Jax Taylor was spotted at Schwartz & Sandy’s earlier this week, where he reportedly told fans that he is returning to Vanderpump Rules for season 11.
While also allegedly shading Tom Schwartz‘s rumored flame, Jo Wenberg, and suggesting Tom Sandoval was in trouble with the IRS after failing to pay his taxes, Jax was said to have announced his comeback.
“Jax said Sandoval hasn’t paid taxes in years, and the IRS is after him,” an insider told Real Moms of Bravo on Instagram of Jax’s visit to the bar. “Jax kept saying how Schwartz is his best friend, and he’s really worried that he’ll get dragged down because of that and lose Schwartz and Sandy’s.”
As for Jo, the source shared, “Jo was VERY drunk. And in the bathroom asked if my friends watched the show, they [obviously] said yes, and she said ‘Do you know Jo? That’s ME. I’m Jo.’”
“It seemed like she was very into Schwartz, but I wasn’t getting that same vibe from Schwartz to her. Maybe he was just in work mode?” they added.
The source revealed that Jax allegedly said Jo is “trouble” and “shouldn’t be” at Schwartz and Sandoval’s establishment.
“Everyone was very friendly and talked/took pictures with everyone … Jax was so talkative and said he’s back on the cast next season and is on [four] TV shows now,” they continued. “And that they are announcing the cast for next season this week?”
Then, after admitting it was “unclear how reliable that info” was, the insider described Jax as “surprisingly nice and approachable.”
During Jax’s visit to Schwartz & Sandy’s, he and Schwartz took time to pose with fans, as seen in a post shared by the Queens of Bravo on Instagram.
“Spotted: Schwartz & Jax hanging out at Schwartz & Sandy’s last night amid rumors allegedly told by Jax that he’s returning to [Pump Rules],” the fan page wrote in the caption of their May 13 post.
As Pump Rules fans know, Jax has been teasing his and wife, Brittany Cartwright‘s returns to the show for years, most recently sharing with E! News that they are both open to the idea.
The Vanderpump Rules season 10 finale airs next Wednesday, May 17, at 9/8c on Bravo.
