Jax Taylor, Danny Booko. Koury Angelo/Bravo (2)
Jax Taylor is ready to put Danny Bookos relationship with alcohol in the hot seat.
During the Tuesday, June 17, episode of The Valley , the guys came together for a dinner in celebration of Jax completing 30 days in a mental health treatment facility.
But before the food even hit the table, Jax and Jason Caperna questioned if Danny has a problem with booze.
Being around a person who is going to get blasted, lie about their alcohol consumption and gaslight is just a dangerous person to be around, Jason shared in a confessional. You want to act like youre better than Jax but I drove Jax to a mental health facility. I should be driving you to a mental health facility it seems like.
Jax Taylor is taking a break from the highs and lows that come with social media. Ive made the decision to stay off social media for the next while to prioritize my mental health and recovery, Taylor, 45, wrote via his Instagram Story on Thursday, June 5. My team will be running it for the [&] During dinner, Jax spoke directly to Dannys face and shared his perspective on what hes seen and heard about his costar.
You do have an issue with it and Im the last person that should be telling you about whatever, Jax said. You have been kicked out of my bar a couple of times for these kind of things.

Danny, however, strongly denied any speculation that he has a drinking problem.
I dont have an issue, he told the group. This isnt ruining my life. I rarely even drink.
In a confessional interview, Danny began to question if he was hanging around the right group of friends.
My problem isnt drinking or having too much to drink. Its people that I consider friends that are attacking me for things that didnt even happen, Danny said. Im starting to see who my real friends are at this table and unfortunately, its not Jason and its for sure not Jax.
Previously this season, Danny denied blacking out during a cast trip to Santa Barbara, California. He also said he was not even close to being blacked out at a party for Brittany Cartwright at Jaxs bar.
Jax Taylor appears ready to own up to some of his bad behavior. During the Tuesday, June 3, episode of The Valley, the reality star took a break from working on himself at an in-patient treatment facility to check in with costar Jason Caperna. Im so tired of anger. Im so tired of yelling, Jax, [&] Jax, who has since opened up about his own struggles with addiction , later revealed in the episode that having someone else under the microscope is a nice change.
Im just so happy that other people have issues too, he said in a confessional. Its not just Jax. All the heat has been on me and its just nice to just take a little bit of a break. Thanks, Danny.
The Valley airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. Stream old episodes anytime via Peacock.
