Taylor, known for Vanderpump Rules and spinoff The Valley, will no longer be embarking on his In the Mind of a Man Live Tour this summer. News comes not long after the tour kicked off in Boston last month, but itโ€™s been confirmed the remainder of the tour will not be happening.

โ€œHis team cancelled the majority of the venues as they didnโ€™t feel the timing for this was appropriate,โ€ a source said. โ€œA couple of the venues cancelled on their own after getting heat from the public scrutiny.โ€

The cancellation is not so surprising, as Taylor has been showing off some intense behavior on The Valley towards his ex and son. He previously revealed that he hit rock bottom with his cocaine addiction, and was allegedly forced into treatment to keep his job. Ex Brittany Cartwright filed for divorce and their tense relationship has been at the center of The Valley.

In April, venues had quietly canceled certain dates of the podcast tour, including the first show in Nashville on April 18. His shows in Orlando, Tampa Bay, Houston, and Austin in May were also canceled. The tour did eventually begin in Boston on May 6, but once certain venues canceled their shows due to โ€œpressure from the public,โ€ Taylorโ€™s team decided to cancel the remainder of the tour, according to the insider. As of now, โ€œItโ€™s still to be determined whether or not the dates will be rescheduled.โ€

Amid the tour cancellation, Jax Taylorโ€™s behavior has also not been a good look for The Valley, which is in its second season. While itโ€™s too early to decide if thereโ€™s going to be a third season, a source told The U.S. Sun that the cast โ€œwill not be the same.โ€ And at this point, it doesnโ€™t seem very good for Taylor, but itโ€™s hard to tell.

“Itโ€™s too early to say how things will go next season, they still have a lot of this season to get through, but the ratings decline has been a big blow for the show,โ€ the source said. โ€œBetween that and the problematic behavior of Jax, the higher-ups are weighing the options over continuing with the trajectory it’s going in or regrouping. They don’t want to enable his behavior. Putting the show on pause isn’t off the table either. Theyโ€™re not sure it can continue with the current way itโ€™s going.โ€
