Brittany Cartwright has been granted a temporary protective order against Jax Taylor, her estranged husband.
Brittany Cartwright has been granted a restraining order against Jax Taylor.
The 37-year-old reality TV star has been granted a temporary protective order against her estranged husband, after she accused Jax of domestic violence, Us Weekly reports.
Brittany alleges that Taylor, 47, exhibited "coercive control, financial abuse, emotional and psychological abuse, gaslighting and even physical violence perpetrated upon" her for nearly ten years.
Brittany - who separated from Jax in 2024 - has also alleged that her estranged husband once threatened to "gut [her] like a fish" and physically attacked her.
Jax has now been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Brittany. However, her request for sole custody of their five-year-old son has been denied by the court.
Jax has not yet publicly addressed the allegations.
Earlier this month, meanwhile, Jax claimed to be "in the happiest place [he's] ever been".
The reality star is currently dating Lori Krebs, Brittany's former publicist, and Jax revealed that he's feeling particularly upbeat about his future, having overcome various issues in his personal life in recent years.
In a video published by Page Six, he shared: "I love her to death. You can’t help who you fall in love with. Everybody deserves to find happiness."
Jax has overcome his own mental health challenges and is now in a great frame of mind.
He said: "I’m in the happiest place I’ve ever been, and I couldn’t be happier right now. My mental health has been so amazing since I’ve been with her."
Despite this, Jax can understand why his new romance has upset Brittany.
The reality star also refuted some of Brittany's recent accusations about himself and Lori.
He explained: "I understand Brittany's upset.
"She has every right to be, but a lot of the stuff she's saying is untrue.
"A lot of the stuff she's bringing up is from three years ago. Nobody has seen me in the last eight to nine months. I've gone through countless amounts of rehab, countless amounts of mental health facilities.
"I go to therapy. I've been working on myself so much, so I think this is kind of unfair to bring this up all of a sudden because of what's going on."
