The Valley star Jax Taylor has been in the news because of his troubled divorce. But now he has made a shocking confession about his addictions. Taylor Jax recently admitted that he lied to therapists about his drug usage and sex addiction. He said, “Yes, [I’ve lied], mostly out of embarrassment. Mostly out of embarrassment.”

While speaking on the podcast ‘Breaking the Rules Pod Clips’ on Instagram, he said that he has seen many therapists, though he does not have the exact count, but he has seen nearly five or six therapists. “Sometimes I just omit information. I won’t say everything. I sugarcoat things, I’ll kind of glance over it, which is stupid,” he added. He further noted that ‘if you’re paying to see a therapist, why would you lie to them?’
Jax added that if you are honest with anybody, then it should be your therapist. “So you’re going to spend $150 an hour and then lie to him?” “If you’re trying to fix yourself, you gotta be honest with these people,” Taylor said. Further speaking about his untruthfulness, he also admitted that he had an addiction to cocaine earlier this year. He added that he ‘downplayed how much drugs he was doing’ and ‘downplayed his sex addiction.’
Jax said that it was really ‘embarrassing’. “I did. It took me some time. And also, too, it has a lot to do with the therapist,” he shared. Taylor further explained that it takes him a great deal to open up in front of someone. He further spoke about couples who are essentially still together because of their children.
“A lot of people say the same thing: ‘We got f*cking kids’ That’s the main, main response that I get,” he added. Jax further questioned if it is normal to be in a marriage where you two are together because of children, and you don’t want to upset the kids. Taylor continued, “Is that more detrimental because your kids are seeing you’re not really happy because you’re going through the motions?” Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for all The Valley updates.
