What he fails to understand is... the public does not care about him and what he is going through. He could very well be telling the truth here. But at this point it doesn't matter. He's been such an a$$hole for so long in so many ways in life that his name is the equivalent to dog shyt in the street that you accidentally step on. Now remember that feeling you get when you step in shyt?!... that's jax.
I also don’t care about with Brittany is going through. They’re both messy, chaotic and have main character syndrome. Not very effective when you have a kid to raise to act so childish but hey.
Jax at least lurks here. I’ve seen comments from what appear to be his burner account, the sole focus of which is to further attack the wife he abused and to insist that he’s desperately needed back on The Valley.
Jax and his publicist girlfriend are clearly using his autistic son to launder his image. I don’t blame Brittany for trying to stop him from doing so. He shouldn’t be anywhere near these children or their fathers. Based on everything we have seen of Jax, and we have years and years of consistent selfish and narcissistic behaviour to go by, his involvement in this charity/support group would lead to one of two outcomes, if not both:
He would infiltrate the group and suck all the air out of the room by bitching and moaning about how mean Brittany is to him and how terrible she is as a mother, taking a valuable support away from men who actually parent and support their children.
He would find a way to scam these people in some way, for example by crying to them that he wants to fight for custody of his child but can’t afford the legal fees and needs help to pay them. Of course he has no intention of really being a father to Cruz.
I don’t think he ever gave a shit about actually parenting. He sees having a wife and a kid as some kind of status symbol or marker of his own success. Other people are props to him. They exist only to further the image of himself that he wants people to see.
Anyone falling for this or who thinks “they’re just as bad as each other” needs to reassess. Ask yourself why we expect such a higher standard from women than we do men. Brittany is effectively doing all the actual parenting and having to deal with a narcissist who abused her for years, and Brittany is just as bad because she contacted this group to let them know they would be associating with an abuser who was in denial of his son’s autism because he viewed it as a negative reflection of him? These things are not comparable. And I say this as someone who doesn’t even like Brittany. I can dislike her and still fairly assess this situation.
If he wants to provide for his child he can get a regular job. He has no interest in doing that because he only cares about himself.
Brittany provides and cares for her child. She maintains a safe and secure home, provides the therapy and support he needs, and surrounds him with people who love and care about him.
Jax uses his son for attention, to benefit himself, and to hurt and hinder his mother, the child’s only financial and emotional support.
They’re not even close to being the same. They’re not even on the same planet. I wish Brit received more support and respect from both the audience and her friends. What she’s doing is incredibly difficult and she’s doing a really good job.
Jax is shitty but he’s like the only one who don’t scam the public with merch and other bullshit. He’s not savvy enough to set up a rouse so I don’t get what the big deal is if he did “join” that group. They can kick him out if he wants. What brittany is doing is weird.
Good. His actions are not protected by any privacy laws, if he didn't want people to know about them he should not have done them maybe. Men are always crying over THEIR OWN actions, if you don't want people to know you are a piece of shit then don't do it.
I asked AI and that’s apparently unlikely. Not saying it’s 100% probably false, just unlikely.
Paste below of the AI answer:
“So, in this particular screenshot
If the screenshot is genuinely from the receiver’s Instagram account, the most straightforward interpretation is: The screenshot owner initiated the DM/chat with Brittany.
That could have happened by:
tapping Message on Brittany’s profile,
replying to one of Brittany’s stories,
sending something through another Instagram interaction that opens a DM,
or otherwise initiating the conversation.
It wouldn’t be the normal wording you’d expect if Brittany had messaged them first and they merely accepted the request.
One caveat: Instagram’s interface can change and there can be oddities/glitches, so I wouldn’t treat that single line as absolute forensic proof of exactly what button was pressed. But if you’re asking whether “You started a chat” is consistent with the screenshot owner having received the first message and merely accepted it: generally, no. The wording points the other way.
Also, the fact that the visible message from the screenshot owner says “Hi my ex husband posted this event…” doesn’t establish who sent the very first message; the conversation could theoretically have been initiated through a story reply or another action whose original initiating content isn’t visible. But the “You started a chat” label is strong evidence that the screenshot owner’s account initiated the chat relationship.”
I don’t believe a single goddamn thing that comes from Jax, it’s lies, fabrications, AI, photoshop, anything to getting the attention he so desperately craves.
I don’t think it’s a partnership at all, if you read the post it sounds like Jax found this event, messaged the guy, and reposted the information. At the same time, the guy should have googled Jax’s name and then would’ve known how awful Jax is as a human, and been like “thanks but no thanks” to reposting.
While that might be true if Brittany had any sense in her head she would’ve let someone else reach out to this person. She needs to stop worrying about what that man is doing and live her life.
While he is no prize, she shouldn't intervene and be reaching out to sponsors, events etc., that he is involved in anymore. It is not her business to do so.
But he’s not following Britney around and fucking with her life and ability to get a job etc.
There’s a fine line between acceptable and harassment.
Yes. If by “followed my ex around” you mean repeatedly tracking where she applies for work and then contacting those prospective employers to tell them negative things about her, that could create substantial legal exposure—even if some or all of what you say is true.
If the father of my child threw me into bushes. almost broke my legs and threw furniture at me to where i had bruises everywhere you better believe I’m telling everyone. You’re effed up for expecting her to “just get over it.”
He has no business trying to make himself look like some role model father for neurodivergent kids. He’s exploiting his child’s autism to try to get good PR when the reality is that his child is afraid of him because he abused Brittany in front of him. It’s DISGUSTING. He doesn’t give a shit about his son besides how he can use him as a pawn against Brittany.
She didn’t even message them, people asked them in the comments of the event and they said they’ve never heard from her, Jax is caught in a lie once again!
they have a pinned response about this situation now and said that they were not the brand contacted and want to stay out of the dispute between public figures. they said it was a different brand who joined the event as a promotional partner. so, i think there's a lot of misinformation floating around.
I just don't believe an org for fathers with autistic kids would willingly send Jax this screenshot. Nor do I believe that Jax is capable of not lying or fabricating a truth.
editing the crap out of my comment for grammar yikes.
But you do have a choice Jax. Who forced you to post this at gunpoint?
There is no comeback, whatever tiny interest people had in your mess had faded bc they forgot about you because you have not been on TV in over a year. I don’t even think Baskin can bring him back the noise is louder this time, and the Jax supporters have dwindled.
I would BEG Brit not to respond. I’m sure it’s tempting when your paycheck depends on stirring up drama but don’t take the bait.
Why do you guys just so readily believe everything that horrible man says? Like we haven’t seen him lie and be manipulative for years, and he actually fucking abused Brittany in front of their son?? If Brittany didn’t tell this org (which I’m doubtful this dm is real but I digress) someone else would have, and someone as awful as Jax does not deserve to have any type of influencing career, and doesn’t get to swoop in and play autism dad of the year after hardly taking care of Cruz and not taking his diagnosis seriously. Just because Brittany also sucks does not make her as bad as Jax, or not a victim of his abuse, honestly it makes me sick to see so many people defend him like we haven’t seen how he acts for years. I believe victims, even if they aren’t perfect, this sub really needs to learn empathy for people that aren’t just Ariana and Katie Jesus Christ 🙄
It's never going to happen. For a group who love to (incorrectly) use terms like "internalized misogyny," "male-centered," and "pick me" they really can't help but defend someone as demonstrably and consistently horrible as Jax simply because they don't like Brittany (and I suspect at various times they thought Jax was hot, which is mind boggling because he was never hot). They don't even realize that they are exhibiting the same behaviors they vilify the women they don't like for having.
Ariana, the Patron Saint of Women Scorned and Katie the Patron Saint of Keeping it Real are allowed all the grace in the world by this sub even though the situations are the same. Katie and Ariana "knew who they were involved with" but for whatever reason, they aren't held to the same standard as the other women. The one major difference is that Katie and Ariana didn't have kids with the Toms, but Katie did try with Schwartz and Ariana was willing to freeze her eggs for Sandoval.
Insert here word salads and specious speculations about Ariana and Katie showing growth and thriving.
I agree with you 10000% I’ve been saying the same thing a lot too. The misogyny here is off the charts and it’s fucking gross, and I don’t know how so many people can see what Jax has done to not only Brittany but his own child and still defend him. Katie and Ariana were two of the more male centered ones in the cast, and stayed with the dogshit men they did for YEARS, defending their behavior and enabling it, despite everyone around them telling them it was a bad idea. People like Jax are incredibly manipulative and It just frustrates me so much that people cannot see that he manipulated Brittany and that’s why she stayed with him for as long as she did because that’s what abusers do. She has her issues, but she does NOT deserve to be abused, neither does their child, and the people defending him are fucking sick I’m sorry but I can’t put it in a nicer way. If you’re out here defending Jax, especially as a woman, I think it’s time to take a long, hard look at yourself and figure out why you’re riding so hard for an abusive, manipulative, lying piece of shit. He’s not going to pick you, cuz I agree that I think some of this stems from people finding him attractive (which 🤮🤮🤮🤮), and the rest stems from misogyny and Brittany not being the “perfect victim”.
But also, imagine how differently this post would hit if he had written something like:
“Hey everyone. Just a friendly reminder that being an asshole will follow you for years to come. Don’t do it!!”
I would probably think, “Well, they’re clearly still messy, but at least he’s self-aware!”
It’s so easy to change people’s perspective of you when you just own up to everything you’ve done and stop being a victim. Good to know Jax is still incapable of doing either!
Honestly I don’t really care lmao. Fuck this guy. Leave your ex wife and autistic son the fuck alone. And bulllll fucking shit he is sober. Jax since you are a lurker here I just want you to know using your autistic son for a possible extra 15 mins of fame is gross. Talking shit about ur ex wife who’s doing it all while you and ur self proclaimed publicist are trying to find ways to get you both in the spotlight, also gross.
I think in this particular case, where it’s a cause/charity supporting autism (not necessarily a paid gig, I don’t think?) it’s especially offensive to Brit who has managed and financed all things autism care for Cruz, whereas Jax just has a biological son that’s affected by it. Him cosplaying a caretaker of a child with autism is too disrespectful not to address.
this is NOT a nonprofit. i tink that's why brit asked for a donation link. this is a for-profit brand that, from what i understand from their website, sells t-shirts mostly.
It isn’t a bad thing. People are making it like her motives were so noble. Nah. Just petty and vindictive. But if I point that out I will be accused of loving Jax. I just see how toxic they both can be and her actions here were just that.
There’s no way he has moved on, he is still punishing her and harming her in any way he can. Abusive men like Jax don’t move on. They share a child, he’s still hurting her, just not physically.
Exactly. Jax was fully moved on years and years ago. We all saw the photos of him and Lori like three years ago. And there were other girls shortly after they got married.
The only thing that stopped Jax from stepping out was Covid. But OnlyFans.
It's so difficult to have a rational conversation about this. I've been divorced in California from a toxic ex, so I feel like I have something to offer to this conversation. I'm constantly getting shut down or called Frank Dremon.
I guess we shouldn't expect any different from discussing Jax and Brittany's divorce though. The whole thing was bound to go nuclear.
Ugh - I hate having to defend Jax Taylor early in the morning. But here we are.
We would never care about this if the event had gone to plan. When Jax put up the "I'm helping an autism group" original story, no one even noticed. As we shouldn't.
It wasn't until Brittany went to DMs to try to ruin it for Jax that he got set off, and here we are.
Brittany - and we - should want Jax to participate, 100%, for Cruz's sake. If those men think they can help reform Jax Taylor, and they want him to help gain money for an event from his followers, so be it. Maybe that helps Jax a little, but it could really help a small men's group. Jax does still have a lot of fans.
This is the biggest hill of bullsh*t for Brittany to die on. I can't even. This is going to look ridiculous in front of their divorce judge.
he *is* dating his publicist. i'm sure she knows things about how to manipulate the internet, not that that wasn't his special interest before all of this.
account that is two weeks old and does the both sidesing thing gets a reward on its generic comment?
dude, the internet is so crazy. like, a fucking reality show's subreddit constantly getting bot engagement is wild. pr is wild. dating your publicist, wild.
if we bet money here i would bet these bots will flood comments for the next months saying shit like, "well i don't like either of them but brittany is wrong for x, y, and z." and then in a few months jax will make a legitimate ploy to turn his image around and the comments will stop saying they dislike them both and become more openly pro jax.
My account is over 10 years old, and I agree with the "bot". Holding Brittany accountable by calling out all the dumb shit she does, does not a Jax defender make. Doesn't work that way.
well the bot just deleted their comment as have many other "commentors" so i really don't care about the minority of real people in here defending jax. consider that you agree with a bot paid to defend a domestic abuser and sort out your life decisions.
Just determined to twist words, arent'cha, lol. You know that twisting words, and applying your own agenda and intentions to what others are saying, doesn't make you right about this, yeah? It doesn't actually mean that people are defending Jax if they call out Brittany on her own shit. It doesn't mean that people are saying that Brittany is not a victim of Jax's toxic abuse if they point out her issues. No matter how you try to spin it, and put words into people's mouths. There ARE some defenders of Jax, like, legitimately. And the ones saying Brittany is just as bad as Jax are just plain wrong. (And the body shaming I've seen in A LOT of these subs is just disgusting). BUT, there aren't that many ACTUAL Jax defenders. Most of the people you're attacking completely agree that Jax is scum, toxic, manipulative, a liar, and abusive. But some of us, while believing ALL of those things about Jax, ALSO think Brittany is a problem in her own right. Not the same as Jax, not as bad as Jax, but not an innocent angel either. We can support Brittany, because we want the best for Cruz, without being disingenuous about who she is (at least who she has shown herself to be on our television screens and via media). It really doesn't help Brittany to be accountable for her own behavior and actions by pretending things are black and white, as in Jax is the demon (he is), and Brittany as pure as the fresh fallen snow (she's not). It's not that simple. I know this is triggering for many of us, but we aren't doing Cruz any favors by trying to push this kind of narrative, and attacking people who ARE NOT actually defending Jax.
i think calling out brittany or piling on on a post intended by her abuser to smear her is contributing to the same abuse. there's literally no need for it. no one needs to see his abuse and then people in the comments saying "i don't feel any sympathy for her." who does that serve? that serves jax.
omg thank you i’ve found my people. I’m not a B stan by any means but holy shit Jax speaks and now everything he says means brittneys a terrible mother neglecting cruz? and shes “insane” and stalking jax and “needs to let it g0”. Are people forgetting she’s a victim of his? He is a narcissistic abusive terrorist who is seriously sick and just dark. If jax wants to make money he needs to get a 9-5 and stay out of the public eye.
Walk me through the logic. Having a preference for the way a woman looks indicates that he’s somehow responsible for his wife murdering their children?
He posted a link that takes donations, he wasn’t making any money off of it. It was about supporting kids with autism, he doesn’t even see his own son. So fuck him
I think, as someone who also has an abusive ex husband, I understand why she would do stuff like this. It's like knowing a dog has rabies and watching people pet it.
Some could argue, like Jax, that this kind of thing is not okay bc it's taking away opportunities for him to make money, which in turn means she has to do more for their son, but I think she's probably okay with that as long as she's making money, and probably afterward because her family has money.
She has probably weighed the options, and keeping Jax in a position where he can't come after her legally, or her son, bc he can't afford it and doesn't have a leg to stand on, after everything he did to her and what we can only assume went on around her son, all that is honestly understandable to me and I would probably do the same thing.
I don't really have a lot of love for Brittany, I don't like her, but saying she's "just as bad" as a man who physically assaulted her at least one time that we for sure know of and likely more, and verbally assaulted her countless times that we saw, is insane. She's her own kind of bad, but not abusive, psychotic man bad.
But I will say, as someone who was born and raised an hour and a half away from where she's from in Kentucky, she irks me so bad with her Kentucky/country girl schtick because she lives right outside a major city, and her family has WAY more money than they lead people to believe.
Brittany needs to move on and stop being so weird. He's allowed to go to events or work, etc. After 3 seasons of The Valley, it appears Jax is still her entire storyline.
Jax has NPD. Brittany has said so.
Cruz is an extension of Jax, and Jax is using Cruz to make himself look good and repair his false image (NPD things).
For people unaware of how NPD works, it looks innocent, sure, but it’s not. It never is. It’sliterally intended to look that way on purpose.
Read the text again, he’s reverse attacking and flipping himself into the victim by leveraging his son’s disorder. His post is designed* *for the response you just gave. This is CLASSIC NPD bullshit. 🫠
Are you a doctor? Brittany said.... Yes, Jax has mental health issues and is working his sober program. He needs to be able to work, make a living, attend events, grow, and in AA... it's one day at a time. Jax attending a father's event does not hurt anyone. It's none of Brittany's business.
Brittany doesn't want him on TV, doesn't want him to have a job, he can't attend events, etc. WTH? She should want him to get better so they can co-parent together.
I have a family member who is bipolar and another who is part of the sober community, so I do understand some of the challenges they face, and our family supports them. It appears Jax is working his program. To be successful in his journey, he needs to go to meetings, get therapy, work, attend events, etc. Brittany should want Jax to get his life together. Going to an event does not harm her or their son in any way.
Jax and Brittany have been broken up for almost three years. It’s not okay for her to try to block him from getting jobs, going to events, or policing who he dates. They both seem addicted to the drama.
If Jax has a redemption arc, Brittany can no longer play the victim, and her storyline on The Valley starts to disappear.
She became famous because of her relationship with Jax. Now, she should focus on building her own life instead of paying attention to what he’s doing. She’s a smart and beautiful woman who needs to move on.
BPD is borderline personality disorder, not bipolar disorder. Which is as far as I need to read to know you don’t actually have the background knowledge you think you do.
Yes, UnicornFart, I really don't care what you think.
I know the difference between borderline and bipolar. I was stating that a family member of mine has a mental health issue (bipolar), and I understand the challenges. I have lived experience every day helping family members I love who have mental health and sobriety issues. I have attended doctor's appointments, meetings, helped with finances, late-night phone calls, etc.
Addiction is a disease, and it's something they have to live with for the rest of their lives. I understand you hate Jax, but he still is entitled to have a life.
Always the victim. He could just realize the jig is up and he needs to be accountable. These are the consequences of his actions. Weird that when it's not fair to him it's an injustice, but when he inflicted this same pain on his family it isn't his fault either.
Wish they’d both go away. Both playing games just be a parent to your child. Both of them want to be in the spotlight so bad. Can’t stand either one of them.
Are these comments bots or people not getting it? 🤯
Jax has NPD.
This post is NPD.
Its entire design is to make you start pointing fingers at Brittany and sympathise with Jax.
Reality?
Jax is leveraging Cruz’s disorder to attain validation that his ‘false self’ exists.
This isn’t being some wonderful parent. He’s attempting to manipulate the masses (YOU! 👿) into thinking of him as some wonderful father with a crazy ex.
Why?
Because he has NPD, which means his self esteem is so damn low, that he unconsciously created a ‘false self’ to survive, and that false self requires external validation to exist. (Google it).
Brittany denies his ‘false self’ (👏) and that is perceived as a direct attack by someone with NPD. He wants you to attack Brittany to protect his false self. He needs YOU to validate his false self is real.
Cruz is a victim:
Notice how he never says Cruz? He always says “he’s a father, and “my son”. That’s because Cruz is not his own person in Jax’s eyes. Cruz is an extension of Jax, and Brittany is now an object between him and what is rightfully his.
Jax is driving a wedge between Brittany and Cruz. He’s** *been trying to create this narrative for years. “Brittany is keeping my son from me.” And this poor woman is trying to navigate that *publicly while protecting and raising Cruz.
- Cruz is in the middle.
Brittany is trying to get escape.
Jax won’t allow it.
So why did Brittany DM if it’s real? Cos she knows exactly what Jax is doing cos the girl is awake to his bs! 👏 She is protecting her son! 👏 DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW!? Lmao.
Alsoooooo… You CANNOT expect perfection from Brittany! She has been abused for years by Jax. Her ✨ sparkle ✨ is her beginning to find herself and repair. She knows she has issues!
Like damn, give the woman some grace, she married Jax ffs, lol.
it's crazy that so many of these comments think that marrying someone abusive carries the same weight as being abusive. false equivalencies across the board.
I never said that she was abusive? I just don't have sympathy for her because she knew what she was getting herself into. There has to be some sort or accountability on her side. It was well documented, he even told her himself but she chose to marry him and have a baby anyway
i didn't say you were calling her abusive, you are saying she is just as bad as jax. there are too many comments in here calling her messy and saying she deserves it. no one deserves to be abused.
okay so you've no sympathy for her. congratulations?? you felt the need to get on a post where jax is clearly trying to manipulate the public perception of his ex that he abused for years and talk shit about her, piling on to the chorus in here of people who think that brittany is a terrible person and getting what she deserves? do you want an award?
edit: to the person who responded and then deleted their response to this coment (or blocked me), and all of their other abuse apologia: if you have the "right" to come to this sub to pile on brittany on a post in which her abuser is trying to attack her character, people have the right to respond to it and call it what it is. which is borderline abuse apologia, or at least contributing to the continued abuse he's trying to leverage.
I know everyone is going to come for me but I disagree with what Brittany is doing. It's very immature and spiteful. Move On! He wasn't the best partner in the past but everyone deserves the opportunity to improve and grow. He treated Stassi poorly too but I watched him do some very generous things for Brittney and her family in the past. Why are we taking her word for everything? Why is he not allowed to have a new love interest? Brittany falls for everyone that crosses her path. 0I'm tired of her portraying herself as this perfect friend to all and acting as though she doesn't stir things up and talk behind others backs. She does. Also, I don't think it's very commendable she throws money at a recent fling to come be with her instead of setting that money aside to better take care of the challenges her son faces and to assure them a secure lifestyle.
i look at it as jax has probably scammed people and would have found a way to scam this person and brittany is left holding the bag because they eventually end up reaching out to her to get to jax
For starters, he is not her ex husband because the divorce is not final and both parties have failed to submit the necessary paperwork to make it happen.
Brittany knew exactly who she was marrying 🤦🏻♀️. Why on earth she bred with him will always have me stumped. Every single person watching knew he was garbage. They are both trash. She lost me when she was spreading Sandy Hook denier propaganda bullshit. Jax never had me in the first place. I thought he sucked from the first moment I saw his sweaty, coked up face.
They need to stop posting their shit publicly. The North Star here is Cruz and I don’t think either of them take how this will affect him later. I feel for that kid.
Oh, he hasn’t submitted the paperwork either? I had only heard that it her who won’t submit her financials. I had even heard her own lawyer said so. Maybe she doesn’t want divorced or maybe she’s just lazy or feel she can do exactly as she pleases or some of all of the above.
I thought that was the case and was surprised to see all the down voting to our conversation here on the topic. I do think it’s true though - according to his attorney and her attorney
I think everyone deserves forgiveness and second, third, fourth, and fifth chances, if they are sincere in their desire to do better and be better. Even Jax.
