The record

Compiled by the MrScandal desk from the documents below · Desk editor Kristaps Siliņš · Nov 9, 2026

Brittany Cartwright was featured on Bravo's Vanderpump Rules for five seasons before the network confirmed in December 2020 that she and her husband, Jax Taylor, would not return, TMZ reported. In 2017 TMZ reported that Bravo would air a spinoff starring the couple, filmed in Kentucky where her family lives. She later joined the Bravo series The Valley. Her own court record is almost entirely the divorce she filed in August 2024 and the filings that followed it.

The couple married in June 2019 at the Kentucky Castle in Versailles, Kentucky. Her petition, citing irreconcilable differences, gave January 24, 2024 as the date of separation, sought primary legal and physical custody of their son with visitation for Taylor, and asked the court to bar spousal support to either party. Taylor has since asked for spousal support from her, a request already covered in this file.

In August 2026 a judge granted her a temporary domestic violence restraining order requiring Taylor to stay 100 yards away, after she alleged a decade-long pattern of abuse; the judge denied her request for sole custody pending a hearing. Taylor said he strongly disputed some of the allegations and that no police reports or charges followed. Asked about it publicly, she said only, "Just thanks for the support. I'm okay." In October 2026 Taylor asked to be declared legally single.
