Jax Taylor is having the last laugh after rumors swirled about him being at fault for a recent flight getting delayed.
Taylor, aged 44, took to Instagram on Monday, October 9th, to share a photo from his comfortable first-class seat on United Airlines. In the caption of the post, he expressed his relief that his seat was functioning properly and tagged Page Six.
Earlier this week, it was reported by the outlet that Taylor's flight from New York City to Los Angeles was delayed as the JetBlue plane had to turn back on the runway. According to the outlet, some passengers were unhappy that Taylor's malfunctioning seat caused them to be late for their connecting flights. A few passengers even criticized Taylor on social media, but his representative denied any responsibility for the delay.
According to a statement released on Sunday, October 8, the plane did not return to the gate due to any disturbance. It was clarified that the passenger's seat, located in first class, was stuck in the reclined position, preventing the plane from taking off. This was not the passenger's fault, as the seat was not functioning properly.
Despite these events, the reality star remains unaffected and is currently busy promoting his upcoming appearance on E!'s House of Villains. This series, set to premiere on Thursday, October 12, brings together an infamous cast from various shows like Survivor, Vanderpump Rules, and The Bachelor.
The contestants are vying for a cash prize of $200,000 and the prestigious title of "America's Ultimate Supervillain." Despite the intense competition, certain renowned TV villains, such as Taylor, surprisingly forged friendships during the show.
According to Omarosa Manigault Newman, a fellow contestant, she exclusively revealed to us that she formed a strong connection with both Taylor and Anfisa Arkhipchenko.
“I am incredibly fortunate as I have not formed strong bonds with the cast members in the past. However, this time I have been blessed with two remarkable roommates. And I honestly mean it when I say that, even though they are right here with me," revealed Omarosa, 49, during a joint interview. "I truly lucked out with both of them. They are not only fantastic roommates but also wonderful friends. Additionally, Jax now has two incredible sisters whom he cannot seem to escape. It was truly a fantastic experience to finally connect with people on a deeper level.”
