In a shocking twist that even The Valley producers couldn’t script, former Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor has reportedly been arrested following the release of a disturbing video by estranged wife Brittany Cartwright.
The video, posted to Brittany’s private Instagram close friends story (and, of course, quickly leaked to the internet), allegedly shows Jax engaging in illicit drug use and acting violently toward both Brittany and their young son, Cruz. Fans were quick to react with outrage, flooding social media with #JusticeForBrittany and #ProtectCruz.
“I stayed quiet for too long,” Brittany wrote in a now-deleted comment under a fan’s post. “But the truth had to come out. I won’t let him hurt us anymore.”
Sources close to the production of The Valley reveal that Bravo has halted filming indefinitely amid the controversy. "They were already on thin ice with the audience,” one insider whispered, “but this? This could be the end of Jax on reality TV — forever.”
Jax Taylor, once dubbed “the #1 guy in the group,” has not yet made a public statement, but legal reps confirm he is “cooperating with authorities.”
Meanwhile, fans have rallied behind Brittany, who was recently spotted filming with Lala Kent and Scheana Shay — possibly setting the stage for her post-Jax era.
Stay tuned for updates as this story continues to unfold. And remember: just because it’s reality TV doesn’t mean it’s not real life.
