The fallout from Brittany Cartwright’s decision to publicly release the now-infamous footage of Jax Taylor’s drug-fueled meltdown has taken an even darker turn — with longtime friend and fellow reality star Lala Kent stepping forward to condemn Jax’s behavior in a blistering public statement.

“Lala told her, ‘We’ve both survived men like this. Now let’s make sure no other woman stays silent.’”
