Jax Taylor is allegedly so broke, and he claims that it is all his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright’s, fault. Therefore, he is demanding that she give him $17K per month, as well as $250K in legal fees. So, what else does the former reality star want? Keep reading for all of the shocking details.
Brittany Has Ruined Jax’s Career
Jax Taylor was a staple on Vanderpump Rules for eight seasons, but he had a temper. However, his co-stars and many fans liked his partner, Brittany Cartwright, more than him. She came onto the scene in Season 4, and they became engaged in Season 7. Jax’s female co-stars were fearful that Jax would hurt her, as he did with most of his girlfriends. Yet, she was determined to “change” him, and the two tied the knot in June 2019. They exited VPR after Season 8, had a baby boy, and were eventually cast in the spinoff, The Valley.
Before the series premiered, they split, but no one was surprised. It then came out that he was an addict, and she has since accused him of abuse. Jax left The Valley after Season 2 and is now claiming he is broke. Moreover, he stated that he received his last check from the show, that Brittany ruined deals for him, and that he would like $17K/month in spousal support. Finally, he wants $250K in lawyer fees paid, but he stopped paying the mortgage on their Valley Village home. That was when she had moved into an Airbnb when they initially split, and Jax Taylor maintained the residence.
Brittany Cartwright then had to pick up the pieces, but she also shared that the mortgage went from around $8K/month to $ 18K/month. That was because she took on Jax’s debt, and it played a part in their home financing. So, one may argue that she has paid more than enough and is still paying. In a filing from Jax’s attorneys, they wrote:
“This disparity is directly due to Brittany’s documented campaign…to wreak havoc on Jax’s public image and sabotage his ability to continue his career in the entertainment industry and earn an income. She appears to be on a mission to destroy him, personally and professionally.”
How Much Does Brittany Make?
Jax Taylor had previously bragged about Brittany Cartwright making a pretty penny for her Jenny Craig contract. Now, she is promoting a GLP-1 and is still on The Valley. So, how much does she make every month? Allegedly, she takes home around $126,555, but Jax maintains he has nothing to show as of now. He got his last Bravo check in October 2026, so there is nothing left for him financially.
It is unclear what will happen and whether Brittany will have to pay Jax Taylor anything. Do you think he’s entitled to her money? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
