A petition to ban Jax Taylor from television has been flooded with signatures.
Following an entire season of controversial behavior on The Valley, the troubled reality star apologized on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live for his actions, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Jax Must Go?
A petition is trying to get Taylor off television.
A few days after Taylor's appearance on WWHL, a Change.org petition was started on Tuesday titled, "Remove Jax Taylor from Television for Offensive Conduct."
The petition claimed: "Jax Taylor, a prominent figure in reality television, particularly known for his role in the popular series Vanderpump Rules, has repeatedly exhibited behavior that is deeply concerning and offensive. His actions have not only disrespected individuals and communities, but they also perpetuate harmful stereotypes, bullying, and negativity that have no place in today's progressive society. It is crucial that networks and producers take responsibility by disengaging from promoting such behavior."
The petition mentioned how Taylor has been involved in a handful of controversies over the years since skyrocketing to fame.
The post continued: "This kind of conduct sets a poor example for viewers and embodies values that are inconsistent with those of an inclusive and diverse media landscape."
The lengthy message explained how reality television should "entertain" viewers and not give a platform to those who display "offensive and harmless behavior."
It continued: "We call upon television networks to take a strong stand against this by firing Jax Taylor and ensuring future programming aligns with values of respect and integrity. By doing so, media influencers will understand that their words and actions have consequences, and a more respectful entertainment environment can begin to flourish."
The message concluded with requests for signatures.
