Jax Taylor came out of hiding one week after two of his "Vanderpump Rules" castmates were fired for racial profiling another co-star. Immediately after Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute were axed from the Bravo show for an incident involving racial profiling Faith Stowers, fans turned on Jax Taylor and called on the network to put him on the chopping block next. Faith Stowers mirrored fans' demands that Taylor should be cut from "Vanderpump Rules," stating that he treated others even worse than Schroeder and Doute did.

In photos shot on Wednesday, June 17, the OG “Pump Rules” star seemed visibly agitated while doing yard work at his Los Angeles home. This is the first time he's been spotted since the scandal broke and it appears the drama is getting to him. Keeping it casual wearing all black, Jax Taylor sported a hooded sweatshirt reading "Violent Gentlemen Hockey Club" and a pair of sweats. It's interesting that he's at home in Southern California while his wife Brittany Cartwright appears to be in Kentucky where her mother remains in ICU.

Brittany Cartwright's behavior has also come into question following the scandal. As The Blast reported, Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute were fired by Bravo on Tuesday after racist remarks they made in 2018 against Faith Stowers resurfaced. The ex "Vanderpump Rules" star recalled the incident with the duo and stated that Stassi and Kristen once called the cops on her because she looked like a black female who was wanted for robbery.
Addressing the incident with "Floribama Shore" star Candace Rice, Faith said, "There was this article on Daily Mail where there was an African American lady. It was a weird photo, so she looked very light-skinned and had these different, weird tattoos. They showcased her, and I guess this woman was robbing people. And they called the cops and said it was me. This is like, a true story. I heard this from actually Stassi during an interview," she told fans.
The girls issued apologies but fans weren't convinced and immediately called on the network to let go of them. Days later, Bravo answered but viewers then turned their focus to Jax Taylor citing insensitive remarks he's made in the past. He's not the only star on the network being racked under the coals by watcher. "RHOC" Kelly Dodd is being called out too for her "tone-deaf" remarks involving Coronavirus and the aftermath of George Floyd's death. "RHOA" star NeNe Leakes has even threatened to expose other Bravo stars who should be cut.
