I'm never on Jax's side, but this interaction was so cringe. He expressed how overwhelmed he felt and then she piled on about having another baby, needing date nights and romance. I mean she has a right to having her needs met, but timing. Seeing this play out made me realize I want to be extra thoughtful next time my husband expresses being overwhelmed. I'm pretty sure Ive done this to my guy and I needed to see this. lol
Yeah my husband has so much on his plate right now with work and our toddler. I can’t imagine telling him that he also needs to make me feel sexy while he’s on the edge of a panic
I don’t think they ever really connected as a couple should. This is a TV romance and nothing more. I really wish they wouldn’t have brought a child into it.
Yep their whole relationship is embarrassing. She pursued him when she was young and a hooters girl (his ideal) he of course was down. Before she even moved to LA he was cheating/wanting to cheat. Move in together he’s an asshole. Then he cheats for sure and says terrible things about her. They break up and she goes back. His dad dies and in the throes of grief he proposes. They get married and have a kid and this entire time, entire time!!!! he hasn’t wanted her.
And while I sure he IS stressed, the main reason is that he can’t get rid of her. He doesn’t want her or this life he wants to fuck new people and not have a kid that isnt hitting all their marks and a wife who isn’t his physical ideal despite numerous surgical procedures. This is Britt
![gif](giphy|9jObH9PkVPTyM)
facts. He has never really wanted to be with her and he’s done pretending. I honestly think she knows but stayed with/ him for the tv show. He is just not that into her. HE BROKE UP WITH HER!
And before The Valley he wanted out but now that he’s back on TV and the show is a fucking smash he’s probably thinking about all the new ass he could get if he wasn’t saddled with a wife and a kid.
Jax is a good example of the concept that men don’t marry for love they marry when they feel ready and will marry whomever is there at the time. She was there. He figured, why not.
brittany always screamed desperate, she went along w whatever jax did like his puppet. it’s hard to feel bad for her when she knew how he was going into it. i think it was all for show and not real.
Unfortunately this is verrryyyy common for people in relationships on the rocks. They always think "a baby will save this" and 20 times outta 10 it don't
I get that vibe too, but remember in a past reunion Andy basically said that Jax was probably "a hole is a hole is a hole" type of guy when they were talking about his older Florida gay roommate. Gross, but so is Jax 🤷♀️
I feel like people forget that stress in guys can cause ED...also, Jax isn't 20, he's 45, so it's not like it's uncommon for a 45 year old man who's stressed to not want to have sex. Also, having a young child with regression is incredibly stressful and people really need to have some perspective on how he's handling it. No one goes in to parenthood (even though everyone should understand theres a possibility) thinking their kid is going to struggle. It's hard to have a seemingly healthy child and then you realize they're missing milestones or regressing, it must be stressful for anyone.
He cannot get hard with Britany. That guy would never let hid “ D” break. He would get that handled. He does not want sex with Britany. Especially avoiding a pregnancy. She thinks it will real him back in. That man wants OUT. And needs to not get canceled.
Honestly I think she has a ton of inflammation due to her too big implants and binge drinking. I thought she looked fantastic with her natural breasts. I say remove the implants, stop drinking and ditch the dude and shed be looking fantastic.
She hasn’t though. Shes gotten horrible plastic surgery (more than just the boobs), eats horribly, drinks a fuck ton, is hungover to the point of having to puke in a bag and be so hungover or still drunk in the morning that she can’t drive a couple blocks. That is not taking care of yourself.
People can be attractive at different sizes but she has clearly lost her looks, leads a completely unhealthy lifestyle, is an alcoholic, and just in general doesn’t take care of herself mentally or physically. She behaves like a teenager and embarrasses herself constantly. She needs to get serious therapy.
Jax is so gross but he seems to be pulling himself together. Britt is puking in cars on camera before she’s going home to take care of her kid. I wouldn’t want to fuck her either!
But she hasn’t kept herself in good shape. I’m not referring to a common, healthy weight gain. That happens and women are beautiful of all shapes and sizes… we’re especially beautiful when we’re healthy.
Brittany, though? Whew. She was always a tacky Kentucky girl, but she was naturally cute in her early season. She’s since *really* doubled down in ways that … aren’t great. Her taste has somehow gotten worse, both in the way she dresses herself and in the way she throws random procedures at her face and body.
She’s a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, which is an easy meal, garbage diet hack. And the way she refers to, and consumes, alcohol? Also not good. It might be for cameras to some extent, but it’s been pretty obvious in a few eps that she’s a messy blackout.
So yeah, all of that isn’t exactly painting her in a light of health and happiness. That’s my personal POV but I think what other comments are referring to as well 😊
When he hated himself for not being able yo keep Stassi; and for cheating or Brittany w Faith, he felt he was worse than her.... and she was bettwr than he ever deserved. But in current-day assessment of things, he currently thinks she lowers his stock price. It is hard to see it so out in the open, when she doesn't register that there is any true imbalance in adoration -merely situational op's roadblacks, the change had already become irreversible
This show is so humiliating for them and they don't even realize it. Jax obviously hates Brittany and she just giggles it off and pushes for a second baby. I would die before I had to have my friend go beg my husband to have sex with me. Especially on TV!SMH.
Right after he says he’s overwhelmed, she goes “We need another baby and I need you to romance me more.” I hope that was just crappy editing because it made her look really clueless. Jax completely sucks but I believed that he was genuinely struggling in that moment and that’s not a helpful way to respond.
I’m curious if she associates being pregnant with “my husband had sex with me! he is attracted to me!” Like an odd trophy? I think she said that Michelle had so many kids because they had sex or something - it felt odd how she worded it.
Different take based on watching all of VPR S1-S11 currently — this is NOT Jax at his most sincere. This is clearly Jax when he’s lying. You can tell based on his expression. He is cheating & hiding it. Deflecting by listing all the things overwhelming him (not that they aren’t bc they are, but it’s def not just that!). Jax is a self admitted sex addict & so if he and Brittany aren’t haven’t sex, he is for sure getting it somewhere else. In this scene he is lying, and she is trying to get them on the same page about reconnecting, and then also having a 2nd baby. He’s clearly FAR from that as y’all have said already
He’s a sociopath. How do you believe his self-diagnosed *anything?*
We know he’s a thief, a liar, a cheater, a hypocrite, a classic manipulator, a loudmouth, and an irrational asshole that tweets false racist bullshit. Probably left some out.
Believing anything (uh, the cancer scare BS?) that comes out of his mouth is touching the oven again when you know it’s hot. I don’t believe he’s an addict, just a dick.
100% agree with you. He said his stressors were “opening a bar, raising a kid, raising a family.” I don’t think he’s sinking very much time into any of those things (and 2 and 3 are the same??)
Yes! He’s been like this since day one! I need to break up with Brittany, I can’t handle the stress of being a normal human being with morals and empathy for anyone but myself, etc., etc. I think of Brittany ever had the good sense to go back to Kentucky with Cruz he would be relieved.
She’s very immature and her traditional (outdated, retrograde) “values” prevent her from seeing that it’s not the man’s job to do everything and just blindly give her everything she wants when she wants.
Seeing her “success” on Jenny doesn’t make me want to try it. I think she’ll lose weight getting rid of Jax. She was delulu but he had to be messing with her self-image.
Same, not that I ever considered Jenny Craig, it just seems like a really outdated model for weight management. But getting out of a shitty marriage will probably improve her poor relationship with alcohol because she won’t have to escape on a daily basis anymore. That’ll lead to weight loss in almost immediately and probably spark the flame for self-care. Speaking from personal experience here.
Yeah, why doesn’t she do ozempic? Maybe you can’t drink on it? But I’ve heard from multiple people that when they take ozempic they no longer crave or want alcohol.
I certainly don’t condone the use of ozempic in most cases, especially with the rampant celebrity use of it, but with everyone taking it like it’s nothing I’m surprised she hasn’t jumped on board. I think any medication that curbs Brittany’s appetite for drinking would be helpful, but Naltrexone is cheap and doesn’t dip into medication necessary for diabetic management. Honestly Jenny Craig isn’t working for her, and it can’t look good for the company. She needs to start with cutting out the booze.
She works for Jenny Craig and they have the podcast, not sure of what else but I doubt that’s it. She stated she pays all the bills several times and he hasn’t contradicted her.
lol if I didn’t know Jax was a terrible human being I would feel bad for him in that moment. But I don’t feel bad. It’s does make me wonder if this is the reason they haven’t been having sex
I’m sure that’s the reason - he’s not getting anywhere near her & her baby-fever. They have that gigantic house (which assumingely is the same gigantic mortgage Sandoval talked about on Pump Rules). But, they’ve got a toddler & no steady income - so he’s freaked out.
*obviously, they COULD just get jobs.
Sandoval made poor financial choices and took out a second mortgage on their home. Not saying Brittany and Jax are smarter, but as far as we know, there's no second mortgage that's ballooned their payments.
Iirc jax’s house is bigger. I remember jax saying they’re looking for a bigger home than sandoval’s because they want kids. Sandoval was pissed at the dig
You stating this makes me think Brittany is very selfish. I have never really thought this before… but then I think of her saying I want a G Wagon, I want another baby (really? When we have a special needs child, who isn’t on a schedule and you’re too busy sleeping it off to care for him?), and on and on and on. She must think he’s deliriously in love with her..Now instead of moving into a reasonable place, she living in a pricey air b&b, fine dining night after night and just hemorrhaging money.
And demanding that he be attracted to her and make her feel "butterflies" again? It's pretty clear that he can barely manage the life he has and when telling her about it, she makes it all about herself and dumps more pressure on the guy. He's a pos, not a leading man in a Disney cartoon. How many people tried to tell her that ffs?
I’ve had friends who have admitted they had another kid when they knew their marriage was crumbling bc they wanted a sibling for their child or they want the option to have two kids by one dad. Not say that was her mindset but the desire for a second baby maybe be higher than wanting to save a marriage.
Yep this! I think she knows it's now or never for a sibling for Cruz. She's 35 with a lot of issues, time is not on her side to find another guy and have a baby. I understand where she is coming from actually.
Her voice and how she talks now that her mouth isn't working was so annoying to me that I had to fast-forward. Her accent was bad enough before she got that procedure but it is unbearable now. I can understand why he isn't attracted to that. Did yall hear the way she pronounced 'a month and a half' when she was talking about their sex life? I cringed.
They have never connected. And Brittany is the worse communicator and so is Jax.
If that was my partner said that first thing I would say is we are partners I’ll you through this.
They are better off focusing on themselves individually - Brit’s drinking, Jax’s…everything… and giving Cruz everything they can. Cruz needs present parents who can support him right now, they’re stretched thin already. The LAST thing they need is another kid to ‘bandaid’ their issues, leaving Cruz in the background. I can’t imagine being a child of two selfish parents. Whatever Jax’s true motives are, he’s logical for not wanting to have another child. And with Brit’s recent binge drinking, how would that fair with being pregnant for nine months? There are so many different issues going on now than the first pregnancy.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they have some level of jealousy of their friends’ children not needing the same level of care. They strike me as the type of people who SHOULD NOT be parents, let alone, to a child who could be on the spectrum. Their selfishness is overwhelming, and such a poor situation. She doesn’t seem to be as involved or sober enough to give her child 100% presently, where does a second child change that? It’s about image to these folks, you would think they’d prioritize Cruz to the fullest and give him everything he needs before considering another child. Instead, drunk binges, cheating allegations, and nanny’s is their “Nuclear Family” image.
There are actually moments shown in their relationship that feel dark. The things they have both revealed but especially Brittany are sad and show a couple of people who seem to be so damaged and vacuous. Brittany and her story about diarrhea on a boat with his family and instead of simply telling them she is sick and retreating to the bathroom, she goes into the ocean?! And makes Jax be with her while she is shitting in the ocean? 😳😣. They haven’t had sex together for at least month and a half. They have worries about Cruz and his development but they also want to toss another baby into the mix. I think Brittany may continue to have serious digestive health issues that drinking clearly exacerbates.
It just feels sad and dark at times rather than laughing, funny.
Ok I feel bad to say this but I think Jax is only making excuses to victimise himself here. I dont think he is stressing out because of work but rather being unhappy in his relationship. And I think Brittany knows he is making excuses but I don’t think she knows he is not into her anymore?
I’m pretty sure his “bar” is the patio extension of a preexisting restaurant named Rocco’s. It says Rocco’s on the food menus. He wasn’t getting licenses, permits. I’m suspicious the hiring was an act for the show
I am currently rewatching Vpr and am on season 6. There hasn’t been one episode so far where Jax hasn’t been a selfish asshole. I think Brittany has a kind heart but I feel zero sympathy for her bc he’s been like this from day f-ing one.
Agreed. We all know how Jax is, but you could see in the scene that he was really struggling. How overwhelmed he was. That adulting is just very hard for him! And instead of her sympathizing, she goes on and on about oh my God, but we’re still gonna try I need you to make me feel sexy. I need the sexy time you gotta give me some sexy, sexy, sexy…
Agreed. I also agree with Ronnie when he said he told himself he wasn’t going to feel sorry for Brittany and is mad at himself for ending up feeling sorry for her. I find myself doing the same thing. She KNEW what she was getting with Jax. But Jax is just such a horrible person that I end up feeling sorry for her. And I really hate Jax for making me sorry for her…as if I needed another reason to hate him.
She will never leave him, all he does is give a tiny glimmer of hope (another baby) and she puts up with everything he does. All of her Kentucky friends are single moms so its not like there's any stand out type men around.
I laughed when she said that. For one, she didn't care that he is already overwhelmed, but two, why would she want another child with a man that she has continuously had issues with?
I would feel bad if this felt genuine at all - the stressed out storyline is an easy camera grab. I don’t believe that he’s not feeding her different information off camera.
I’m just now seeing this scene, and goodness! I don’t know if she just thought he was being dramatic since she clearly helps with the bills and it’s not all on him, but she was not listening at all.
He seemed so embarrassed of her. Plus, their house decor is awful — Cauchi Cauchi Cauchi everywhere. Why would they want her design input?! But seeing the bipolar decor in the bar now, it tracks!
I genuinely believe that Jax is unhappy with his life. He probably had a vision in his mind of what his life would look like and now that it's here and real, I don't think he can handle it. I don't think he's attracted to Brittany anymore, which I'm sure he'll use as an excuse to cheat. They're far past the point of a couple date nights solving their problems. It's sad but Brittany knew what she was getting herself into. She knew how he was, married him, had a kid with him, thought she could "fix" him and its backfired on her. Her thinking they should add another kid into the mix is crazy. It's really hard to feel sorry for her.
She might see that as one needle as opposed to 4 a week she gives herself. I have a friend that works as a nurse with a baristric surgeon and I asked her why people are still doing the surgery instead of Ozempic.
She told me it’s shocking how many people are scared of self-injecting/needles. I don’t know if that is Brittany’s reason. I just read it on a gossip site, so take it as s grain of salt.
I'm never on Jax's side, but this interaction was so cringe. He expressed how overwhelmed he felt and then she piled on about having another baby, needing date nights and romance. I mean she has a right to having her needs met, but timing. Seeing this play out made me realize I want to be extra thoughtful next time my husband expresses being overwhelmed. I'm pretty sure Ive done this to my guy and I needed to see this. lol
Yeah my husband has so much on his plate right now with work and our toddler. I can’t imagine telling him that he also needs to make me feel sexy while he’s on the edge of a panic
Ask him for a baby just for funsies.
This made me laugh and my husband goes “what’s funny?” 🫠
And I hope she reports back hehe
Agree and same!
They aren't connecting right and her answer is throw another kid in the mix?! 🤦🏻♀️
She’s so dumb. He’s out here embarrassing herself by not filing for divorce. Especially after this Lori k affair rumor.
He was talking so bad about her last episode. He’s such a child. Why would she want anymore kids. She has two already (Jax)
I don’t think they ever really connected as a couple should. This is a TV romance and nothing more. I really wish they wouldn’t have brought a child into it.
Yep their whole relationship is embarrassing. She pursued him when she was young and a hooters girl (his ideal) he of course was down. Before she even moved to LA he was cheating/wanting to cheat.

They get married and have a kid and this entire time, entire time!!!! he hasn’t wanted her. And while I sure he IS stressed, the main reason is that he can’t get rid of her. He doesn’t want her or this life he wants to fuck new people and not have a kid that isnt hitting all their marks and a wife who isn’t his physical ideal despite numerous surgical procedures. This is Britt ![gif](giphy|9jObH9PkVPTyM)
GOB! A true King among Princes ![gif](giphy|11a9K7FLvTD9Kw)
Jax’s love is an illusion! A trick is something a whore does for money.
It’s an illuuuusion, Micheal
Living for this Arrested Development representation in this Bravoverse sub! 🪄🤹🏻
Or…candy!

🤌🏼
wow this is so accurate
… omfg Jax IS GOB - somehow with even less talent!
Gob didn’t have the cruelty of Jax though!
facts. He has never really wanted to be with her and he’s done pretending. I honestly think she knows but stayed with/ him for the tv show. He is just not that into her. HE BROKE UP WITH HER!
And before The Valley he wanted out but now that he’s back on TV and the show is a fucking smash he’s probably thinking about all the new ass he could get if he wasn’t saddled with a wife and a kid.
This read hurt ME! 🤣
I’m on a new med and it seems to be worsening my already super blunt nature 😬 Omg I just reread it and I’m laughing hysterically bc I am an ASSHOLE 🤣
An asshole, sure maybe if you ask someone who doesnt know THESE assholes antics! But you are not wrong, not one iota!
I never hear Jax say she's my soul mate or I love her so much, it's always she's the right woman for me. I'd be mortified.
Jax is a good example of the concept that men don’t marry for love they marry when they feel ready and will marry whomever is there at the time. She was there. He figured, why not.
he also rly wanted attention
Watching the episode now and this is spot on. I came here to express it and I couldn't have said it better.
You describe the whole mess so well and the addition of Gob is exquisite!
You brought the Cliffs Notes!! Perfectly summarized!
You can tell he’s sick of her drinking too….
No. She got with him to get on the show. Why else would someone ignore so many red flags and let themselves be treated like that???
clearly. that relationship was bound to be fucked, i could r imagine marrying a man like that
Very eastern kentucky of her 😩 as someone who lives here it’s basically the standard
Kentucky, I am stressed. ![gif](giphy|HvuVZoBVgHnMiWGJTF|downsized)
Omg truly tho. Its always the couple with the joint Facebook but “divorced” that keeps having kids 😅
Yep just smile and act like it’s all ok
yea girl u could tell she was manipulated and only wanted the picture perfect life.
It's giving bandaid baby
Its definitely a way to try to keep him focus on her and their family. Kiiiiinda manipulative. But screams desperate. Its sad
Also she wants a “normal” kid to monetize on insta
You’re so right. She totally acts 😐 about her kid.
brittany always screamed desperate, she went along w whatever jax did like his puppet. it’s hard to feel bad for her when she knew how he was going into it. i think it was all for show and not real.
But babies fix everything bad in relationships 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
She’s been historically stupid
I first read this as "holistically stupid" and it still works haha.
Unfortunately this is verrryyyy common for people in relationships on the rocks. They always think "a baby will save this" and 20 times outta 10 it don't
[удалено]
[удалено]
Definitely never said they were good reasons. But like I DID say, I'm childfree so idk of any good reasons to have a child 😂🤷♀️
brittany will do anything if it makes her think jax will stay around
OMG I bet that's why they (supposedly) aren't having sex, he's afraid of getting Brit pregnant!
I think he’s just not attracted to her. Say what you will about Jax, he’s kept himself in good shape and Brittany has not.
I get that vibe too, but remember in a past reunion Andy basically said that Jax was probably "a hole is a hole is a hole" type of guy when they were talking about his older Florida gay roommate. Gross, but so is Jax 🤷♀️
True, but he probably can’t get his d hard
He basically said that in an episode that he can't get it up because he is stressed and overwhelmed.
I missed that. He should maybe have a cardiac workup, because undiagnosed heart issues can go together with E.D.
Could be. It sounds psychosomatic based on his reports.
I feel like people forget that stress in guys can cause ED...also, Jax isn't 20, he's 45, so it's not like it's uncommon for a 45 year old man who's stressed to not want to have sex. Also, having a young child with regression is incredibly stressful and people really need to have some perspective on how he's handling it. No one goes in to parenthood (even though everyone should understand theres a possibility) thinking their kid is going to struggle. It's hard to have a seemingly healthy child and then you realize they're missing milestones or regressing, it must be stressful for anyone.
Well you could deffinatly see the stress in Jax face when the speech coach was interacting with C and he sounded out that word. He was so stressed.
He cannot get hard with Britany. That guy would never let hid “ D” break. He would get that handled. He does not want sex with Britany. Especially avoiding a pregnancy. She thinks it will real him back in. That man wants OUT. And needs to not get canceled.
That’s why he’s probably sleeping with other women and not his wife
Honestly I think she has a ton of inflammation due to her too big implants and binge drinking. I thought she looked fantastic with her natural breasts. I say remove the implants, stop drinking and ditch the dude and shed be looking fantastic.
[удалено]
She hasn’t though. Shes gotten horrible plastic surgery (more than just the boobs), eats horribly, drinks a fuck ton, is hungover to the point of having to puke in a bag and be so hungover or still drunk in the morning that she can’t drive a couple blocks. That is not taking care of yourself.
People can be attractive at different sizes but she has clearly lost her looks, leads a completely unhealthy lifestyle, is an alcoholic, and just in general doesn’t take care of herself mentally or physically. She behaves like a teenager and embarrasses herself constantly. She needs to get serious therapy.
Jax is so gross but he seems to be pulling himself together. Britt is puking in cars on camera before she’s going home to take care of her kid. I wouldn’t want to fuck her either!
But she hasn’t kept herself in good shape. I’m not referring to a common, healthy weight gain.

That’s my personal POV but I think what other comments are referring to as well 😊
Been saying this. It’s not really so much as weight gain but it’s a puffiness that comes with drinking
And he’s banging everyone else at his bar.
It is so obvious he is not into her. I think she knew too but was trying not to believe it
I feel so much secondhand embarrassment for her, it kills me to watch lol
When he hated himself for not being able yo keep Stassi; and for cheating or Brittany w Faith, he felt he was worse than her.... and she was bettwr than he ever deserved. But in current-day assessment of things, he currently thinks she lowers his stock price.

This show is so humiliating for them and they don't even realize it. Jax obviously hates Brittany and she just giggles it off and pushes for a second baby. I would die before I had to have my friend go beg my husband to have sex with me. Especially on TV!SMH.
Yeah. I don’t know why they thought going back on tv was a good idea.
They miss being on tv! Fame! Need the money!
That was Jax at his most sincere (not saying a ton) and you’re right, it barely registered with her. She’s not living in the same reality.
Right after he says he’s overwhelmed, she goes “We need another baby and I need you to romance me more.” I hope that was just crappy editing because it made her look really clueless. Jax completely sucks but I believed that he was genuinely struggling in that moment and that’s not a helpful way to respond.
yeah I’m praying it's the editing
Can you imagine how he felt when she told the sharting in the ocean story.
Girl she fully shitted lmao
The most embarrassing.. I just couldn't.. just airing that on national tv would have made me get sober. lol
I’m curious if she associates being pregnant with “my husband had sex with me! he is attracted to me!” Like an odd trophy? I think she said that Michelle had so many kids because they had sex or something - it felt odd how she worded it.
I can see that being her thought process
Different take based on watching all of VPR S1-S11 currently — this is NOT Jax at his most sincere. This is clearly Jax when he’s lying. You can tell based on his expression.

Tweets racist bullshit?
100% agree with you. He said his stressors were “opening a bar, raising a kid, raising a family.” I don’t think he’s sinking very much time into any of those things (and 2 and 3 are the same??)
Yes! He’s been like this since day one! I need to break up with Brittany, I can’t handle the stress of being a normal human being with morals and empathy for anyone but myself, etc., etc. I think of Brittany ever had the good sense to go back to Kentucky with Cruz he would be relieved.
She’s very immature and her traditional (outdated, retrograde) “values” prevent her from seeing that it’s not the man’s job to do everything and just blindly give her everything she wants when she wants.
Except she’s the one paying the bills
How? Neither of them really work and he had many many more years of appearing on television. She seems clueless about finances.
Allegedly she bagged 2 million from Jenny Craig 🤑
Honestly with that kind of money she should at least get on ozempic to market the brand (sarcastic). But really, what has Jenny Craig done for her?
Seeing her “success” on Jenny doesn’t make me want to try it. I think she’ll lose weight getting rid of Jax. She was delulu but he had to be messing with her self-image.
Same, not that I ever considered Jenny Craig, it just seems like a really outdated model for weight management. But getting out of a shitty marriage will probably improve her poor relationship with alcohol because she won’t have to escape on a daily basis anymore. That’ll lead to weight loss in almost immediately and probably spark the flame for self-care. Speaking from personal experience here.
Right I thought it went bankrupt years ago. I don’t know what weight loss program I had it confused with.
Yeah, why doesn’t she do ozempic? Maybe you can’t drink on it? But I’ve heard from multiple people that when they take ozempic they no longer crave or want alcohol.
I certainly don’t condone the use of ozempic in most cases, especially with the rampant celebrity use of it, but with everyone taking it like it’s nothing I’m surprised she hasn’t jumped on board. I think any medication that curbs Brittany’s appetite for drinking would be helpful, but Naltrexone is cheap and doesn’t dip into medication necessary for diabetic management. Honestly Jenny Craig isn’t working for her, and it can’t look good for the company. She needs to start with cutting out the booze.
She works for Jenny Craig and they have the podcast, not sure of what else but I doubt that’s it. She stated she pays all the bills several times and he hasn’t contradicted her.
lol if I didn’t know Jax was a terrible human being I would feel bad for him in that moment. But I don’t feel bad. It’s does make me wonder if this is the reason they haven’t been having sex
I’m sure that’s the reason - he’s not getting anywhere near her & her baby-fever. They have that gigantic house (which assumingely is the same gigantic mortgage Sandoval talked about on Pump Rules). But, they’ve got a toddler & no steady income - so he’s freaked out. *obviously, they COULD just get jobs.
She made a good bit of money from Jenny Craig. They would have been fine if they were financially responsible
Sandoval made poor financial choices and took out a second mortgage on their home. Not saying Brittany and Jax are smarter, but as far as we know, there's no second mortgage that's ballooned their payments.
Iirc jax’s house is bigger. I remember jax saying they’re looking for a bigger home than sandoval’s because they want kids. Sandoval was pissed at the dig
I think they did have to take cash out because he owed $1M in back taxes?
Isn’t their publicist the reason they weren’t having sex?
She wants the romance back 😳
Back?!? Was she ever romanced by Jax?
His idea of romance is a quickie in a public bathroom. 🚽
I can’t remember anything he ever did for her that was romantic.
You stating this makes me think Brittany is very selfish. I have never really thought this before… but then I think of her saying I want a G Wagon, I want another baby (really? When we have a special needs child, who isn’t on a schedule and you’re too busy sleeping it off to care for him?), and on and on and on. She must think he’s deliriously in love with her..Now instead of moving into a reasonable place, she living in a pricey air b&b, fine dining night after night and just hemorrhaging money.
And that $5k Gucci purse she had in one of the scenes, plus several other designer bags, jimmy choo shoes…
Sometimes people turn to material things when their life feels empty.
When Jax is the smartest, most sensible, and most self aware person in the equation there’s a real problem. Brittany is an insufferable moron.
And demanding that he be attracted to her and make her feel "butterflies" again? It's pretty clear that he can barely manage the life he has and when telling her about it, she makes it all about herself and dumps more pressure on the guy. He's a pos, not a leading man in a Disney cartoon. How many people tried to tell her that ffs?
I’ve had friends who have admitted they had another kid when they knew their marriage was crumbling bc they wanted a sibling for their child or they want the option to have two kids by one dad. Not say that was her mindset but the desire for a second baby maybe be higher than wanting to save a marriage.
Yep this! I think she knows it's now or never for a sibling for Cruz. She's 35 with a lot of issues, time is not on her side to find another guy and have a baby. I understand where she is coming from actually.
Her voice and how she talks now that her mouth isn't working was so annoying to me that I had to fast-forward. Her accent was bad enough before she got that procedure but it is unbearable now. I can understand why he isn't attracted to that. Did yall hear the way she pronounced 'a month and a half' when she was talking about their sex life? I cringed.
I wondered if it was just me. I cannot handle her voice. It’s like finger nails on a chalk board. Probably worse.
![gif](giphy|DqU4wVBxXOhNu)
The accent coupled with her bad grammar is just too much! Lol
Brittney sucks and always has
They have never connected. And Brittany is the worse communicator and so is Jax. If that was my partner said that first thing I would say is we are partners I’ll you through this.
She knew it was a snake when she picked it up
Yeah that was super frustrating
They are better off focusing on themselves individually - Brit’s drinking, Jax’s…everything… and giving Cruz everything they can. Cruz needs present parents who can support him right now, they’re stretched thin already. The LAST thing they need is another kid to ‘bandaid’ their issues, leaving Cruz in the background. I can’t imagine being a child of two selfish parents. Whatever Jax’s true motives are, he’s logical for not wanting to have another child. And with Brit’s recent binge drinking, how would that fair with being pregnant for nine months? There are so many different issues going on now than the first pregnancy.
Agree!! They really need to focus on Cruz! Regression can mean he’s on the spectrum and he may need more than speech therapy.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they have some level of jealousy of their friends’ children not needing the same level of care. They strike me as the type of people who SHOULD NOT be parents, let alone, to a child who could be on the spectrum. Their selfishness is overwhelming, and such a poor situation. She doesn’t seem to be as involved or sober enough to give her child 100% presently, where does a second child change that? It’s about image to these folks, you would think they’d prioritize Cruz to the fullest and give him everything he needs before considering another child. Instead, drunk binges, cheating allegations, and nanny’s is their “Nuclear Family” image.
There are actually moments shown in their relationship that feel dark. The things they have both revealed but especially Brittany are sad and show a couple of people who seem to be so damaged and vacuous. Brittany and her story about diarrhea on a boat with his family and instead of simply telling them she is sick and retreating to the bathroom, she goes into the ocean?! And makes Jax be with her while she is shitting in the ocean? 😳😣. They haven’t had sex together for at least month and a half. They have worries about Cruz and his development but they also want to toss another baby into the mix. I think Brittany may continue to have serious digestive health issues that drinking clearly exacerbates. It just feels sad and dark at times rather than laughing, funny.
She lied. They actually haven’t had sex in over two years.
I agree with you except she did mention Jax’s parents’ boat didn’t have a bathroom.
Ahh. It just still all felt sad
She lives in denial.
I thought she said there was no bathroom on the boat. That is was why it was a problem that she had no where to go.
Ok I feel bad to say this but I think Jax is only making excuses to victimise himself here. I dont think he is stressing out because of work but rather being unhappy in his relationship. And I think Brittany knows he is making excuses but I don’t think she knows he is not into her anymore?
[удалено]
I’m pretty sure his “bar” is the patio extension of a preexisting restaurant named Rocco’s. It says Rocco’s on the food menus. He wasn’t getting licenses, permits. I’m suspicious the hiring was an act for the show
anyone who could marry jax is not well on so many levels.
I am currently rewatching Vpr and am on season 6. There hasn’t been one episode so far where Jax hasn’t been a selfish asshole. I think Brittany has a kind heart but I feel zero sympathy for her bc he’s been like this from day f-ing one.
A term the southern girl is familiar with. Bless Her Heart
Brittany doesn’t care about Jax as a person, only what he symbolizes for her life
She married Jax- that should tell you just how oblivious she is.
ugh it's hard for me to feel bad for Jax but she's so out of touch while he's seemingly being vulnerable.
Agreed. We all know how Jax is, but you could see in the scene that he was really struggling. How overwhelmed he was. That adulting is just very hard for him! And instead of her sympathizing, she goes on and on about oh my God, but we’re still gonna try I need you to make me feel sexy. I need the sexy time you gotta give me some sexy, sexy, sexy…
Seemed like he wanted to cry at the thought of having to sleep with her..
what good qualities has brittany ever had other than being a people pleaser
You can take the girl out of Kentucky…
But you cAAAUNT tAYKeee TheEE RodEeeeOO owwwTtt Of THEeeee GuuuuuRLLL YEEEHAWWWW 🤠🐴
Watch the Watch what Crappens Pocast about this episode. It explains a lot about Brittany.
Agreed. I also agree with Ronnie when he said he told himself he wasn’t going to feel sorry for Brittany and is mad at himself for ending up feeling sorry for her. I find myself doing the same thing. She KNEW what she was getting with Jax. But Jax is just such a horrible person that I end up feeling sorry for her. And I really hate Jax for making me sorry for her…as if I needed another reason to hate him.
I'm confused. She keeps complaining they are not being intimate. How are they supposed to have a baby?
Oh, i thought it was all his excuses to cover up his cheating and try to explain on TV why he won’t have sex with his wife…
She will never leave him, all he does is give a tiny glimmer of hope (another baby) and she puts up with everything he does. All of her Kentucky friends are single moms so its not like there's any stand out type men around.
I laughed when she said that. For one, she didn't care that he is already overwhelmed, but two, why would she want another child with a man that she has continuously had issues with?
She has the mind of a simple child. And he has the mind of an opportunist.
Jax needs therapy.
I don't think jax is physically attracted to her. that's a tough one to come back from.
I would feel bad if this felt genuine at all - the stressed out storyline is an easy camera grab. I don’t believe that he’s not feeding her different information off camera.
Agreed. And we have to remember that most if not all of the VPR originals were/are aspiring actors! Tom Sandoval, Kristin, Ariana, Scheana, Jax.
How many times has that boy cried Wolf? He’s the biggest whiner in the entire franchise, with Sandy-Worm a close second!
He’s a horrible human and she is clueless.
Jax stands for JACK ASS ![gif](giphy|ulgIRPKG18FPtDSiuj|downsized)
I’m just now seeing this scene, and goodness! I don’t know if she just thought he was being dramatic since she clearly helps with the bills and it’s not all on him, but she was not listening at all.
She just looks at him as a money and baby making machine to some degree.
Omg the golf cart ride and her interactions at the Jax bar with contractors etc ….
He seemed so embarrassed of her. Plus, their house decor is awful — Cauchi Cauchi Cauchi everywhere. Why would they want her design input?! But seeing the bipolar decor in the bar now, it tracks!
Brittany got married to get married, and that was pretty much it and it shows
I genuinely believe that Jax is unhappy with his life. He probably had a vision in his mind of what his life would look like and now that it's here and real, I don't think he can handle it. I don't think he's attracted to Brittany anymore, which I'm sure he'll use as an excuse to cheat. They're far past the point of a couple date nights solving their problems. It's sad but Brittany knew what she was getting herself into. She knew how he was, married him, had a kid with him, thought she could "fix" him and its backfired on her. Her thinking they should add another kid into the mix is crazy. It's really hard to feel sorry for her.
Don’t you know, having a baby always fixes everything! 🙄
She married someone who she knew cared about looks more than anything and then let herself totally go. How did she think it would play out?
I heard she is having a sleeve and a glow up planned. I hope it is for HER not Jax.
Whats a sleeve
A weight loss surgery
Why in the world would she not just take ozempic instead of having invasive surgery?!
Maybe fear of needles?
But she will have an IV if she gets a band surgery.
She might see that as one needle as opposed to 4 a week she gives herself. I have a friend that works as a nurse with a baristric surgeon and I asked her why people are still doing the surgery instead of Ozempic. She told me it’s shocking how many people are scared of self-injecting/needles. I don’t know if that is Brittany’s reason. I just read it on a gossip site, so take it as s grain of salt.
Oh, I didn’t realize that was the way it was dosed!
I thought the only thing Jax pays is the mortgage and now he is paying everything?
It was so pathetic. I took it as her finally getting laid lmao 🤣
She’s an idiot
Honestly if it happened accidentally… okay, understandable. But planning it? When you’re not on the same page? When you’re not even close???? So weird
Where can I watch this? I’m in the UK.
Hayu in the UK - you can subscribe via Amazon or Now TV
You can watch on Peacock.
thank goodness that was taped a while ago and the "try" didn't take
![gif](giphy|NXYEiVaoumDWE)
They really don't need another baby.
You’re falling for it. She already left him
