LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Vanderpump Rules' star Jax Taylor is apparently very particular about his on-air comfort as he is reported to have caused a two-and-a-half hour delay onboard a JetBlue flight from New York to Los Angeles, as per Page Six.
According to sources, the flight was already on the runway when it was turned around following complaints from Jax about his airplane seat not fitting in with his standards.
“It made the plane two-and-a-half hours late because they were already on the runway, and it was raining,” said a steamed source who added that buzz aboard the plane was that the reality star was having a fit over his seat not reclining.
Jax Taylor's rep claims the flight delay 'wasn't his fault'
Jax's representative, in his defense, has stated that the reality TV star couldn't be blamed for the malfunctioning seat and that he didn't have an attitude problem that knowingly or unknowingly might have caused the severe delay.
“The plane did not come back [to the gate] due to any uproar,” said the rep as per the source outlet.
Further adding, “His seat was in the bed position in first class, and the plane is unable to take off if it is not upright. He was not able to sit in that seat. It was not working. It was not his fault that the seat wouldn’t move from the bed position.”
International passengers on the flight were nonetheless inconvenienced by the delay because they had to rush to get to their next planes and make connections.
According to a source who opened up to Page Six, “There were 13 passengers going to Singapore and China who had to rush off the plane. They had, like, an hour to deplane and get to the other terminal before the doors closed.”
The flyer reportedly told the outlet that it was initially unclear what the hubbub was all about. They added, “People were upset, but not like rioting, just frustrated and gossiping when we returned and parked at the gate.”
