Stunning Comeback: Brittany Cartwright Wears Short Green Dress Amid Ex-Husband Jax Taylor’s Shocking ‘Hookup’ Comments — Fans React
In a move that turned heads and ignited social-media chatter, Brittany Cartwright stepped out recently in a striking short green dress — just as her ex-husband Jax Taylor’s explosive claims about their post-split “hookups” resurfaced in public.
The timing added new fuel to a drama that has kept fans riveted ever since the couple’s separation.
🌟 A Fashion Statement with Timing
Cartwright’s recent appearance in a short, fitted green dress — an outfit that accentuated her curves and confidence — drew immediate attention. The ensemble seemed to echo the so-called “revenge dress” energy: bold, unapologetic, and loaded with meaning.
It harked back to a previous moment when she wore a lime-green cutout dress with the caption “Out with the old, in with the new” just before formally filing for divorce.
To many fans, the dress symbolized more than just style — it was a statement, a reclaiming of her identity at a time when her personal life had been under the spotlight.
🔥 Enter the “Hookup” Controversy
The dramatic outfit was unveiled against the backdrop of shocking remarks from Jax Taylor, who claimed in a podcast that Brittany had reached out to him after their separation, inviting him over for drinks and intimacy.
He alleged she asked to “hook up,” comments that stoked intense debate among their audience.
Cartwright was quick to respond via social media, clarifying that she had only attempted to explore a friendship with him for the sake of co-parenting their son. She emphasized that the notion of rekindling anything romantic was off the table.
“I was trying to see if we can be friends for our son — and obviously, we CAN’T,” she wrote.
In further statements, she described the relationship as over, pointing out that any ambiguous communication stemmed from co-parenting logistics and not a desire to reignite romance.
💔 Context: A Rocky Relationship and Divorce
The drama is rooted in a long and turbulent history. Brittany and Jax met in 2015 and were married in 2019, sharing a son, Cruz. Their story was played out across reality-TV shows including Vanderpump Rules and The Valley.
By early 2024, after years of ups and downs, the couple announced their separation. In August that year, Brittany filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences and requesting primary custody of Cruz.
Since then, their relationship has been marred by conflicting narratives. According to Jax, their problems stemmed from her alleged infidelity — he claimed she slept with one of his friends during their separation.
Brittany, however, defended her actions. She clarified that the hookup was unplanned and was not a targeted attempt to hurt Jax — but rather part of her process to heal and move on. “He never cared about how he hurt my feelings for years,” she said.
🧠 What Fans Are Saying
Unsurprisingly, the internet exploded with commentary immediately following Brittany’s green-dress appearance. For many, the timing felt symbolic — like a bold reclamation of her self. Comments ranged from admiration for her confidence to support for her decision to break away from a toxic relationship.
Others weighed in on the “hookup” allegations — some siding with Jax, others defending Brittany’s right to move forward. But the overwhelming tone among her supporters seemed to be one of solidarity: a recognition that this is a woman trying to rebuild herself on her own terms.
🎯 What It Means Going Forward
Brittany Cartwright’s fashion statement isn’t just about glamour — it’s a declaration. A declaration that she’s exiting a chapter, reclaiming her identity, and refusing to be defined by the toxic shadows of her past. In light of Jax Taylor’s public claims, it’s also a demonstration of strength.
Whether you see the green dress as a “revenge statement,” a newfound confidence, or simply a bold night out — one thing is clear: Brittany is stepping into her next chapter unafraid of being seen.

her divorce from Jax Taylor — bared her legs in the thigh-grazing number, who boasted long sleeves and an off-the-shoulder collar.
The mother-of-one, who shares three-year-old son Cruz with Taylor, looked glamorous in a full face of makeup and oversize black sunglasses.
She carried a dark-colored designer handbag and rounded out her look with a pair of white and brown sneakers.
It comes shortly after Jax claimed that Brittany still reaches out to him wanting to ‘hook up.’
Jax appeared on Bravo’s Hot Mic podcast and intimated that she hasn’t been fully honest about her desire to move on from their relationship.

He complained that his ex ‘publicly humiliates [him] and calls [him] every name in the book,’ but later initiates contact.
Jax claimed that Brittany called him as recently as two days prior to say: ‘Come over. You want to have some drinks? Come over. You want to hook up?’
He also alleged that his estranged wife added: ‘Don’t tell anyone that I’m doing this.’
‘People don’t know that,’ he continued, adding that she ‘talks all this s***.’
Jax claimed he didn’t want to ‘blow her cover,’ despite airing their alleged private conversation.
Brittany later shared her side of the story, leaving a comment on a clip of the interview that was shared to Instagram.
‘Let me make this clear I was trying to see if we can be friends for our son and obviously we CANT,’ she wrote.
Elsewhere in the podcast appearance Jax owned up to being ‘verbally abusive’ to Brittany before he checked himself into an in-patient treatment facility for mental health issues earlier this year.

However, Cartwright was also recently a guest on the Hot Mic podcast and claimed at the time that her former partner did not change ‘at all in those 30 days’ that he was in treatment.
‘I think she really wants to see me fail,’ Jax shared in response. ‘I think she wants to prove everyone right and, to be honest, I’ve done nothing wrong since I’ve been out. I’ve been overly nice to her.’
The two also remember the end of their marriage differently.
Taylor says it was his wife’s decision to end the marriage, and by contrast, Brittany believes he ended the relationship.
She has also expressed feeling ‘relieved’ that the two are no longer together.
