Vanderpump Rules star Brittany Cartwright spoke out about her ex Jax Taylor dating her former publicist Lori Krebs, sharing she hopes they are “absolutely miserable.”
Brittany Cartwright is speaking out on Jax Taylor’s new romance.
Less than two weeks after E! News confirmed her estranged husband is dating their former publicist Lori Krebs, the Vanderpump Rules alum shared her candid thoughts on the relationship.
“I never wish bad for anybody but they have to be absolutely miserable,” Cartwright told People in a video posted on Aug. 4, “and I hope they are.”
“My honest opinion is that my ex needs a mommy,” the 37-year-old—who broke up with Taylor in 2024—continued in the video, adding elsewhere, “I've never seen another publicist want to be the center of attention like she did.”
E! News has reached out to Taylor’s rep and Krebs but has not received comment.
Cartwright’s heated interview comes after Taylor confirmed that he is, in fact, in a relationship. As the 47-year-old commented on his July 29 Instagram post after a fan suggested that he should be on The Bachelor, “No thanks I’m taken.”
While Taylor did not mention Krebs by name, a source previously told E! News that the two are dating, though there was no overlap between their romance and his split from Cartwright, with whom he shares 5-year-old son Cruz.
“There was never a years-long secret affair,” the insider shared, noting that Taylor and Krebs started dating after they “had already been separated” from their respective partners. “Their relationship changed only in the last several months.”
Last month, Cartwright said she planned on remaining mum about her ex’s relationship with Krebs until the time was right.
"All I’m going to say about this at this moment is I will be speaking my truth—the truth—on this matter very soon whenever I’m ready," she said on the July 17 episode of her podcast When Reality Hits. "As of right now, I am focusing on me and the most important thing in my life, which is my beautiful son.”

Much of Vanderpump Rules' first season, which debuted in 2013, focused on the drama surrounding Jax Taylor cheating on then-girlfriend Stassi Schroeder in Las Vegas. And after his hook-up with co-star Kristen Doute was revealed during season two, the couple broke up for good.
The VPR alum began dating the casting executive in 2017 while she was still on the show. After she was fired from the series in 2020, Schroeder and Beau Clark legally tied the knot in September of that year during the COVID-19 pandemic before welcoming daughter Hartford in January 2021.
The two later held a formal wedding in Italy in May 2022 and welcomed their second child, son Messer, in 2023.
