Jax Taylor put Lala Kent‘s controversial ex-fiancé Randall Emmett on blast.
Taylor, along with Tom Sandoval, appeared on Tuesday night’s (May 7) episode of Watch What Happens Live, where one virtual fan asked The Valley star about the last time he spoke to his once-close pal Emmett.
“That guy is — I can’t think of a bigger scumbag in the world than that guy,” Taylor said during the After Show. “The stuff he’s done to Lala, the stuff he put her through, the stuff he’s put me through — I haven’t spoken to him. He won’t return my calls. He owes me money amongst everybody else in the world.”
When host Andy Cohen asked Taylor how much Emmett owed him, he said, “$75,000.”
Taylor continued, “It was a loan. Not an investment. Because I had done four of them with him. This was the last one. This was the fifth one. He paid the others off but he didn’t pay this one off.”
This isn’t the first time Taylor has opened up about his feud with Emmett. He explained exactly why he gave Emmett money in a May 2023 episode of his and Brittany Cartwright‘s When Reality Hits podcast.
“Randall and I had a deal where I would invest in movies with him,” he said, per Us Weekly. “They were bridge loans, and I would get a producer credit. I invest in the movie, I wait until the movie airs and then I would get my money back. There’s really no losing in this, it’s a pretty easy thing.”
However, Taylor claimed at the time that Emmett made up a “bullshit excuse” about where the money had gone.
Emmett, who split from Kent in 2021 amid allegations that he was cheating, later shared his side of the story on his It’s a Racquet podcast, claiming Taylor invested $300,000 in one of his films and lost $75,000 when the project “fell apart.”
“He then went on and started threatening me that if I didn’t pay him the balance back — me personally, not the company that took the money for a project — that he was gonna out me publicly and this and that,” he said in August 2023, adding, “I wanted to get his balance of $75,000 back, but I don’t owe him that personally.”
Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
