Reality star, Jax Taylor was arrested in Hawaii for trying to steal a pair of glasses at an expensive shop. For the first time, the star has spoken up regarding the issue, claiming it was just a "misunderstanding".
According to celebrity news group, TMZ, the model and bartender who works for Lisa Vanderpump's restaurant, was arrested in Honolulu, Hawaii. Reports state that the reality star tried to steal pricey Polaris sunglasses in a store in Honolulu. The star was arrested during a supposed vacation that he planned with girlfriend, Brittany Cartwright.
When asked about his arrest, the reality star seemed confident that he was innocent. When asked if his theft charge was all a misunderstanding, Taylor blurted out a chipper response.
"Oh one hundred percent," said Taylor to TMZ. In contrary, TMZ released a video that showed the reality star taking the sunglasses from the store.
The arrest, which will be featured in the show's next episode, shows how Cartwright found out about his boyfriend's run in with the law.
"This poor girl who thought she found the guy of her dreams, moves out to LA, and then boom: he's in jail," said Vanderpump Rules co-star, Scheana Marie, in front of the camera, as reported by Radar Online. Marie added that the act did not make "any sense" since the model-slash-bartender can easily afford the sunglasses that he apparently stole.
In the preview, the group tried to contact Taylor's mother and tell her about the arrest. The reality star's mother only had questions regarding the matter.
"I'm so distraught. I don't understand this young man, It's like what was in his head?" said Taylor's mother to Tom Schwartz over a phone call. In the preview, Cartwright reveals to the group that Taylor's bail is $11,000. Schwartz then seeks the help of a bondsman and tells the person that Taylor is his "boy", and that he will do anything for him.
"I mean $11 is f***ing ridiculous. So we have a matter of hours to come up with 11 grand, get him out of jail, get all our luggage, hop in an Uber, get to the airport and go to Third Eye Blind tomorrow," said Schaena Marie during the preview.
