The post-breakup fallout between Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright has taken a bizarre turn involving beverage endorsements and alleged Instagram sabotage. Jax is putting his estranged wife on blast, claiming she has been making deliberate attempts to wreck his brand deals behind closed doors for years. The former *Vanderpump Rules* bartender publicly shared a screenshot of a direct message Brittany allegedly sent to the official Smartwater account. In the reported exchange, Cartwright reached out directly to the company in an effort to call off a potential sponsorship deal linked to her ex. ## What did Brittany Cartwright allegedly DM Smartwater? Jax claims Brittany took it upon herself to contact the hydration brand to pull the plug on his business arrangement. However, the situation quickly backfired when the company allegedly responded that they didn't even have a deal in place with Jax to begin with. Calling out the awkward interaction, Jax blasted his estranged wife for trying to torpedo a paycheck that wasn't even real, remarking on how awful the move looked. He further alleged that this incident is part of a broader pattern, claiming Brittany has repeatedly tried to interfere with his professional opportunities and financial income streams since their relationship fell apart. ## Are Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright getting divorced? The dramatic claims come as the two reality TV stars navigate their highly publicized separation while starring on Bravo's *Vanderpump Rules* spinoff, *The Valley*. The couple, who married in 2019 and share a three-year-old son, split early in 2024 following months of intense relationship friction. Brittany has not yet publicly addressed the leaked screenshots or Jax's claims about her attempting to interfere with his commercial partnerships. However, the online call-out shows that the former couple's business ties are just as fractured as their romantic relationship. As both reality stars continue navigating life after separation, fans are left watching every awkward update play out in real time across social media.
