Jax Taylor is 'dreading' The Valley season two

Jax Taylor has opened up about his struggles

Jax Taylor is "dreading" his appearance in season two of 'The Valley'.

The 45-year-old star has endured a turbulent time over the last 12 months, and Jax has admitted to feeling anxious ahead of season two of the reality show.

Jax - who split from his wife Brittany Cartwright in 2024 - told People: "The last thing in the world I want right now is for you guys to see what happened to me last year.

"But I gotta look at the silver lining, you know? I hope to help out somebody that's going through what I'm going through. I think men's mental health is kind of looked over. I want to share my story."

Jax recently opened up about his struggles with drug addiction, after checking himself into a treatment facility in September.

But Jax is still fearful of how he'll be portrayed in season two of 'The Valley'.

The reality star - who has also been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD - shared: "It's going to be bad. It's going to be really, really bad.

"But you got to remember, this was shot a year ago. Everyone's in a different place. Everything's different now, different relationships, different dynamics."

Jax previously admitted that he's been battling a cocaine addiction for more than 20 years.

He said on the 'Hot Mic' podcast: "I have substance issues - primarily with cocaine. It’s hard to say out loud. I’ve been dealing with this on and off since I was 23 and now I’m 45.

"There was times where I would stop doing it but then there were times where I’d go heavy on it.

"I just want to let people know this is a really, really tough disease and it’s a really tough sickness."

Brittany subsequently claimed that she spent years trying to help Jax to "get better".

She said on the 'When Reality Hits' podcast: "No one wants Jax to be better more than I do, let’s be real.

"I tried and tried and tried for years to help this man get better and for us to be a happy family, I was deeply and madly in love with him, there’s no one that can ever deny that."
