The fact that Brittany and his son are staying in a B&B tells me everything I could ever want to know about Jax. The fact that he wouldn't leave the house so his son could enjoy the comforts of home and not be uprooted from his daily routine is disturbing. He seemed to change after his father passed away and he asked Brittany to marry him, but it seems he has fallen into his old ways. Move on Brittany you deserve so much better!!! You are beautiful inside and out!!!
I certainly hope but you guys don't let Sheena and Nala be on the valley, she know totally sold her house moved into their eyes so she could be on that show she even said she didn't want BPR to start till after fall That way everyone can be done with the valley. I'm going to tell you one thing she didn't care when you got fired did she ever make a phone call and see how you were doing. Is all there going to do is turn it into VPR and you guys don't want that You're on a different path. I know you're very very nice but I would tell if she never know go to your own show
Brittany I stayed 40 years with a man like Jax hoping he would change. He never did. Dont go back. He won’t change because he doesn’t think anything is wrong with him. He thinks it’s all your fault and always will be. Your son will be better off nit living in a home with a narcissist/sociopath. You are doing the right thing. Stay strong beautiful lady ❤
It took me 5 hard abusive manipulating years to realize this ❤ they dont, they wont, and you are wasting your life with someone who could care less deep down
Over 25 yrs for me, I’ve been dealing with challenging health issues and I’m now disabled, you can’t change a zebra’s stripes, he’s a cruel, abusive narcissist and will never change, it’s taken me awhile to accept it but I certainly have (our issue now is the new dream home we’d just purchased two years ago that was ordered to be sold, he’s been cancelling agents’ scheduled showings and refusing to pay his court ordered spousal support knowing I need it in order to live, just disgusting)!
@@maryschoonover15 it is better they are not together if they are constantly fighting. Cruz does not need to witness his father talking down to his mother. You think he will be better with Cruz?
She is done with jax. She does not appear upset at all. She showed more emotion when he cheated with faith and even when he told her it wasnt working out. Its so true. Once you reach the breaking point, theres no going back. Good for you brittany. At least you didn't waste 20 years with this fool. She will be fine. Jax will be a lonely old bachelor
I think she just believes she has control of him but she does not, it seems she thinks that she’s giving him fear that she will leave for good (which she won’t) and she seems to think that her being gone will “change” him but No. I think it’s the only reason why she seems to act cool in the situation. But if it came down to her actually filling for divorce and selling the house and leaving her husband than it would hit her completely different than it is now.

@@glitterarmy89 She knew how Jax was! I always felt like she was just in it for the Money 🤑💰. Jax said that her Family calls her " Brat'ney"! I am tired of her Playing the Victim!
Can we appreciate her for answering the hard questions honestly? She’s one of the realest cast members I’ve ever met. She doesn’t pull that.. “We’re working on things and things are just hard right now..” She is so genuine and honest on what’s going on in real time. I kind of have to give that to her for being with someone like Jax. He’s the person to dance around things. She’s blunt and honest with answering questions.

She’s totally right - the public is very hard on her. Comments on her appearance especially post baby is so wrong. She seems like such a lovely person and I hope her self confidence is solid. ❤
She gained 70 pounds with Cruz. Jax is extremely shallow. He is not the first guy to be turned off by his wife's post-baby figure. Sad but unfortunately true.
She needs to go ahead and pull the plug on that marriage. Jax won’t get any better he’s just waiting for Brittany to give in. She can do a million times better.
Exactly. When I saw a flashback of when he cheated, his reaction when telling her was almost like, "yes. It happened. You're leaving me now... right?" like he doesn't want to be the bad guy for dumping her, so he does something to make her do it instead.
It's called narcissistic abuse. I'm so glad Brittany is finally finding her inner strength to see things how they are! You'll be fine girl, even better than before! ❤️✨
Brittany, you are so strong! PLEASE give therapy a try! From an older lady, please dont waste time figuring it out. Rooting for you. Therapy is not a negative, its like you talked about "talking to gfs" but deeper . xo Much love to you and your baby
@@MyBeautifulHealthif you've had bad experiences I hope you reported them! I've had a handful of not so great therapists however the others I've worked with have more than made up for it. That's why I tell people if you have a W-2 employer or a EAP plan with your employer most of them will cover three or four visits to various therapists before you pick one so that you could pick one that you really connect with you owe that to yourself so I hope in the future you will give it another go. I have a friend right now that I know would be so much happier if she would go and work with the counselor she's in a very difficult marriage and had a not so great experience with the counselor and that has colored her whole experience now counseling and I've tried to explain to her that that is One bad Apple and a barrel of good ones you can't give up that easily and did not yourself the freedom that you get from going to counseling. My last counselor who just retired gave me so many tools and help me to understand that I was with the extremely dangerous covert narcissist I don't think I would have made it out alive without her help.
Its so refreshing to see Brittany FINALLY opening her eyes and having some self worth! Its so hard to see it for what it is when you're in the middle of that, but everyone on the outside can see how obvious and toxic it is. She's describing an abusive relationship like from the Webster's dictionary here and it's greaaaattt to hear her finally speak it! Its amazing the strength and instinct a mother has to protect her babies and she's probably never gonna get back with him. Watch out fellas, Brittany will be roaming the streets of LA as a very single lady!
Yeah that's a diccc move. I mean why wouldn't he want her and his son to be around everything that he has ever known. His room and everything. We knew he was a P.O.S. but that's so low especially when he keeps trying to say he wants to be just like his dad.
OMG he is not a great father…he pretends to be whatever he wants to be but believe me he would destroy your son because he is not capable of loving anyone but HIMSELF! A great father is kind loving and selfless! Those are qualities JAX does not possess! He makes my blood boil with his assholish ways!
Brittany is an amazing woman and she deserves way better then Jax she needs to be treated like the queen she is!!! Brittany deserves all the happiness in the world❤
@@MyBeautifulHealth I'm a retired teacher, and I find in my old age I do stupid thing like use "then" for "than" and I NEVER did anything like that in my youth. A lot of times it's just a typo. So I refrain from saying anything to people because first of all, you aren't going to change them at this stage of life, and secondly it's really kind of mean.
@@christyb.2272 it really isn’t mean. You can go on keeping it to yourself. I’m going to go ahead and correct every spelling and grammatical mistake I come across. We must not lose our ability to communicate properly and effectively. Words matter. I will die on this hill.
I'm sure the conversation went something like this: "I pay more of the bills than you do!" 😂He's a douche. Last episode when he started to say that and instead said, "I know what bills I pay... And I know what bills you pay....it's overwhelming." he really wanted to end it with "... and I pay more!!! " 😂
Jax is the typical narcissist. Nothing is his fault and gaslight if at all possible. Brittany needs to file for divorce, get a good lawyer and force a sale of the house and give Jax a reality check by moving on. She deserves someone that treats her like a queen.
Was in a relationship like this for almost 10 years. Wasted my 20s on a narcissist sociopath. IMO they don't change their behavior. Ever. One of the biggest lessons I learned is "the accuser is the abuser."
BRITNEY!!! I just want to tell you that yall are doing an amazing job with Cruise!!! My son is 15 now however back when he was around 18months we also noticed he wasn't hitting the speech milestones at the pediatrician so in PA they have the EARLY INTERVENTION program that we got him started with right away and then they were saying he may not speech much at all but he's always been able to be in regular education classes and now at 15 he was just asked to be a part of the DEBATE TEAM!!!! He still has speech once a week and once in awhile can be hard to understand if he talks too fast buy he is doing amazing and imo those therapists saved him!!!! And I truly feel like they gave him a life he might have not had without them!!!
My now 9 year old also wasn't speaking clearly and only saying a few words by two and we got him into speech right away. He was speaking in six months! It was amazing honestly. Now we're going thru the autism diagnosis with him mostly due to his social skills lacking, however he's top of his class, makes straight A's every semester, reads at a 7th grade level and is insanely talented in art and computer programming and design. Early intervention is the absolute best place to start.
My youngest Niece was going through the same thing with her son. I was concerned that he was suffering from hearing issues. Finally got her to take him to the ear nose and throat Doctor. Because she had used q-tips so much he had a huge chunk of wax longer than a cigarette! Poor kid couldn't hear because of his ears being clogged with wax from his mom shoving it down in the ear canal with those q-tips. Please don't use them Now that kid talks so much you can't shut him up! 😂 He knows just about everything on everything to do with dinosaur's!!! 😂 Straight A student. My son was the same way. He lagged a bit then caught up. Now he's doing fantastic. Straight A.
I’m so glad she’s using her strong voice and speaking her mind! Whatever her future holds, let this be the start of a great new chapter where she never has to walk on eggshells, and can say what she feels. Whoever stays is meant to be around her, whoever doesn’t adiós
First time ever watching this channel. I just want to make a comment that the interviewer is one of the best interviewers I’ve ever seen. She asks thought out questions and then she lets Brittany talk. She knows when to interject exactly at the right time. I’m really impressed with the interviewer. I just subscribed.
To be honest I feel after watching this interviewer with so many other interviews and with ppl like Khloe Kardashian now in comparison she acts very bored with the ppl that aren’t as famous as the Kardashians now she has had them so I’m a lil disappointed but she still has a great interview style but seeing her face it’s very obvious the not as big celebrity’s def look like a job to her where if you watch her on a big celebrity interview she is so happy and giddy you can tell it’s not a job cuz she loves it and she used to be that way with everyone which is what made me sub back then so it’s just sad that it’s hanged her. I feel maybe these ones shouldn’t be filmed so we wouldn’t see the difference is all. I’m hoping maybe she will re evaluate and drop the star struckness so to speak and maybe not want to be besties with only the hot celebrity’s cuz I do feel she was such a better person than this b4 hand!! Ppl say money changes ppl so maybe it can also change ppl back in time!!! There’s always hope! 🙏 ❤❤❤❤ I love Britt!! She’s amazing and authentic!! I wish and hope she has a man that shows up and treats her like a dream cuz she deserves it!!!
@@sassysandra245Hi Sassy, This is my first time watching this interviewer. I don’t like her at all. She sits back in the chair acting so nonchalant. There is just something about her that rubs me wrong. I adore Brittany. That is why I am watching this interview.
Brittany, I urge you to read up on Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It will really hit home and explain a lot of things. You are strong and will get stronger. Good luck!❤
Brittany is honest here and should never explain Jax's behaviour to anyone especially since she had to move out. It's interesting how he did not want to come and see Stassi being happy and getting married. Brittany don't give up on yourself. Don't go back to this relationship just because Jax might be nice for one day. Stay strong!
Him not wanting to go to Stassis wedding is very telling for me. Didn’t he even like a comment someone left that said he should have married stassi recently.
Brittany was the best thing to happen to Jason. My son also wouldn’t talk until his father left. Seeing her struggle about Cruz’s lack of talking made me remember how much my little one thrived once my toxic relationship was over too. So when she just said Cruz is thriving, I just knew. Best wishes to Brittany! She definitely deserves the world!!!
Long time fan of Vanderpump Rules. Much love to fabulous Brittany! She's a strong woman who puts family and friends first. I don't get the impression that she changed for money or fame and that she is 1 thousand percent committed to her son, Cruz. Much love to you, pretty and strong and capable lady. I believe that she and Cruz deserve the world. Hopefully Jax can step up... but if not, they will find someone to be her match and a great stepdad to her son.
Brittany is really not a smart gal. The split of finances is whack. If she’s paying for an air BnB, I wouldn’t be paying for all expenses for a house I’m not living in. Jax continues to. Bamboozle her.
However your not alone. I'm amazed at seeing the amount of support groups for those who are getting out. Highly recommend getting counseling with someone who knows about narcissistic abuse. I was so lucky that my counselor saw it from the beginning.
I just left a 12 year relationship with a narcissist. The similarities are on point. She can NEVER win! It doesn’t matter how much weight she loses, how successful she is, or how good of a mom she is. He will always put her down and will never treat her the way he did at the beginning when he was love bombing! Jax is a classic narcissist and cannot change! He will always think he’s better than everyone else and make light of his past discretions. He will always be stubborn and a gaslighter!! He will do his best to make her feel like he is better off without her and more successful without her. He will never thank her for changing what people thought about him and saving his career. She thought too much of him and gave him too much credit. He’s NOT a good person!
Is it honest to stay with a man who subjects her to his particular brand of abuse, just for the fame and money that came from a reality show? She’s no innocent, southern belle, and never has been.
And yet if you flip the script to “It’s amazing that it took her having a child to understand her worth more” it changes eh?🥰 A child’s Soul chooses their parents before incarnating. There are no coincidences or accidents in life💫
I wish we all could be nice n happy like Britney she really is the epitome of a good human being. No matter wat she is going through she looks for the good in everything. She doesn't let anyone change her mood she keeps it together.
Brittany, I just want to say as a mother of two boys, you're doing phenomenal!!! My first son, I took everything so serious, felt like I had to keep up with all the other mom's. By the time I had my second son, I didn't care what people thought anymore. I just wanna drive home, my second, to a LONG time to talk... he's 11 now, he's in the gifted program at his school, he tests at over an 8th grade level, in 5th grade, in language arts. So just enjoy your time with Cruz, cause it goes by so so quickly, enjoy every second and don't let others giv you sh!t❤
“My mom watches the show and knew who Jax was and my best friend Katie was a fan of the show and I was taking their pictures but I didn’t know anything about the show🥴” okay sweetheart😂
Textbook narcissist and codependent relationship. Brittany is getting clarity and should absolutely get her child as far from him as possible. He won't look in the mirror and do the work and if she gets back with him it will get worse and go on and on. So many of us have fallen down this hole.
I don't think it's fair to suggest that his son should be kept away from him! I'm sure you probably mean it with the best of intentions.. but seriously, you should consider your views around this important stuff.. considering nearly 50% of relationships resulting in children end up not lasting. It's a very real issue.. and I'm just trying to imagine the number of replies to your comment had you written that Jax should keep Cruz as far away as possible from his Mum due to her narcicistic tendencies. The gender gap on this one really needs more healthy conversation.. because with there being nothing more important than family.. it's a massive issue.. and once parental alienation has occurred.. it can be extremely challenging for relationships to be restored 😔
to be clear, I mean she should be the primary parent. a narcissistic parent is about themselves and can be very damaging to a child's development and ability to have healthy emotional attachments. Any of you believing Jax is just being a guy really are lucky to not have an understanding of how awful these charming snakes are and the destruction they leave in their wake. Brittany seems to have gained some ability to see through it probably because she is now a mother and she will do what is right for her child.
Take my advice I am 70 years old and had four children with a narcissistic self centered ass for 20 years…..I deserved to be happy and finally left too got remarried to the most wonderful man for the past 25 years, I wished I would have left sooner! So RUN Girl RUN never look back find your happy cuz it will never happen with this type of person EVER!
I hope she get's the help to set stronger boundaries and let go of the people pleasing it's so exhausting. It's taken me years to get to this point.. Once you realize that it's none of your business what others think about you. ❤ It's truly freeing!!! I'd love to see her with a very successful & nice man who will love her completely. 🙏🏻🦋
Its annoying that Brittney still can’t see that she was love bombed by a narcissist. And she was an enabler selected primarily because she would make him look good and she would enable his bad behaviour.
I 100% believe Lala and Jax hooked up. The sub on reddit convinced me more 😂 but that S5/S6 era they fasho hooked up, especially the trip episode when Lala went off on Jax . I recently rewatched I 100 percent believe they fooled around
The Lala now who isn't real anymore will never admit it. At least not until she gets on the Valley or finds another rich husband . I no longer like. There were things I didn't care for before but I liked that she was honest. Real like Katie . Not this past season. Watch out Britney look what Lala and Schena did to their so called beastie Ariana
Brittany deserves so much more. I think Jax is giving narcissistic traits 🚩🚩🚩! And if so he’s never going to change. I hope she stays strong and gets a happy life and future with her beautiful son. ❤️
I have a grandson that’s 3 and has a speech delay also and going to speech therapy and so smart.💖💕Brittany is the sweetest and so pretty and she does deserve better 🥰
3:45 that’s crazy her mom watched the show and accepted her dating jax. Ain’t no way, and tbh i am not fully buying she had never seen the show but even if she hadn’t, to stick around when there is footage of who he was, wild it was like written for that to become her future
You do realize that Brittany Cartwright's mother has been married four times and she is a raging alcoholic so I don't really think that any type of marriage advice that Brittnay's mother would help, but your correct Brittany's mother should have stepped in day one when she saw the way that Jax was treating her daughter and put a stop to it right then and there. Another thing I would love to say that I do not agree with what Brittany is saying, that she is putting her son first but if that was really true the first thing she should do is get Cruz to his pediatrician NOW and find out why at the age of three that he is completely quit talking, he covers his ears with loud noises, he arranges his toys in color-coded sequences, and he is regressed in each and every milestone that he should be hitting. I am absolutely not a doctor but Cruz is showing all the indicators of autism, early intervention whether it is autism or something else the most critical key and we all know that, secondly Brittany needs to stop with her drinking and I don't mean just because she is a mother now that Brittnay can't go out once in awhile and have a good time with her friends because she absolutely can but that is not what she is doing because Brittany admitted that she likes going out with her friends and she gets the babysitter to stay with Cruz at night and then she has the babysitter spend the night because she gets so drunk that she can't take care of him the next morning /day because she is too hungover and Brittany has admitted to doing that on a pretty regular basis, the same exact thing goes for his father when he does have Cruz he should definitely not be getting wasted off his ass to where you can't take care of him either, Brittany needs to stop making excuses for Jax and make him have consequences for all the shitty things that he does, if Brittany and Jax can't get their things together and it is already been 4 months that they have been separated and she just admitted to us that she is seen no change in him then Brittany is the one that needs to go file for a divorce, I hate more than anything to even say that but Cruz deserves to have a mom and dad that are not constantly fighting and screaming at each other because that is not good for him either, and the way that Brittnay is acting in this interview with her laughing and giggling I personally don't believe that she is taking this seriously, and Brittany needs to go get some help with being codependent on a narcissist because that's exactly what Jax is !! I believe that Brittany Cartwright is a very good person but right now Cruz already has his dad going off the rails and he doesn't need his mother to be doing the same thing !!! I know I sound very critical as hell but I think we can all agree that Brittnay is going to be the only one to be able to fix this because Jax will not leave her because she always comes running back to him and also they have filming to do together and I don't think either one of them want to give up that money but they wouldn't have to if they only went ahead and got a divorce and at least try to stay cordial to each other for the sake of their son !! Britney is 35 years old and I believe Jax is 41 so there is no more excuses for these two to still be acting like they did when they were on Vanderpump Rules and were a hell of a lot younger !! My biggest concern is that little boy Cruz and I just hope and pray he is okay.
I hate how people act like a child not talking yet is a reflection of parenting. Don't stress about Cruz not talking yet! My son had speech issues when he was that age. My friend's son didn't speak at all till he was 3.5, but then he just took off and talked so much. Everything will be fine! 💜
My son is 3.5 and just now is talking in coherent sentences. He knew his numbers and alphabet by 18 minths but It took him longer than "usual" to speak as well but he is doing great now. My first born son was talking by 18 months full sentences at 2. But he had harder time with alphabet and numbers but eventually got there by 4 years old. All kids are so so different and just NC they don't develope and hit milestones that are considered typical, does not mean they need to be diagnosed and medicated. I saw it happen with my nephew. He was
Love love love Brittany! I think it speaks volumes to the type of person she is to have stayed herself and stayed humble through this crazy reality tv journey
Jax not moving out of the home to allow his own innocent son and estranged wife stay tells you all you need to know. Jax is not a man and has no idea how to love or to be a good human being. I wish Brit all the best- she deserves it.
Can we just appreciate how GORGEOUS Brittany is!!! She looks amazing, and she is GLOWING now that she dropped over 200lbs of dead weight! Dead weight = JAX.
I truly hope Brittany has learned that when a person shows you who they are from the BEGINNING you are accepting them as presented! Jax was an entire jackass from day 1. He did not fool her, she settled for it.
Why all the Jax bashing? She kinda knew what she was getting into from her description. She was warned by everybody even her mom. Why do women always think they are special enough to change a 'bad boy'?
Brittany deserves a kind not narcissistic love. She seems so kind and caring. As a large breasted woman, they are fun when you're younger, (I never had an augmentation) but nobody needs this sh it when you are old enough to not care. I hope she finds the kind of person she and her kids deserve.
The fact that Brittany and his son are staying in a B&B tells me everything I could ever want to know about Jax. The fact that he wouldn't leave the house so his son could enjoy the comforts of home and not be uprooted from his daily routine is disturbing. He seemed to change after his father passed away and he asked Brittany to marry him, but it seems he has fallen into his old ways. Move on Brittany you deserve so much better!!! You are beautiful inside and out!!!
Omg this might sound creepy but did you post this exact same comment in the valley subreddit?? hahaha I read it the other day and was like EXACTLY!
Brittany and her son must move back into their house. They should live there. Not the father Jax.
I feel bad for Brittany I too was on the bandwagon Jax has changed boy was I fooled. I agree with you 100% he should be in the B&B not Brittany
Brittany didn't want to stay at the house.
I certainly hope but you guys don't let Sheena and Nala be on the valley, she know totally sold her house moved into their eyes so she could be on that show she even said she didn't want BPR to start till after fall That way everyone can be done with the valley. I'm going to tell you one thing she didn't care when you got fired did she ever make a phone call and see how you were doing. Is all there going to do is turn it into VPR and you guys don't want that You're on a different path. I know you're very very nice but I would tell if she never know go to your own show
Brittany has stayed the same from the beginning to present. She’s a lovely soul and her son is beautiful. I wish her all the happiness. ❤
Life is hard, you *have to* change..🎶
Of course she’s changed!
She’s grown so much!
Great interview!
Really? New boobs, chin, Botox, drinking habits?
Me too!!!!!!
Brittany I stayed 40 years with a man like Jax hoping he would change. He never did. Dont go back. He won’t change because he doesn’t think anything is wrong with him. He thinks it’s all your fault and always will be. Your son will be better off nit living in a home with a narcissist/sociopath. You are doing the right thing. Stay strong beautiful lady ❤
You have to remember that Jax is the Father of that little boy Cruz💖🙌🙏🙌
It took me 5 hard abusive manipulating years to realize this ❤ they dont, they wont, and you are wasting your life with someone who could care less deep down
Exactly correct. He thinks there is nothing wrong with him. That's the biggest problem.
Over 25 yrs for me, I’ve been dealing with challenging health issues and I’m now disabled, you can’t change a zebra’s stripes, he’s a cruel, abusive narcissist and will never change, it’s taken me awhile to accept it but I certainly have (our issue now is the new dream home we’d just purchased two years ago that was ordered to be sold, he’s been cancelling agents’ scheduled showings and refusing to pay his court ordered spousal support knowing I need it in order to live, just disgusting)!

The things he said to faith about Brittany were disgusting, he’s the worst.
I think she just believes she has control of him but she does not, it seems she thinks that she’s giving him fear that she will leave for good (which she won’t) and she seems to think that her being gone will “change” him but No. I think it’s the only reason why she seems to act cool in the situation.

Once I had my son it's as if it all clicked and I literally left from the hospital w my baby and never looked back
No but she had a child with him and he's only sticking around for 3 years. That's not a good thing. She's a bad mother

Imagine having Brittany as a mother. She's such a sweetheart. Cruz is very lucky
I’d love it!

Yes but she doesn’t have a therapist which to me is a reflection of her denial and immaturity.

Competent therapists are few and far between. So many do significantly more harm than good.

I am so proud she finally drew a line for herself.
@@MyBeautifulHealthif you've had bad experiences I hope you reported them! I've had a handful of not so great therapists however the others I've worked with have more than made up for it.
That's why I tell people if you have a W-2 employer or a EAP plan with your employer most of them will cover three or four visits to various therapists before you pick one so that you could pick one that you really connect with you owe that to yourself so I hope in the future you will give it another go.
I have a friend right now that I know would be so much happier if she would go and work with the counselor she's in a very difficult marriage and had a not so great experience with the counselor and that has colored her whole experience now counseling and I've tried to explain to her that that is One bad Apple and a barrel of good ones you can't give up that easily and did not yourself the freedom that you get from going to counseling. My last counselor who just retired gave me so many tools and help me to understand that I was with the extremely dangerous covert narcissist I don't think I would have made it out alive without her help.
Its so refreshing to see Brittany FINALLY opening her eyes and having some self worth! Its so hard to see it for what it is when you're in the middle of that, but everyone on the outside can see how obvious and toxic it is. She's describing an abusive relationship like from the Webster's dictionary here and it's greaaaattt to hear her finally speak it! Its amazing the strength and instinct a mother has to protect her babies and she's probably never gonna get back with him. Watch out fellas, Brittany will be roaming the streets of LA as a very single lady!
"He's a great father," says the woman who had to leave the marital home with her child because Jax could not be bothered.
Yeah that's a diccc move. I mean why wouldn't he want her and his son to be around everything that he has ever known. His room and everything. We knew he was a P.O.S. but that's so low especially when he keeps trying to say he wants to be just like his dad.
OMG he is not a great father…he pretends to be whatever he wants to be but believe me he would destroy your son because he is not capable of loving anyone but HIMSELF! A great father is kind loving and selfless! Those are qualities JAX does not possess! He makes my blood boil with his assholish ways!
Jax was bad from the start she’s just seeing his true colours now
He’s a terrible father. Great fathers don’t treat the baby’s mother that way. No one will ever convince me he hasn’t laid a hand on her.
Just because they didn’t work out doesn’t mean he isn’t a great father. I will take Brittany’s words over someone who isn’t in their situation. Js.
I don’t see a world where Brittany’s life is better when being in a relationship with Jax. He just seems unbelievably TOXIC
She's better off alone than with Jax.
Brittany is an amazing woman and she deserves way better then Jax she needs to be treated like the queen she is!!! Brittany deserves all the happiness in the world❤

@@MyBeautifulHealth I'm a retired teacher, and I find in my old age I do stupid thing like use "then" for "than" and I NEVER did anything like that in my youth. A lot of times it's just a typo. So I refrain from saying anything to people because first of all, you aren't going to change them at this stage of life, and secondly it's really kind of mean.
@@christyb.2272 it really isn’t mean.
You can go on keeping it to yourself. I’m going to go ahead and correct every spelling and grammatical mistake I come across.

Brittany is the definition of toxic positivity.
Brittany having to live in an airB&B WITH THEIR SON says everything! I hope she sees that!
I'm sure the conversation went something like this: "I pay more of the bills than you do!" 😂He's a douche.
Last episode when he started to say that and instead said, "I know what bills I pay... And I know what bills you pay....it's overwhelming." he really wanted to end it with "... and I pay more!!! " 😂
Jax is the typical narcissist. Nothing is his fault and gaslight if at all possible. Brittany needs to file for divorce, get a good lawyer and force a sale of the house and give Jax a reality check by moving on. She deserves someone that treats her like a queen.
I know that Brittany would have divorced Jax if they have that sweet little boy Cruz💖🙌🙏🙌 Brittany as a wonderful Mom💎👑💞
Was in a relationship like this for almost 10 years. Wasted my 20s on a narcissist sociopath. IMO they don't change their behavior. Ever. One of the biggest lessons I learned is "the accuser is the abuser."
Yes! Brittany has won me over 💯
BRITNEY!!! I just want to tell you that yall are doing an amazing job with Cruise!!! My son is 15 now however back when he was around 18months we also noticed he wasn't hitting the speech milestones at the pediatrician so in PA they have the EARLY INTERVENTION program that we got him started with right away and then they were saying he may not speech much at all but he's always been able to be in regular education classes and now at 15 he was just asked to be a part of the DEBATE TEAM!!!! He still has speech once a week and once in awhile can be hard to understand if he talks too fast buy he is doing amazing and imo those therapists saved him!!!! And I truly feel like they gave him a life he might have not had without them!!!
That’s wonderful, what an inspiring, positive message. Wishing your son all the best!
My now 9 year old also wasn't speaking clearly and only saying a few words by two and we got him into speech right away. He was speaking in six months! It was amazing honestly. Now we're going thru the autism diagnosis with him mostly due to his social skills lacking, however he's top of his class, makes straight A's every semester, reads at a 7th grade level and is insanely talented in art and computer programming and design. Early intervention is the absolute best place to start.
My youngest Niece was going through the same thing with her son.
I was concerned that he was suffering from hearing issues. Finally got her to take him to the ear nose and throat Doctor.
Because she had used q-tips so much he had a huge chunk of wax longer than a cigarette! Poor kid couldn't hear because of his ears being clogged with wax from his mom shoving it down in the ear canal with those q-tips. Please don't use them
Now that kid talks so much you can't shut him up! 😂
He knows just about everything on everything to do with dinosaur's!!! 😂 Straight A student. My son was the same way. He lagged a bit then caught up. Now he's doing fantastic. Straight A.
Love this post! Your son sounds amazing ❤
Jax
Will never
Change
No he won’t. He causes misery for people around him. 🤮
Love how there's a 69 under that with a thumbs up hahahah
I’m so glad she’s using her strong voice and speaking her mind! Whatever her future holds, let this be the start of a great new chapter where she never has to walk on eggshells, and can say what she feels. Whoever stays is meant to be around her, whoever doesn’t adiós
First time ever watching this channel. I just want to make a comment that the interviewer is one of the best interviewers I’ve ever seen. She asks thought out questions and then she lets Brittany talk. She knows when to interject exactly at the right time. I’m really impressed with the interviewer. I just subscribed.
To be honest I feel after watching this interviewer with so many other interviews and with ppl like Khloe Kardashian now in comparison she acts very bored with the ppl that aren’t as famous as the Kardashians now she has had them so I’m a lil disappointed but she still has a great interview style but seeing her face it’s very obvious the not as big celebrity’s def look like a job to her where if you watch her on a big celebrity interview she is so happy and giddy you can tell it’s not a job cuz she loves it and she used to be that way with everyone which is what made me sub back then so it’s just sad that it’s hanged her. I feel maybe these ones shouldn’t be filmed so we wouldn’t see the difference is all. I’m hoping maybe she will re evaluate and drop the star struckness so to speak and maybe not want to be besties with only the hot celebrity’s cuz I do feel she was such a better person than this b4 hand!! Ppl say money changes ppl so maybe it can also change ppl back in time!!! There’s always hope! 🙏 ❤❤❤❤ I love Britt!! She’s amazing and authentic!! I wish and hope she has a man that shows up and treats her like a dream cuz she deserves it!!!
Agreed - re the interviewer- relaxed,informal,inspires confidences.
@@sassysandra245Hi Sassy, This is my first time watching this interviewer. I don’t like her at all. She sits back in the chair acting so nonchalant. There is just something about her that rubs me wrong. I adore Brittany. That is why I am watching this interview.
Amanda is a pro.
Classic codependent and narcissist relationship. Been there, bought the t-shirt.
Brittany is the definition of toxic positivity.
Bought the t shirt? Me too. I had NO idea I was married to a narc. He was DEMONIC. FR.
Proud of you Brittany. You live and learn, keep growing and healing ❤
Wow, splitting the bills the way they do with Jax paying the mortgage and him remaining in the home seems VERY calculated on Jax's part.
It's gross. It gives Sandoval energy
She is always so open and honest,wishing the best for her 💕
Brittany, I urge you to read up on Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It will really hit home and explain a lot of things. You are strong and will get stronger. Good luck!❤
And she should also read up on codependency.
Brittany is honest here and should never explain Jax's behaviour to anyone especially since she had to move out. It's interesting how he did not want to come and see Stassi being happy and getting married.
Brittany don't give up on yourself. Don't go back to this relationship just because Jax might be nice for one day. Stay strong!
Him not wanting to go to Stassis wedding is very telling for me. Didn’t he even like a comment someone left that said he should have married stassi recently.
@@Ashley-qu1bc He did like the comment.
Brittany was the best thing to happen to Jason. My son also wouldn’t talk until his father left. Seeing her struggle about Cruz’s lack of talking made me remember how much my little one thrived once my toxic relationship was over too. So when she just said Cruz is thriving, I just knew.
Best wishes to Brittany! She definitely deserves the world!!!
Long time fan of Vanderpump Rules. Much love to fabulous Brittany! She's a strong woman who puts family and friends first. I don't get the impression that she changed for money or fame and that she is 1 thousand percent committed to her son, Cruz. Much love to you, pretty and strong and capable lady. I believe that she and Cruz deserve the world. Hopefully Jax can step up... but if not, they will find someone to be her match and a great stepdad to her son.
Brittany is definitely a kind soul, she would be someone I’d want as my friend for sure ❤
Brittany is really not a smart gal. The split of finances is whack. If she’s paying for an air BnB, I wouldn’t be paying for all expenses for a house I’m not living in. Jax continues to. Bamboozle her.
Brittany I'm going through something similar, your an inspiration, it's hard leaving a narcissistic relationship ❤
However your not alone. I'm amazed at seeing the amount of support groups for those who are getting out. Highly recommend getting counseling with someone who knows about narcissistic abuse. I was so lucky that my counselor saw it from the beginning.
I just left a 12 year relationship with a narcissist. The similarities are on point. She can NEVER win! It doesn’t matter how much weight she loses, how successful she is, or how good of a mom she is. He will always put her down and will never treat her the way he did at the beginning when he was love bombing! Jax is a classic narcissist and cannot change! He will always think he’s better than everyone else and make light of his past discretions. He will always be stubborn and a gaslighter!! He will do his best to make her feel like he is better off without her and more successful without her. He will never thank her for changing what people thought about him and saving his career. She thought too much of him and gave him too much credit. He’s NOT a good person!
Jax is a SOCIOPATH. They can’t be fixed. It’s not possible.
At least she’s honest unlike some bravo fakes .
Is it honest to stay with a man who subjects her to his particular brand of abuse, just for the fame and money that came from a reality show? She’s no innocent, southern belle, and never has been.
Amazing interview!!! Love ya Brittany. Keep inspiring & being you!❤
It's sad that it took her having a child to see her worth 💔
I’d bet that happens that way more often than not, at least she’s keen to it now!
And yet if you flip the script to “It’s amazing that it took her having a child to understand her worth more” it changes eh?🥰
A child’s Soul chooses their parents before incarnating. There are no coincidences or accidents in life💫
It’s impossible to not like Brittany.
I wish her well❤
I love Brittany and how open and honest she is while still remaining positive!
Yall need to do another podcast together, I could listen to yall for hours!
AGREED !!!! She is just stunning in all aspects.... Jax... absolutely does NOT deserve her.....
I wish we all could be nice n happy like Britney she really is the epitome of a good human being. No matter wat she is going through she looks for the good in everything. She doesn't let anyone change her mood she keeps it together.
Brittany, I just want to say as a mother of two boys, you're doing phenomenal!!! My first son, I took everything so serious, felt like I had to keep up with all the other mom's. By the time I had my second son, I didn't care what people thought anymore. I just wanna drive home, my second, to a LONG time to talk... he's 11 now, he's in the gifted program at his school, he tests at over an 8th grade level, in 5th grade, in language arts. So just enjoy your time with Cruz, cause it goes by so so quickly, enjoy every second and don't let others giv you sh!t❤
Damn I’m so impressed with Brittany’s new found strength!!!!
Once you have kids you grow up a lot. She's amazing.
We all begged her to see his red flags and is now surprised he has red flags 🚩
It's hard to see warning signs when your sleeping together. It clouds your view. There is a reason the Lord says no sex till covenant marriage.
“My mom watches the show and knew who Jax was and my best friend Katie was a fan of the show and I was taking their pictures but I didn’t know anything about the show🥴”
okay sweetheart😂
Great interview!
She doesn't look professional at all. The interviewer. Too casual.
Not true about Lala. Shes been annoying and now its worse. 🙄
Brittany is such a class act. So composed & feminine. ❤ l o v e it 🤍
Textbook narcissist and codependent relationship. Brittany is getting clarity and should absolutely get her child as far from him as possible. He won't look in the mirror and do the work and if she gets back with him it will get worse and go on and on. So many of us have fallen down this hole.
Bingo!
I would never deny him access to Cruz. That only hurts Cruz.
I don't think it's fair to suggest that his son should be kept away from him! I'm sure you probably mean it with the best of intentions.. but seriously, you should consider your views around this important stuff.. considering nearly 50% of relationships resulting in children end up not lasting. It's a very real issue.. and I'm just trying to imagine the number of replies to your comment had you written that Jax should keep Cruz as far away as possible from his Mum due to her narcicistic tendencies. The gender gap on this one really needs more healthy conversation.. because with there being nothing more important than family.. it's a massive issue.. and once parental alienation has occurred.. it can be extremely challenging for relationships to be restored 😔
to be clear, I mean she should be the primary parent. a narcissistic parent is about themselves and can be very damaging to a child's development and ability to have healthy emotional attachments. Any of you believing Jax is just being a guy really are lucky to not have an understanding of how awful these charming snakes are and the destruction they leave in their wake. Brittany seems to have gained some ability to see through it probably because she is now a mother and she will do what is right for her child.
Aww! This was a good episode! Brittany always sends out the good vibes🥰
Brittany is such a doll! Love her and want the best for her.
Amanda Hersch great interview, you packed a lot in, and were very kind & fun!
We love Brittany! She made Jax relevant. She made Jax tolerable.
Take my advice I am 70 years old and had four children with a narcissistic self centered ass for 20 years…..I deserved to be happy and finally left too got remarried to the most wonderful man for the past 25 years, I wished I would have left sooner! So RUN Girl RUN never look back find your happy cuz it will never happen with this type of person EVER!
And BEAUTIFUL IT RADIATES THRU THE SCREEN ❤
Brittany is a sweet, darling and beautiful girl.....she is a light in the room
Brittany is the sweetest human being! Loved this podcast!
Brittany don't ever change your amazing 😘
I so love that Brittany is so open that she says it all.
The strength Brittany has and continues to supply throughout all this is, especially for Cruz, is remarkable but so heartbreaking.
Jax ain’t s**t.
Brittany you’re amazing and strong woman! You deserve the best! ❤
She knew what she was getting before she got married, c’mon use your brain girls!
This podcast makes me love Brittany even more. She's so real and genuine ❤
Well Jax and Scan are equal in douche-hood. Makes sense they gravitate back towards each other.
I hope she get's the help to set stronger boundaries and let go of the people pleasing it's so exhausting. It's taken me years to get to this point.. Once you realize that it's none of your business what others think about you. ❤ It's truly freeing!!!
I'd love to see her with a very successful & nice man who will love her completely. 🙏🏻🦋
Its annoying that Brittney still can’t see that she was love bombed by a narcissist. And she was an enabler selected primarily because she would make him look good and she would enable his bad behaviour.
The first few eps of the valley she’s rode for him so hard when he’s such a jackass.
@@Ashley-qu1bcThey’re both jackasses.
Brittany needs therapy. Therapist would probably tell her to stop defending Jax coz every other breath!
Jax is a narcissist. Do you and Cruise the biggest favour and stay away. Much love 💓 you got this 😍
Brittany, great interview ❤
Jax be difficult, you’re a trooper, you gotta find your happiness, with or without.
God is with you Brittney! Stay strong, you are an amazing person!!!!!
Yes. Lord take care of Brittany and Cruz.
Halleluia! She definitely got this right. He is verbally Abusive. You dont need him. Your so beautiful and kind. You deserve the best
.
I 100% believe Lala and Jax hooked up. The sub on reddit convinced me more 😂 but that S5/S6 era they fasho hooked up, especially the trip episode when Lala went off on Jax . I recently rewatched I 100 percent believe they fooled around
The Lala now who isn't real anymore will never admit it. At least not until she gets on the Valley or finds another rich husband . I no longer like. There were things I didn't care for before but I liked that she was honest. Real like Katie . Not this past season. Watch out Britney look what Lala and Schena did to their so called beastie Ariana
Brittany deserves so much more. I think Jax is giving narcissistic traits 🚩🚩🚩! And if so he’s never going to change. I hope she stays strong and gets a happy life and future with her beautiful son. ❤️
Everyone warned her about Jax, she didn't wanna listen.
She seems happier without him ( from the outside looking in obviously 😂)
I have a grandson that’s 3 and has a speech delay also and going to speech therapy and so smart.💖💕Brittany is the sweetest and so pretty and she does deserve better 🥰
She needs to stop paying that mans bills if she’s not living there. I wouldn’t pay his utilities girl
The “breakup” is probably fake PR stunt. I
3:45 that’s crazy her mom watched the show and accepted her dating jax. Ain’t no way, and tbh i am not fully buying she had never seen the show but even if she hadn’t, to stick around when there is footage of who he was, wild it was like written for that to become her future
You do realize that Brittany Cartwright's mother has been married four times and she is a raging alcoholic so I don't really think that any type of marriage advice that Brittnay's mother would help, but your correct Brittany's mother should have stepped in day one when she saw the way that Jax was treating her daughter and put a stop to it right then and there. Another thing I would love to say that I do not agree with what Brittany is saying, that she is putting her son first but if that was really true the first thing she should do is get Cruz to his pediatrician NOW and find out why at the age of three that he is completely quit talking, he covers his ears with loud noises, he arranges his toys in color-coded sequences, and he is regressed in each and every milestone that he should be hitting. I am absolutely not a doctor but Cruz is showing all the indicators of autism, early intervention whether it is autism or something else the most critical key and we all know that, secondly Brittany needs to stop with her drinking and I don't mean just because she is a mother now that Brittnay can't go out once in awhile and have a good time with her friends because she absolutely can but that is not what she is doing because Brittany admitted that she likes going out with her friends and she gets the babysitter to stay with Cruz at night and then she has the babysitter spend the night because she gets so drunk that she can't take care of him the next morning /day because she is too hungover and Brittany has admitted to doing that on a pretty regular basis, the same exact thing goes for his father when he does have Cruz he should definitely not be getting wasted off his ass to where you can't take care of him either, Brittany needs to stop making excuses for Jax and make him have consequences for all the shitty things that he does, if Brittany and Jax can't get their things together and it is already been 4 months that they have been separated and she just admitted to us that she is seen no change in him then Brittany is the one that needs to go file for a divorce, I hate more than anything to even say that but Cruz deserves to have a mom and dad that are not constantly fighting and screaming at each other because that is not good for him either, and the way that Brittnay is acting in this interview with her laughing and giggling I personally don't believe that she is taking this seriously, and Brittany needs to go get some help with being codependent on a narcissist because that's exactly what Jax is !! I believe that Brittany Cartwright is a very good person but right now Cruz already has his dad going off the rails and he doesn't need his mother to be doing the same thing !!! I know I sound very critical as hell but I think we can all agree that Brittnay is going to be the only one to be able to fix this because Jax will not leave her because she always comes running back to him and also they have filming to do together and I don't think either one of them want to give up that money but they wouldn't have to if they only went ahead and got a divorce and at least try to stay cordial to each other for the sake of their son !! Britney is 35 years old and I believe Jax is 41 so there is no more excuses for these two to still be acting like they did when they were on Vanderpump Rules and were a hell of a lot younger !! My biggest concern is that little boy Cruz and I just hope and pray he is okay.
Brittany is a treasure! We need more women like her on reality television. I’m such a fan! ❤️
Brittany should consider a reduction…Go back to the B.
Wow. Judging her body. Shame on you.
@@jenriggs1261she looks lopsided and like a stuffed sausage roll. She is so pretty. The surgery is ugly
She said it herself! I was simply agreeing. Obviously she’s gorgeous.
Yes i think her bobbies make her look bigger than she is.
@@jenriggs1261Oh calm your claws. Her boobs look ridic. It’s OK to state facts about bad plastic surgery…no shame required.
I hate how people act like a child not talking yet is a reflection of parenting. Don't stress about Cruz not talking yet! My son had speech issues when he was that age. My friend's son didn't speak at all till he was 3.5, but then he just took off and talked so much. Everything will be fine! 💜
Yes! My niece didn’t talk until almost 4 and now she talks nonstop. 😂💓
My son is 3.5 and just now is talking in coherent sentences. He knew his numbers and alphabet by 18 minths but It took him longer than "usual" to speak as well but he is doing great now. My first born son was talking by 18 months full sentences at 2. But he had harder time with alphabet and numbers but eventually got there by 4 years old. All kids are so so different and just NC they don't develope and hit milestones that are considered typical, does not mean they need to be diagnosed and medicated. I saw it happen with my nephew. He was
Ruined by age 7 doctors had him on lithium 😮
Brittany is SO sweet
Love love love Brittany! I think it speaks volumes to the type of person she is to have stayed herself and stayed humble through this crazy reality tv journey
Jax not moving out of the home to allow his own innocent son and estranged wife stay tells you all you need to know. Jax is not a man and has no idea how to love or to be a good human being. I wish Brit all the best- she deserves it.
i adore brittany she has a heart of gold. great interview
Can we just appreciate how GORGEOUS Brittany is!!! She looks amazing, and she is GLOWING now that she dropped over 200lbs of dead weight!
Dead weight = JAX.
I truly hope Brittany has learned that when a person shows you who they are from the BEGINNING you are accepting them as presented! Jax was an entire jackass from day 1. He did not fool her, she settled for it.
OMG... I just hope she gets the strength to divorce him. He is so toxic. That is not healthy and he is never changing.
Brittney is DELIGHTFUL. Thank you for your honesty.
My thing is… why isn’t Jax in an air bnb!?! Brittany seems like she is the primary care taker, why would he make his son move out of his own house.
Loveeeeeee Brittany so much ♥️
Why all the Jax bashing? She kinda knew what she was getting into from her description. She was warned by everybody even her mom. Why do women always think they are special enough to change a 'bad boy'?
Absolutely agree. He treated her badly because she let him.
Girl bye, that don’t change that jax is trash😂 wth is this comment. Pick me much? You can hold brit accountable and not be jax apologist 😒
I love all the intervies and after shows better bc thats where we get the real tea
Brittany is a really just the salt of the Earth❤
Wow, what a sweetheart and a well rounded woman❤
Happy birthday, Cruz!
Yes! Happy Birthday to Cruz! 🥳🎈
Brittany deserves a kind not narcissistic love. She seems so kind and caring. As a large breasted woman, they are fun when you're younger, (I never had an augmentation) but nobody needs this sh it when you are old enough to not care. I hope she finds the kind of person she and her kids deserve.
She’s beautiful & kind.
I love my reduction!
I wouldn’t wait! ❤❤❤
Glad you’re done with him!
