'Vanderpump Rules' Newbie Sees The Good In Jax Taylor
Jax Taylor may be the unofficial villain of Vanderpump Rules season 6, but he has won over at least one of his costars in recent months.
In a new interview, Billie Lee, the newest hostess of SUR Restaurant, is speaking out about Taylor and revealed why she immediately took a liking to him after joining the staff at the West Hollywood, California, restaurant months before filming on season 6 began.
“For me, he has this great magnetic energy and soul and I think that’s what’s relatable and that’s why people are drawn to him. He has a great personality and he’s funny and he’s great and he makes sure you’re taken care of [when you’re out together]. I love hanging out with him,” Lee explained to Page Six on Feb. 8.
Lee went on to reveal that she enjoys spending time with Taylor and his girlfriend, Brittany Cartwright, and said he was extremely nice to her when she first got hired at SUR Restaurant. As she explained, Taylor always started conversations with her and let her know that he was truly interested in her experience as a transgender person.
Taylor and Lee have filmed scenes for Vanderpump Rules together, and judging by their time with each other on screen, Taylor is just as much a fan of Lee as she is of him. As for the rest of the cast, Lee said that while no one gave her a hard time during production on season 6, she didn't always jive well with Stassi Schroeder. In fact, she told Page Six that she and Schroeder were faced with drama throughout the season.
As fans saw earlier this week, Lee and Schroeder appeared to hit it off well when they met up to film Schroeder's Podcast, Straight Up With Stassi, and discuss Lee's transition. However, prior to their meet-up, Ariana Madix warned Lee that Schroeder had made some noninclusive statements in the past.
“I just always encourage her to have an open mind and have an open heart and use her platform and her podcast to have these conversations and to educate and inspire people and not just talk about stupid gossip," Lee said.
To see more of Billie Lee and her costars, tune in to Vanderpump Rules season 6 on Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo TV.
