Brittany Cartwright reacts to ex Jax Taylor’s romance with publicist Lori Krebs
Brittany Cartwright is speaking out on ex Jax Taylor’s romance with their once-shared publicist, Lori Krebs.
“All I’m going to say about this at this moment is I will be speaking my truth — the truth — on this matter very soon whenever I’m ready,” the “Valley” star said on the Friday episode of her “When Reality Hits” podcast.
While speaking to her co-star Zack Wickham, Cartwright added, “As of right now, I am focusing on me and the most important thing in my life, which is my beautiful son.”
“And as of right now, I’m just trying to protect my son and my peace and very soon I will be telling [my story].”
While the “Vanderpump Rules” alum didn’t divulge much, she concluded, “I mean, I think everybody kinda understands what’s going on.”
Cartwright’s reaction comes days after Taylor was seen cozying up to Krebs in steamy vacation photos.
In the pictures obtained by TMZ Monday, the two were seen holding each other intimately as they swam in the pool at a resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
They also appeared deep in conversation as a shirtless Taylor embraced Krebs by wrapping his arms around her.
A source previously told Page Six Cartwright learned about the pictures shortly before they were published and that she feels “betrayed” by Krebs more so than Taylor because she “doesn’t expect much from him at this point.”
“When the Jax-Lori rumors first started swirling two years ago, Brittany chose to believe Lori that nothing was going on,” our source told us.
Rumors of a romance first surfaced in February 2024, when Taylor and Krebs posted selfies — including one showing her kissing him on the cheek — on their respective Instagram Stories. While a blind item later alleged they had hooked up in a bar bathroom in Canada, both Taylor and Cartwright shut down the speculation on their formerly shared podcast at the time.
“[Cartwright] continued to work with [Krebs] and trust her, and this is how Lori repays her?”
Our source insisted Krebs “has always inserted herself into moments that should be about her clients” but that she has now “crossed a line she cannot come back from.”
“There is no way she will continue working with her at this point.”
Cartwright, 37, filed for divorce from Taylor, 47, in August 2024 after first announcing their separation that February. The duo have continued to co-parent their 5-year-old son, Cruz, as they await the finalization of their split.
