Janet Is Making A Statement
Janet leaving the country and making her social media accounts private is a measure she can taketo escape the noise online. This season ofThe Valleyhas been difficult for viewers, mostly because of thedark storyline of Jax Taylorand Brittany Cartwright’s divorce amid Jax’s substance abuse issues.
