Brittany Cartwright'S Publicist Drama: Love, Betrayal, And Bombshells

The Publicist's Last-Minute Warning

Brittany Cartwright's world turned upside down when her former publicist, Lori Krebs, sent her a cautionary text just hours before a bombshell hit the headlines. Krebs warned Cartwright about her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, and their relationship's unexpected turn, leaving Cartwright feeling betrayed. On "Watch What Happens Live," Cartwright, 37, shared the details of that fateful day, describing how Krebs expressed love for her and her 5-year-old son, Cruz, while insisting she never divulged secrets to Taylor.

"She sent me a text message morning of – two hours before the TMZ photos came out – and let me know 'things have changed' and that she knows I will feel betrayed," Cartwright revealed.

Broken Bonds and Unbelievable Lies

Despite the betrayal, Cartwright confirmed Krebs was still her publicist, receiving a retainer and a 10% profit. The "Valley" star defended their friendship, slamming Taylor's claim that she and Krebs had been distant for over a year. "I had just invited her to Fourth of July cookout at my house," Cartwright said, pointing out Krebs' recent appearance on "WWHL" with her.

Cartwright is shocked by Krebs' actions, especially since Krebs supported her during her troubled marriage. "She was my family member, the person I went to whenever I was being abused in that relationship. I cried on her shoulders," she stated, highlighting the depth of their bond.

A Tangled Web of Love and Loyalty

As for Jax Taylor, from whom Cartwright split in February 2024, she claimed he "harasses" her through their co-parenting app. The "Vanderpump Rules" alum humorously noted, "He just kind of fights with himself on there," much to the audience's amusement. Taylor swiftly responded to Cartwright's remarks on Instagram, dismissing her claims as "blatant lies."

Adding fuel to the fire, Taylor was recently spotted getting cozy with Krebs in Mexico, sparking even more controversy. The photos, which show them in a steamy embrace, have left fans wondering about the dynamics between the trio. Krebs, who has been a trusted publicist for both Taylor and Cartwright for over a decade, now finds herself at the center of a media storm.

The Fallout

A source close to the situation shared with Page Six that Krebs "has always inserted herself into moments that should be about her clients," but this time, she has "crossed a line she cannot come back from." Taylor, meanwhile, has confirmed he's "taken," but left everyone guessing about his new love interest.

As the dust settles, the tangled relationships among Cartwright, Taylor, and Krebs continue to captivate fans and followers alike.
