Speaking to People in a jaw-dropping interview that’s already ricocheting across Bravo fandom, the Superbad and Neighbors star dismissed any notion of a Jax redemption arc, declaring flatly: “I don’t think Jax should come back at this point. He’s a pretty, maybe, just bad person.”
Rogen, 42, went on to torch Taylor’s two-decade reign of reality TV chaos, saying, “We can say that he’s been that way for 20 years on television or however long it’s been — he doesn’t seem like he’s going to change. He seems no better. Maybe he seems worse the older he gets, I think, in a lot of ways.”
The comedy icon even revealed he’d gotten a sneak peek at the first episode of The Valley reunion earlier in the day — and what he saw left him seething.
“I did watch the first episode of the reunion already this morning, and, I mean, he was so fed up,” Rogen said. “What a fing a**hole. Yeah, a very bad, bad, bad character.”
The blunt assessment has landed like a grenade in the Bravoverse, where Jax, 44, is no stranger to criticism — but rarely from A-list celebrities with global fanbases.
Rogen’s choice of words — especially his damning “very bad, bad, bad character” refrain — has only amplified calls from some fans for Bravo to finally cut ties with Taylor, whose off-screen antics have been as combustible as his on-camera confrontations.
Taylor, for his part, has yet to respond publicly to Rogen’s broadside, but insiders tell DailyMail+ the Bravo veteran is “privately fuming” and sees the comments as “a personal attack designed to humiliate him during a vulnerable moment.”
Whether or not the network will heed Rogen’s advice remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: in a reality TV landscape built on shade, betrayal, and clapbacks, Seth Rogen may have just delivered one of the most savage celebrity reads Jax Taylor has ever faced.
And in the world of The Valley, where reputations are currency, Rogen’s words might just be the most expensive insult of all.
