‘This is why men don’t share finances with women’ – Leaked texts expose Jax Taylor’s cold response after Brittany Cartwright uncovered secret $18K mortgage, years of unpaid taxes, and a financial betrayal she never saw coming - suong

“I gave him my trust, my income, and my credit… and he gave me a monthly bill I can’t breathe under.” — Brittany Cartwright, The Valley After Show

In what insiders are calling “the most humiliating moment of their separation yet,” newly leaked private text messages obtained by a close source reveal Jax Taylor allegedly lashed out at Brittany Cartwright in a chilling response to her financial confrontation — telling his estranged wife, “This is why men don’t share finances with women.”

The explosive exchange reportedly occurred just days after Brittany learned that Jax had gone behind her back to refinance their Valley Village home, resulting in a staggering jump in monthly mortgage payments — from $8,000 to $18,000 — due to his years-long failure to pay taxes.

According to a confidante close to Brittany, the mother-of-one was “shaking and crying” when she discovered that not only had her husband skipped IRS payments for six consecutive years, but he had also allowed the penalties to snowball without ever disclosing the true numbers. “She thought it was an honest mess — but what she saw in those refinance documents was deliberate,” the source told DailyMail+.

After sending Jax a series of urgent texts demanding answers — including “Why didn’t you tell me we were re-mortgaging again?” and “You used our son’s address on documents I never signed,” — Jax allegedly responded coldly with a single line:

“This is why men don’t share finances with women. It always turns into drama.”

The message, viewed as deeply misogynistic and dismissive, reportedly left Brittany stunned. “It was like he flipped the blame onto her for asking basic questions about money he controlled,” the insider explained. “She was finally starting to piece it all together — the secret accounts, the disappearing tax forms, and how she ended up paying for his mistakes.”

The shocking moment adds a new layer to their already fractured public narrative on The Valley, where Brittany recently revealed that she had been covering all utility bills, groceries, medical expenses, flights, and even their son Cruz’s clothing, while Jax took responsibility solely for the mortgage — which he ultimately failed to maintain.

What viewers didn’t see on camera, however, was the digital paper trail. According to the same source, Brittany began noticing inconsistencies in the couple’s joint finances months before their separation, including late payment notices she never received, accounts opened under both their names, and at least two missing tax documents she only discovered after seeking legal advice.

Despite Jax claiming on the After Show that he’s “made it clean” and “learned his lesson,” Brittany’s side of the story tells a different tale — one of financial betrayal disguised as carelessness.

“She’s finally realizing this wasn’t just about money,” the insider said. “It was about control. And Jax used his charm and bravado to bury her under a mountain of debt and shame — all while calling it love.”

While Jax has not publicly commented on the leaked message, Brittany is reportedly considering further legal protections regarding shared assets, and friends say she’s reached a point of “calm clarity” about who she married — and what she’s walking away from.

As one source close to production put it:

“He didn’t just break her trust — he sold it, refinanced it, and left her holding the bill.”
