Vanderpump Rules’ Billie Lee says she ‘won’t stop’ speaking out until Jax Taylor is FIRED after transphobia claims
VANDERPUMP Rules star Billie Lee has called on Bravo to fire Jax Taylor, insisting she will “not stop” posting on social media until he is gone.
Hours after Bravo fired Stassi Schroeder, 31, and Kristen Doute, 37, for accusations of past racist behavior, Billie Lee accused Jax of “refusing to film” with her because she’s transgender.
Now, she has doubled down on her comments, taking to Instagram to share screengrabs of the stories, and sharing a petition that calls for Bravo to fire the reality star.
Bravo declined to comment.
On Tuesday, Billie, 36, tweeted at the network: “What about Jax Taylor?”
“He refused to film with me because I was trans and called him out on his white cis privilege,” she claimed.
“Stop celebrating his disgusting actions,” she fired off along with a “cancel Jax Taylor” hashtag.
Production insiders have revealed that Jax and Billie did film certain scenes together throughout their time on the show.
In August 2019, Billie told In Touch that when she first joined season six of Vanderpump Rules, the cast told her not to talk to Jax.
“When it comes to Jax, there were some things that I overheard him say off-camera that I thought was very alarming,” she said to the magazine.
The reality star said she initially wanted to “inspire” him to “be a better person.”
“I really tried to have that moment with Jax but then I did realize he’s just an awful person,” she fired off.
Billie further accused her castmates of questionable behavior.
“I do feel that there is some very self-involved individuals, and those self-involved people can be also ignorant which is completely different than being transphobic.
“Now is the opportunity to take your head out of your own a** and say, ‘Wow, we have someone representing – we have a minority representing a very small community that’s under attack, let’s make sure we include her.’
“I feel like the cast failed in that way,” she claimed.
Her accuations come after Schroeder and Doute, along with new members Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni, were fired by the network after seven years on the show.
The pair were accused by Faith Stowers of racially profiling her back in 2018 after they reported her to the police for a crime she didn’t commit.
The former SUR employee detailed their ‘attack’ on her to Floribama Shore star Candace Rice on Instagram Live.
“Racially insensitive comments from my past have resurfaced. It is important that I continue to take accountability for what I have said and done while pushing myself to do better,” Schroeder shared with her 2.1million Instagram followers following Faith’s story.
“I have grown significantly from the person I was then, and I am still filled with remorse and regret for the hurt I caused. I am grateful for the people in my life that continue to check me and push me to evolve into a more educated person.”
Schroeder has not only been axed by Bravo, but also been dropped by her sponsor, publicist, and agent. Vitamin startup Ritual and shaving brand Billie have let go of her as their ambassador.
