3 articles · Updated · Just Jared · Aug 28

Summary

  • A Los Angeles judge granted Brittany Cartwright a temporary protective order requiring Jax Taylor to stay 100 yards away after she accused him of domestic violence.
  • Court filings say Cartwright alleged nearly a decade of coercive control, financial abuse, emotional and psychological abuse, gaslighting and physical violence, including a threat to “gut” her and an alleged attack.
  • The judge denied her request for sole custody of their 5-year-old son, Cruz, pending a later hearing.
  • The filing escalates a divorce case Cartwright started in August 2024; although the pair finalized a joint legal and physical custody agreement in March 2026, they are not yet divorced.
