How Brittany Cartwright feels about ex Jax Taylor’s romance with her publicist Lori Krebs
Brittany Cartwright feels blindsided and hurt by her publicist Lori Krebs’ newly exposed romance with the “Valley” star’s estranged husband, Jax Taylor.
“She’s feeling betrayed by Lori more than Jax because she doesn’t expect much from him at this point,” a source told Page Six.
The insider told us Cartwright found out about the pair’s secret fling shortly before TMZ published photos of them canoodling at a Mexico resort.
“When the Jax-Lori rumors first started swirling two years ago, Brittany chose to believe Lori that nothing was going on. She continued to work with her and trust her, and this is how Lori repays her?”
Cartwright, 37, filed for divorce from Taylor, 46, in August 2024 after first announcing their split that February. In her petition, she claimed they had been separated since January 2024.
The following month, Taylor and Krebs sparked romance speculation after posting pictures on their respective Instagram Stories showing them leaning in closely for selfies and kissing each other on the cheek.
A blind item later began circulating online alleging that the duo had hooked up in a bar bathroom in Canada while on some kind of work trip.
Cartwright — who shares 5-year-old son Cruz with Taylor — quickly dismissed the chatter on the exes’ formerly shared podcast, insisting she was “cracking up” that “everyone was going crazy” over the “ridiculous” rumors.
She went on to call Krebs a “very, very good friend” of hers, an “amazing publicist” and a “super hard worker.”
But the speculation continued, prompting Taylor to deny the claims again in April 2024.
“Oh, that? Not again,” the “Valley” alum told “Entertainment Tonight” at the time. “That was all just hearsay, and it’s just a shame that that happened. But yeah, no, nothing happened there.”
Despite the former couple’s breakup — which has not yet been finalized — Krebs continued to represent them both. It’s unclear whether that has changed in light of recent news, and Page Six has reached out to all three parties for comment.
Meanwhile, our source argued, “Lori has always inserted herself into moments that should be about her clients — like photo opps and red carpets — but this time, she inserted herself into her clients’ divorce and crossed a line she cannot come back from.”
Krebs has since deactivated her Instagram account.
As for Taylor and Cartwright, allegations of infidelity plagued their three-year relationship and almost-five-year marriage since they starred on “Vanderpump Rules.”
But Taylor — who celebrated being a year and a half clean and sober this past April — has only ever copped to one instance of cheating on Cartwright.
