Jax Taylor says he’s “in love” with his ex-publicist Lori Krebs by Brittany Cartwright

The controversial gap between Jax Taylor And Brittany Cartwright has become deeper.

Just days after Cartwright, 37, was granted a restraining order against Taylor, 47, the original Vanderpump Rules cast member asked a judge to issue a no-contact, no-attendance and abuse order against his estranged wife, whom he married in 2019.

Taylor’s Aug. 31 legal request, obtained by E! News was filed “in opposition to the motion for a domestic violence restraining order filed by plaintiff Brittany Nicole Cartwright” while simultaneously seeking its own domestic violence restraining order.

The House of Villains Alum (real name Jason Cauchi) argued that his ex’s Aug. 27 motion should be denied because “her recent allegations describe co-parenting friction and sheltered responses to her own public attacks, not abuse.”

“Since Brittany and I separated in January 2024, she has made me the target of relentless public and private attacks,” said Taylor, who shares a son Cruz Cauchi5, with Cartwright, claims in the document. “Over the last six months in particular, these attacks have taken on a level of viciousness that has become unbearable.”
