“She waited for the perfect moment to stab me in the back” – Jax Taylor lashes out in leaked group chat after Reddit boycott explodes, calling Kristen Doute “a fake feminist” as Bravo faces backlash over ‘zero tolerance’ hypocrisy - suong

The drama surrounding The Valley continues to escalate as Jax Taylor — no stranger to controversy — allegedly exploded in a private group chat with fellow cast members after a Reddit-led boycott against him went viral. According to sources close to the cast, Jax sent a flurry of angry messages directly targeting Kristen Doute, a former close friend and now co-star on the show.

It all began when Kristen publicly agreed with a fan comment on Instagram condemning Bravo for continuing to feature Jax Taylor on Watch What Happens Live (WWHL), despite growing backlash over his emotionally abusive and controlling behavior toward ex-wife Brittany Cartwright, which has been showcased in multiple episodes of The Valley. While some viewers continue to debate whether Jax’s behavior warrants cancellation, the protest has only gained momentum — particularly on Reddit, where a post calling for a viewer blackout of Jax’s June 17 WWHL appearance quickly gained traction.

Sources say Jax “completely lost it” in a private group chat — reportedly including Kristen, Brittany, Luke, and some production staff — and sent a series of furious messages calling Kristen a “hypocrite,” a “feminist when it’s convenient,” and allegedly even “a fake feminist.” The language was reportedly so intense that even Bravo insiders took note.

“Jax feels completely betrayed. He believes Kristen is using the situation to paint herself as some kind of ‘woke feminist heroine,’ when in the past she used to laugh at his jokes and never called him out,” said one production insider. “He said flat-out that she waited for the perfect moment to stab him in the back.”

According to the same source, Brittany — Jax’s ex-wife — was reportedly “stunned” as she read through the messages. She did not respond, only leaving the group chat for several hours afterward. Friends say Brittany feels “caught in the middle” and “doesn’t want to publicly pick a side but can no longer defend Jax behind closed doors.”

Kristen has not issued a public response to Jax’s outburst, but insiders say she “doesn’t regret speaking up” and believes she had “a responsibility to say something when someone she cares about is being hurt” — referring to Brittany. A friend of Kristen’s added, “She’s not doing this for clout. She genuinely believes it’s time someone within the cast took a stand.”

Meanwhile, Bravo has remained silent despite mounting pressure to cut ties with Jax across platforms, including WWHL and The Valley. Viewers are now questioning the network’s previously declared “zero tolerance” policy. Hashtags like #BravoZeroTolerance and #ProtectBrittany are spreading rapidly across Twitter and TikTok, with thousands of shares per hour.

The public is now divided: one side praises Kristen for calling Jax out and demands his removal, while the other accuses her of hypocrisy and claims this is just “Bravo drama as usual.”

But if the group chat messages are real — and Bravo continues to stay silent — this scandal may evolve from an off-camera feud into one of the network’s most serious ethical reckonings since the Tom Sandoval affair.

Would you like me to expand this further with fallout for Kristen, Brittany, or the Bravo brand?
