Jax Taylor failed – yet again – to take accountability for why his friendship with Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark ended.
On his podcast, In the Mind of A Man, Jax low-key blamed Beau’s friend for Jax not communicating that he and his now-estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, weren’t going to their wedding in Italy.
Jax is convinced that’s why his former Vanderpump Rules co-stars didn’t want to join the The Valley.
The ones who got away:
“There’s one couple … I tried and tried and tried and I just can’t get them on [The Valley] … Stassi and Beau.”
“I wish I could weather that frickin storm. It’s the one that’s hanging over my head. I tried and I tried to reach out. I understand they’re upset with me … this wedding situation.”
The Blame Game begins:
“I think because I said I was going to go” to the wedding and I didn’t, explained Jax.
“It was in the middle of Covid. There are a couple reasons we couldn’t go to Italy. One of the main reasons is Cruz didn’t have a passport. We were trying to get one expedited during Covid – everyone and their brother was trying to get a passport expedited at that time and we thought it was going to come in [within] a week or two. We didn’t get that, so Cruz couldn’t go.”
Since Cruz couldn’t go, he suggested Brittany and her mom go to Stassi and Beau’s wedding while he stayed home with Cruz. But, “Brittany’s mom’s best friend’s husband passed away. [So,] It just wasn’t in the cards. Breaking down the price”($23k, per Jax) … “we just can’t make this work,” concluded the former VPR personality.
Beau’s bestie was dragged into Jax’s blame game:
In true Jax fashion, he didn’t have an open, honest conversation with his ‘friends.’ Instead, he told Beau’s best friend, Rob, that his family wasn’t going to the wedding. Rob told him to contact Beau about it right away.
Instead of telling Beau right away, Jax continued to stall. So, Rob told Beau that Jax, Brittany, and Cruz weren’t attending the wedding so he and Stassi could plan their international wedding accordingly.
Jax snapped, “It didn’t come out of my mouth, so I don’t know how it was worded. Beau and Stassi got really upset with me. We apologized and sent them money. It was just really unfortunate how it all turned out.”
Is Jax taking accountability?
You be the judge …
Jax declared, “It was all my fault. We should have gotten the passport sooner. But, that’s just the way life is. It just wasn’t meant to be. That’s the whole reason I haven’t spoken to them. I’ve reached out multiple times.”
Jax explained how they exchange pleasantries when they run into each other, but Stassi and Beau have declined invitations to hang out at Jax’s Studio City.
“I want to reach out [to Beau], but I’m just scared. He doesn’t want to see me. It just sucks. We are getting older. I’m not scared to say, ‘Hey. I miss you so much.'”
ICYMI, Stassi and Beau commented about their friendship fallout with Jax. They’ve maintained Jax was ‘talking sh*t‘ about the couple ahead of their wedding.
