“It looked like a Weight Watchers commercial set in a liquor store” – Brittany Cartwright’s brutal leaked texts spark fat-shaming scandal as producers are ‘disgusted’ and her future on The Valley is now under active review - suong

Brittany Cartwright is facing a firestorm of backlash — both on-camera and behind the scenes — after explosive private messages allegedly written by her were leaked this week, revealing a string of body-shaming remarks aimed at multiple members of The Valley cast.

The texts, which appeared in a viral Reddit thread and have since been widely circulated across Bravo fan accounts, are believed to come from a private group chat that Brittany shared with two close associates — one of whom reportedly leaked the messages after a falling out.

In the screenshots, Brittany is seen referring to several cast members with shockingly cruel nicknames, allegedly calling Kristen Doute “the Pillsbury Dough Girl” and mocking Janet Caperna’s appearance by writing, “She better hope those baby pounds are still the excuse next season.” Perhaps the most jarring comment, however, was her remark that the reunion taping “looked like a Weight Watchers commercial set in a liquor store.”

Fans were stunned by the sharp contrast between Brittany’s on-camera persona — often emotional, teary-eyed, and positioning herself as a body-positive voice — and the tone of the leaked messages. In one moment, she allegedly wrote: “They cry about their image, but won’t stop with the late-night tacos and tequila. Sorry not sorry.”

The fallout was immediate. According to an insider, producers were “disgusted” by the content of the messages, and several members of the cast refused to film a planned group event once the leak went public. Kristen Doute, who had long maintained a fragile friendship with Brittany following past Jax-related drama, was reportedly “devastated” and “refused to even acknowledge Brittany on set.”

“It’s one thing to joke in private,” the insider added. “But when it’s clear that someone holds these kinds of resentments — and then cries on camera to sell herself as a victim — the entire dynamic falls apart.”

Brittany has yet to publicly comment, but a source close to her claims the messages were “taken out of context” and that she is “extremely embarrassed.” Still, Bravo executives are said to be holding internal discussions about how to proceed. While Brittany has not been officially fired from The Valley, a producer confirmed to DailyMail+ that her future on the show is now “under active review.”

Adding fuel to the controversy is Brittany’s silence on social media. Since the leak, she has posted only one cryptic Instagram Story featuring a sunset and the words “Let them believe what they want.” Comments have been disabled on her most recent posts.

Fans, meanwhile, aren’t buying the vague deflection. “She made her whole brand about being relatable, about struggling with her weight and postpartum,” one commenter wrote. “To turn around and shame other women in the same position? That’s disgusting.”

As the scandal unfolds, insiders say that Bravo is considering re-editing several upcoming episodes to reduce Brittany’s presence — or cut her entirely from the reunion special, which was filmed just two weeks prior to the leak.

One producer summed it up simply: “There’s reality TV drama, and then there’s real-life nastiness. And Brittany just crossed that line.”
