This was supposed to be Jax Taylor's season of redemption on Vanderpump Rules.

Jax Taylor seemingly addressed his alleged firing from Vanderpump Rules during an Instagram Live with his fans and followers on Friday. Months after claiming he quit the Bravo reality show to focus on starting a family with wife Brittany Cartwright, Jax spoke of “attack culture” before dishing on his unborn son, his future in Kentucky, and his plans for a tell-all about his time on Pump. Courtesy Jax Taylor/Twitter “There was this article on Daily Mail where there was an African American lady,” Stowers told Rice. “They showcased her, and I guess this woman was robbing people. Former Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor says it's a 'huge relief' to be done with the show and he has 'zero interest' in that lifestyle. 1.5m Followers, 503 Following, 1,329 Posts - See Instagram photos and videos from Brittany Cartwright💋 (@brittany). — Jax (@mrjaxtaylor) March 11, 2020 VPR’s Jax Taylor Starts Twitter Fight By Bashing Sandoval. Jax took the first shot against his VPR co-star on Twitter. When a fan asked if Randall (Lala’s fiance) was out now that Sandoval was back in as best man, Jax doubled-down on regretting letting the TomTom co-owner stand up for him at his wedding.

Much has been made of Jax's 'changed man' narrative, and fans hoped that his fairytale wedding to Brittany Cartwright would finalize his transition into a loyal spouse and sane, sober(-ish) adult.

Unfortunately, recent episodes of Vanderpump have demonstrated that if Jax has changed at all, it's for the worse.

Picking petty fights with friends, shouting at his new wife, overloading on substances in a desperate attempt at self-medication ... Jax might not be cheating on Brittany anymore, but he's ramped up every other type of egregious behavior.

'I hear something, I get triggered. I have super highs and super lows,' a manic Taylor explained to Cartwright on a recent episode.,

'I smoke a lot, then I get hungry and I gain 20 pounds and I'm like, sh-t I gotta lose weight, so I take f--king Adderall. I can't win.'

As many fans pointed out, other cast members insisted that James Kennedy get sober when he engaged in similarly abusive, erratic behavior, and James never confessed to rampant substance abuse in an unhinged rant that made it to air.

Producers recently attempted to explain away Jax's bad behavior, blaming it on a post-wedding emotional hangover.

“Historically, Jax has acted out and self-sabotaged when things weren’t exciting enough in his life,” one producer revealed on a special episode that featured commentary from the crew.

“It seemed like he was having a wedding comedown… not consciously realizing why he was acting out.'

But fans of the show have a different theory.

They believe there are two driving forces behind Jax's recent ... and they're the same things that have been fueling his bad behavior from the start -- namely, narcissism and drugs.

'Seriously #JaxTaylor how much fucking cocaine you go through during filming of @VanderpumpRules?' one viewer tweeted during Tuesday night's episode.

'I mean you might want to ask crew to adjust lighting to not highlight your blown pupils.'

'Jax either needs an intervention or an exorcism!' another Twitter user suggested.

Fans are less sympathetic than ever now that Jax has publicly acknowledged his problem, but still refuses to seek treatment, despite the way his behavior is hurting his wife and friends.

'The way I DETEST Jax Taylor more than anyone else on Bravo. Not a single redeeming quality,' one fan tweeted.

'Not a single feud he’s been in where I root for him. I don’t know a W O R S E person. #PumpRules'

Another viewer put it even more bluntly, tweeting simply, 'Jax Taylor is cancelled forever.'

Throughout this season, the causes of Jax's rage have been as troubling as the tantrums themselves.

Whether nonsensical (a friend hosting a beach clean-up), asinine (a different friend hosting a pool party at an inconvenient time), or problematic (the preacher Jax and Brittany hired for their wedding was openly homophobic; Taylor became enraged at friends who pointed this out to him), Jax's triggers paint a disturbing portrait of a man teetering on the brink of collapse.

And then there are the incidents that weren't caught on camera.

Before the season even began, viewers were calling for Jax to be fired from the show due to bigoted remarks he made to a stranger on Twitter while bullying the man because of his opinion about a hockey jersey.

Clearly, Jax is a man who's desperately in need of help.

And it seems unlikely that he'll receive the treatment he needs as long as his behavior is being subsidized and rewarded by Bravo.

Jax Taylor started an Instagram for his son Cruz, but fans also see lots of photos from him on his own page. Now he shared a photo of his baby’s face and fans think Brittany and Jax made a beautiful child. Smitten, Jax just can’t find the words to explain his love for his son. If you haven’t gotten baby fever yet, you might finally go down with it.

Jax Taylor Gave Brittany A Ring But There’s No price On His Love For Cruz

One week ago, on April 12, Cruz arrived in the world and made Brittany Cartwright and his dad Jax very happy. Jax created an Instagram account for Cruz and warned of fakes. Actually, the way Jax is likely so protective of his child, fakers better watch out! Jax, who seemed to mellow overnight probably becomes a fierce protector of Cruz in the future. The often abrasive Vanderpump Rules alum seems to have morphed into a mellow dad overnight, but it might be better not to test his patience.

This weekend, Jax Taylor showed his appreciation for Brittany and he gifted her a blue diamond. That came as a “push present,” he said in his Instagram stories. While Jax might seem besotted with Cruz, obviously Brittany’s way more than just a baby-maker for the new dad. The unlikely Bravo couple both seem delirious with joy over their first child. Fans still hope for some sort of TV show from them since they left Vandperpump Rules. No doubt, with baby fever raging, fans start clamoring for more of them on their screens.

‘Unmeasurable’ Love Almost Impossible To Describe

Jax Taylor shared a photo and fans took their first look at their baby’s face. He tried telling his fans how one week of fatherhood makes him feel. However, he can’t find the words. He described it as trying to explain “water to some one who’s never felt water, (sic).” Talking about how he never knew so much “joy” in his life, Jax also said, “the amount of love we have for our son is unmeasurable.” It seems that the new dad can’t get his head around how he ever lived without Cruz in his life.

Further on in his post, Jax Taylor talked about how fatherhood seems like the best experience a man can have. Determined to be a good dad he said he promises Cruz “the best-childhood a boy could ask for.” Not alone with baby fever, Brittany also commented on her husband’s post. She wrote, “A week old already!! 😭❤️🥰 mommy can’t take it!! lol so obsessed ❤️.” Naturally, Bravo fans reacted to the caption and to the little boy who looks “adorable.
