Jax Taylor's Sobriety Under Scrutiny

Brittany Cartwright is taking a proactive approach to ensure Jax Taylor stays on the path of sobriety. After Jax admitted to struggling with cocaine addiction for over two decades, Brittany requires him to take weekly drug tests. However, she remains skeptical, citing his previous failed drug tests during rehab stints. "Failed drug tests at both places, let’s make that clear," she stated on her podcast, expressing concern that Jax didn't stay in treatment long enough to deem himself clean. Brittany also revealed that Jax is still sending inappropriate messages to other women, adding to her emotional distress. Despite her skepticism, Brittany emphasizes her desire for Jax to improve for the sake of their son, Cruz.

He also filed a motion to restrain both parties from slandering each other in the media, aiming to protect their reputations and the well-being of their children. This legal battle follows Apollo's arrest for simple assault in March 2024, stemming from an argument with Sherien.
