Guess bad things really do come in threes for Jax Taylor. “I already told him. Filing, restraining order, and custody,” Brittany Cartwright says in the trailer for the second season of The Valley. She’s already checked the first thing off her list; Taylor is served with divorce papers in the three-minute preview. Cartwright claims that the father of her 3-year-old son, Cruz, has been bringing girls to their home, with one allegedly leaving a thong and a baby wipe behind. She also alleges that he’s had people “watching” her. For his part, Taylor — who checked himself into rehab last year to address his mental health struggles and recently publicly acknowledged his history with cocaine addiction — says he’s “not satisfied” with who he is anymore, and admits to former Vanderpump Rules costar Tom Schwartz that he “was a fucking terrible husband.”
But Cartwright and Taylor aren’t the only ones going through it this season: Jesse Lally alleges that Michelle Saniei cheated on him and is “sleeping with a billionaire for $1,500 a night” (which seems a bit stingy for someone with that kind of net worth), Danny Booko is accused of groping people, and Kristen Doute pointedly claims that Jason Caperna takes his wedding ring off when going out. Apart from Luke Broderick’s punny proposal to Doute on a boat, there’s hardly a happy moment in sight. If you’re in love with the dramatic season that this trailer wants to be, save the date for The Valley’s season two premiere on April 15 at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock.
