Jax Taylor DEFENDS Ex Brittany Cartwright After Revealing His Drug Problem!

Jax Taylor is coming to Brittany Cartwright’s defense!

Earlier this month, the 45-year-old reality star revealed he has been battling a cocaine addiction on and off for years! Since all the back when he was 23! He is now sober-ish, having not had any cocaine or alcohol in more than 83 days. That said, he does still smoke weed.

Following the confession, Brittany has faced some unfair criticism. She even had to defend herself after people questioned her for staying with Jax despite knowing he had a drug problem all these years! Some apparently have even gone further and blamed her for not getting him help sooner! WTF! Now, Jax wants everyone to back off. During the premiere episode of his new podcast Inside the Mind of a Man on Thursday, he took to the mic to make it clear that he does not blame Brittany for his struggles with addiction — nor should anyone else.

Talking about his decision to reveal his substance abuse issues, Jax shared that he didn’t “really care what anybody thought except for Brittany” as he just “just wanted to make sure she was happy.” She was his “only priority” at that moment. Whether the When Reality Hits host believes this is a different story! More on that later!

Although Britt knew about Jax’s drug problems, he recognized it still must have been “very hurtful” for his former longtime partner to him confess all this for the first time, no matter how delicately he handled it:

“When I was doing that, I wanted to make sure that I was very delicate. She has gone through the most out of all of this. And I know people are going to reach out to her and possibly applaud her. But there’s the people that don’t and say, ‘Why didn’t you try to get him help sooner?’”

Ugh! And that is the last thing Jax wants anyone to do! The Valley star doesn’t want anyone to criticize Brittany! He continued:

“This is in no way, shape or form her fault at all. She should not be getting any kind of flack for this whatsoever. She’s an amazing mother. She’s an amazing person and she’s a human being and she was pushed. She was pushed to her limits and I don’t blame her. And there was other things that went on [in the] relationship too, that had nothing to do with drinking and alcohol that she’s still upset about.”

Jax didn’t elaborate what “other things” he alluded to was. Could it be all the fighting? Did he cheat on her… again? Last year, Brittney insisted infidelity was not a factor in their split. However, this is Jax Tayor. The guy hasn’t had a great track for telling the truth and staying faithful. Could she later have found evidence he was cozying up to someone else during their marriage and that is what “she’s still upset about?” Or did something else happen? Hmm.

FYI, Brittany hasn’t addressed everything Jax said on the new podcast — like what else went down in their relationship. However, she mentioned to Access Hollywood on the iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet that she doesn’t believe he thought about her or her feelings while opening up about his addiction for the first time — not for “one ounce.” She added:
