[@alla.e]

How awkward of them to put them both on an interview like this. Who made this decision?? 🧐 super weird

[@adventuresofSho]

They are still doing a podcast together whole broken up

[@feelgoodgenerationx680]

She looks like graucho marx!!!

[@heatherthompson8878]

Well they agreed to it sooo lol

[@beats4u2]

Good press

[@elinmiller6303]

I love it :D

[@PH-xk9bs]

He totally cheated on her or is cheating on her. Jax will always be a cheater and a liar. He can't stand Katie because she calls him out on it.

[@RoxxiWalker]

He’s not attracted to her hasn’t been since day one…

[@mauisuzuki7857]

I just love how you guys have something to say like you know him!!! Just crazy!

[@RoxxiWalker]

@@mauisuzuki7857 Jax is that you?

[@Darima2]

He literally said he wasn't attracted to her to another woman post-coitus and she STILL married him! And now you're surprised he's not attracted to you?? Like come on. Pride alone should have prevented her from taking him back. ​@@RoxxiWalker

[@RoxxiWalker]

[@NicoleShew]

So he isn’t sleeping with Brittany, yet we’re supposed to believe he isn’t cheating?? Riiiiiiiiiight…

[@ED80s]

I know right.

[@KazBrown-qu5rn]

Most men do when there cheating Jax looks guilty

[@centigradz2centigradz289]

This is such an awkward interview. I've never seen something like this before.

[@texasinkedgrandma5366]

The body language is telling… Jax closed arms right straight center ; his female counterpart right next to him

[@coraburch860]

Brittany is in an Air B and B but toddler jac couldn't give her and the kids their house and he leave? Very telling right there

[@Zeusgodofthunder]

Yeah that’s bad

[@user-vp3qm2mm3f]

Jacs jac cheater before marriage. Nothing will change.....he wont change

[@oldorleans9583]

Yes he's taken a leaf out of Toms book right there, I'm surprised that Brittany has just left when she's invested in their home just like Ariana did

[@Justice4ALL.120]

My ex-husband, a narcissist, did this to me and our daughter. He refused to leave the marital home (it was about his image and how it would look to others; there is no caring or concern for the wife's and/or the child's welfare or comfort.) Ofc, I left hlm and the marital home. He was a serial cheater; the day I left was the day after I asked for a divorce and he pulled a shotgun on me in front of our daughter. My daughter begged me to not have him arrested so, instead, I had him taken to the local psych ward whereupon he was released the following morning (he is 'connected', via local sports teams as well as coaching, to the 'big shots' in our community. This was a calculated, successful move on his part.) When he walked in the following morning after being released (no one contacted me to discuss what actually happened the night prior) and began mocking me, I began packing my suitcases. It has been over 20 years, and he has not changed at all (I know this via our daughter.) He manipulated a local pastor into ordaining him and then proceeded to 'steal' half of that pastor's congregation and start his own 'church'. He never had a real job in his entire life (he worked in recreation for the local govt office; he literally got paid to play basketball and the like with teenagers. For narcissists, it is ALL about ego, money, power, and 'fame'. To this very day, my ex lies about me (it is a small town so it gets back to me sometimes.) He mounted a successful smear campaign against me (telling people how 'worried' he was/is about my being a drug abuser and being so promiscuous...as well as my being crazy and violent. None of this is true, but people believed him because they think pastors do not lie. Also, I kept to myself and was never given an opportunity to defend myself against his allegations. He is older now and has pretty much destroyed the church and his second marriage, but he remains unrepentant and arrogant to his very core. He has ruined many lives because he was allowed 'power' (e.g., he did marriage counseling at his church and there was a inordinately high percentage of divorces as a result. Because he is a mysogynist (as well as possessing other narcissistic personality traits), he gave terrible marital advice and mostly counseled the couples separately. He almost always took the husband's side no matter what, while being sure to comfort and support the wives he deemed physically attractive) I know this to be a fact because I know most of the people involved. His current wife (who he moved into our marital home before I could even get my clothing out of it) wants him to leave their marital home (they have 2 adult daughters together who do not even speak to their father); he refuses to do so. And this is my snapshot example of my (I would wager as correct) theory as to why Brittany and their son are forced to live outside the marital home....Jax is refusing to leave and it is the only way Brittany can get away from his emotional (I hope it is not physical as well) abuse . To Brittany: Do as you will, but please know he will NEVER change. Research narcissistic abuse, and I guarantee you will feel like you could have written most, if not all, of what you read.

[@MyNameIsMyName.]

Let’s not act like this a 1 bedroom shared kitchen air B&B 😂.

[@karenschneider7433]

Jax will never let go of his amazingly huge ego. Not a compliment. He needs to be told constantly he is the number one guy. 🤦‍♀️

[@nvbee5024]

It's a full time job stroking that ego of his! Sheesh 😂

[@xtinamarie_333]

It's maniacal 👎

[@StorytimeVade]

Only 1 person Jax is in love with and that’s himself.

[@nbpg8103]

Why is she in an Airbnb with her kid and not him???

[@janbarrett4544]

Because she made the decision to move out.

[@janetskelley8555]

Because he's a pig!

[@Daniela-Christianson]

Meaning, Jax should be the one living in the Air bnb, and Brittany and the son staying in the house ​@@janbarrett4544

[@Missbusybee2010]

I knew Jax was never going to last with Brittany they are two different people but Britney just kept hanging on just to be in Ca and on the show

[@roter13]

She knew who she married. Don't have any sympathy for Brittany.

[@DeeDee-44]

Yeah right. Remember that clip with her phone, looking up what sociopath means. She's so clueless.

[@m.canida96]

Totally agree !! She didn’t learn her lesson the first time. And just because they have a child together, doesn’t mean Jax wouldn’t cheat again. I feel so bad for their son !!

[@Ashley4DS]

Jax still loves Stassi. He's never gotten over her, in my opinion. Sorry Brit, he showed himself before you said I do, and you should have realized it then.

[@rubytuesday9881]

Gosh, what a coincidence that the split is announced JUST BEFORE the premiere of their new show!

[@Livingsamsara]

When Brittany _says_ Jax didn't cheat on her we ALL know that she is saying he's not _admitted_ it to her *and* that even if she suspected it, she would (want to) not believe it.

[@malayacarey69]

jax acts like the rest of us were born knowing how to be good parents or faithful partners 😒🙄

[@allthingskia9424]

Brittany more than likely he was treating you like crap so u could leave..so he can creep in peace..than when u come back and anything comes out..he will then say well we we're on a break..you moved out with my son..Men will make you miserable until you leave them.. so they wont be a villian

[@JourneyToSelf-Love9]

Ooooh girl!!!!! I have never thought about this before. This is such a great outlook. I've never looked at it like that 😮 honestly I've never been with somebody who has treated me like that so I don't know, (Not saying that you have ❤), but this is a great different perspective!

[@fakiola9184]

He’s not that smart!

[@JourneyToSelf-Love9]

@@fakiola9184 Believe me, he is. That's why the women he cheated on still stayed for how long ...

girl yes!!! that's definitely the play he's playing. smh. I remember dating a guy like this, would start fights just to take off and mess around with the town's bar wh0re.

[@carolwalker4026]

🤔 If u look at Jax's body language arms r folded together close to his body says I'm closed off n Brittany isn't closed off arms were down.🤔

[@MMgoodies]

Did Jax cheat on Brittney? I already know the answer. In fact, I think we all do. Next question

[@melissak8892]

Kids need more than just "all the love in the world." They need structure. They need discipline. They need security. Not two "co-parents" who spoil the kid rotten in an attempt to one up one another. Take responsibility for yourself and your decisions and stop altering reality so you don't have to feel like failures.

[@lorrainelyons3783]

She married that Fool🤯nice that he doesn’t mind his son in an Air BnB, he just that guy though🤦🏻‍♀️

[@LPnerd]

who said he doesn't mind. and listen, Britany is not who he married. She has changed a lot, maybe for the better, Jax seems to have changed too, but I'm not ready to judge either of them from what I see on a TV show, good or bad.

[@oneday455]

Surprised to see Jax so shut down.

[@mea117]

Wow! I barely recognize Brittany. She looks like she had many plastic surgeries. She was so much better looking being natural.

[@ComicBrooks]

Jax ain't wrong, Katie is the most miserable person on reality TV and misery loves company!

[@jengomez7226]

Omg what happened to Brittany's face??

[@karenholcomb2968]

Well I sae on their new show that Brittany had lypo on her chin. I think maybe she should've kept the double chin she at first at least from what I saw it changed the way she moved her mouth. But she does look like she's having botox and or fillers also. She would probably look so much better natural she was so pretty before. Even just like a year ago.

[@tazzibear86]

I really wonder how their kid will feel when he grows up and sees this awkward interview (and let's face it, their dad's cheating on Vanderpump Rules). At least they were both civil and want the best for their son. Also that was harsh what Jax said about Katie being a miserable human being. I noticed Brittany agreeing and saying it's true and Kristen was silent. I wonder if that friendship is completely dead.

[@halimamamane6487]

I listened to a recent episode of Jax and Brittanys podcast where Kristin said she is still working with Katie on their wine brand.

[@jessebos5413]

Jax likes his women trim and fit!, and there is nothing wrong with that. Brittney doesn't seem to want to put in the work needed to stay looking as good as she did when they first got together..(and don't come at me about baby weight, because I gained weight in both my pregnancies, and worked hard to successfully lose it afterwards, and she was already getting big before she got pregnant ) If my husband was in good shape when we met, and then gained a huge amount of weight, I would no longer be attracted to him the same way either! I know this sounds harsh, and that there are people out there that will call that shallow, - which it is - 😂, but the really honest people out there will agree with me...😊.....sorry...

[@Daniela-Christianson]

She's definitely lost weight though. May be because of emotional pain.

[@BellaDonna871]

He’s still so aggressive in like a underhanded way

[@karenholcomb2968]

Yes. I think that's why she said she moved out for her mental health. She has said before that she never knows what Jax she's gonna get. I truly think he has mental illness that's why he behaves the way he does. Honesty is one thing but being aggressive is another
