Brittany Cartwright upset by Lala Kent's Jax praise

Lala Kent shared how her praise for Jax Taylor’s recovery upset Brittany Cartwright, his estranged wife. On a recent episode of her podcast, Kent talked about receiving a call from Cartwright after she expressed pride in Taylor's push toward sobriety. Kent acknowledged that her support for Taylor didn’t resonate well with Cartwright. She said, “Of course that’s what everyone picked up and it did throw Brittany off.” Kent understood Cartwright's feelings and reflected on how she would react in a similar situation. During the podcast, Kent discussed her six years of sobriety and the importance of supporting others in recovery. She aimed to uplift Taylor as he works on himself, especially after he revealed his long struggle with cocaine addiction. Cartwright, however, has expressed doubts about Taylor's progress, describing him as not truly changed. Despite the tension, Kent stated that she values her friendship with Cartwright. She urged open and honest communication, saying, “We do not have a true friendship if you cannot call me and talk about how you’re feeling.” She emphasized her loyalty to Cartwright over Taylor, highlighting the pain Cartwright has endured in their relationship. In a podcast episode, Taylor also addressed the situation. He praised Cartwright for her efforts to help him, stating that she deserves no blame for their troubles. Taylor acknowledged that their issues extended beyond substance abuse. For those struggling with substance abuse, resources such as the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline are available for support.
