Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor aired out some of their dirty laundry during a heated back-and-forth on their podcast — weeks after announcing their separation.
In the latest episode of When Reality Hits With Jax & Brittany, Cartwright went on the offensive and took a few jabs at her estranged husband.
In fact, things got so heated that Cartwright confessed to Taylor that she ‘cannot stand’ him and lamented about how difficult it’s been being his ‘ride-or-die.’
‘I’m always trying to apologize for Jax and like, try to make him look better in the situations that he stirs up,’ she explained.
This prompted Taylor to shoot back and tell her she didn’t ‘need’ to do that.
‘I’ve done it for nine years for you,’ Cartwright said. ‘I know. That’s just how loyal and a ride-or-die for the person that I was married to.’
Taylor was quick to correct her use of past tense usage when it came to their marriage status, saying, ‘You are married to.’
Cartwright maintains she’s always stuck up for Taylor ’24/7.’
‘It was like a job. That’s what happens when you have a loyal wife who will blindly stick up for the person you love,’ she said.
It’s at this point that Cartwright told him that she ‘cannot stand’ him after he tried to take all the credit for creating the concept of their new Vanderpump Rules spin-off show, The Valley, making the point that she was with him ‘every step of the way.’
The Bravo reality stars announced they were embarking on a trial separation last month after more than four years of marriage and nine years together.
‘Yes, marriages in general are very hard and I’ve had a particularly rough year this past year,’ Cartwright said on their podcast at the time. ‘Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health.’
Taylor and Cartwright first met at a bar while vacationing in Las Vegas in the early part of 2015.
At that time, he was starring in the third season of Vanderpump Rules, while Cartwright worked as a waitress at Hooters.
The pair ended up going Instagram official with their romance with a post on May 25, 2015. 
He convinced her to join the cast of Vanderpump Rules for season four, which premiered that same year.
Following her Bravo debut, the Kentucky native and Taylor, who’s from Shelby Township, Michigan, took their relationship to the next level in the public eye.
Viewers were first introduced to Cartwright when Vanderpump Rules returned for season four, and Taylor revealed that he had met someone special while on a trip to Las Vegas.
Eventually, the pair tied the knot in her home state of Kentucky in June 2019 after dating for just over four years.
They would ultimately welcome their son Cruz to the family in April 2021.
After appearing together on Vanderpump Rules, Cartwright and Taylor took a leap to main cast member status for the spin-off Vanderpump Rules: Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky (2017).
Now they’ve got the new spin-off, The Valley, that just premiered on Bravo, for which they are one of five couples who are ‘taking a shot at adulting.’
‘We’ve been together nine years, and people stop appreciating and take you for granted after some time — and that should never happen in a marriage,’ she told Page Six at the premiere party for their new show.
The estranged couple star alongside Kristen Doute, Luke Broderick, Danny Booko, Nia Booko, Janet Caperna, Jason Caperna, Jason Lally, and Michelle Lally.
So far, the first two episodes of the new reality show have aired, with the third set to drop on April 2, and is scheduled to run through until May 21.
