Brittany Cartwright has opened up about why she believes her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, entered rehab in 2024. According to Brittany, it wasn’t just a personal decision but one heavily influenced by his career on reality TV. During an appearance on the MisSpelling podcast, Brittany explained that she thinks Jax only went to rehab because his job was on the line.
In her candid discussion, Brittany mentioned how Jax had said, “I’m going to miss out on a lot of things,” referring to his time away from filming The Valley, the reality show he starred in. “I feel like he knew that he was going to miss out on 30 days of not filming,” Brittany said, suggesting that it was the potential loss of his career that pushed him to get help. She also highlighted a moment when Jax looked in the backseat and saw their son, Cruz, which Brittany believes triggered his decision to go to rehab. However, she wasn’t entirely convinced that it was a genuine desire to get better.
Brittany revealed that she had to put her “foot down” and insist on Jax’s rehab decision, even though he initially seemed to be in denial about the extent of his problems. She claimed that before entering rehab, Jax had been aggressive and, in her words, “still in denial” about his substance abuse issues. She said, “The cops were going to be called if he did not at least go and try to get help,” adding that Jax had yet to reach his rock bottom at the time.
Jax, for his part, recently admitted to battling a cocaine addiction for over 20 years. The former Vanderpump Rules star has been open about his struggles on the Hot Mic podcast, revealing that his addiction to cocaine has been an ongoing issue since he was 23 years old. He mentioned that while he’s been able to quit at times, there have been periods where he fell heavily back into his addiction.
Despite Brittany’s frustrations, it’s clear that Jax’s path to rehab has been a complicated one, with his career and personal life both playing a significant role in his decision to seek help. While his journey is still unfolding, it’s a reminder of how intertwined personal struggles can be with professional consequences.
