AceShowbiz - Jax Taylor, best known for his role in "The Valley," opens up about his plastic surgeries. On the March 26 edition of his "In the Mind of a Man" podcast, he tackled a fan-submitted question head-on.
"Did you have to get all those nose jobs because of your cocaine use?" a fan asked. His response was straightforward, "No. I didn't like the way my nose was. I really didn't. I wanted a nose job years and years ago but I couldn't afford it."
Taylor shared that his family all have "the same nose," and given the opportunity, he decided to undergo surgery. The first procedure was out of personal desire, but the second was due to an accident.
"I walked into a window," a moment that was detailed on "Vanderpump Rules." The unfortunate incident occurred at a G-Star store on Melrose Avenue, resulting in a broken nose and a necessary second surgery.
Earlier this month, Taylor publicly discussed his battle with cocaine addiction on Bravo's "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," he revealed.
Taylor also noted that while he doesn't necessarily think he has an alcohol problem, "I can't do cocaine without drinking. So I just gave up both."
In July 2024, Taylor checked into an inpatient mental health facility and was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD. Despite the challenges, Taylor expressed that admitting his addiction has been a significant relief.
"Sharing that I have an addiction [and] that I have a sickness that I have to work on for the rest of my life is a really big deal for me," Taylor added. "It's a huge weight lifted off my shoulders."
