Jax Taylor Accuses Ex Brittany Cartwright of Sabotaging Career Over Fake Smartwater Deal

Reality‑TV personality Jax Taylor, 47, has accused his estranged wife Brittany Cartwright of deliberately sabotaging his career. The dispute centers on a fake Smartwater brand partnership that Taylor promoted on social media, which the company later confirmed was unauthorized. Cartwright discussed the incident on her "When Reality Hits" podcast, mocking Taylor and stating the brand had never approached him. Taylor says the incident is part of a broader pattern of public humiliation by Cartwright, which he claims interferes with his ability to work and earn a living. He explained that he had accepted the partnership through a third‑party influencer platform, VideoForce.ai, believing it legitimate, and removed the content as soon as he was notified of the error. The couple’s bitter divorce, ongoing since 2021, also involves their son Cruz, born in 2021. Both parties continue to trade accusations publicly while the legal proceedings remain unresolved.
