Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright left Vanderpump Rules because they were fired from the show. They announced their exit in December 2020, after Bravo also fired four other cast members for past racially insensitive comments. The exact official reason for Jax and Brittany's firing was not publicly revealed, but it was widely believed to be due to a combination of factors including Jax's history of problematic behavior such as cheating scandals, poor treatment of women, controversial comments, and being difficult on set. They were also reportedly demanding about what footage was shown and had conflicts with production. Jax himself admitted to "micromanaging" production and causing problems toward the end of their tenure, which contributed to his firing. Brittany and Jax both said they were ready to focus on their growing family and new endeavors after leaving the series.
In summary, their departure was not a voluntary quit but rather a network decision influenced by their behavior and tensions behind the scenes.
