Brittany Cartwright spends time with Scheana Shay, ‘Valley’ co-stars after Jax Taylor checks into mental health facility
Brittany Cartwright was all smiles while hanging out with her friends after her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, checked himself into a mental health facility.
After Page Six confirmed that Taylor entered an inpatient treatment center, Cartwright posted a smiley snap to her Instagram Story from his bar, Jax’s Studio City, alongside Scheana Shay and “Vanderpump Villa” star Marciano Brunette.
Then on Wednesday, she uploaded a stunning snapshot of herself wearing an orange dress while posing on a lush green lawn overlooking the water at sunset.
The same day, she launched her TikTok account with a video featuring her “Valley” co-stars, Michelle Saniei Lally, Nia Sanchez, Janet Caperna and Jasmine Goode as well as her girlfriend Melissa Marie.
They enthusiastically lip-synched to audio that said, “We are back baby … we are f–king back … we’re back!”
Cartwright, 35, has not publicly spoken about her ex’s decision to seek treatment.
Taylor, 45, addressed his choice to check into a mental health facility on his Instagram Story Wednesday by sharing a photo of himself holding and kissing his and Cartwright’s 3-year-old son, Cruz.
“Trying to get better for you buddy, daddy loves you so much,” he wrote atop the sweet snapshot.
His rep told Page Six Tuesday that “this is a particularly sensitive time for him and his family.”
The reality star had been open about his mental health struggles following his February split from Cartwright.
In June, he confirmed on his and Cartwright’s “When Reality Hits” podcast that he began meeting with a professional to help him regulate his emotions.
“I’m like, ‘This is what’s wrong with me, and this is what I’m doing, and this is who l’m attacking. And I have serious, serious anger issues, and I have a child, and I don’t want him to see me act like that,'” he said at the time.
Two months earlier, he claimed he was “working” on himself to win Cartwright back and save their marriage.
The pair walked down the aisle in her home state of Kentucky in 2019 and welcomed their son two years later.
After fighting for their love through many ups and downs, they decided to take a breather from their relationship after a “toxic” argument.
“He was going out to the bar and stuff, coming home and having these horrible hangovers that would make him mean as a f–king snake,” Cartwright alleged as she detailed the life-altering fight during the season finale of “The Valley” in June.
After a night of partying, she claimed Taylor stormed into their room, where she was sleeping with their son, yelling about a text he got.
“Finally, after he’s already been screaming at me for hours … I packed me and Cruz up and we got the hell out of that house,” she recalled.
“I just kind of hit this point where I started noticing everything that he did to me.”
