Bravo star Jax Taylor has opened up about his addictions to cocaine and to alcohol, and says he developed an addiction despite not liking the taste of alcohol or the feel of snorting powder.
“Trauma and mental health issues are the drive for addiction, and I think that’s 100% [true] for me. I do not like the taste of alcohol. I do not like snorting f–king s–t up my nose. It’s not fun. It doesn’t taste good. It doesn’t feel good. But these things make me feel better in the moment, so I don’t have to think about my marriage. So I don’t have to think about the trauma … I don’t think about my father,” The Valley star said on his In The Mind Of Jax Taylor podcast.
He continued, “Like I said, I don’t like doing it. I hate the taste of alcohol. I hate f–king my nose burning, sneezing, and not being able to breathe. It sucked but this is the only thing I could do to make me feel good.”
Viewers say Taylor enters and leaves rehab in the second season of The Valley, but Taylor admits that he quickly fell off the wagon. After fans expressed concern about his unhinged behavior towards his ex-wife, Brittany Cartwright, the former Vanderpump Rules star agreed to step away from the show and not film with the cast for the upcoming third season.
