Everything You Need to Know About ‘Summer House' Season 10
Summer House has become a reality TV staple since it first aired on Bravo in 2017. No, seriously—it's joined the ranks of the Real Housewives and Vanderpump Rules franchises on the beloved network, making household names of stars like Lindsay Hubbard and Ciara Miller. The series has even helped Kyle Cooke's beverage biz, Loverboy, reach new heights thanks to everyone drinking it on camera. The show has been on for eight years, and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon as it gears up for its 10th season. Though multiple cast members are exiting the series after spending the last few years on our screens (looking @ you, Paige DeSorbo and Lexi Wood), the gang is still planning to hit up the Hamptons for all their parties this summer. Ahead, find all the details on Summer House season 10, from casting news to its potential filming schedule. Historically, filming for the fan-favorite Bravo series begins filming every year around July 4. According to reports from Just Jared and Page Six, production is on track as it started in early July. Buckle up, because while most of the cast make their way back to the Hamptons, some are seeing themselves out. Paige, who's been on the show for seven seasons, announced her exit on the show with an Instagram Stories post on June 5, writing, 'Being part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life—the friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable. You've seen me grow up over these last 7 summers. I'll always be grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it's time for this chapter to close.' Season 9 newbies Lexi and Imrul Hassan won't be coming back, either. Lexi opted out after her drama with Jesse Solomon and Ciara Miller, according to an announcement she posted to her Instagram Stories in June. Imrul also told fans he would be exiting the show with his own IG Stories statement, where he thanked them for supporting his charity work. We can expect Jesse, Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula, Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, Jesse Solomon, and West Wilson to keep throwing parties all summer. Ciara and Gabby Prescod have yet to confirm whether they're joining them. While nothing has been announced about new cast members just yet, fans are already theorizing about potential additions since Paige, Lexi, and Imrul are now out of the picture. According to a fan-made Reddit thread for the show, current casting rumors include three New Yorkers who are in the fashion and nightlife scenes. Right now, the names floating around are Levi Sebree, Bailey Taylor, KJ Dillard, and JJ Wakim. This is all purely based on speculation and some fans' social media sleuthing, so take it with a grain of salt. Here's a TL;DR on these folks: Levi works in events, Bailey hosts a social-first series and podcast called It Girl, JJ just received a doctorate and is exploring a healthcare career, and KJ is reportedly Instagram mutuals with West. Some even noted that several Summer House cast members follow them. Of course, we'll be updating this post with any official casting news. Allow us to catch you up to speed ahead of the show's big return. The season 9 finale was all about relationships ending and finding new beginnings, as Lexi and Jesse's summer romance fizzled out and Paige split with her boyfriend of three years, Craig Conover. Lindsay also welcomed her baby girl, Gemma, in the final episode.

Jax Taylor Is Leaving ‘The Valley' After Two Seasons
The Valley will be down one original cast member when it returns for a season 3. On Wednesday, July 16, Jax Taylor confirmed that he is leaving Bravo's The Valley after two seasons on the reality TV show. News of Jax's departure isn't too surprising. The last two seasons of the show have followed his struggle with alcohol abuse and mental health struggles—two things he says he wants to focus on. 'After an incredibly challenging year and many honest conversations with my team and producers, I'll be stepping away from the next season of The Valley,' Jax said in a statement to Us Weekly. 'Right now, my focus needs to be on my sobriety, my mental health, and coparenting relationship.' He added, 'Taking this time is necessary for me to become the best version of myself—especially for our son Cruz.' Jax has been on Bravo for over a decade, since he made his reality TV debut on Vanderpump Rules in 2013. He left the show in 2020, got married to fellow Vanderpump Rules star Brittany Cartwright, welcomed a son, Cruz, and returned to television in 2024 with The Valley. His erratic behavior raised eyebrows among fans for years, but it wasn't until September of 2024—when he checked into an in-patient facility—that things began to get more serious. At the time, he told fans that he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD. In March of 2025, he revealed that he was an addict and struggled with 'substance issues,' particularly involving cocaine, for two decades. Jax's issues contributed to the end of his marriage, and it's all been documented on The Valley. In fact, season 2 began with Jax checked into a mental health facility after an alleged violent outburst at Brittany's house. As the season has continued, fans have watched Jax and Brittany fight over their son—with Jax showing increasingly volatile behavior—and some have even called on Bravo to fire Jax. Jax may be leaving the show before season 3, but the current season isn't over yet—The Valley season 2 finale airs on July 22. And Jax has already been confirmed to appear in the reunion, which was filmed in May.

Jax Taylor steps away from ‘The Valley' season 3
Jax Taylor has confirmed that he will not return for Season 3 of The Valley, citing his need to focus on his recovery and mental health. In a statement shared with Variety, Taylor explained that after a challenging year and numerous conversations with his team and the show's producers, he had made the decision to step away from the Bravo series. 'I'll be stepping away from the next season of 'The Valley.' Right now, my focus needs to be on my sobriety, my mental health, and coparenting relationship,' Taylor shared. He added that taking this time was necessary for him to improve and become a better version of himself, particularly for the sake of his son, Cruz. Taylor, who recently turned 46, had been open about his battle with addiction, revealing in March that he had struggled with cocaine use for over two decades. His decision to step back from the show may also be seen as a way to avoid possible termination and leave room for a potential return in future seasons. The decision comes after a tumultuous Season 2 of The Valley, which aired its finale on July 22, followed by reunion episodes. Taylor's violent outburst in July 2024, in which he injured his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, and had a confrontation with production, was a key storyline of the season. Cartwright, who had separated from Taylor earlier that year, reported the incident, prompting Taylor to seek treatment at a mental health facility. Despite his time in the facility, Taylor's behavior continued to raise concerns, including aggressive text messages to Cartwright and an obsessive attitude toward her. Bravo's fanbase, already vocal about their discomfort with Taylor's behavior, has called for his permanent removal from the show. This sentiment was amplified on social media, with some viewers accusing Bravo of tolerating toxic behavior for the sake of ratings. In addition to his struggles on The Valley, Taylor's past behavior also led to his ousting from Vanderpump Rules after Season 8. Despite this, Taylor, along with Cartwright and other former Vanderpump Rules cast members, returned in 2023 to contribute to the popular Scandoval narrative. However, unlike others, Taylor did not appear to show remorse for his past actions, further alienating fans. As The Valley continues into its second season, Taylor's absence has been felt, and some cast members have suggested that the show has been fine without him. The Valley producer Alex Baskin previously stated that Taylor's recovery was a personal decision, and the future of his involvement with Bravo remains uncertain.

Jax Taylor will not return for ‘The Valley' in order to focus on sobriety and mental health
Jax Taylor, who has been a mainstay on Bravo reality television for over a decade, will not return for Season 3 of 'The Valley' to focus on his sobriety and mental health. "After an incredibly challenging year and many honest conversations with my team and producers, I'll be stepping away from the next season of 'The Valley,'" Taylor said in a statement provided by his representatives to NBC News. "Right now, my focus needs to be on my sobriety, my mental health, and coparenting relationship," Taylor said. "Taking this time is necessary for me to become the best version of myself — especially for our son, Cruz." US Weekly first reported Taylor's departure. Ahead of the Season 2 premiere in April, Taylor revealed his on-and-off battle with cocaine addiction for more than two decades. The ongoing journey with sobriety and mental health has been a significant plotline of the current season of "The Valley" for the 46-year-old, as well as the fallout of his split with Brittany Cartwright, with whom he shares a 3-year-old son, Cruz. Taylor's behavior throughout Season 2 has spurred concern from fans, including a heated on-camera argument with Cartright before he checked himself into a mental health treatment facility. While at the facility, Cartwright and the other castmates received angry texts from Taylor. "I don't even recognize who you are anymore," Cartwright said during the argument before Taylor's departure to the treatment center. "Jax, you scared me!" Representatives for Taylor did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bravo said they had no comment. Taylor's decision to leave 'The Valley' is not the first time the reality TV star has left a Bravo show due to his conduct. After eight seasons on 'Vanderpump Rules,' where Taylor was known for his brash and toxic behavior, he was ousted from the reality show. Cartwright, who was pregnant at the time, also did not return for Season 9 of 'Vanderpump Rules.' "The last 8 years on Vanderpump Rules have been some of the most challenging, rewarding and fulfilling years of my life," Taylor said in a December 2020 post on Instagram alongside photos from his time on the show. "Although this is difficult to share, Brittany and I will not be returning for another season of Vanderpump Rules. We are excited to take this time to focus on our growing family and share with you our new endeavors.' "Thank you to all the fans who have shared our journey with us and supported us through everything. We love you," he added at the time. Cartwright ultimately filed for divorce in 2024 while filming Season 2 of "The Valley," citing 'irreconcilable differences.' The Season 2 finale is set to air on July 22 on Bravo. Taylor is set to appear at the show's reunion.

Why VPR 's Scheana Shay Says Husband Brock Davies' Affair Was "Karma"
Originally appeared on E! Online is getting candid about one of the worst times of her life. In fact, days after revealing her husband Brock Davies cheated on her in 2020 while she was pregnant with their daughter Summer Moon, the Vanderpump Rules alum shared why his infidelity felt like payback for her own 2006 affair with Eddie Cibrian. "It really felt like I got my karma," Scheana told Us Weekly in an interview published July 16. "Did I deserve for [Brock to cheat on me]? No, but I told myself that I did." And more than four years later, the "Good as Gold" singer admitted her and Brock's relationship still isn't 100 percent healed. "It takes work every single day," the 40-year-old told the outlet. "I will forever have insecurities. Just the other day, I saw him swipe and delete a text, and I'm like, 'What was that?' And he's like, 'Seriously, Scheana?' But I genuinely believe he would never do anything like that again. I do trust him. I have forgiven him." Plus, Scheana added, "We've put in the work in couples therapy. We have a very open line of communication. I want to show people that if you truly love someone, a mistake from their past doesn't have to define the future of your relationship." As for why Scheana finally decided to open up about Brock's past betrayal for the first time publicly in her new memoir My Good Side? "After several therapy sessions and really talking about it," she noted, "we decided that this book would be inauthentic if we didn't put it all in." Plus, Scheana is ready to fully stand in her truth. 'I have a voice, and I want to use it," she said. "I am extremely proud of the woman I've become. I am not that 21-year-old girl chasing boys around clubs anymore.' Read more juicy stories from Scheana when My Good Side comes out July 22 anywhere books are sold.

"I have worn this scarlet letter for so long," she reflected. "I'm this 'home-wrecking whore' every day in the comments. He's the one who lied. He is the one who cheated. He is the home-wrecker. I don't want to say I was innocent, but I was lied to by a 33-year-old man when I was 21, fresh out of college. I feel like people tend to forget that." However, the Bravo alum added, "Looking back, were there red flags? Absolutely. I was leading with my heart and not my brain."
