The Valley Season 2 focused on Jax Taylor entering a rehab facility for his mental health following an intense outburst between him and his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright. After spending 30 days in the inpatient facility, Jax returned to the show in Episode 10, but not everyone was excited to see him back.
As Brittany moves forward with the divorce process, she throws one final jab at Jax. Speaking to Janet Caperna in her kitchen, she revealed that Jax has a secret Instagram account which he uses to defend himself from online trolls. It’s both hilarious and sad at the same time. Fans may have even come across his burner account, which is under the pseudonym, Frank Dremon.
Brittany Cartwright Exposes Jax Taylor’s Secret Instagram Account On The Valley
If any Instagram user has come across the name Frank Dremon, they now know that it’s The Valley’s very own Jax Taylor in disguise. In Episode 10 of the Bravo show, Brittany Cartwright exposes her soon-to-be ex-husband for having a secret burner account where he mainly defends himself from all the hate he’s been receiving online.
Brittany revealed this information to co-star Janet Caperna in the June 17th episode. The former Vanderpump Rules star admitted that Jax had been using the Instagram handle “@Frank_dremon for a very long time.” In a confessional, Brittany shared how she knew that it was Jax who was hiding behind the alias:
“He told me about it, that that was his account that he would go look at things. 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.”
In fact, Brittany received more clarity that it was Jax after he had accidentally used the same burner account to DM her. “He accidentally DMed me from it!” she told Janet. “He said, ‘Please answer the phone, like I did for you.’ I’m dead. It’s, like, such proof that it’s him.'”
Brittany then used a recent example of Jax using his fake Instagram account. After a news headline read that he was “ready to be the No.1 guy,” he commented under the post as Frank, writing, “He’s a legend.” Brittany then hilariously shared, “And then somebody wrote back and said, ‘In his own mind,.’ “It’s so cringey! I love it!'”
The Cast Of The Valley React To Jax’s Secret Burner Account
On The Valley After Show, the cast were asked about Jax’s secret account. Surprisingly, it seemed that former VPR star Scheana Shay already knew about Frank, sharing, “Oh my God, I forgot about him.” When Michelle Saniei appeared confused about who exactly this Frank person was, Janet explained:
“Frank Dremon is Jax’s secret burner account on Instagram where he goes into the fan pages and defends himself.”
When Lala Kent asked Brittany if Jax would use his fake account to “troll you” or “slide into girls’ DMs,” Brittany stated that he would instead, use it to “talk about himself.” She even gave a few examples, noting that Jax would say things under blog posts like, “Jax Taylor is the show, and he was like, ‘Who wouldn’t be mad if their wife was hooking up with their friend?’ Just saying, like, all kinds of crazy stuff.'”
Interestingly, during Jax’s sit-down on the After Show, he wasn’t directly asked about his burner account. Instead, Jax, who was sitting next to Tom Schwartz and Jesse Lally, was asked how he handles all the criticism he’s been receiving from the public.
“I mean, obviously, I’ve been doing this for a long, long time. We all know how I dive into that s***,” he shared, adding that he is also in the process of making merch that reads, “Blocked by Jax.”
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.'”
Janet Caperna Reveals She Also Has A Burner Account
Jax isn’t the only one who likes to go undercover to see what people are saying about him online. On the After Show, Janet revealed that she also has a secret burner account, though she admits she’s much sneakier about how she uses it.
“I have a burner account,” she shares. “You look, you don’t touch,” she added, stating that she doesn’t leave comments or likes so that she will not be found out, like Jax has.
“If I’m blocked by somebody, or I have somebody blocked, I’ll go peek at their Stories. If you sent me something and it says “Story unavailable,” I’m like, ‘Oh, I have to go look at it from by burner.’ But you never post, you never comment. It’s for looking only,'” Janet said.
“It’s like at the strip club: you look, you don’t touch.”

During Episode 10, Janet shared in a confessional that she found what Jax was doing with his secret account like complimenting himself, was downright “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. 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,'” she said.
The hilarious moment of Jax having a secret account was a breath of fresh air after all the mess that has been happening in Season 2. Just a day before Jax was getting out of rehab, Brittany met with a divorce lawyer to discuss when she could file. She listed all of Jax’s wrongdoings that included spying on her and sending her “rage texts” even when he was inside the facility getting help. Brittany began the divorce process and while Jax was moving into his new condo, he was served with divorce papers.
“Getting these divorce papers, it’s devastating. We’re both so hurt and we hurt each other so much in the last couple of years. All the arguing and all the fighting and all the, ‘I’m gonna do this,’ and, ‘You’re gonna leave,’ and, ‘I’m gonna divorce,’ we don’t really have anything left,” Jax said in the episode.
