Dayna Kathan Calls Jax Taylor's Comment About Ariana Madix's Sexuality a "Below-the-Belt Dig"

The Vanderpump Rules newbie, who also came out as bisexual on the show, comes to her friend's defense.

By Laura Rosenfeld

Jax Taylor has been vocal about Ariana Madix's sexuality as of late, both this season of Vanderpump Rules and during his appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in January. After Ariana came out as bisexual last season of Vanderpump Rules, Jax has made comments questioning her relationship with Tom Sandoval.

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.  

Among the Vanderpump Rules crew, Jax's statements have particularly struck a chord with Dayna Kathan, who has also been open about her bisexuality on the show. "I mean, I don't think anyone should be bringing up someone's sexuality in a negative connotation," Dayna said of Jax's comments during her appearance on WWHL on March 3 (clip below). "I don't think Ariana's wishy-washy; I think she knows who she is, and I think that's a below-the-belt dig."

Ariana and Dayna have bonded over being "bi sisters" this season of Vanderpump Rules, sharing how excited they were to be celebrating their first Pride where they were publicly out (clip above). "I feel better now that people know because I'm living more truthfully," Ariana said in the episode.

Dayna also shared in the episode, "I just feel so much lighter now that that's out there."

Ariana previously explained her bisexuality loud and clear after Jax commented on it on WWHL at the beginning of this year. "I DO like women AND men," she tweeted on January 7.

She later expanded upon her response to Jax during an appearance on WWHL on January 28 (clip below). "I thought it was really gross. I also thought it didn't make any sense on any level," Ariana said. "Also, I've been very open and honest about the fact that I'm bisexual and I don't think that that's an issue. And it's certainly not an issue in my relationship, so I think he should just chill out."
