Brittany Cartwright Says Jax Taylor Didn’t Change 'At All' In Rehab - He Was Sending Her 'Rage' Texts The Whole Time!

Brittany Cartwright doesn’t think seeking mental health treatment helped Jax Taylor at all! Oof!

As Perezcious readers know, amid the couple’s split over the summer (before she filed for divorce), the Vanderpump Rules alum checked himself into a 30-day treatment facility, where he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD. Despite checking into rehab, which would imply someone really wanted to make a change to their life, Brittany doesn’t think it helped at all!

During Monday’s episode of Bravo‘s Hot Mic podcast, The Valley star dished:

“I don’t feel like he changed at all in those 30 days. And the reason, I’m sure it’ll be on the show as well, but, you know, a lot of rage texting and stuff was still going on the entire time that he was in rehab.”

What?? He was “rage texting” her between therapy sessions? Yikes!! This was a major turning point for the reality star, who realized she had no choice but to file for divorce in late August. She reflected:

“So, for me, I was just noticing like, this is just going to be constant. Like, if you’re in therapy seven hours a day, and you’re still finding time to call me names and cuss me out? And send me rage texts? Then you’re obviously not ever gonna change.”

Damn. Such a difficult reality check. The 35-year-old mother of one recalled thinking:

“This is bad, I can’t stay in this. It was very eye-opening. I was like, let’s do it now before I change my mind. And I’m so glad I did, I’m not changing my mind. I’m so happy with this decision.”

Elsewhere in the podcast, the TV personality said she was surprised she actually followed through with the split, adding:

“Because I wasn’t sure when I was gonna do it, how I was gonna do it, if I was gonna do it.”

She went on share that she was concerned the bar owner would get out of the facility and draw her back in “because he’s been able to do that for 10 years.” So when she saw those rage texts lighting up her phone, she knew this was the right time to file and break the cycle, explaining:

“I was just like, ‘I have to do this now. Before I back out. Before he gets out of the mental health facility and pulls me back in. I have to do it now while I’m feeling strong, while I’m so angry, I’ve just got to get it done.'”

And she has no regrets:

“I felt relieved, and like I wasn’t in there crying my eyes out like I thought I would. It just kind of made me realize like, yeah, this is done. This is done.”

Whoa. Just imagine if Jax had gotten into that rehab and made significant changes — or, at the very least, just restrained from sending those heated texts. Things could be SO different right now! Hear Brittany open up even more (below):
