Brittany Cartwright admitted Jax Taylor had been “very hard” on her on The Valley
Cameras have been able to capture glimpses of Jax and Brittany’s relationship throughout the series — from their highs to their low lows. During Season 1, Episode 5, Brittany admitted that she felt like Jax had been “very hard” on her. “He kind of puts me down a lot whether it’s about if I go out and have a girl’s night and don’t feel good the next day, or the way I look,” she explained.
“Your partner is supposed to lift you up and make you feel good about yourself, and I feel like he’s doing the opposite to me right now and that really sucks, because I’ve been in his corner through all the sh—t he’s put me through,” she added. “I’ve always stuck up for him, I’ve always believed in him, and I just feel like I don’t get the same thing in return.”
