Jax Taylor still has questions about what went through Tom Sandoval‘s mind when he had an affair with Raquel Leviss — and he thinks there may be more to the story.
“I think he’s going through something,” the former Vanderpump Rules star, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, July 11, while promoting his partnership with Xyon Health. “I don’t want to say midlife crisis, but he’s definitely going through something.

I think he’s got a few screws loose, personally.”
Us confirmed on March 3 that Sandoval and Ariana, 38, called it quits after Sandoval was caught having an affair with Raquel, 28. Filming had already wrapped on season 10 of Pump Rules, but cameras went back up in March to capture the aftermath of the scandal.

Kate Aurthur editor A “Vanderpump Rules” spinoff revolving around Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright and Kristen Doute — all of whom were fired from the flagship show in 2020 — is in the works at Bravo, Variety has confirmed. The show would follow the lives of them and their circle of friends in the Valley, and is in early stages of development. None of the main cast has signed yet, but the new series is from a pitch by “Vanderpump Rules” executive producer Alex Baskin. With Season 11 on the #Scandoval-fueled “Vanderpump Rules” beginning production today, this new series appears to answer the question in the negative about whether Taylor and Doute, who are original cast members from the show, will be returning. Instead, the three of them, along with new cast members, will be getting their own show. Stassi Schroeder, who also was ousted from “Vanderpump Rules” in 2020, will not be a part of the spinoff.
