The Valley star Jax Taylor opened up about his decision to exit the show, and despite apologizing for his actions in front of the Bravo cameras, he says he was used as a “shield” by other cast members.
“I wish I would have handled things a little differently. I just got a little frustrated on certain things because I felt like people were turning their heads on certain cast members and kind of focusing all on me. And I feel like certain past members were pulling the wool, I guess, pulled the wool over your eyes on certain things,” he said.
He continued, “I took it out on the wrong people, and I apologize for that. I feel like sometimes they use me as a shield. They kind of, you know, and they use me as a scapegoat, you know, just put the blame on me sometimes for things that I can’t even control.”
Jax announced that his walking away from the show would only be temporary, but the decision did come after fans called on Bravo to fire the former bar-owner for his aggressive behavior on set.
“I should have just kind of kept my mouth shut and tucked my tail between my legs and walked away. So again, I apologize to everybody who watched the show,” he added.
