AceShowbiz - Jax Taylor faces a temporary restraining order obtained by Brittany Cartwright, who accused him of threatening to severely harm her. The order, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, requires Taylor to stay at least 100 yards away from Cartwright until a hearing scheduled for September 17.

Cartwright alleged that during their relationship, Taylor subjected her to coercive control, financial abuse, emotional and psychological abuse, and physical violence. She claimed he threatened to kill her, damaged her property—including breaking three iPhones and an iPad—and accessed her phone and social media without permission. A violent incident involving thrown furniture caused her injuries. Cartwright also accused Taylor of using child and spousal support demands to intimidate her and verbally abusing her in public and in front of their 5-year-old son, Cruz. Additionally, she said Taylor took her $70,000 wedding ring and has refused to return it. She requested sole custody of their son five months after a custody agreement was reached, but the judge denied this pending a future hearing.

Taylor has acknowledged being ashamed of his behavior during a difficult period linked to addiction and said he takes full responsibility for his mistakes. He disputed some allegations, stating the full context will be addressed in court. He also revealed he has been sober for one year and nine months and remains committed to treatment, therapy, and being a good father to Cruz.

Jax Taylor and Cartwright, who married in 2019 and separated before she filed for divorce in 2024, appeared together on the reality series Vanderpump Rules. Their separation has been marked by contentious custody and support disputes, culminating in this recent legal action.

This temporary restraining order marks a significant escalation in their ongoing legal and personal conflicts, highlighting serious allegations of abuse and control within their post-marriage relationship.
