"Classic Jax" — Scheana Shay Claims Jax Taylor Rage-Texted and Blocked Her Mom, Erika

In August 2024, Vanderpump Rules and The Valley star Jax Taylor's estranged wife Brittany Cartwright filed for divorce seven months after the couple announced they were separating after five years of marriage and a child together. Their split has resulted in Brittany spilling tons of tea about her Jax, including how she allegedly caught him cheating on her twice and that he rage-texted her soon after she filed for divorce.

Perhaps one of the wildest stories from this divorce (to date) is that Jax reportedly isn't only sending Brittany nasty texts. Apparently, his former Vanderpump Rules co-star, Scheana Shay's mom, Erika, was also subject to his wrath.

As fans wait to hear an official word about Vanderpump Rules' future amid its hiatus after Season 11, Scheana spilled some tea that will likely come back up again on VPR or The Valley. On Nov. 20, 2024, she appeared on Lala Kent's podcast, Give Them Lala, and spilled that her and Jax's ongoing drama had now affected her mother, Erika.

Scheana said on the podcast that Jax had recently involved her mom in their drama. She claimed he texted her and told her, "Your daughter won’t shut her f----ng mouth." Lala added that Jax reportedly took his pettiness a step further and "then blocked her so your mom couldn’t even respond," stating that the move was "Classic Jax.”

Scheana further shared that Tom Schwartz tried to alleviate the drama between her mom and Jax by promising Erika that he would convince Jax to unblock her. Unfortunately, the damage was already done in her mom's eyes, stating she told Schwartz, "It’s fine. We’re good."

Jax and Scheana's relationship has never been great. However, since they filed for divorce, his former co-star has clarified that she and her husband, Brock Davies, are standing ten toes down for Brittany and have only tolerated Jax on her friend's behalf.

"I love Brittany, that's why we deal with Jax," Scheana said after Brock asked how she managed to stay around him all of these years.

Scheana also mentioned that, despite her feelings about Jax, she can empathize with them both as they face their divorce in the public eye while also trying their best to co-parent their son, Cruz.

"I also think they're trying to figure out how to co-parent," she mentioned. "This is a new world for them. Neither of them have been married and divorced with a child and a home before, you know? So I don't think we can really judge or say how they're dealing with it."

Although Scheana could've said much worse things about Jax, she opted to keep it cute on the podcast. He, however, took to Instagram soon after the episode dropped and accused her of using his family's situation and the fact that their kids attend the same school as "content." Jax also said he doesn't want to see Scheana anywhere near VPR's spinoff, The Valley, should the main show not return for Season 12.
