While Jax still filmed season 13 after the attacks he received on social media, the teen decided that this lifestyle no longer suits him.

“I always leave it up to them every season,” the mom of three shared referring to Jax and his twin brother Jaid.

“When that happened with Jax, it blew my mind, because nobody deserves it. Nobody’s kids deserve it. But I thought, you know, he’s doing this because of me and it’s our family. And it was his first week of high school,” Beauvais recalled. “And for him to be subjected to such ugliness and such, it was just horrible. It was horrible.”

Jax noted that he “did not sign up for this show, nor do I have anything to do with the show’s drama.”

“I just want to be a normal kid,” he pleaded, explaining his Instagram account is for his peers and “not for publicity nor the public’s gaze.”

Jax said that he’d be making his Instagram account private moving forward and thanked fans who have been supportive.
