Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright's Marital Drama: A Timeline of Allegations and Counter-Allegations

Over the past week, fans of Vanderpump Rules have been following the latest developments in the tumultuous relationship between Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright. The couple, who announced their separation in February after almost five years of marriage and welcomed their first child together in April 2021, have been making headlines with accusations and counter-allegations.

On June 5, Jax took to Twitter to claim that Brittany had been sleeping with someone else since their separation. He quickly deleted the tweet but not before it was screenshot and reposted by several fan accounts. In the same day, Brittany revealed on their podcast that they were open to dating other people less than a week before Jax's allegation.

The following day, Jax backtracked on his claims and stated that they were working things out. He also mentioned that what was shown in the season finale of The Valley, which depicted their explosive fight leading to their split, was filmed months ago.

Brittany then detailed some of the hurtful insults Jax had called her before their breakup during an interview with E! News. She revealed that he had called her fat and lazy and told her she would have no friends if they broke up. Jax never attended a therapy appointment because it was far away in Malibu, which particularly upset Brittany.

The Valley season finale also featured post-production footage of Jax and Brittany addressing their separation and the possibility of reconciliation. However, the future remains uncertain for the former couple.
