Brittany Cartwright was allegedly shown disturbing text messages between her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, and another woman at the finale party for the upcoming second season of The Valley over the weekend.
According to a new report, fans are expected to witness a “bombshell reveal” on the final episode of the season, which was filmed just weeks after Brittany, 35, filed for divorce from Jax, 45, citing irreconcilable differences and requesting full physical and legal custody of their 3-year-old son, Cruz Michael Cauchi.
On September 16, Us Weekly revealed that Brittany was reportedly met with “graphic and explicit text messages” between Jax and the unnamed woman as cameras rolled.
“[Jax] has been spending time with several different women who he meets at his bar or the gym, which is upsetting for those close to him because he isn’t focused on getting the help he needs,” an insider explained. “He can do what he wants, but of course it hurts Brittany.”
While a photo surfaced over the weekend of Jax getting close to another woman at the cast event, Brittany quickly confirmed that the woman in question was not her.
“That’s definitely not me, I don’t want him in my face,” she stated.
As the source shared, the woman was someone Jax met at the gym and is currently dating.
“He is single, but it’s hard for Brittany and those close to Jax to see his actions,” the insider revealed. “That said, he loves his son and has been a good dad to [their 3-year-old] Cruz.”
At the end of last month, on an episode of her and Jax’s shared podcast, When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany, Brittany explained the reason behind her decision to end her marriage.
“I unfortunately can’t speak to details since everything has been heavily documented on the show since we happen to be filming right now,” she shared. “You will see how everything plays out once the show airs, but I will say this: This season has been the most difficult season I have ever had to film. I never imagined I’d go through something so personal and painful while having the world watch.”
“My decision to file wasn’t made lightly or quickly,” she continued. “It’s taken me many, many years to get to this point where I gained enough courage and strength to do what’s best for me, get myself out of a toxic relationship and ultimately see my worth.”
Also on their podcast, Jax shared his side of the story, admitting that when it came to Brittany’s decision to file for divorce, it was “the right decision for [their] family.”
“I’ll always love and care for Brittany. She’s the mother of my beautiful son. All I want for us is to be amicable and even hopefully really, really good friends. One day. I know I’m an amazing father and I know that I will make an excellent ex-husband,” he stated.
The Valley season two is expected to begin airing on Bravo sometime later this year or early next year.
