Brittany Cartwright Drops Bombshell Allegations Against Jax Taylor: Claims 20-Year Drug Battle, Violent Outbursts in Front of Son Cruz
In a shocking twist that has sent Bravo fans into a frenzy, The Valley star Brittany Cartwright has leveled explosive accusations against her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, alleging he has been secretly battling a two-decade-long drug addiction. According to sources close to the reality TV personality, Cartwright claims Jax’s struggles fueled terrifying episodes of rage and violent outbursts—some allegedly witnessed by their young autistic son, Cruz.
“Brittany is saying the emotional and psychological toll on their family has been devastating,” one insider shared. “She believes Jax’s behavior has left lasting scars, not only on her, but also on Cruz, who is already navigating unique challenges.”
The allegations paint a grim portrait of a marriage that has been unraveling in the public eye for months. Fans first noticed signs of strain when Cartwright announced earlier this year that she had moved out of the couple’s shared home. At the time, she cited ongoing conflicts and an inability to find peace in their relationship. Now, with these latest claims surfacing, the fracture appears far deeper than anyone could have imagined.
Jax Taylor, once celebrated as one of Bravo’s most infamous reality TV villains during his Vanderpump Rules run, has long been dogged by rumors of temper issues and reckless behavior. However, Brittany’s accusations take those whispers to an entirely new level, suggesting a decades-long battle with substance abuse that insiders say could derail what’s left of his public image.
“People inside Bravo are stunned,” another source revealed. “They always knew Jax and Brittany had drama, but no one expected it to reach this level. If true, it’s incredibly disturbing.”
Neither Jax nor his representatives have publicly responded to the accusations, but fans are already speculating about the fallout. Will these claims end his reality TV career for good, or will Jax attempt to fight back with his own version of events?
For Brittany, insiders insist this is not about headlines but about protecting her son and reclaiming her own sense of stability. “She wants to move forward, but she also wants the truth out there,” the insider explained.
As the story unfolds, one thing is certain: the once-golden Bravo couple now finds themselves at the center of one of the network’s darkest scandals yet, leaving fans shocked and desperate for answers.
RHOA’s Phaedra Parks Enjoys ‘Sultry’ Walton Goggins at 2025 Emmy Awards

Phaedra Parks may have found her true calling! The Real Housewives of Atlanta star took over Access Hollywood’s socials for the Emmys and did the whole shebang. She got ready with the fans, played games, and conducted interviews on the red carpet, including a fun one with
Phaedra certainly knows how to make her presence known. Before the event, she teased her involvement on social media by sharing everything she was doing. She even added some shade, saying, “That means I’m actually invited, Angela (Oakley), and I don’t see you in the room.” Trust Phaedra to get a dig in.
Walton Goggins and Phaedra Parks played a game on the Emmys red carpet
RHOA drama aside, Phaedra did a great job on the red carpet. She is a natural host and appears to have a way of making celebrities relax when they’re around her, which makes for some great interviews.
When she met with the White Lotus star, Phaedra instantly connected with him when he said he grew up in Atlanta. She asked him if he’d be down to play a quick game where he’d choose a random tag line from a bowl and give it his best delivery.
It’s a fun and cheeky throwback to the taglines often used for Real Housewives at the start of the season. RHOA’s Season 16 taglines were a fun mix of cheek and snark.
Walton delivered his chosen tagline slowly and deliberately, saying, “I was gone with the wind, but now I’m back and twice as fabulous.” The actor slowed down at the word twice as he slowly pushed his shades up.
“Ooh, that was good,” Phaedra said. “That was very sultry.”
Walton gave her one more rendition that was snappy and quick. Both agreed the slower one was the better option.
Walton was at the Emmys representing with his other White Lotus castmates. The show had an incredible third season, and despite a major upset come award time, the show received 23 nominations. Walton received a Best Supporting nomination, as did his partner in the show, Aimee Lou Wood, whom fans thought he had feuded with previously. Looks like they’re all good now, though, having nothing but nice things to say about one another.
