Jax Taylor Asks Judge for Restraining Order Against Brittany Cartwright Days After Her Filing 

The contentious divide between Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright has grown deeper. 

Days after Cartwright, 37, was granted a temporary restraining order against Taylor, 47, the original Vanderpump Rules cast member asked a judge to grant no-contact, stay-away and no-abuse orders against his estranged wife, whom he married in 2019. 

Taylor’s Aug. 31 legal request, obtained by E! News, was filed “in opposition to the Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order filed by Petitioner Brittany Nicole Cartwright,” while simultaneously requesting his own domestic violence restraining order.    

The House of Villains alum (real name Jason Cauchi) contended that his ex’s Aug. 27 request should be denied because “her recent allegations describe co-parenting friction and protected responses to her own public attacks, not abuse.”   

“Since Brittany and I separated in January 2024, she has made me the target of relentless public and private attacks,” Taylor, who shares son Cruz Cauchi, 5, with Cartwright, alleged in the document. “Within the past six months in particular these attacks have taken on a viciousness that has become intolerable.”
