Brittany Cartwright is reportedly feeling betrayed after photos surfaced showing her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, with her longtime publicist, Lori Krebs. According to a source cited by Page Six, Cartwright discovered the pair’s romantic involvement shortly before images were published by TMZ showing them together at a Mexico resort. The development has created a significant professional and personal conflict for the reality star, who had previously dismissed rumors regarding the pair’s relationship.
The Professional and Personal Fallout
According to a source who spoke with Page Six, Cartwright feels deeply disillusioned because she had previously trusted Krebs despite earlier rumors. “When the Jax-Lori rumors first started swirling two years ago, Brittany chose to believe Lori that nothing was going on,” the source stated. “She continued to work with her and trust her, and this is how Lori repays her?”
Did you know?
Lori Krebs, who has represented both Cartwright and Taylor, has deactivated her Instagram account following the public emergence of the photos from the Mexico trip.
History of Denied Rumors
Speculation surrounding Taylor and Krebs is not new. In early 2024, rumors began circulating that the two had been intimate during a work trip to Canada. At the time, Cartwright publicly defended her publicist on a podcast, describing Krebs as a “very, very good friend” and an “amazing publicist.” Taylor also denied the allegations in April 2024, characterizing them as “hearsay” in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
The Impact on the Divorce Proceedings
Cartwright, 37, filed for divorce from Taylor, 46, in August 2024, citing a separation date of January 2024. The couple, who share a 5-year-old son named Cruz, had been the subject of frequent infidelity allegations during their time on Vanderpump Rules. While Taylor has previously acknowledged one instance of infidelity during their marriage, the current situation represents a new complication in their ongoing divorce proceedings.
Future Implications for Celebrity PR
The source noted, “Lori has always inserted herself into moments that should be about her clients… but this time, she inserted herself into her clients’ divorce and crossed a line she cannot come back from.” As of now, it remains unclear if Krebs will continue to represent either party.
