Maybe he thinks he’s the #1 guy on the street too…?
Jax Taylor hit another car in a fender-bender earlier this week. Instead of talking to the driver of the other car, The Valley star drove off.
This is not the first time he has tried to make a run from the law. Evidently, he did not learn his lesson!
Jax Taylor was involved in a minor car accident in Los Angeles and fled the scene.
TMZ reported that a woman came forward about the incident on the Nextdoor.
Michelle West shared in a post that her boyfriend had been stopped at a red light in Valley Village when Jax ran into the back of his car.
The 45-year-old was in his black truck and hit a Subaru sedan.
She wrote that Jax drove off, leading her boyfriend to follow him to a nearby gas station. There are photos and videos of the interaction.
The pair was filmed talking and looking at the man’s vehicle for damage before the reality star seemed to decide that he’s done.
Jax then got into his truck and drove away.
The other driver took a photo of his license plate and confirmed to someone filming that the father of one would not share his information.
His rep said in a statement, “Jax was involved in what he believed to be a minor fender bender yesterday afternoon when his vehicle bumped into the rear end of the car in front of him while at a red light.
“The driver immediately stepped out of his vehicle, enraged which caused an unpleasant interaction between both parties.”
They went on to defend Jax’s course of action

They went on to defend Jax’s course of action.
“Jax saw no visible damage to either vehicle and no apparent injuries to either involved, and therefore proceeded to leave the scene,” continued the statement. “Since this altercation, Jax has filed a claim with his insurance company to investigate further into the details and will follow the recommendations provided by his insurance company.”
The owner of the vehicle allegedly hit by Jax did try to go to the police station to file a report, but he was told to handle it online.
His girlfriend confirmed to TMZ that they want to hold the Vanderpump Rules alum responsible in the case.
This certainly comes at a tough time for Jax.
He has been going through a very public divorce from Brittany Cartwright.
A source recently told The Sun that Jax was forced into rehab by his team to save his job.
Production told Jax that if he wanted to film The Valley, he had to go to rehab. So he went to save his job,” they revealed.
The source said, “It was a non-negotiable for them. It wasn’t his idea.”
Evidently an “explosive” fight led to this decision made by production and his team. The source said he portrayed “inappropriate” behavior during the argument.
“Jax went over the line on this occasion,” the source noted.
The former Vanderpump Rules star detailed exactly what caused their huge blowout. Evidently Jax found out that Brittany was still talking to his friend Julian, and was even sending him nude photos of herself.
Jax said he and Brittany were in a good place and even discussed her moving back into their home.
That same night, Jax looked at the iPad and found that Brittany was sending nude photos to his friend Julian.
“I lost it,” he revealed on Bravo’s Hot Mic podcast. “That’s where I hit the bottom of the barrel. That’s where I just saw red,” Jax recalled.
Things became explosive after Jax looked at the iPad.
The Bravo star said that he had an “out of body experience” and went “crazy.”
“I threw furniture,” he said. “Luckily, thank god, my son was upstairs…but that was my breaking point.”
This argument is what led Jax to enter an in-patient mental health facility. However, Brittany recently revealed that Jax’s behavior did not change after his 30 days in the program.
“I don’t feel like he changed at all in those 30 days,” she revealed on the podcast.
“And the reason, I mean, I’m sure it’ll be on the show as well, but, you know, a lot of rage texting and stuff was still going on the entire time that he was in rehab.”
