed.
They added: “Quite frankly, it would be a different show without Jax so producers are trying to figure out what the future of the show looks like and what's best for everyone.
“Getting rid of Jax completely is not yet something they're willing to do," though the source maintained that "it's not completely out of question for the future either."
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Jax’s rep for comment.
Earlier this season on The Valley, while Jax was already checked into a treatment facility, Brittany was discussing her relationship struggles while the camera crew was present.
In the middle of taping the scene, a producer got a text message from Jax, who showed the phone to Brittany.
“Make sure you get that on film. I can hear everything. Childish behavior,” the message read.
Startled by the revelation he could hear what she was saying, as she didn’t realize she was being listened in on, Brittany in a panic cried to a producer: “He can’t hear. You can’t hear anything.
"Do you think that he put a bug in here? How does he know I’m here?”
In a confessional, she added: “Unless he put some little secret devices around this house, our interior cameras don’t have sound.
“But, we are speaking about Jax Taylor here. I don’t put anything past him anymore.”
The Kentucky native then got up and placed stickers and paper over the camera lenses.
At the beginning of the season, Jax also recalled a time when he was so furious with Brittany, he threw furniture inside their home while their son Cruz, 4, was in the next room.
Brittany claimed the force of his throw made the table hit her, turning her knee "black and blue."
Jax's behavior during this season has been worrying enough for fans demanding Bravo that he's a "danger" and need to be axed.
"I'm all for reality trash TV but the situation with Jax shouldn't be in that category. He's stalking his own family with hidden cameras, he's clearly unwell and the guy is promoting his bar IN REHAB and Bravo is letting him. It's uncomfortable to watch," one viewer wrote.
"Brittany & Jax are rapidly turning from toxic marriage to Dateline special in the making. At what point does Bravo intervene and say this isn’t entertainment anymore, it’s actually a dangerous situation?" an X user asked.
"Why hasn't Jax already been fired from Bravo? This is uncomfortable to watch," another begged the question.
"Can we fire Jax? He’s such a dark cloud on this amazing season," another begged.
While Jax's spot on the show appears to be safe for now, other business ventures took a hit - including his podcast tour getting canceled.
