Jax Taylor insists Brittany Cartwright is to not blame for his dependancy

Jax Taylor is talking out about his struggles with substance abuse and defending his estranged spouse, Brittany Cartwright, amid their ongoing divorce. 

Two weeks after revealing his decades-long dependancy to cocaine, Jax expressed his concern about how his admission may have an effect on Brittany.

“I don’t really care what anybody thought except for Brittany,” Jax mentioned on his Contained in the Thoughts of a Man podcast. “To be honest, I just wanted to make sure she was happy.”

Jax acknowledged that his public confession should have been “very hurtful” for Brittany, who was conscious of his drug issues. 

“She was my only priority,” he mentioned. “When I was doing that, I wanted to make sure that I was very delicate.”

He emphasised that Brittany shouldn’t be blamed for his dependancy. “This is in no way, shape or form her fault at all,” he insisted. “She should not be getting any kind of flack for this whatsoever. She’s an amazing mother. She’s an amazing person and she’s a human being and she was pushed.”

Brittany responded to Jax’s confession, stating, “I’m glad that he finally admitted to what was really going on. For the first time, I can speak openly about the extent of trauma he’s instilled on our family over the years.”

However, Brittany expressed skepticism about Jax’s ability to overcome his addiction. “I pray that one day he completely knocks this addiction, but I’m skeptical. His behaviors are still alarming and his treatment plan seems to be the bare minimum.”

Brittany emphasized her focus on navigating the situation for the sake of their 3-year-old son, Cruz. 

“I’m trying to navigate this as best as I can for my son and I, but every day is still a challenge and very difficult. Jax has caused an enormous amount of damage and I have very little trust in him at this point. My only hope is that one day, he will be a better person for his son.”
