Jax Taylor Exits Studio City Bar to Champion Sobriety and Mental Health

Reality star Jax Taylor has officially ended his partnership at his Studio City bar to prioritize his sobriety and mental well-being.
Hi, I’m Maya Rivers, and I’m about to sprinkle a little poetic dust on this tale, even if it’s more sip than sonnet.
Ah, the ripple of change in Tinseltown—Jax Taylor, best known for stirring drama on Vanderpump Rules, has decided that the next big scene in his life is one of healing. According to a representative speaking with TMZ, Taylor’s move to terminate his stake in Jax’s Studio City was “a carefully considered and necessary step to prioritize his sobriety and mental health.” This candid confession underpins a shift from late-night cocktails to early-morning clarity.
The announcement followed a flurry of chatter on social media when weekend passersby noticed crews peeling off the bold letters spelling his name from the Studio City facade. Fans and onlookers snapped photos and posted them across Instagram, fueling speculation that the bar’s owner was stepping foot out of The Valley in more ways than one.
Less than two weeks ago, Taylor himself took to Instagram to reveal his decision to exit “The Valley.” He admitted he needed space away from the bar scene to safeguard his hard-won sobriety. Those words arrived on the heels of nearly a year of in-patient treatment, a chapter that Taylor credits with helping him confront long-standing battles with substance abuse and emotional health.
Back in 2024, viewers watched in real time as Taylor sought professional help to steer his life onto a healthier path. His journey included open discussions about therapy sessions and the struggle to stay sober. Fans rallied behind him, offering encouragement under #TeamJax posts and heartfelt comments.
This personal quest has unfolded alongside the public scrutiny of his divorce from Brittany Cartwright, his wife of four years. Through it all, Taylor has maintained that his main focus now is inner peace. A source close to the former couple tells TMZ that Brittany offers unwavering support even as they navigate this new chapter apart.
Though his name may no longer light up the Studio City marquee, Taylor’s story is far from over. He’s reportedly exploring projects that align with wellness initiatives and plans to share more of his recovery journey in upcoming interviews. It seems our reality star is scripting a new narrative—one where health takes center stage.
So here we stand at the bar’s empty doorway, watching the sunset of one era and anticipating the dawn of another. Let the quiet moments speak volumes, and let us witness the next chapter with hopeful hearts.
