The fact that Brittany and his son are staying in a B&B tells me everything I could ever want to know about Jax. The fact that he wouldn't leave the house so his son could enjoy the comforts of home and not be uprooted from his daily routine is disturbing. He seemed to change after his father passed away and he asked Brittany to marry him, but it seems he has fallen into his old ways. Move on Brittany you deserve so much better!!! You are beautiful inside and out!!!

[@elsie3724]

Omg this might sound creepy but did you post this exact same comment in the valley subreddit?? hahaha I read it the other day and was like EXACTLY!

[@user-is6de8pp7k]

Brittany and her son must move back into their house. They should live there. Not the father Jax.

[@judithvaughan3078]

I feel bad for Brittany I too was on the bandwagon Jax has changed boy was I fooled. I agree with you 100% he should be in the B&B not Brittany

[@nurselisa40]

Brittany didn't want to stay at the house.

[@susiematthews9549]

I certainly hope but you guys don't let Sheena and Nala be on the valley, she know totally sold her house moved into their eyes so she could be on that show she even said she didn't want BPR to start till after fall That way everyone can be done with the valley. I'm going to tell you one thing she didn't care when you got fired did she ever make a phone call and see how you were doing. Is all there going to do is turn it into VPR and you guys don't want that You're on a different path. I know you're very very nice but I would tell if she never know go to your own show

She is done with jax. She does not appear upset at all. She showed more emotion when he cheated with faith and even when he told her it wasnt working out. Its so true. Once you reach the breaking point, theres no going back. Good for you brittany. At least you didn't waste 20 years with this fool. She will be fine. Jax will be a lonely old bachelor

[@Ashley-qu1bc]

The things he said to faith about Brittany were disgusting, he’s the worst.

[@missld6856]

I think she just believes she has control of him but she does not, it seems she thinks that she’s giving him fear that she will leave for good (which she won’t) and she seems to think that her being gone will “change” him but No. I think it’s the only reason why she seems to act cool in the situation. But if it came down to her actually filling for divorce and selling the house and leaving her husband than it would hit her completely different than it is now. At some point tho she needs to make a decision.

[@livinlovelee2683]

Once I had my son it's as if it all clicked and I literally left from the hospital w my baby and never looked back

[@glitterarmy89]

No but she had a child with him and he's only sticking around for 3 years. That's not a good thing. She's a bad mother

[@lynettefarley537]

Brittany I stayed 40 years with a man like Jax hoping he would change. He never did. Dont go back. He won’t change because he doesn’t think anything is wrong with him. He thinks it’s all your fault and always will be. Your son will be better off nit living in a home with a narcissist/sociopath. You are doing the right thing. Stay strong beautiful lady ❤

[@maryschoonover15]

Exactly correct. He thinks there is nothing wrong with him. That's the biggest problem.

[@JMicheleS33]

Over 25 yrs for me, I’ve been dealing with challenging health issues and I’m now disabled, you can’t change a zebra’s stripes, he’s a cruel, abusive narcissist and will never change, it’s taken me awhile to accept it but I certainly have (our issue now is the new dream home we’d just purchased two years ago that was ordered to be sold, he’s been cancelling agents’ scheduled showings and refusing to pay his court ordered spousal support knowing I need it in order to live, just disgusting)!

[@estancia3857]

Can we appreciate her for answering the hard questions honestly? She’s one of the realest cast members I’ve ever met. She doesn’t pull that.. “We’re working on things and things are just hard right now..” She is so genuine and honest on what’s going on in real time. I kind of have to give that to her for being with someone like Jax. He’s the person to dance around things. She’s blunt and honest with answering questions. I hope and wish the best and happiness for herself- and the best co-parenting situation for their son.

"He's a great father," says the woman who had to leave the marital home with her child because Jax could not be bothered.

[@nastassiasmith4786]

Yeah that's a diccc move. I mean why wouldn't he want her and his son to be around everything that he has ever known. His room and everything. We knew he was a P.O.S. but that's so low especially when he keeps trying to say he wants to be just like his dad.

[@jojomiller1630]

OMG he is not a great father…he pretends to be whatever he wants to be but believe me he would destroy your son because he is not capable of loving anyone but HIMSELF! A great father is kind loving and selfless! Those are qualities JAX does not possess! He makes my blood boil with his assholish ways!

[@KazBrown-qu5rn]

Jax was bad from the start she’s just seeing his true colours now

[@JeanBunny-qc2lh]

He’s a terrible father. Great fathers don’t treat the baby’s mother that way. No one will ever convince me he hasn’t laid a hand on her.

Just because they didn’t work out doesn’t mean he isn’t a great father. I will take Brittany’s words over someone who isn’t in their situation. Js.

She's better off alone than with Jax.

[@HiThere-tv2bd]

She needs to go ahead and pull the plug on that marriage. Jax won’t get any better he’s just waiting for Brittany to give in. She can do a million times better.

[@marlynnek6449]

Yeah, it's a DNR

[@leahbia82]

Exactly. When I saw a flashback of when he cheated, his reaction when telling her was almost like, "yes. It happened. You're leaving me now... right?" like he doesn't want to be the bad guy for dumping her, so he does something to make her do it instead.

[@KatGotYourTongue]

Brittany having to live in an airB&B WITH THEIR SON says everything! I hope she sees that!

[@leahbia82]

I'm sure the conversation went something like this: "I pay more of the bills than you do!" 😂He's a douche. Last episode when he started to say that and instead said, "I know what bills I pay... And I know what bills you pay....it's overwhelming." he really wanted to end it with "... and I pay more!!! " 😂

[@houman7784]

She’s totally right - the public is very hard on her. Comments on her appearance especially post baby is so wrong. She seems like such a lovely person and I hope her self confidence is solid. ❤

[@marlynnek6449]

She gained 70 pounds with Cruz. Jax is extremely shallow. He is not the first guy to be turned off by his wife's post-baby figure. Sad but unfortunately true.

​@@MyBeautifulHealthif you've had bad experiences I hope you reported them! I've had a handful of not so great therapists however the others I've worked with have more than made up for it. That's why I tell people if you have a W-2 employer or a EAP plan with your employer most of them will cover three or four visits to various therapists before you pick one so that you could pick one that you really connect with you owe that to yourself so I hope in the future you will give it another go. I have a friend right now that I know would be so much happier if she would go and work with the counselor she's in a very difficult marriage and had a not so great experience with the counselor and that has colored her whole experience now counseling and I've tried to explain to her that that is One bad Apple and a barrel of good ones you can't give up that easily and did not yourself the freedom that you get from going to counseling. My last counselor who just retired gave me so many tools and help me to understand that I was with the extremely dangerous covert narcissist I don't think I would have made it out alive without her help.

[@ashleymcmeakin8590]

Its so refreshing to see Brittany FINALLY opening her eyes and having some self worth! Its so hard to see it for what it is when you're in the middle of that, but everyone on the outside can see how obvious and toxic it is. She's describing an abusive relationship like from the Webster's dictionary here and it's greaaaattt to hear her finally speak it! Its amazing the strength and instinct a mother has to protect her babies and she's probably never gonna get back with him. Watch out fellas, Brittany will be roaming the streets of LA as a very single lady!

He still has speech once a week and once in awhile can be hard to understand if he talks too fast buy he is doing amazing and imo those therapists saved him!!!! And I truly feel like they gave him a life he might have not had without them!!!

My now 9 year old also wasn't speaking clearly and only saying a few words by two and we got him into speech right away. He was speaking in six months! It was amazing honestly. Now we're going thru the autism diagnosis with him mostly due to his social skills lacking, however he's top of his class, makes straight A's every semester, reads at a 7th grade level and is insanely talented in art and computer programming and design. Early intervention is the absolute best place to start.

My youngest Niece was going through the same thing with her son. I was concerned that he was suffering from hearing issues. Finally got her to take him to the ear nose and throat Doctor. Because she had used q-tips so much he had a huge chunk of wax longer than a cigarette! Poor kid couldn't hear because of his ears being clogged with wax from his mom shoving it down in the ear canal with those q-tips. Please don't use them Now that kid talks so much you can't shut him up! 😂 He knows just about everything on everything to do with dinosaur's!!! 😂 Straight A student. My son was the same way.

First time ever watching this channel. I just want to make a comment that the interviewer is one of the best interviewers I’ve ever seen. She asks thought out questions and then she lets Brittany talk. She knows when to interject exactly at the right time. I’m really impressed with the interviewer. I just subscribed.

[@sassysandra245]

To be honest I feel after watching this interviewer with so many other interviews and with ppl like Khloe Kardashian now in comparison she acts very bored with the ppl that aren’t as famous as the Kardashians now she has had them so I’m a lil disappointed but she still has a great interview style but seeing her face it’s very obvious the not as big celebrity’s def look like a job to her where if you watch her on a big celebrity interview she is so happy and giddy you can tell it’s not a job cuz she loves it and she used to be that way with everyone which is what made me sub back then so it’s just sad that it’s hanged her. I feel maybe these ones shouldn’t be filmed so we wouldn’t see the difference is all. I’m hoping maybe she will re evaluate and drop the star struckness so to speak and maybe not want to be besties with only the hot celebrity’s cuz I do feel she was such a better person than this b4 hand!! Ppl say money changes ppl so maybe it can also change ppl back in time!!! There’s always hope! 🙏 ❤❤❤❤ I love Britt!! She’s amazing and authentic!!

I just left a 12 year relationship with a narcissist. The similarities are on point. She can NEVER win! It doesn’t matter how much weight she loses, how successful she is, or how good of a mom she is. He will always put her down and will never treat her the way he did at the beginning when he was love bombing! Jax is a classic narcissist and cannot change! He will always think he’s better than everyone else and make light of his past discretions. He will always be stubborn and a gaslighter!! He will do his best to make her feel like he is better off without her and more successful without her. He will never thank her for changing what people thought about him and saving his career. She thought too much of him and gave him too much credit. He’s NOT a good person!

Brittney is DELIGHTFUL. Thank you for your honesty.

The reason why Tom and Jax are friends again is because narcissists always appreciate a fellow narcissist.

[@kathleendobens6648]

Halleluia! She definitely got this right. He is verbally Abusive. You dont need him. Your so beautiful and kind. You deserve the best .

I love Brittany!!! I was born in eastern KY, I love the accents! She’s beautiful and it’s always seemed that she’s as beautiful inside as outside…I’m very happy she knows her worth as far as Jax is concerned and if he’s smart he’ll be up to the task of doing and being better and putting the work into their marriage.

[@Bumblebee7558]

He didn’t create the concept of The Valley. It was in the works the year of Stassi and Beaus wedding. They were going to film the wedding and then veer off to the valley and have the younger cast stay on VPR. But then Kristen Stacey and those two guys from Tom times all got fired that year. And that’s when they stopped trying to incorporate the younger cast in. IMHO they should’ve kept adding in some new blood so the older people could filter out and keep the show alive. Jax hasn’t matured or gained any self-awareness since he’s been off VPR. When he left VPR he was talking about how it was “his show “ to LVP and we could even get through one season of the valley without him saying it’s his concept.

Loveeeeeee Brittany so much ♥️

[@mademoiselle_m_dk]

Brittany deserves so much more. I think Jax is giving narcissistic traits 🚩🚩🚩! And if so he’s never going to change. I hope she stays strong and gets a happy life and future with her beautiful son. ❤️

[@patternmotherlode9250]

She rly DID forgive so much. I recall the way he disrespected Brittany in their apartment right in front of her mother in early days, and I was like "Hell No!.. This guy is DEAD TO ME!!" Once someone is willing to take shots at you, and hurt you in front of the ppl that love and will defend you... They're telling you they have zero restraint, and you can only expect it to get worse as things get more stressful.

[@Janet-Martin]

😮😮 I remember the exact scene you were speaking about and I couldn't agree with you more because Brittany has always forgiven him for everything that he has done to her but yet if you remember when he got caught cheating it was all the girls fault not his and that's what the interviewer was asking her is how did you go home with him that night after he did that to you and have s*x with him ??? Brittany was not telling the truth and it wasn't the next night it was the same exact night she got him doing it !!! 👍👍

[@KC-lj1ph]

Much love and support to Brittany!

[@lovelylisa-tw2kg]

Jax not moving out of the home to allow his own innocent son and estranged wife stay tells you all you need to know. Jax is not a man and has no idea how to love or to be a good human being. I wish Brit all the best- she deserves it.

[@MariaRodriguez-om1yi]

I absolutely love Brittany. She’s the best.

[@PeaceMatters5]

Aww she's so sweet I could cry ❤

[@kylehollie]

Well Jax and Scan are equal in douche-hood. Makes sense they gravitate back towards each other.

[@tiffanytovar6762]

I love her !!

[@CBB672]

Amanda Hersch great interview, you packed a lot in, and were very kind & fun!
