Taylor, 40, and Sandoval, 36, have been friends for close to 20 years, but the “Vanderpump Rules” stars’ relationship began to torpedo this season on the hit Bravo show — and despite gifting Taylor with an autographed Randy Jackson sword for his birthday, it wasn’t enough to to keep Sandoval feeling safe and secure with one of his former best friends.

During an interview on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” on Tuesday, Sandoval admitted he doesn’t like to confide in Taylor because he uses it as “leverage.”

Prompting Sandoval and his girlfriend, Ariana Madix, Cohen asked a fan’s question, “Why do they think Jax is insecure about Tom and Ariana’s relationship? Do they feel it’s because it’s not a traditional relationship or just because he has a beef with Tom and he likes to take it out on Ariana?”

Madix began, “I think that whatever is issue is, I hope [Taylor] goes and gets help for it.”

Sandoval added, “I think Jax just looks for dirt in order to throw it around cause he gets bored or whatever. I mean, I don’t really tell him things anyways cause he’s never really been a safe place. I mean it’s always leverage against you. He’ll bring it up even if he’s just bored in a conversation.”

Taylor, who’s beef with Sandoval goes back to 2014 after it was revealed he slept with Sandoval’s then-girlfriend, Kristen Doute, hasn’t responded to his co-stars newest dig, but it’s only a matter of time before the two start fighting on social media again.
