Jax Tayloris not happy with his longtime best friend and costarTom Sandoval.
OnTuesday’s episodeofVanderpump Rules, Sandoval confronted Taylor at Peter Madrigal’s birthday party about the Christian pastor he andBrittany Cartwrighthad asked to officiatetheir wedding, who, as it turns out, had posted about not supporting homosexuality on social media. WhenLisa Vanderpump— an outspoken advocate for gay rights — alerted the couple, they agreed to fire him, despite the fact that he was a family friend of Brittany’s.
After Sandoval accused Taylor and Cartwright of initially turning a blind eye to their pastor’s homophobic remarks, an explosive argument ensued. For the most part, the cast criticized Sandoval for dredging things up after their friends had fired him and moved on.
Taylor was especially upset with Sandoval and didn’t mince words on Twitter as the episode aired.
“It’s our wedding it’s our choice. Period. I don’t give a f— what anyone thinks,” hesaid. “We did what was right for Brittany and I. What Tom did was wrong, again, just like Stassi’s party, he had no tact. That’s the last I’ll say about this.”

That wasn’t the last he said, of course, as he went on to accuse Sandoval of drumming up drama for the show.
“Hey let’s wait till we have a party for poor Peter who just wants to have a good time, and the cameras are up to bring this up… you had all day to talk to me about this,” he said. “Purely ruined the party so you could get attention in my opinion.”
“Tom does things for tv so he looks good,” he added. “Period. You all live in a fantasy world.”
And he denied speculation that he only fired the pastor because Vanderpump had advised him to do so.
“@LisaVanderpump has zero to do with any decisions I have made,” he wrote. “I make my own decisions, I think I have earned that over 8 years.”
But, “it’s over and done with we had my good friend lance marry us it was amazing, end of story,” he added. (They couple tapped ‘NSYNC’sLance Bassto do the honors instead.)
Last but not least, Taylor took issue with Sandoval’s treatment of their other best friend, Tom Schwartz.
“A good friend/business partner? He constantly belittles Tom Schwartz and puts him down regarding his home, his marriage, how he handles business, but yeah he’s a good friend?” he wrote. “Are we watching the same show?”
And as forTomTom, the Los Angeles bar and restaurant Sandoval and Schwartz opened with Vanderpump and her husband Ken Todd?
“It’s an absolute joke. He doesn’t own s—,” Tayloralleged. “Lisa and Ken make the decisions.”
“I just feel like it’s dangerous to have a group of friends where people are not allowed to speak up when they feel like something’s wrong,” he said. “It just pissed me off that Jax wasn’t standing up for his friends, for my friends, for the community that we’re a part of.”
