During the second season of Vanderpump Rules, Taylor quickly became the show villain when he admitted to cheating on Schroeder with one of her best friends, Kristen Doute, who just so happened to be the girlfriend of his best friend, Tom Sandoval. In a new interview, Taylor explained why he did it.

“I was going through my problems with Stassi. And she was taking me back for a week, but leaving me a week later. She was just using me. I was going crazy in my own head,” Taylor told Hollywood Life on Monday.

Throughout the second season of the show, Taylor and Doute both denied having slept together. However, after Taylor came clean to Schroeder, Doute did as well. During a dinner with the cast, Doute revealed she had cheated, and was smacked in the face by Schroeder moments later.

“It’s not uncommon for what we did. It just so happens that we’re on TV," Taylor said of his infidelities. "It’s not like, ‘Oh my god. The world is ending. Cheating never happens!’ This happens every day. Do I condone it? Absolutely not. Can I justify it? Absolutely not."

As for his current relationship with Schroeder, Taylor holds no ill will. “I’ll always love her as a person," he explained. "She’s great on the show.”
