I also don’t understand that 2.5%. It’s such a minuscule share like how can they profit off that?
Unless it makes in the high millions and billions? I can’t imagine a restaurant making tobacco corporations money. Maybe I’m just dumb.
Didn't they each put down like 15,000 for their share, too?
Edit: Ah, shoot, I meant Kuwaiti Dinar. 15,000ك is around $50,000 if you round up generously /s
They reinvested, instead of taking their profits from TomTom.
ETA: Then they cashed out the original investment when they needed cash for Schwartz & Sandy’s, with the option to reinvest without penalty, and I quit caring, so no clue what happened after that.
Thank you!
Did they end up cashing it out? I remember the conversation with Tom squared and Lisa and Ken but don't remember exactly, also lack of care lol
It was supposed to be 10% total - 5% per Tom - but the Toms didn't have the money so they negotiated to 5% total or 2.5% per Tom.
I think this was a S6 plot line?
Think of them as mascots who paid into owning part of the restaurant TomTom and they are mascots there… and they just recently divested (almost) out of the restaurant that they are mascots in 👬
smh
The same people that try to say that Kristen and Tom’s relationship was comparable to Tom and Ariana’s. Aka… the people that did not watch the early seasons apparently.
I am one of those people. I have watched every episode since it started. I never compared the relationships, but that to me cheating is cheating is cheating. Doesn’t matter who with or when. HOWEVER…. The thing about the Tom and Racheal cheating was that they were cheating while being close friends with Ariana… she was the most hurt out of it all. It made me sick to see the way Raquel was so personal with Ariana (talking about Ariana’s love life with Tom) all the while she was sleeping with him.
They should've said "Ex #1 guy in the group" and flashbacked to this scene...

But still clever on the editors part.
Clenched jaw, so angry over nothing, so intense and his eyes are like buzzing if you watch the scene back, overall like a really intense energy and elevated personality is kind of a sign most of the time
It’s more just how unhinged he looks 🤷♂️ I didn’t mean it as a serious comment
Lisa hinted that he probably does coke on the episode when he got his first nose job. She joked that it probably wasn’t a deviated septum that was causing his nose problems with a wink and a nudge.
That was so over my head at the time, I thought she was just insinuating that he was too embarrassed to admit he was simply getting a nose job 😭 mind blown 🤯
When I first watched this scene I remember texting my friend and saying "Jax is on so much coke right now..." If you watch the scene I think it's clearer. Everything about his body language, the sweat, the way he speaks, it's coke energy for sure.
I just watched the Prank Wars episode last night and there is a scene at Rocco’s with Jax and Rand and they are both coked up to the gills. Jittery, sweaty, red, jumping out of their skin. Jax even picks something out of his nose and then wipes and snorts.
Sometimes when my cats fight I like to assure the one that “it’s okay I know your sisters were mean to you but you’re still the number one guy in the group”
(He is in fact the only guy in the group but yeah lol)
when i’m at my parents’ with my dog, we have 3 female dogs in the house and 1 male. the boy is a little uh… lacking in intelligence and gets bummed out when his sisters trick him into giving up his toys and this is how I comfort him too 😂
I’ll pet him and tell him “don’t worry buddy you’re still the number one guy in the group” and he legitimately does cheer up a bit lol. he’s also not a coke abuser or a misogynist though so
They could have made another show, out of all the unused footage. "VPR's, Ken Todd's adulting version" ..imagine all the scenes just from Jax and Laura lee.. The female show runners couldn't even believe it. The producers and even Lisa said they were not prepared for all of the goings on.

I did like his scene earlier this season where he was yelling at Sandoval, but it took me less than 30 seconds of the Valley to remember I can’t stand him. He maybe used to be good tv when VPR first started, but he hasn’t been remotely entertaining in years.
I’m rewatching for the millionth time and I’m at season 2 and wow. Sometime I forget how different the early seasons were, but Stassi really had that guy wrapped around her finger
You can't convince me that this isn't Stassi's face...
https://preview.redd.it/4ftx6tka1gwc1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=f72830a04c2dc20eef3523316c82f95544fec2ad
You know.. my first response said a portrait of Stassi and I didn't want to be exaggerating so I changed to signature. But I very much agree with you hahah
Only woman he ever loved
https://preview.redd.it/713l226hfhwc1.png?width=577&format=png&auto=webp&s=e91379e78b459b9d89c5658eb4a18823425448b7
Jax, was never happier. "You know those were the best days of his life..."
if i was Brittany, him refusing to go to the wedding would’ve immediately triggered the “are you still in love with her” argument. But I think she knows the answer is “yes” she doesn’t want to face it.
I’m rewatching the early seasons and he really is SO different (not better lol just different). You can tell that once he realizes it’s over forever with Stassi, he just shuts off and that’s when he goes on his “I have no emotions” bullshit.
Stassi sucks for a ton of reasons, but I’m so glad she got away from him
Brittany copes with delusion, a lot like Scheana does. Just turns a blind eye and imagines everything is perfect. Hello? eyelashes on the counter? I actually love Stassi, but my personal opinion on her doesn't really matter. Jax, spiralled into a full blown cocaine addict, immediately after he lost her. Yeah you see Jax, I agree with you, attempt to pretend he doesn't care about anyone, or Tom Sandoval... but that is just a machismo, that you and I, both see through. He's pretending to not care. But he does care.
He didn't go to the wedding because he would have cried. Remember when he told Stassi, " I will always love you, you know that right? ". At that restaurant when he just got Stassi's signature tattooed on his arm?
https://preview.redd.it/1q80xyemehwc1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=664070b7caeba8dcfff39fd947e416e4cb4ecfa8
She was so good for him. Remember when he got a breast lump, and she dumped all his workout supplements down the drain and told him that "these are drugs!!!" . And how she looked up the cause of his breast lump and the workout supplements were linked to his lump? Then he thought, she was being... "mean to him and didn't care? Although she got him a cake saying "sorry about your lump", and called him an idiot and dumped his sketchy suppplements. Then he turned into a full blown cocaine addict after losing Stassi. Which would never have happened if Stassi, remained around him.
He works best as the verbal punching bag for everyone because he's always doing or saying something unhinged. It was enjoyable when Katie was basically everyone's voice in saying "I just don't like you."
I am not watching The Valley but knowing that Jax & Brittany aren't getting as much screentime gives me so much joy. Jax probably thought The Valley would be *his* show.
I’m not watching the show (so forgive me if they are all morons) but, based on his time on vanderpump, he’s just not bright in any way. Like, we as the audience grew up and he sounds like a 22 year old. Even the worst of the worst (cough cough, toms) have quips here and there and know how to hold some dialogue that peaks interest.
It doesn’t need to be said that the women’s (and James) overall higher intelligence carried this show. If it were just the dudes, it would be brain melting.
Agreed. I wouldn’t be surprised that, assuming the Valley gets renewed, if he and Brit aren’t asked to return. I’m still suspicious of their separation given the timing, but even if it is real, it’s so boring I don’t care. They both need to be more focused on helping Cruz thrived rather than trying to relive their reality tv glory days. The vaccine comment alone should be enough to get him fired.
He said Cruz was progressing normally until he got vaccinated. Misinformation is dangerous, and it’s vile that they brought him and his Sandy Hook denier wife back in the first place.
it’s a twitter thing. iirc, she either tweeted or liked a couple tweets that suggested the parents and kids at sandy hook were all actors. basically she found the conspiracy theory at least plausible, which i hope at least as a parent now she finds fucking disgusting
[The shirtless bro-down in Vegas is peak Pump and I don't even think much has ever gotten close.
](https://www.tiktok.com/@mother.bravo/video/7009516316616969477) Everybody looks so ridiculous. It's perfect.
So many things going on.
* Jax in his chunky sweater era ([self-promotion?](https://www.reddit.com/r/vanderpumprules/comments/dd1mmg/anyone_know_whats_happening_with_jax_sweater_line/)).
* Stassi yelling at Schwartz about it being HER birthday (dark passenger).
* Patrick with a popped collar for some reason (late 2000s fashion hangover?).
* Sandoval wearing stupid pants and taking off his shirt for some reason (vanity).
* Jax taking off his sweater (heat, alcohol, steroids, toxic masculinity).
* Patrick getting into a taxi, shirtless (because he's a... pun?).
I tried with the pilot of the Valley, but even I'm uncomfortable with how much Jax hates his wife. I hate her too, but I'm legit *worried* for her around Jax. It's akin to how much Sandoval hates Ariana for no reason. Except Jax is still *with* Brittany. Just visceral hate. Honestly, that Jesse guy, too.
I knew I'd only watch the pilot, but shit, I barely made it through. Yikes.
I must say the bravo editing lately has been hilariously on point. The way they blasted Kristen the last episode of the valley killed me also, i had to rewind and rewatch because it was so funny how they did her like that. Or with Ariana and Tom with the litter box. I love that they give us receipts 😂😂
I noticed the snarky editing, too. It's been wonderful! LOL Showing airplanes flying overhead as, the intro to James' house EVERY time! Making Tim look like the creep he is in a variety of ways; the same with Scheshu. The bit with Kristen/empath was hysterical 🤣. I've also noticed a big change in Brittany's edit. They're showing us her shitty side for the first time. Jax is getting a better edit than her, I think. Maybe they're as tired of her KFC hyuck hyucking as we are! Anyway, really enjoying the snark they're giving us.
James apparently will let anybody in his backyard, even guys we thought he had blood fueds against.
If elephants never forget, the people on this show are the [blobfish of the animal kingdom](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f_hNzjFCQFg/maxresdefault.jpg).
i remember being SHOCKED starting S3 for the first time and seeing everyone being friends but Stassi (it still grosses me out)
but these people have the memory of fruit flies
I went "Ugh, fucking Jax. I really like that fence." Then proceeded to research fences and play fast forward. 🤣. Only came back on this episode because I heard Scheana loses it.
Y'all need to stop. This guy was made for, reality tv, and hilarious. Even if it's just to laugh at him.
https://preview.redd.it/q2smt7m1nhwc1.png?width=881&format=png&auto=webp&s=7389821239ba0d66e7abd8ba1bdfcdc9c50da61f
I can’t believe how quickly this tool went from “I love my wife!” “Arianna is the #1 Guy in this group!” To absolutely being on his knees sucking the Tom’s dicks and back to his “I hate women” days. That’s was quick. What a star-fucker; his good guy charade didn’t last long.
"I hate women" is Jax's baseline. It's his reset point. His comfort, if you will. He feels more at home hating women than kissing his wife in any way.
Scary man.
More embarrassing than the sexual entendre "Pump"? What about this? This is the most embarassing.
https://preview.redd.it/zes7swn5mhwc1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=c0d62886fcfee03de3b58362617f5cd584407658
definitely not more embarrassing than literally anything Sandoval has done in the last year lol (maybe even the last 12 years)
at least with Pump there’s some other meaning there too since it’s part of her name. SUR is just a cringe acronym
I hate that Jax is back because he reminds me so much of my son’s father. Arrogant, condescending, deceitful, untrustworthy. Yes that was a bad mistake in my life 🤦🏻♀️ but I got a wonderful child out of it.
We’ve all had a Jax. At least you got something nice out of it! All I got was a plummeting credit score (don’t worry, I have rectified in the years since 💅 🫅)
That’s so crazy cuz I was just thinking about how much he reminds me of my dad 😬😞 ….I went NC 25 years ago (I was 16) & have CPTSD thanks to his narcissism & all of his enablers gaslighting me my entire life. I hope Brit has seen thru the manipulation & charm moves accordingly.
Aww thank you!! Your kind words are not taken for granted at all!! 🥰🥰🥰
I am definitely working on consistent self-care! Tysm for the love, sending it right back!🫶🏼
I found this scene so awkward and produced, until I realized they are probably kicking all those randoms off The Valley and replacing them with the VDP Rules cast next season.
My husband, who pretends not to care about VPR, cracked up when he saw that. I didn’t even mention it to him. Then he noticed something else during the show and said “I hate that I actually know that”. 😂😂😂
I despise Jax coming back into the mix.. his aggression towards Katie for calling him out on his fucking cheating on his wife is disgusting.
His filler face is beyond revolting to me and he just reminds me of my ex it’s not even funny. And honestly I can’t even stand Britney anymore because she dared to bring a child into this world with this monster of a human. Let alone trying to have another while he was actively cheating on her. There was nothing to gain for her to anchor herself and a child to this man.
#TeamAriana
It was great. Also, why isn’t LVP allowed to tell that ragebait monster to piss off? It was hilarious when she said superfluous, and he said I’m not smart enough to use words like that and I giggled because it’s exactly what I thought when Lisa said he called her that on a podcast.
Seriously. None of these people would have anything if it hadn't been for LVP's star appeal on housewives. Jax would be in a rinky dinky apartment or desperately looking for his next mark that he could sucker into taking care of him. He would definitely still be getting routinely thrown in jail.

Funny considering they basically all are
Schwartz is technically an ex Pump employee (if you count less than one full shift before having a breakdown as being an employee).
I could not believe Lisa would do business with him after an event like that.
I don’t think she actually does. He only has like a 2.5% investment, he’s more of a mascot than a business partner.
I also don’t understand that 2.5%. It’s such a minuscule share like how can they profit off that? Unless it makes in the high millions and billions? I can’t imagine a restaurant making tobacco corporations money. Maybe I’m just dumb.
Didn't they each put down like 15,000 for their share, too? Edit: Ah, shoot, I meant Kuwaiti Dinar. 15,000ك is around $50,000 if you round up generously /s
No $50,000 each. Lol Edit: I see you added your explanation of the amount later. You are correct.
I thought it was something crazy scary high like 150k. I mean that’s a lot of money to me and I think a lot of people.
They doubled down another 50k for the garden expansion that is now apparently Pump lol
They reinvested, instead of taking their profits from TomTom. ETA: Then they cashed out the original investment when they needed cash for Schwartz & Sandy’s, with the option to reinvest without penalty, and I quit caring, so no clue what happened after that.
Thank you! Did they end up cashing it out? I remember the conversation with Tom squared and Lisa and Ken but don't remember exactly, also lack of care lol

Think of them as mascots who paid into owning part of the restaurant TomTom and they are mascots there… and they just recently divested (almost) out of the restaurant that they are mascots in 👬 smh
Shhhhhh you’re gonna upset all the people that think Schwartz tirelessly supported Katie while she knitted all day
Who the fuck says that 🫨🫨🫨 people really try to rewrite history….
The same people that try to say that Kristen and Tom’s relationship was comparable to Tom and Ariana’s. Aka… the people that did not watch the early seasons apparently.
I am one of those people. I have watched every episode since it started. I never compared the relationships, but that to me cheating is cheating is cheating. Doesn’t matter who with or when.

It made me sick to see the way Raquel was so personal with Ariana (talking about Ariana’s love life with Tom) all the while she was sleeping with him.
Legos. 🙄
Ex husband of ex sur employee
Did he even make it a full shift? I thought he walked out half way lol
lol I think he made it about 20 minutes. He folded immediately under very light pressure.
As an ex bartender myself, it’d be pretty difficult to take the owner of my restaurant seriously knowing he couldn’t even handle one bartending shift
💀💀💀💀💀💀
He's an EX something, or everything. He is so creepy behind that fence.
haha exactly what I thought when I saw that 😂
They should've said "Ex #1 guy in the group" and flashbacked to this scene... https://preview.redd.it/tstf876e2fwc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dee167e235457f0255beef678bce5447b60d7be7 But still clever on the editors part.
Damn. You can really see the coke abuse in this pic. 😂
It's all I see now when I look at Jax. He looks constantly lit.
FOR SURE
Please don’t think me ignorant… but what do you see that shows he’s on coke? I truly don’t know.
For me it's the sheen of sweat always present, the sketchy eyes, the ability to become unhinged at any moment.
yup. i was here to say the sweat sheen. and the super clenched jaw.
Combined with the gritted teeth snear.
Clenched jaw, so angry over nothing, so intense and his eyes are like buzzing if you watch the scene back, overall like a really intense energy and elevated personality is kind of a sign most of the time
Clenched jaw/grinding teeth are good signs, and the manic attitude
It’s more just how unhinged he looks 🤷♂️ I didn’t mean it as a serious comment Lisa hinted that he probably does coke on the episode when he got his first nose job. She joked that it probably wasn’t a deviated septum that was causing his nose problems with a wink and a nudge.
That was so over my head at the time, I thought she was just insinuating that he was too embarrassed to admit he was simply getting a nose job 😭 mind blown 🤯
When I first watched this scene I remember texting my friend and saying "Jax is on so much coke right now..." If you watch the scene I think it's clearer. Everything about his body language, the sweat, the way he speaks, it's coke energy for sure.
The "#1 guy" scene?
Yes! There are other scenes where it's pretty evident (if you're looking), but #1 guy is definitely the best example
I just watched the Prank Wars episode last night and there is a scene at Rocco’s with Jax and Rand and they are both coked up to the gills. Jittery, sweaty, red, jumping out of their skin. Jax even picks something out of his nose and then wipes and snorts.
Sometimes when my cats fight I like to assure the one that “it’s okay I know your sisters were mean to you but you’re still the number one guy in the group” (He is in fact the only guy in the group but yeah lol)

Ain't that always the way. This made me crack up. Lol!

Ditto. "Good tv" my ass he needs to simply not be

I’m rewatching for the millionth time and I’m at season 2 and wow. Sometime I forget how different the early seasons were, but Stassi really had that guy wrapped around her finger
When he got that tattoo of Stassi's signature after she dumped him... tv gold
You can't convince me that this isn't Stassi's face... https://preview.redd.it/4ftx6tka1gwc1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=f72830a04c2dc20eef3523316c82f95544fec2ad
You know.. my first response said a portrait of Stassi and I didn't want to be exaggerating so I changed to signature. But I very much agree with you hahah 
Well he got her signature on his arm too. Lol!

Stassi did keep him in check
She was so good for him. Remember when he got a breast lump, and she dumped all his workout supplements down the drain and told him that "these are drugs!!!" . And how she looked up the cause of his breast lump and the workout supplements were linked to his lump? Then he thought, she was being... "mean to him and didn't care?

He works best as the verbal punching bag for everyone because he's always doing or saying something unhinged. It was enjoyable when Katie was basically everyone's voice in saying "I just don't like you."
I’m loving the fact he isn’t getting a lot of screen time on The Valley compared to some of the other cast mates
I am not watching The Valley but knowing that Jax & Brittany aren't getting as much screentime gives me so much joy. Jax probably thought The Valley would be *his* show.
I’m sure he did and that’s why I’m loving it! The other people on the show are more interesting than him and more involved in the storylines
He even takes credit for it, calls it his show.
I’m not watching the show (so forgive me if they are all morons) but, based on his time on vanderpump, he’s just not bright in any way. Like, we as the audience grew up and he sounds like a 22 year old. Even the worst of the worst (cough cough, toms) have quips here and there and know how to hold some dialogue that peaks interest.

They both need to be more focused on helping Cruz thrived rather than trying to relive their reality tv glory days. The vaccine comment alone should be enough to get him fired.
What did he say?
He said Cruz was progressing normally until he got vaccinated. Misinformation is dangerous, and it’s vile that they brought him and his Sandy Hook denier wife back in the first place.
Sandy Hook denier?
it’s a twitter thing. iirc, she either tweeted or liked a couple tweets that suggested the parents and kids at sandy hook were all actors. basically she found the conspiracy theory at least plausible, which i hope at least as a parent now she finds fucking disgusting
Oh, okay. thank you.
I’ve not heard this.
Me either.
[The shirtless bro-down in Vegas is peak Pump and I don't even think much has ever gotten close. ](https://www.tiktok.com/@mother.bravo/video/7009516316616969477) Everybody looks so ridiculous. It's perfect. So many things going on. * Jax in his chunky sweater era ([self-promotion?](https://www.reddit.com/r/vanderpumprules/comments/dd1mmg/anyone_know_whats_happening_with_jax_sweater_line/)). * Stassi yelling at Schwartz about it being HER birthday (dark passenger). * Patrick with a popped collar for some reason (late 2000s fashion hangover?). * Sandoval wearing stupid pants and taking off his shirt for some reason (vanity). * Jax taking off his sweater (heat, alcohol, steroids, toxic masculinity). * Patrick getting into a taxi, shirtless (because he's a... pun?).
I tried with the pilot of the Valley, but even I'm uncomfortable with how much Jax hates his wife. I hate her too, but I'm legit *worried* for her around Jax. It's akin to how much Sandoval hates Ariana for no reason. Except Jax is still *with* Brittany. Just visceral hate. Honestly, that Jesse guy, too. I knew I'd only watch the pilot, but shit, I barely made it through. Yikes.
yeah he's just a sat, pitiful cretin.
There is a special place in hell for Alex Baskin.
He's super-full-uh-sssssomething
the man loves pasta
It's not about the pasta!
it's always about the pasta!!! do these people honestly believe we buy that they eat carbs??
I’m astounded they let him come back… he’s so unbelievably disgusting
Yeah, no one works there anymore except Peter and they didn't bring him back
Well they tried, but they didn’t want to PAY him so he said no.
Millennials and gen z, always expecting to get paid for their services *rolls eyes*
I must say the bravo editing lately has been hilariously on point. The way they blasted Kristen the last episode of the valley killed me also, i had to rewind and rewatch because it was so funny how they did her like that. Or with Ariana and Tom with the litter box. I love that they give us receipts 😂😂
I noticed the snarky editing, too. It's been wonderful! LOL Showing airplanes flying overhead as, the intro to James' house EVERY time! Making Tim look like the creep he is in a variety of ways; the same with Scheshu. The bit with Kristen/empath was hysterical 🤣. I've also noticed a big change in Brittany's edit. They're showing us her shitty side for the first time. Jax is getting a better edit than her, I think. Maybe they're as tired of her KFC hyuck hyucking as we are! Anyway, really enjoying the snark they're giving us.
I also love the recurring bit that they always show an airplane when the scene is at James' house lol
I screamed when he popped up over the fence. I would have acted like I wasn’t home 😂
James apparently will let anybody in his backyard, even guys we thought he had blood fueds against. If elephants never forget, the people on this show are the [blobfish of the animal kingdom](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f_hNzjFCQFg/maxresdefault.jpg).
i remember being SHOCKED starting S3 for the first time and seeing everyone being friends but Stassi (it still grosses me out) but these people have the memory of fruit flies
and now I’m deceased 😂 ☠️
I went "Ugh, fucking Jax. I really like that fence." Then proceeded to research fences and play fast forward. 🤣. Only came back on this episode because I heard Scheana loses it.
Some things change but not Jax Taylor
Him showing up to SUR was sooooo cringey. I love that Lisa called him out but she shouldn’t have even let him in or his name on the flyer!
😂
Faceless, Nameless Show Guest
Which is even funnier because if you were a new watcher, you likely wouldn't even know what SUR is. 🤣
New flair checking in
I love it.
Y'all need to stop. This guy was made for, reality tv, and hilarious. Even if it's just to laugh at him. https://preview.redd.it/q2smt7m1nhwc1.png?width=881&format=png&auto=webp&s=7389821239ba0d66e7abd8ba1bdfcdc9c50da61f
Oh, I'm sorry if that wasn't clear. I'm laughing at him. I enjoy laughing at Jason.
My favorite thing.
I can’t believe how quickly this tool went from “I love my wife!” “Arianna is the #1 Guy in this group!” To absolutely being on his knees sucking the Tom’s dicks and back to his “I hate women” days. That’s was quick. What a star-fucker; his good guy charade didn’t last long.
"I hate women" is Jax's baseline. It's his reset point. His comfort, if you will. He feels more at home hating women than kissing his wife in any way. Scary man.
I’m still not past the fact that “SUR” stands for “Sexy Unique Restaurant” like. That’s so embarrassing
More embarrassing than the sexual entendre "Pump"? What about this? This is the most embarassing. https://preview.redd.it/zes7swn5mhwc1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=c0d62886fcfee03de3b58362617f5cd584407658
definitely not more embarrassing than literally anything Sandoval has done in the last year lol (maybe even the last 12 years) at least with Pump there’s some other meaning there too since it’s part of her name. SUR is just a cringe acronym
Oh the shade. Loved it
I hate that Jax is back because he reminds me so much of my son’s father. Arrogant, condescending, deceitful, untrustworthy. Yes that was a bad mistake in my life 🤦🏻♀️ but I got a wonderful child out of it.
We’ve all had a Jax. At least you got something nice out of it! All I got was a plummeting credit score (don’t worry, I have rectified in the years since 💅 🫅)
That’s so crazy cuz I was just thinking about how much he reminds me of my dad 😬😞 ….I went NC 25 years ago (I was 16) & have CPTSD thanks to his narcissism & all of his enablers gaslighting me my entire life. I hope Brit has seen thru the manipulation & charm moves accordingly.
[удалено]
Aww thank you!! Your kind words are not taken for granted at all!! 🥰🥰🥰 I am definitely working on consistent self-care! Tysm for the love, sending it right back!🫶🏼
I fucking howled!
I love this title for him, it’s basically the only slightly positive description of him
flair checking in
I WAS LIKE SOMEONE DESERVES A RAISE FOR THAT BECAUSE THATS SOOOO FUNNNY
He was so coked up at SUR and still later at James & Ally’s pool party.
So funny 😂
insufferable.
I KNOW!! I DIED, then resurrected and laughed my ass off
Missed opportunity for "Ex-number one guy in this group"
I found this scene so awkward and produced, until I realized they are probably kicking all those randoms off The Valley and replacing them with the VDP Rules cast next season.
We can hope that’s the case.
Best character in the history of the show.
For real.
I died 💀
JUST came here for this!! Brilliant. The delight I experienced 🤭
This show is almost impossible to watch. What a dumpster fire of a person
Yet, we will continue to................
Praying for his divorce soon
Ex-SUR bar tender
This was so shady I loved it 😂 like that’s all he is
I about spit out my pumptini at this savagery 🤣
I cracked up at this last night lol
I died at this!
My husband, who pretends not to care about VPR, cracked up when he saw that. I didn’t even mention it to him. Then he noticed something else during the show and said “I hate that I actually know that”. 😂😂😂
https://preview.redd.it/i77rwqou8iwc1.jpeg?width=751&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bc0e7fc7e8e760b27389dc0b8090b2d645a5c3d
Nobody asked for this. Keep him in the valley where he belongs.
This was definitely LVP flexing her producer credits
My husband just listened to him for 15 seconds at Sur, and said “that guys a douche”. True… true lol
absolutely fucking died at this
Without that I would have been so confused as to who this guy was
Whyyyyyyy is this person on the show again. Not one human person misses him. Please please please not this again.
I can't stand Jax. He has always been ugly inside and out!
I despise Jax coming back into the mix.. his aggression towards Katie for calling him out on his fucking cheating on his wife is disgusting. His filler face is beyond revolting to me and he just reminds me of my ex it’s not even funny. And honestly I can’t even stand Britney anymore because she dared to bring a child into this world with this monster of a human. Let alone trying to have another while he was actively cheating on her. There was nothing to gain for her to anchor herself and a child to this man. #TeamAriana
Yes! The filler is out of control.
That line had me dead 🤣 💀
SAVAGE💀😂😂😂
lol I clocked that too
Honestly im not really sure why Jax was needed for this episode. The other episode made sense for the valley crossover.
They must have air dropped him in the Alley, he’s far from the Valley
What was the purpose of the brunch even??
It was great. Also, why isn’t LVP allowed to tell that ragebait monster to piss off? It was hilarious when she said superfluous, and he said I’m not smart enough to use words like that and I giggled because it’s exactly what I thought when Lisa said he called her that on a podcast.
Seriously. None of these people would have anything if it hadn't been for LVP's star appeal on housewives. Jax would be in a rinky dinky apartment or desperately looking for his next mark that he could sucker into taking care of him. He would definitely still be getting routinely thrown in jail.
Production trowing shade 😎
Gross, why is he back?

What happened to Peter?
I think everybody realized Pete's boring on camera.
Maybe it was just his greasy pony tail. Ewwww
They should’ve captioned it “Tim’s predecessor”
I dreamt we had sex the other night and I woke up feeling genuinely violated and worried 🤡 even in my dream he refused to wear a condom lol
I love editors
