One day after her husband Jax Taylor entered a mental facility, Brittany Cartwright was spotted being supported by friends. The Valley star posted a snap on her Instagram Stories from their business, Jax’s Studio City. Her former Vanderpump Rules co-star Scheana Shay and Vanderpump Villa head server Marciano Brunette were by her side.

The next day, Britt celebrated her new TikTok account by posting a video featuring her Valley co-stars. Michelle Saniei Lally, Nia Booko, Janet Caperna, Jasmine Goode, and Jasmine’s girlfriend Melissa Marie were all included in the post.

The group energetically lip-synched to a track that said, “We are back baby … we are f*cking back … we’re back!”

A little help from her friends

Though Brittany hasn’t spoken publicly about her husband’s decision to seek mental health treatment, Jax shared a photo of himself on his Instagram Story on July 31. In the photo, Jax is hugging and kissing their three-year-old son Cruz.

“Trying to get better for you buddy. Daddy loves you so much,” Jax captioned the snapshot.

Jax has been open about his mental health struggles for some time. He’s seen various therapists over the years. But things got worse following his February breakup with Brittany, his wife of four years.

In June, Jax mentioned on their joint podcast, When Reality Hits, that he had started meeting with a professional to help him control his volatile behavior.

“I’m like, this is what’s wrong with me, and this is what I’m doing, and this is who I’m attacking,” he said at the time. “I have serious, serious anger issues, and I have a child … I don’t want him to see me act like that.”

Two months earlier, Jax claimed to be working on himself to win Brittany back and save their marriage. Even though they’re living apart, the pair are still making every effort to do things together as a family, for the sake of their son.

A “toxic” relationship

Jax and Britt began dating in 2015. She left her home in Kentucky and moved to California to be with him. They married in 2019, and Cruz was born two years later.

After all the ups and downs, Brittany reached her breaking point and decided she’d had enough of their toxic relationship. “He was going out to the bar and stuff, coming home and having these horrible hangovers that would make him mean as a f*cking snake,” Britt alleged.

Following a night of partying, she claimed Jax burst into the room where she was sleeping with Cruz, yelling about a text he got. Things escalated, as Britt recalled.

“Finally, after he’s already been screaming at me for hours,” she said, “I packed me and Cruz up, and we got the hell out of that house … I just kind of hit this point where I started noticing everything that he did to me.”
