BRAVO star Lisa Vanderpump responded to Jax Taylor’s claims about the Vanderpump Rules script.
Jax, 44, starred on Vanderpump Rules from seasons 1 to 8 and recently criticized the reality show for not being more authentic.
Lisa, who originally appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, recently spoke with Entertainment tonight about Jax’s claim that Vanderpump Rules is now “scripted.”
“I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to say ‘scripted,’” she said. “No one can write a script like Vanderpump Rules.”
“Oh my God,” she added. “Maybe what Jax says is scripted. Maybe he’ll stay at home in his little room and write his own scripts.
“Well, what do I know? Anyway, most of the time, anything Jax says doesn’t make sense to me,” she joked.

BEATING VANDERPUMP
The former SUR employee currently stars on The Valley, Bravo’s newest reality series.
Among other couples, The Valley features Jax and his wife Brittany Cartwright, as well as fired VPR star Kristen Doute and her boyfriend Luke.
Jax recently held a viewing party for the show at his Los Angeles bar, Jax’s Studio City, where he said a few words about VPR — which is currently in its 11th season.
“They don’t even hang out with each other,” he told the crowd at a TikTok captured by Kate Riccio (@katericcio) while VPR played before The Valley.
“Show me a scripted show and I’ll show you goddamn Vanderpump Rules. Scripted! Scripted!” he continued shouting.
“I’ve been on this show for nine goddamn years, this is scripted.
“I’ll be on the show next week and I’ll tell you one thing: it was planned!” he added, alluding to her appearance on Tuesday’s episode.
“This is disastrous,” he continued to complain.
“Don’t get me wrong, when we started, it was amazing. In seasons 1 to 6, it was organic, it was real. Now everyone starts having money, now it becomes fake. Everything after six seasons is a wash, it’s a shitty washing.
When The Valley appeared on the bar’s TV screens, Jax shouted, “Now you have a real show!”
I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to say ‘scripted’. No one can write a script like Vanderpump Rules.”

“Back to where we started. It’s organic, it’s real,” he said.
After the clip went viral, Jax addressed his words in an episode of his podcast, When reality arrives.
“I have a big mouth and it causes me problems from time to time,” he admitted.
“Unfortunately, I went on a rant about how Vanderpump Rules was written. I’m incredibly embarrassed about it.”
JAX BACK TO VPR
Jax and his wife, Brittany, along with Kristen and fellow VPR OG Stassi Schroeder were fired from the series in 2020 after past racist comments came to light.
With Jax, Brittany and Kristen back on the network, the three have been making small guest appearances on their previous show.
Kristen was the first to return to VPR, where she comforted Ariana Madix at the end of Season 10 after Tom Sandoval’s affair with Rachel Leviss broke.
Season 11, which premiered in January, featured Jax and Brittany making small appearances.
Jax was shown in Tuesday’s new episode when he quickly sat down with Lisa at SUR to discuss an event he was hosting at the bar with James Kennedy.
Lisa made it clear that she no longer liked Jax after he labeled her as the show’s “accessory” while speaking on a podcast.
With the former employer/employee’s long history, Lisa ended the conversation on mutual terms with Jax when he told her he loved her.
Jax also showed up to James’ house party, where he stirred up some drama with Katie Maloney, 37.
