The Valley’s Jax Taylor claimed Katie Maloney is “Ariana’s accessory,” slammed her as a “miserable human being,” and revealed he’s starting two new bars, saying, “I could be the next Lisa Vanderpump.”
In a recent interview for Watch What Happens Live, Katie alleged Jax’s bar is just a “bonus room” to Rocco’s.
“Katie is an accessory,” said Jax to The Daily Dish, responding to Katie’s shade. “She was Stassi’s accessory. Now, she’s Ariana’s accessory.”
He then addressed her diss concerning Rocco’s.
“It’s attached … all bars are attached to something, but yeah, it’s attached,” said Jax. “Isn’t Pump attached to TomTom? It’s the same thing.”
The star also mentioned Katie’s Something About Her sandwich shop with Ariana.
“They’ve been subletting that place for the last year, so they’re gonna have to charge at least $50 a sandwich just to make any profit in my eyes,” he stated. “Katie’s just a miserable human being.”
Jax revealed he’s starting two more bars, and his current sports bar is doing “very, very well.”
“We’re opening, actually, two more locations — one in California and one is out of state,” he shared with the outlet. “I can’t say exactly where, but yeah. We’re really excited.”
According to the star, it “would be great” to own an establishment like Lisa’s.
“I hope The Valley can follow more of Jax’s Studio City,” he explained. “I mean, that’s kind of the dream, right? I could be the next Lisa Vanderpump.”
“[The bar is] doing so well, and I’m so happy for the bar; I’m so happy for the employees. Everyone is having a good time,” Jax added. “It’s a dream come true to have a bar, especially a sports bar, ’cause I’m such a sports guy, so yeah. It’s doing really well. We’re happy about it.”
He was asked if the new establishments would have the same vibe as the first.
“Yeah, I’m going to keep the same,” he answered. “I like the lounge, sports bar. It’s a little bit for everybody.”
