Jax Taylor<\/a> says it’s bittersweet to end his time working at Jax’s in Studio City … ’cause he doesn’t completely want to give it up — but, he has to for his mental health.<\/p>\n We caught up with the reality television star while workers were literally taking his name off the establishment … and, we asked him about how he feels to be giving the place up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Jax says they had a great run … but, he ultimately thinks he can’t get to where he wants to go and hold on to the bar — though he says he may want to host a few events there in the future when he does get his mind right, since his business partner Leo plans to keep the bar open … under a new name.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Leo also gets into the finer details about Jax’s decision … and, it seems the choice may have come to him rather suddenly.<\/p>\n Jax has similar feelings when it comes to the Bravo show “The Valley” … saying production on the program wouldn’t be productive for him — and, his priority is to rest, focus on his mental health and be a good father to his son.<\/p>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n Taylor says he didn’t handle filming the first season of “The Valley” well … and, he says he’s embarrassed by his actions — which is also part of the reason he’s stepping away. That said, Jax feels the show will be fine — possibly even better off — without him.<\/p>\n We broke the story … Jax is stepping away from the bar<\/a> as “a carefully considered and necessary step to prioritize his sobriety and mental health.”<\/p>\n![\"jax](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ff6d7df8c1c4428a940c696e23844bb9_md.jpg\")
