During the "Hot Mic" podcast, Taylor revealed that he didn't share his struggle with addiction with anybody on the set of "Vanderpump Rules."

In fact, the reality star admitted that he used to get "lit" and "ripped" in between scenes at a bar next to their filming location in West Hollywood, California.

“I would go off on my own. We would film a scene, and you have 30 minutes [of] downtime, so most people go rest. I would go to a bar, get lit, or go next door from SUR, and that’s where we all went because we weren’t allowed to drink during scenes," he explained.
