Once again, we have all been Jaxed. Jax Taylor’s divorce filing appeared to claim he and Brittany Cartwright were never legally married. Reps said Taylor made a mistake somewhere on the forms. Now, Cartwright confirms the mistake. Because putting a pen to paperwork can be really hard for some people, okay?
Another VPR fake marriage?
October 2, 7:46 p.m.: In new court documents obtained by Page Six, Vanderpump Rules and The Valley star Jax Taylor is claiming that he and Brittany Cartwright were never legally married. That’s right, a whole season of TV plus a murder mystery dinner party in the Kentucky Castle, all for naught! In the filing, Taylor also gave Cartwright full physical custody of their son, Cruz. According to the documents, the couple’s only shared asset is their home (and shooting location) in Valley Village.
Cartwright was the first to announce the couple’s separation, in February of this year. At the time, Taylor was emphatic that the pair were not divorcing. Which may be true? If they were never technically married. This is the second VPR marriage that turned out to not be legal. In the same season when Jax and Brittany got married, Tom Schwartz claimed that he’d failed to file his marriage license to Katie Maloney when they wed in 2016. It’s beginning to seem like what we see on reality TV…might not be the full truth. What else is a lie? Is Lance Bass even ordained?
Mistakes were made
October 2, 9:33 p.m.: Reps for Jax Taylor are now saying he “made errors†in his divorce filing. “While Jax made errors in filling out forms that are usually done by trained legal professionals, those errors will be amended without delay,†they said in a statement to Page Six. What errors? The rep would not specify, aside from saying custody of Cruz is a “long resolved†issue.
Girl, [forms] so confusing
October 3: Cartwright has set the record straight: Taylor has no idea what he’s doing, at least when it involves checking boxes on a piece of paper. “We are legally married,†she wrote in a comment on E! News’s Instagram. “I’m guessing paperwork is hard for some people. 🫣.†Wedding officiant Lance Bass also confirmed his Pastor status in reply to Cartwright, stating that he “signed the papers†for the couple. Can someone check on the paperwork for Jax’s bar while we’re at it?
