Vanderpump Rules star Peter Madrigal is slamming Jax Taylor for his “hypocritical” comments while discussing “Scandoval,” and he’s calling out the former reality star for “chiming in” and bashing Tom Sandoval for his actions despite his own cheating past.
Peter recalled how Jax infamously cheated on both his former girlfriend, Stassi Schroeder, and also his wife, Brittany Cartwright.
“I think it’s a little hypocritical. From where I’m standing, I’ve never cheated on anybody, so I can say something on it. But there’s a lot of people that will chime in and say certain things and I’m like, okay, pot calling the kettle black comes to mind,” Peter said while appearing on Hollywood Life’s Pay Attention Puh-Lease! podcast.
Jax has recently called Sandoval “evil,” and he claimed he lacked “manhood” while also saying he would have “murdered” Sandoval and Raquel Leviss had he been in Ariana Madix’s shoes. He added that Raquel and Sandoval “deserve everything that’s coming to them.”
While discussing Jax on the podcast, Peter asserted that Jax likes to become involved in matters that don’t concern him. The SUR manager hypothesizes it’s all for attention.
“Jax likes to chime in every now and then. Especially now, but it’s like dude, he has no frame of reference. He hasn’t talked to Sandoval in years. He doesn’t know Rachel (Raquel). And now they’re trying to get him to chime in. It’s like, dude, come on,” he stated.
Elsewhere in the interview, Peter slammed Raquel for allegedly “using” him to distract from and hide her “illicit” months-long affair with Sandoval. The two briefly dated in earlier episodes this season. Peter took to the podcast and referred to Raquel (who he would only refer to as Rachel throughout the interview) as a “totally different person” than he thought she was.
“She’s a very manipulative person who kept everything ‘very secret’ and that’s not someone I want to be associated with,” he said. “This is not the same person. Someone like this, who you think is a nice person, and turns out to be completely different.”
Peter didn’t hold back, alleging that he believes Raquel manipulated and hooked up with James Kennedy just to get on Vanderpump Rules.
“She got with James Kennedy just to be on the show. She got what she wanted,” he said.
As for the highly teased brawl that broke out at the Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion, Peter’s theory on who was involved was confirmed.
“I heard there was a fight that broke out. You guys think it’s [between] Tom [Sandoval] and Tom [Schwartz]. I think it was James and someone else.”
Peter explained that it “wouldn’t surprise” him at all if James were involved.
The conclusion of the three-part Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion airs Wednesday, June 7, at 9/8c on Bravo.
