The Valley cast made some major updates to Jax’s Studio City earlier this week ahead of Jax Taylor‘s exit from the in-patient treatment center where he’s been addressing mental health concerns for the past several weeks.
Following a report claiming Brittany Cartwright, 35, wants nothing to do with her estranged spouse, Kristen Doute, 41, Nia Sanchez, 34, and Zack Wickham turned Jax’s bar into Britt’s Bar, with new signage, employee T-shirts, and a marquee.
“Britt’s Bar … Just for fun! Hah. Such a fun night setting up a little bar makeover for our girl [Brittany Cartwright] at [Jax’s Studio City]. We always say #BrittsBar … so why not make it a reality?! Hehe,” read a caption of a joint Instagram post with Brittany, which featured a series of images from the interior of their restaurant.
“You can vote below 😉… (all in good fun btw),” the post added.
“P.S. A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO [Alpha-Lit Los Angeles and Picnic + Petal] for the ‘Britt’s’ marquee,” the post also said.
As the cast members also included a poll, asking their fans and followers whether they preferred the venue to be named after Jax and Brittany, 94% of their online audience agreed the name should be changed to “Britt’s Bar.”
Following the sharing of the post, a number of commenters weighed in, with one stating, “Jax is going to have to go back to rehab when he sees this! I think it’s amazing!!”
“It’s all in good fun. We literally painted the sign by hand,” Nia noted.
Then, after another person wrote, “If there is one thing we ALL love is seeing Britttt glowing [and] happy!!!! Yall look amazing!!! [And] are being great friends,” Brittany agreed that the gesture from her co-stars was “so sweet.”
“I love y’all,” she told Kristen, Nia, and Zack.
“We love you,” Nia replied.
Prior to the makeover to Jax’s Studio City, an insider spoke to PEOPLE, stating that while Brittany was supportive of Jax’s decision to seek help, she was in no way hoping for a reconciliation between them.
“Brittany was supportive of Jax’s decision to seek help for their son’s sake. However, going forward, she’s not interested in having anything to do with him,” the insider stated. “At this time, the pair aren’t capable of being in the same room together or being in communication with one another. Brittany has reached her limit and remains strong to do what is best for herself and her son.”
The source also hinted that “shocking” information would be revealed on the upcoming second season of The Valley.
“As the new season of The Valley unfolds, a lot of shocking details will come to the surface,” they teased. “Since nothing has been off-limits, it may end up being the most unpredictable, no-holds-barred seasons to ever appear on reality television yet.”
The Valley season two is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year or early next year.
