Brittany Cartwright Claims Jax Taylor Hasn Donated to Cancer Charity, Despite Promise
The two have navigated their split — with consideration for their 3-year-old son Cruz — over the last few months … and, JT recently went for in-patient mental health treatment. Basically, it’s been difficult for everyone involved.
On Friday, August 9, Brittany Cartwright called out ex Jax Taylor — whom she separated from in February — for allegedly lying about donating the money he makes from Cameo to cancer research.
In a since-deleted upload, Cartwright reposted the Vanderpump Rules alum’s video where he said, “I’m now on Cameo, so hit me up.”
He continued: “I’d love to help you guys out. Also, you’re helping me out because I’ll be donating my money to cancer research. Actually, esophageal cancer, because obviously that is near and dear to my heart, so hit me up. I’d love to shoot you a message.”
On top of his clip, the mother-of-one, 35, penned, “Just realized Jax has this on his cameo and it’s disgusting because he hasn’t donated a dime. FYI @cameo.”
As OK! previously reported, the duo — who share son Cruz, 3 — announced their split on their podcast in February.
Since their breakup, Cartwright and Taylor have had a hard time navigating their new lifestyle.
Things have been particularly difficult for Taylor, who recently entered a mental health facility for treatment.
“Jax has always been candid about his mental health struggles, especially during the past few months on his podcast,” a rep for the reality TV personality shared on July 30.
The spokesperson said Taylor made the decision to “seek in-patient treatment,” noting that is a particularly “sensitive time” Taylor and his brood.
“They ask for privacy and respect until he is ready to speak more on this matter,” the individual added.
Taylor’s choice to get medical help comes as a shocker as the 45-year-old has repeatedly claimed he would seek treatment, however, he never got around to it.
In the Season 1 finale of The Valley — which documented Cartwright and Taylor’s crumbling marriage — the matriarch called him out on his lack of effort when it comes to fixing their romance and bettering himself.
“Jax has been saying that he’s gonna go to therapy for years now,” Cartwright said in her confessional. “The day before we pick cameras back up, he all of a sudden has an appointment to go see the doctor. This is all a front. This is what he wants everyone to see and believe that he’s actually gonna do these things to change. I bet you money he will not do it.”
Taylor rebutted saying he never went to the appointment because the therapy office “was really far.”
Cartwright then asked her now-estranged husband, “Do you want me back, or are you just gonna sit there and let me go? Because I will go.”
