Brittany Cartwright orders Jax Taylor not to kiss son after ‘disgusting girl’ slept over

Brittany Cartwright is setting boundaries.

The “Valley” star requested that her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, not kiss their son Cruz’s face in Tuesday’s episode of the Bravo reality show.

“Don’t kiss him,” she ordered when he came to visit the toddler. “Don’t kiss him on the face.”

Brittany Cartwright forbid Jax Taylor from kissing their son’s face on “The Valley” Tuesday.

“Don’t kiss him on the face,” the 36-year-old demanded.

Her reasoning, she explained, was Taylor “having a disgusting girl over” the previous evening.

Cartwright, 36, explained, “I just don’t want you kissing him on his face because you had a disgusting girl here last night.”

Taylor, 45 denied hooking up with the woman shown in security footage earlier that same day, model Paige Woolen, claiming she had slept in a “spare bedroom.”

Cartwright, who found a cup with lipstick marks on it in the fridge, replied, “She has a house. Why couldn’t you go there? That was our one rule.”

“Why couldn’t you go [to her house]?” Cartwright asked.

Taylor attempted to defend himself by saying his estranged wife had broken their hookup “rules” too.

Taylor quipped in a confessional that his estranged wife was “breaking the rules, too,” referencing her past hookup with his friend Julian Sensley.

He added, “I just wanted to see Cruz and give him a big hug and a big kiss, and then right off the bat, Brittany is just coming at me.”

By the end of the episode, Taylor had checked into treatment to address his mental health struggles after Cartwright called him out in the explosive conversation.

The woman, shown in security footage, was model Paige Woolen.

In a confessional, Taylor blasted Cartwright for “coming at” him.

“I don’t even recognize who you are anymore. Who are you?” she said during the argument. “You need help. You need to go get help for yourself and for your son. He cannot grow up and become a person like you.”

Taylor responded, “If you were that miserable, you could’ve left years ago. I’ll never forgive you for this. Never.”

The “Vanderpump Rules” alums welcomed Cruz in April 2021, nearly two years after they tied the knot in Kentucky.

“I just wanted to see Cruz and give him a big hug and a big kiss,” he told viewers.

Taylor told co-star Kristen Doute on Tuesday that he has not considered himself “happy” since the little one’s arrival.

He opened up to Danny Booko about being at the “end of [his] rope” and needing “some help” before pursuing treatment.

“I have nothing left in me,” Taylor told Jason Caperna, who drove him to the facility. “The only reason I’m doing this is because, like I said, my son.”

The Bravolebrities called it quits in 2024.

On Tuesday’s episode, Taylor checked into treatment for mental health struggles.

The emotional episode was filmed in the summer of 2024, with Cartwright subsequently filing for divorce from Taylor.

The former SUR bartender has since gone public with his bipolar and post-traumatic stress disorder diagnoses, as well as his recent sobriety from a cocaine addiction.

A “skeptical” Cartwright, however, shared her doubts about his recovery in March, alleging to People that “his behaviors are still alarming, and his treatment plan seems to be the bare minimum.”
