A tearful Brittany Cartwright made her first statement since news broke that she filed to divorce Jax Taylor. The Valley star took to her and her estranged husband/baby daddy’s When Reality Hits podcast to discuss “the elephant in the room.”
Brittany speaks:
“It’s been a big week,” began the former Vanderpump Rules personality. “I’m sure everyone listening has seen the news online by now that I filed for divorce from Jax. I unfortunately can’t speak on details because everything has been heavily documented on the show, since we happened to be filming right now.”
“You will see how everything plays out once the show airs, but I will say this … This season has been the most difficult season I have ever had to film. I never imagined I’d go through something so personal and painful while having the world watch. I’m not saying this for anyone to feel badly because I know that this is the life I chose and I’m so fortunate in many ways. But I will always want to be real with you all. Many have said online they think this has been a publicity stunt for the show or to garner ratings. It’s the furthest thing from that.”
It’s Brittany, bitch:
“My decision to file wasn’t made lightly or quickly. It’s taken me many, many years to get to this point where I’ve gained enough courage and strength to do what was best for me – get myself out of a toxic relationship and ultimately see my worth. It’s been very difficult, but I’m stronger than ever, and my motivation is my son, my Cruisy, who deserves a happy and healthy mommy.”
“Moving forward, Jax, I will be doing the podcast separately. Thank you all so much for the support. Love you very much, and I hope that you enjoy an episode that has some of our best memories together from the past. And stay with us because we will get this together soon. And I love you guys and just hang in there with me. Thank you.”
