Jax Taylor Slams Lisa Vanderpump as a Useless “Prop” Bringing “Nothing” to the Show 

Jax Taylor believes that Lisa Vanderpump serves as nothing but “a prop” on the Vanderpump Rules cast. 

Jax Taylor didn’t mince words when asked to weigh in on the restauranteur’s role on the show, during an appearance on “The Toast” podcast, on June 9. 

Podcast host, Claudia Oshry, asked the Pump Rules alum — “What’s the point of Lisa on the show anymore?” 

Jax held nothing back, replying — “I think she’s a prop at this point. I don’t mean that in a negative way, but let’s be honest, it wouldn’t change the difference if she wasn’t there. She’s not bringing anything to the show anymore.” 

He noted that while Lisa Vanderpump was initially “very involved” with the group, cast members are “a lot older,” which he believes shifted the dynamic of the show. 

He admitted that the Bravo series is “[Lisa]’s show,” but asserted that her presence at the recently aired reunion was unnecessary. 

“She brought the show, but I really don’t see a reason for her to be at the reunion. I really don’t,” Jax said.

He continued — I mean, just to sit next to Andy … or do they just smirk back and forth. ‘How’s your restaurant doing?’ Like I don’t really know if she really needs to be there.”

“[And] everybody seems to be afraid of her… For what? Well, you own a restaurant. You’re a woman who owns restaurants in West Hollywood,” Jax added. 

He also took issue with people who have told him that he should be “grateful” to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum.

“She doesn’t own the show. She is a producer,” Jax noted. “So it’s really upsetting when people are like ‘You should be so grateful she could let you go.’”

“No, that’s not how it works,” he asserted. ”She got us the audition, or she got us, you know, the sizzle reel, whatever. She got us in the door. We have to make it work.”

He also claimed that Lisa Vanderpump’s job consisted of popping in “once every six episodes to hand out fake paychecks.”

“And then watching the reunion, her chiming in, she’s not even there,” he continued. “These are adults. When we were younger and we were 20 years old, yes. It made a little more sense because she was kind of a mother figure, and she was the boss.”

Jax remains on seemingly friendly terms with Lisa, despite his sharp critique.  

“I saw her at TomTom about two months ago,” he shared. “She’s like, ‘Hey, how, how are you? How this?’ I just think she’s, I don’t want to say too many negative things about Lisa.”  

Jax revealed that he was still entertaining the idea of returning to Vanderpump Rules. 

“We have been talking,” he said of his potential return. “We’re trying to figure it out, what makes sense for my family… [We’re] absolutely excited about the thought of going back, but… have to weigh it out and see if it makes sense.”
