During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Brittany Cartwright detailed the emotional fallout of her ex-husband Jax Taylor’s new relationship. The 37-year-old reality star claims her former publicist, Lori Krebs, betrayed a decade of friendship by dating Taylor.
A decade of friendship dissolved by a Mexico getaway
The conflict centres on the long-standing bond between Cartwright and Lori Krebs,whom the reality star described as being like a "sister" for ten years.. According to the report, this professional and personal relationship was shattered following photos that surfaced in July showing Taylor and Krebs appearing intimate during a getaway to Mexico. Cartwright expressed that the betrayal was compounded by the fact that Krebs had been a confidante during the most difficult periods of her marriage to Taylor.
Adding a layer of professional complexity, Cartwright alleged that Krebs was still actively working for her at the time the romance began .. The The Valley star claimed that Krebs was still receiving a retainer and a 10% commission from her even as the relationship with Taylor was developing. This intersection of professional service and personal infidelity marks a significant escalation in the public divorce battle between Cartwright and Taylor.
Jax Taylor’s Instagram rebuttal and the fight over Cruz
Jax Taylor has responded to these allegations by labeling Cartwright's interview as a collection of "blatant lies." In a deleted comment on an Instagram post, Taylor addressed the specific claim that he had been neglecting his parental duties. he asserted that he has never missed scheduled parenting time with his five-year-old son, Cruz, and claimed he was back in Los Angeles on a Tuesday after being in Canada.
The dispute has moved beyond social media comments and into the legal system. as reported by the source, Taylor alleged that Cartwright is "weaponizing" their son against him due to personal anger. This tension has reportedly led to an emergency court hearing, highlighting how the romantic entanglement with Krebs has directly impacted the ongoing custody and divorce proceedings.
The mystery of the 10% retainer and the 'receipts'
Several specific claims made during the Wednesday broadcast remain unverified and serve as the primary points of contention between the parties. While Cartwright maintains that Krebs sent her messages stating "things have changed" shortly before the Mexico photos were published, the exact timing and content of these communications have not been independently confirmed.. Furthermore, the validity of the 10% retainer claim remains an open question, as Taylor has promised to produce "receipts" to debunk Cartwright's version of events.
It also remains unclear whether Taylor and Krebs are still maintaining a romantic relationship. When asked directly by host Andy Cohen if the pair were still together,Cartwright could only offer an uncertain "I guess," leaving the current status of their relationship in limbo.
Ryan Revel’s May decision to fire Jax Taylor
The professional isolation of Jax Taylor is a recurring theme in this saga, rooted in his relationship with manager Ryan Revel. The source notes that Revel, who originally introduced the group to one another a decade ago, made the decision to fire Taylor in May. This professional distancing by a longtime industry figure provides broader context for the current instability in Taylor's personal and professional life as he navigates his divorce and new relationship.
