Brittany Cartwright, star of Vanderpump Rules, has secured a temporary restraining order against her estranged husband Jax Taylor. E! Online reports that a judge ordered Taylor to stay 100 yards away from Cartwright and blocked him from obtaining sole custody of their 5-year-old son Cruz. The move comes after Cartwright filed allegations of years of domestic violence, including threats to kill her, physical assaults, and financial abuse.
Cartwright stated she is "in genuine fear of my safety," according to Yahoo News. The restraining order is temporary, with a full custody hearing pending. Taylor is dating Lori Krebs, a former publicist and friend of Cartwright's, adding another layer to their contentious divorce proceedings.
Death Threats and Physical Violence Alleged
Cartwright claims Taylor threatened to "gut her like a fish" during their breakup, according to Taste of Reality. She also alleges he threw furniture that caused her injuries and destroyed multiple devices—three iPhones, an iPad, and other property. Cartwright says these incidents occurred as their marriage deteriorated after they wed in 2019 and split in 2024.
Pattern of Coercive Control and Abuse
Beyond physical violence, Cartwright accuses Taylor of years of emotional abuse, gaslighting, and financial control. Yahoo News reports she claims he called her explicit insults including "bitch," "fat ass bitch," and "whore" both privately and in front of their son. Cartwright also alleges Taylor stalked her by accessing her iPhone and social media accounts without permission, deleting messages and removing a $70,000 wedding ring from their home.
Custody Battle Intensifies Over Co-Parenting Violations
Cartwright claims Taylor violated their privacy agreement by posting private messages about their son Cruz on the co-parenting site OurFamilyWizard without her consent. A November 2024 car incident added to her concerns, she states, where Taylor allegedly yelled at her during a drive. The judge's temporary custody block prevents Taylor from gaining sole parental rights while the dispute continues.
