Brittany Cartwright is adamant that her ex Jax Taylor did not change “at all” following his stint in rehab.
Taylor, 45, entered an inpatient treatment center at the end of July as he struggled with his mental health amid his split from Cartwright. He exited the mental health facility after 30 days of treatment.
However, Cartwright, 35, remains unconvinced that her ex has had any progress.
“I don’t feel like he changed at all in those 30 days. And the reason, I’m sure it’ll be on the show as well, but, you know, a lot of rage texting and stuff was still going on the entire time that he was in rehab,” she said on Bravo’s “Hot Mic” podcast Monday.
“So, for me, I was just noticing like, this is just going to be constant,” the “Vanderpump Rules” alum said of her ex’s behavior.
“Like, if you’re in therapy seven hours a day, and you’re still finding time to call me names and cuss me out? And send me rage texts? Then you’re obviously not ever gonna change.”
The reality TV star, who shares 3-year-old son Cruz with Taylor, said she has no regrets about pulling the plug on the pair’s marriage.
“I’m so glad I did, I’m not changing my mind. I’m so happy with this decision,” she said, adding that at the time, she realized, “This is bad, I can’t stay in this. It was very eye opening.”
Taylor and Cartwright tied the knot in June 2019. Their nuptials were featured on “Vanderpump Rules.”
In December 2020, they announced they were exiting the hit Bravo series.
The former couple welcomed Cruz months later in April 2021.
In February, Cartwright announced on their podcast that they decided to take time “apart” to focus on themselves. Cartwright officially filed for divorce from the “Valley” star after four years of marriage on Aug. 27.
Days after the divorce filing, Taylor announced he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder while in rehab.
Taylor, for his part, admitted that he checked into the facility “to get better for” the duo’s son, Cruz.
Earlier this year, Taylor spoke about his “difficult” divorce from Cartwright, saying he knows it was the “right decision.”
“I understand why she did [it],” he said of Cartwright’s filing. “I’ll always love and care for Brittany. She’s the mother of my beautiful son, [Cruz].”
He also said he hopes they can become “really, really good friends one day.”
