Brittany Cartwright has been granted a temporary protective order against estranged husband Jax Taylor.
On Thursday (August 27), the 37-year-old The Valley star filed a restraining order request in Los Angeles Superior Court, accusing the 47-year-old Vanderpump Rules alum of domestic violence, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
According to Brittany, Jax had allegedly exhibited “coercive control, financial abuse, emotional and psychological abuse, gaslighting and even physical violence perpetrated upon” for nearly a decade.
She also claimed that he once threatened to “gut [her] like a fish” and physically attacked her.

Though they are not officially divorced yet, the former couple finalized the custody agreement for their 5-year-old son Cruz in March 2026, agreeing to share joint legal and physical custody. In an from May, Brittany shared an update on co-parenting with Jax.
The restraining order against Jax comes weeks after he officially confirmed that he’s dating Lori Krebs, Brittany’s now-former longtime publicist and one-time close friend. If you didn’t see, Brittany publicly addressed the shocking relationship.
