Jax Taylor Revealed the Inspiration Behind the Name of His Embarrassing Burner Account
On The Valley season two reunion, Jax Taylor confirmed something that his castmates and viewers already knew: he has been using a burner account to post about himself. This season has not been good for Taylor. Very few fans were on his side, and many called for his firing. As a result, he started posting in his own defense. He explained how he chose the name Frank Dremon.
Brittany Cartwright exposed Jax Taylor’s burner account on ‘The Valley’
In a season two episode of The Valley, Taylor’s estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, revealed he’d been posting about himself using a burner account. The account is under the name Frank Dremon.
“He told me about it, that that was his account that he would go look at things,” she said. “I don’t know if he forgot that I knew about it, but underneath all these posts, all of a sudden, I see Frank Dremon.”
She said he’d been using it for a “very long time” and once even accidentally DM’d her from it. Cast member Janet Caperna found this painfully cringey.
“It’s equally cringey and sad because he’s like sticking up for himself. I don’t even know what to do with this,” Caperna said. “You know Jax is also on the toilet. He’s sitting on his toilet being like, ‘He’s a legend.’ It’s like, ‘Jax, when you’re done, look in the mirror as you’re washing your hands hopefully.’ I don’t know how this legend looks at himself in the mirror.”
Jax Taylor shared the inspiration behind the name for his burner account
When asked about the account on the season two reunion, Taylor admitted to being Frank Dremon.
“It’s my burner account, yeah,” he told host Andy Cohen.
Per Bravo’s The Daily Dish, Taylor then corrected Cohen’s pronunciation of Dremon. He explained that the name was inspired by Frank Drebin, Leslie Nielsen’s character in the Naked Gun films and Police Squad series.
When asked if he still relied on his alter ego, Taylor denied it.
“No,” he said. “I haven’t used that in a long while, actually.”
What kind of comments did he make as Frank Dremon?
On The Valley and the season two reunion, people provided examples of the type of comments Taylor made as Frank Dremon.
“So, it’s underneath the thing that’s like, ‘Jax Taylor Ready to Be the No. 1 Guy in the Group,’ and he wrote, ‘He’s a legend,’ about himself,” Cartwright said. “And then somebody wrote back and said, ‘In his own mind.’”
Taylor commented about his impending divorce from Cartwright, saying, “People literally separate everyday, reality stars are know [sic] different.”
During the reunion, Cohen reminded Taylor, “You commented on some post about you and said, ‘Jax is the man.'”
Cartwright also shared examples like “Jax is the show,” “What man wouldn’t feel this way?” and “He is the legend.”
While Taylor’s castmates have described the posts as cringey, he doesn’t see why he should feel embarrassed by them.
“It’s not a big deal,” he told Cohen.
