The Valley cast has called Jax Taylor many names over the years, but not everyone was aware of an alias he allegedly crafted himself: Frank Dremon.
On The Valley After Show for Season 2, Episode 10, Scheana Shay said she “forgot about” the secret identity, and Michelle Saniei admitted she was “behind” when producers asked their reaction to Frank Dremon. Enter Janet Caperna to explain: “Frank Dremon is Jax’s secret burner account on Instagram where he goes into the fan pages and defends himself.”
Of course, the cast, particularly Jax’s estranged wife Brittany Cartwright, was living for that piece of intel.
Who is Frank Dremon?
Frank Dremon is, allegedly, Jax Turner’s fake alias and burner account on Instagram.
When Vanderpump Rules‘ Lala Kent asked Brittany in the above After Show clip to clarify if Jax would use the Finsta “just to troll” her or to “slide into girls’ DMs,” Brittany detailed how her ex would allegedly comment on blog posts, offering some examples.
“He said, ‘Jax Taylor is the show,’ and he was like, ‘Who wouldn’t be mad if their wife was hooking up with their friend?'” she claimed. “Just saying, like, all kinds of crazy stuff.”
Janet, who confessed to having her own burner account, said that Jax broke a golden rule with his supposed fake account: “You never post. You never comment. It’s for looking only. It’s like at the strip club: You look, you don’t touch.”
Brittany Cartwright shares “proof” Jax Taylor has burner account
Brittany first made the reveal during The Valley‘s June 17 episode, claiming that Jax had been using the “@Frank_dremon_” burner account “for a very long time.”
How exactly did she know it was really Jax, though?
“He told me about it, that that was his account that he would go look at things,” she shared in a confessional. “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.”
While scrolling through her phone for receipts to show Janet, Brittany made another major discovery.
“He accidentally DMed me from it!” she exclaimed while erupting with laughter on the episode. “He said, ‘Please answer the phone, like I did for you.’ I’m dead. It’s, like, such proof that it’s him.”
After Janet declared she was “so second-hand embarrassed for him right now,” Brittany gleefully replied, “It’s just so funny.”Â
What else did Jax Taylor’s alleged burner account comments say?
Brittany offered way more of Jax’s – er, Frank’s — alleged IG comments in the episode, too.
For example, she pointed to a post that said that Jax was “ready to be the No.1 guy” in the group again.
“And he wrote, ‘He’s a legend’ about himself. And then somebody wrote back and said, ‘In his own mind,'” she informed Janet while jumping up and down. “It’s so cringey! I love it!”
Other defensive comments that flashed on the screen from the episode included references to Jax’s time in rehab, his and Brittany’s separation, and the show itself.
“It’s equally cringey and sad because he’s, like, sticking up for himself. I don’t even know what to do with this,” Janet added in a Season 2, Episode 10 confessional. “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, and … I don’t know how this legend looks at himself in the mirror.”
Jax Taylor reveals how he handles public criticism on Instagram
Though Jax didn’t directly comment on the Frank Dremon account on The Valley After Show, a producer asked how he was “handling the public dialogue” surrounding him and the show.
“I mean, obviously, I’ve been doing this for a long, long time. We all know how I dive into that s–t,” Jax responded, noting that he has a whole “Blocked by Jax” merch line on the way.
Even so, he admitted to letting social media comments ruin his day at times.
“I’ve got people sticking up for me. I’ve got people who don’t, and they’re, like, going to war with each other. It’s like, what is going on here?” he continued. “You can’t engage because that’s what they want you to do. That’s the hard part because I have a hard time … not engaging. I get phone calls literally multiple times a week: Jax, stop engaging. Stop talking. Stop responding.“
