Last month, Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor got engaged to Brittany Cartwright.
Fans of the series were more than a little surprised, not because Jax has never really seemed like the marrying kind (although there is that), but because he's seemed to go out of his way to make Brittany's life markedly worse throughout their time together.
Folks, be happy that the cameras are currently rolling for Vanderpump Rules Season 7 because it sounds like sh-t is really hitting the fan in West Hollywood this week.
The drama began with rumors that Kristen Doute had been fired from the show due to her inability or unwillingness to stir up unnecessary drama with her castmates.
Jax Taylor isn't exactly a favorite amongst Vanderpump Rules fans.
Taylor takes a lot of flak for his behavior on the show, and rightfully so -- he's pretty much effed up in every imaginable way over the course of the show's six seasons.
Vanderpump Rules is unique among Bravo shows, in that the cast has endured very little restructuring over the course of their six seasons on the air.
Producers added Lala Kent and James Kennedy, and certain SUR folk have seen their roles diminished over the years (we miss you, Peter), but with the exception of flash-in-the-pan Vail Bloom, no one has been full-on fired from the show.
In December, Jax Taylor's father died following a cancer battle. Cancer is the actual worst, folks.
Months later, on his late father's birthday, Jax has taken to social media to share his thoughts on his dearly departed dad.
Back in April, we asked the following question:
Is the romance between Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor really over for good?
Over the past two seasons of Vanderpump Rules viewers witnessed two very perplexing inverse trends:
For some reason, as James Kennedy's behavior became even more deplorable, he somehow came to enjoy greater popularity with his castmates.
Yesterday, we reported on the tragic death of Mark Vanderpump, the beloved brother of Bravo reality star Lisa Vanderpump.
It was initially reported that the 59-year-old DJ's lifeless body was discovered in his London apartment, but as new details of Vanderpump's death emerged, a different narrative began to take shape:
Lala Kent was forced to go on the offensive Monday night.
The Vanderpump Rules veteran found herself the target of her co-stars' wrath when the topic on the show's reunion special turned to boyfriend Randall Emmett.
Lisa Vanderpump is in mourning.
According to The Daily Mail, the long-time Bravo star's brother, Mark Vanderpump, was found dead at his home in Gloucestershire, England on April 30.
If you watched the Vanderpump Rules Season 6 reunion show on Monday, then you bore witness to some instances of genuine emotion - and of course, some truly cringe-inducing melodrama.
Naturally, most of the moments in the latter category belonged to Scheana Marie, who should really 86 the four pounds of fake eyelashes if she's gonna keep crying nonstop at these things.
Jax Taylor has had a rough year.
Granted, many of his problems are self-created, such as the drama that ensued when he was caught cheating on Brittany Cartwright.
