Jax Taylor is speaking out about his latest battle with Brittany Cartwright.
And this time, it seems that the former couple’s divorce drama has spilled directly into his professional life.
The Vanderpump Rules alum claims Brittany has been attempting to undermine his career after a recent controversy involving what he says was a mistaken brand partnership.
According to Jax, his estranged wife turned an unfortunate situation into an opportunity to publicly embarrass him.
“Yesterday was just another example of Brittany going out of her way to publicly embarrass and humiliate me,” Jax told Us Weekly, claiming that the issue could have been handled privately.
He alleged that Brittany contacted the brand, discussed the matter on her podcast, and shared what he described as false accusations online.
“Instead of reaching out privately to address the situation, she chose to contact the brand, laugh about it on her podcast, and post false accusations on social media,” Jax claimed.
Jax said he believes the incident is part of a larger pattern, alleging that Brittany’s actions have hurt his reputation and made it more difficult for him to rebuild his career following their highly publicized split.
Jax says he thought he had been offered a partnership deal with Smart Water through a third-party facilitator.
He later said he discovered the partnership was not authorized and removed the content once he learned there was a problem.
In a statement shared with followers, Jax explained that he had received emails, campaign details, and instructions that made the opportunity appear legitimate. He insisted he never intended to misrepresent a business relationship.
The latest accusations add another chapter to the ongoing tension between Jax and Brittany, who separated in 2024 after many years in the reality TV spotlight.
The pair, who married in 2019 and share son Cruz, have continued navigating their divorce and co-parenting relationship in the public eye.
Their breakup has already produced plenty of drama, including disagreements over their divorce proceedings and renewed headlines surrounding Jax’s personal life.
For now, Jax and Brittany appear to have very different views on what has happened, and fans of the Bravo stars are once again watching their relationship drama unfold away from the cameras.

Reality television personality Sidney Starr is facing a slew of serious felony charges after being arrested in Georgia over the weekend.
According to authorities, Starr — best known for her appearances on Love & Hip Hop: New York — was taken into custody Sunday following an alleged incident at a hotel in Hapeville, just outside Atlanta.
She was later booked into the Fulton County Jail on multiple felony charges, including sexual battery against a child under the age of 16, child molestation, and sodomy (via TMZ).
Police have released very few details about the investigation.
Because the alleged victim is a minor, law enforcement officials have not disclosed additional information about the circumstances surrounding the case.
As of this writing, no affidavit detailing the allegations has been made public, and investigators have not announced whether additional charges could be forthcoming.
Starr has not publicly commented on the allegations, and it is unclear whether she has retained an attorney. Representatives for the reality star also have not issued a statement.
The arrest comes while the famed transgender model was reportedly in the Atlanta area for a scheduled appearance connected to Industry Girl, a reality series on Ray J’s Tronix Network.
She had been advertised as a host for the show’s reunion special, though it remains unclear whether that event ultimately took place.
Starr first rose to prominence through social media before becoming a recurring personality on Love & Hip Hop. Over the years, she has also appeared in music videos and various television projects, building a sizable online following.
Now, however, the focus has shifted dramatically from her entertainment career to the criminal case she faces.
This is not her first controversy, as she previously gained attention for falsely claiming she’d had a sexual relationship with rapper Chingy.
At this stage, prosecutors have not presented their evidence in court, and many details of the allegations remain under seal or otherwise unavailable because they involve a juvenile. The charges themselves are accusations, and Starr is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
As the legal process moves forward, investigators may release additional information. For now, officials have emphasized that the limited public disclosure is intended to protect the identity and privacy of the alleged victim.
At this time, neither Starr nor her legal team has issued any kind of public statement.
We’ll continue to monitor this case and provide updates as more information becomes available,

There was a time when people who didn’t look too closely into matters believed Elon Musk to be some sort of genius inventor. That was never true.
These days, he’s infamous for his “concern” about white birth rates, his endorsement of fascists, for ruining Twitter, and for how his grok AI being used to generate nude images of women and children.
That last part is where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry come in.
Musk’s xAI is suing to stop a Minnesota law against these “nudification” programs from going into effect. Yikes!
Call him out!
In a statement on their Sussex.com site, Meghan and Harry absolutely skewered the former trillionaire without even mentioning his name.
“Big Tech has taken shocking steps to limit restrictions on or accountability for these objectively predatory A.I. product features,” they correctly observed.
“Most recently, ahead of the Minnesota law to ban ‘nudification’ apps going into effect tomorrow, the trillionaire leader of the tech company responsible for X’s Grok, sued the state of Minnesota to stop the law from going into place,” Harry and Meghan described.
Though they did not name Musk, he was briefly valued by credulous investors at $1 trillion due to one of his hodgepodge companies, SpaceX, going public under relaxed restrictions. He is no longer a trillionaire by any measure.
And, of course, his program is now the most infamous for producing nude renderings of women and especially of children. These are not harmless drawings, but realistic-looking depictions of real people. These images are used to harass or exact revenge upon these victims.
Meghan and Harry mused about “why someone would try to stop a ban on AI technology producing deepfakes of people and children in the nude without their consent.”
They then described multiple groups in the US and UK, including children. All of whom had filed suits against xAI’s grok.
“The company is mitigating risk to their bottom line instead of aggressively responding to the clear evidence their product features are enabling predators to prey on women and children,” the couple observed.
Meghan and Harry did not personally sign the statement, but instead posted it to their website.
As for the laws against “nudification” programs, those are in places like Minnesota, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, and California. Obviously, there are many states — and countries — to go in passing similar legislation.
Some ‘child safety’ laws do not protect, but laws against this tech will
Why are they bringing this up?
Well, first and foremost, because Meghan and Harry have dedicated a lot of their activism to promoting child safety.
These “child internet safety” laws that keep passing in many cases do not make children safe — only more isolated.
(Any law that requires people to show an ID and “prove” their age to be online is, at best, poorly conceived. At worst, it’s just a surveillance ploy. It will not keep kids safe, but it will make everything worse for adults.)
But Meghan and Harry aren’t talking about online censorship or mass surveillance. They’re talking about how Musk’s company is suing to stop Minnesota to outlaw “nudification.”
To hear the xAI legal team tell it, the laws against “nudification” are oppressing free speech.
It would be easy to imagine a law that, by accident or malicious design, restricted actual art. Remember, real art is just a drawing, and has no victim. Feeding a photo of your coworker or your ex or a literal child into a program that renders a nude or further sexualized image of them is very different.
But Minnesota’s law does not appear to be overbroad. We are not legal scholars, but it is our understanding that the laws target the underlying tech, making it clear that they’re not sending shock troops to raid art museums.
That seems to be an issue that critics have with Minnesota’s law — that it targets this tech.
All AI-generated slop images are bad. They’re environmentally destructive and they are repulsive, all built upon stolen images and stolen art. Just like how slop writing and slop answers are bad (and inaccurate).
But we can acknowledge that slop that directly ruins lives as a tool of revenge and harassment is worse. Meghan and Harry are right to call out Musk.
