Jax Taylor is coming out swinging after ex Brittany Cartwright spilled details on their relationship during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
“The amount of blatant lies in this interview is unbelievable,” Jax, 47, commented on an Instagram post shared by WWHL from Brittany’s interview on the Wednesday, August 5, episode of the Bravo talk show.
In the interview, Brittany, 37, alleged that her estranged husband recently missed parenting time with their son, Cruz, 5, because he was in Canada with the couple’s former publicist Lori Krebs, who Jax is now dating.
“I have NEVER missed my scheduled parenting time with Cruz. It’s public record that I have him every Wednesday and on weekends, and I was back in LA yesterday (Tuesday),” Jax wrote.
“Today, you refused to let me have my scheduled time with him because you’re angry over personal matters, and that’s why we have an emergency court hearing tomorrow since you continue to weaponize my son against me,” Jax claimed. “The truth will come out about everything when I finally have the opportunity to speak… and I have the receipts to back up everything I’m saying.”
Us has reached out to Brittany’s management for comment.
On Wednesday’s WWHL, Brittany shared how she found out that her ex is dating their former publicist. (Brittany filed for divorce from the Vanderpump Rules alum in August 2024.)
“[Lori] sent me a text message, morning of [the release of photos of her and Jax vacationing in Mexico], two hours before the TMZ photos came out and let me know that things had changed and that she knows I will feel betrayed,” Brittany said. “[Lori said] she loves me and [Brittany and Jax’s son, Cruz] and she’s never told Jax anything. Come on.”
In July, Us obtained photos of Jax and Lori getting cozy in a pool at the Hotel Mousai in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
“I’m shaking,” Brittany said in an interview with People published on Wednesday. “I mean, this person was not only my publicist, she was like a sister to me for 10 years. It’s just complete, complete betrayal.”
However, a source told Us on Wednesday, “Lori understands why Brittany feels betrayed. But the narrative that they were still ‘like family’ when this all happened isn’t accurate. Brittany and Lori haven’t been close in a very long time. Their relationship had changed significantly. They saw each other only a couple of times in the past year, never spoke outside of work, and Lori’s role had been reduced primarily to coordinating media interviews. She had already been trying to transition away from representing Brittany because she increasingly felt caught in the middle of an extremely difficult situation.”
“Throughout Jax’s addiction and recovery, Lori supported both of them in different ways. As Jax made progress and focused on rebuilding his life, the professional and personal dynamics shifted,” the source added. “None of that changes the fact that Lori understands Brittany’s hurt, but the picture being painted of their relationship at the time isn’t an accurate one.”
