Brittany and Jax had separated. At one point, they agreed to try to work on their marriage and possibly reconcile. In the meantime, Jax found some messages his wife had been exchanging with another man, including a “sexy video.” That’s when, according to Brit, “All hell broke loose.” But Jax had been hooking up with other women according to Brittany.

First aired on 4/15/2025.

Bravo's like a broken record. Every damn show now starts by teasing some big dramatic event & uses the season to lead up to it. Yawn. 

Literally, yawn. I was so bored, I flipped over to the end of Coal Miner's Daughter during a commercial & completely forgot what I was watching. 

I wish Janet had stayed with the blond hair, I can't tell her apart from Michelle & the other one. Much like the two short guys who look alike. I just know one's often angry while other tells a lot of Dad jokes.

I mean, to be fair, it’s not a tease for a big season finale cliffhanger. It was just “one week earlier,” lol. All this happens with Jax within a week? Or maybe he didn’t stay in rehab very long once he realized he needed to follow rules and, you know, stay sober…and not allow TV cameras due to HIPAA laws…

i kind of forgot everyone’s names… The couple with the “three under three.” The  way the wife can convince her husband to have more children is the bragging rights of being able to say “six under six.” The man lit up even being able to hypothetically say “four under four.” I was kind of hoping he would let up on this, but the man has a catch phrase. He was some type of child star, I think, so I wonder whether he had a show catchphrase, like Urkel. What is he going to do with himself once these kids outgrow the toddler phase? “Three under 12” doesn’t have the same panache. 

Which separated couple is going to have the best storyline? I’m thinking not Jax and Brittany. Again, I forgot names. I kind of love that she’s parading around her boyfriend who she likely was cheating with, and now instead of shunning Kristin because she knows all the wife’s secrets, now they’re both trying to win Kristin over…because she knows all the wife’s secrets.

I learned some interesting stuff watching the After Show.

Julian would hang out with Jax and the guys and sometimes the whole group, mostly to let someone else pick up the tab.

Lala dated Julian before. Brittany did not immediately tell Lala that Brittany had started dating Julian. Julian love-bombs. He was living with his Baby Mama and their children while dating Brittany. Brittany even met his children.

I was disgusted that Jax kept referring to the family home as 'HIS home' while Britney was forced to live in rentals or air bnbs. Jax knows his son's needs, yet still managed to put himself ahead of everybody else. He's one of the worst narcissists I've seen.

If Britney had to threaten him with a restraining order that tells me that he's becoming more physically aggressive and intimidating. No child should have to listen to Jax Taylor rage.

I’m glad the show is back. I always figured Jax was 10 times the douche in real life as he is on the show. I guess Brittany is too. 
How proud Jesse must be to announce that he’s not doing a good job coparenting. 
I still like Danny and Nia but agree they need a bigger place. 
 

Why do you say that about Brittany?  Did I miss something?

Brittany got a restraining order on Jax according to the previews. The arrogant asshole called the family home "his" house. He refused to leave, so Brittany had to instead. I wonder why she didn't move to a house/condo in the same neighborhood (she is in Sherman Oaks). She is not that great either. She hooked up with a friend of theirs who I have no doubt did it in order to be on the show. The nice girl from Kentucky doesn't exist anymore (if it ever did).

I don't like Janet who is aware of her new (D list) celebrity status (and is a drama queen). One of them said in the previews that Jason, her husband (who is probably the most likeable, and attractive of the cast) removes his ring when he goes out. I'm sure he receives tons of DMs.

I don't particularly like Jessie either. He is arrogant like Jax, and he wants to bother Michelle, his soon to be ex wife (who is not likeable either) in any possible way. He even said their daughter, Isabella looks and acts like him, and this would bother Michelle. He also remained in their family house. He claims that Michelle was cheating during the marriage, but he doesn't seem to be perfect himself either. 

Mia is beautiful, but what is wrong with her? She wants to have another child? The husband is not attractive, and judging by last season (toward the end), he is not as nice as he pretends to be. 

So, Kristen thinks she came up fine although her mother presumably drank/smoked during her pregnancy? Really? Her boyfriend told her it would be better to stop drinking (and smoking- we know she smokes), if she wanted to get pregnant easier. 

Kristen and Brittany are unrecognizable compared to how they looked a few years ago- Bravo was airing more recent seasons again.

It will be a glorious train wreck according to the season previews. Almost no couple is "safe." It seems more footage is added with every new promo.

I certainly hope that there's not gonna be an emotional dog pile on Brittany from the fans just because she finally entertained a man other than Jax. Of the ten years she spent with him he cheated every single year and yet the fans are outraged because she slept with someone who lovebombed her.

Sexting a married man who’s also a friend of theirs.

I’m not going to pile on. I thinks she’s been through a lot with the abusive asshole that is Jax. I do think she could pick a guy outside of their friend group.

I still stand by my opinion that she dated Jax for the ‘fame’ - even though she claimed to not have seen VPR, her mom did and seemed at the time to still approve of their relationship even while knowing the kind of garbage person he is.  Weird family, though at least her dad disapproved.  Jax humiliated her again and again and she’d go right back to him.  I guess she really wanted that Kentucky castle wedding (ew).  Still, she does not deserve all the abuse she has put up with over the years, and it’s sad that she waited this long to leave him, that poor child Cruz has probably seen some scary things 😔 For real, Jax needs to be fired and exiled to obscurity.  Why does Bravo keep giving second (and third, and fourth) chances to problematic men?

None of these people, sans Kristen maybe, are as interesting as think they are. 

I love Kristin 😂 she’s messy but like a fun messy.  In fact I didn’t even like Ariana much until she and Kristin started getting along and developed a beautifully bizarre friendship that should have gotten a lot more screen time.

Every gd week!  Whatchu talking about?  He is total trash!  Shoplifts with impunity, clogs a toilet that six folks are reliant on…

 

feeds his friends food he rubbed on his genitals…

 

I mean… I hesitate to call folks by animal names, but

Britney dumb as a post but sees the main chance.  She was very beautiful in the day.  These girls need to dress their age.

Brittany talked about, as a child, always wanting to get married, what the venue would be, and I remember even in a talking head, having a bridal Barbie or something but never picturing the groom. 

She wanted to get married, and Jax happened to be standing at the altar.

Omg yes I remember that now, and she mentioned the Kentucky castle even then - it was spelled ‘Versailles’ but pronounced Ver-sales 😬 Klassy.

Same thing happened in my hometown. It was always Ver-sales Ave. 

I live in SW Ohio in a larger city, but right over the border in Indiana are Milan (pronounced My-lan), and Versailles (pronounced Ver-Sales). 

Brittany's aw shucks act always came off as fake to me, and her recent decision making as far as who to date proves she has not learned a thing, but I am rooting for her to get out of this abusive mess with Jax without any further trauma to her or her son. Jax is truly awful and will never change. Sobriety doesn't make you an entirely different person and he is a total narcissist.

Unfortunately, I think that this is more common than you’d hope.

There’s an old season of VPR on today. Jax was torturing Stassi back then. 
I have to say if any of Brittany’s family had seen any of his antics, they should have stopped her from marrying the idiot. I don’t see how she’s going to coparent with this nut job. He won’t leave her life unless the show ends. Best thing for her son would be for his mom to go solo or to get a great stepdad in the future.
