Brittany Cartwright’s legal battle with estranged husband Jax Taylor just intensified. On August 27, a judge granted her a temporary protective order, requiring Taylor to stay at least 100 yards away from her. The order follows Cartwright’s allegations of domestic violence, coercive control, financial abuse, and gaslighting that she claims dates back nearly a decade. Taylor has denied these accusations, but the court’s decision signals that officials took her concerns seriously.
The judge, however, did not grant Cartwright’s request for sole custody of their young son Cruz. That decision has been pushed to a future hearing, meaning the custody fight is far from over. This is a developing story, and fans of Vanderpump Rules and The Valley are watching closely as the legal process unfolds.
In other celebrity news, Oliver Hudson and Erinn Bartlett moved their eldest son Wilder into his college dorm on August 24, with Hudson admitting the emotional moment came with lots of tears. Meanwhile, Nick Hogan shared in a new interview that he and sister Brooke are now in a really good place, marking a positive shift in their relationship after years of family tension. What do you think about the protective order decision? Should custody be revisited sooner? Let us know in the comments.
