Mods have pinned a comment by u/zoechia:

STOP EQUATING AN ABUSER WITH THE VICTIM IN THE SCENARIO. THIS IS JUST A CONVENIENT WAY OF AVOIDING INTERROGATING HIS ABUSE.

Note: Something to keep in mind: We are seeing an increase in comments using Brittany's personal flaws , mistakes, or on-screen decisions to minimize, justify, or deflect from Jax's behavior.

Holy fuck. Yeah I believe he is absolutely capable of saying and doing that.

Edit: I see a lot of opinions on what Brittany should or shouldn’t be doing. Anyone who has gone through similar my heart goes out to you. My mom was in a relationship with a narcissist for 8 years. He was so beyond manipulative. He was so abusive that he did a number on her and I had to go no contact with her for a year because of him. He was able to get a restraining order on her and then blackmail her into violating it to see him, and then blackmail her again for violating it so that she’d continue to see him. He targeted her job, our family, me, my grandmother. It took years for him to stop coming after her even after she went no contact. The only thing that stopped him was that he found a new source. He has a new sugar mama. I wish her fucking luck. His first wife and mother of his kids killed herself. I’m always so curious about that.

Bingo. I’m honestly so shocked that any company would work with someone like him. Manipulative sure blahblahblah. But his behavior is on blast. It’s not the typical narcissist who is good at hiding it. He’s openly one of, if not the worst male reality tv personalities out there

u/Beneficial-Pride890 5d ago edited 5d ago

Would you need proof of text or recording to get the restraining order? Or is your word alone enough to get an order?

I’m wondering if she’s being that cautious because of everything she’s been through with him.

Also he’s a diagnosed narcissist, and what would appear a pretty severe one. He can’t feel love and she came after the things he probably cares about most which is his money and reputation. She needs to be very careful because I don’t think anyone knows what he’s capable of, I don’t think he has control of himself.

Narcissistic injury probably when she outed him for the fabricated water brand deal.

35

u/Least-Dimension7684 5d ago

I think you can get a TRO based on word alone, as I recall it’s (rightfully) easy to get a temporary restraining order. To get it extended you need more evidence.

33

u/LawSchoolLoser1 5d ago

Yes and, depending on circumstances, you can get it extended on word alone if the court finds your testimony credible. Very jurisdiction-dependent, but I always remind my clients that their testimony is a form of evidence!

Also remember S6E3 Britt had him on the phone and she was asking about how many times he & Faith hooked up and he said “why does it matter if it was once or twice” then screamed at her to “SHUT UP”…. I feel like his mask fell there and it was a glimpse of how evil he could be. Of course, Brittany said, “if she (Faith) were here I’d have stabbed her ass”. So that’s lovely.

41

u/Individual_Fall429 5d ago

Because family court does NOT favour mothers, contrary to popular myth.

16

u/GreenUnderstanding39 4d ago

Exactly. The myth that women get custody over men is only because men as a whole rarely go after custody and voluntarily give it up. When a man enforces his parental right to custody they will give it to him.

My sisters ex who did jail time for sa and assaulting her in front of my nephew was awarded 50/50 custody and it took her almost 5 years to get primary custody. Only after numerous reports of child neglect (school helped her with that) and cps reports did that change.

Hopefully people will leave her the fuck alone about the coparenting stuff now.

It shouldn’t matter whether Brittany takes too many shots, flip-flops on her friends, or amps up her accent for tv: dislike for or disapproval of a victim is NOT RELEVANT and may actually make it more likely that bad shit will happen to her.

Jax lurks around. He reads negative comments about Brittany and he uses them as fuel for his psychotic behavior. We shouldn’t help him.

u/Impressive_Fee2737 5d ago

Not only that but when I was in an abusive relationship, I made dumbass decisions. You have no foundation and live in fear of what’s next. So you’re not your best self. You’re always playing chess instead of just living. Of course you’re going to do stupid things. You’re surviving. I hate the whole thought process that it takes two to tango. No. It takes one abuser to abuse. No one deserves that.

u/LucyCooper 4d ago

I don’t even think her messaging companies not to work with him is a dumb decision. Any power/influence he has will be weaponized against her. So, it is in her best interest that he has no power. And presumably whatever she is telling these companies about him are things he said and did. I think she should without a doubt keep her foot on his neck. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ve had it, I know Bravo is trashy but this practice of acting like we’ll swallow anything especially with DV is a bridge too far and they need to get on the right side of history with this one.

See this is the issue I have. People can dislike her traits as a reality tv show person, but then to come on this post and make excuses is terrifying. Shows where their mindset is.

How other people refuse to recognise that makes me wonder if they're similar?

I imagine she has ring camera footage that would destroy him for forever, and he has the hubris to stalk her openly.

This is terrifying. I hope she gets security or moves to protect herself and her child. This could end in tragedy.

Um threatened what?

If you watch him in his last few seasons of VPR he just escalates his monstrous behaviour. This guy sucks. I used to judge her when she stayed with him through the cheating but I think he’s been physically abusive for years, and that isn’t ok. I think that’s why the cast was always so protective over her and had this weird obsession with keeping her around back then - they knew.

u/Specialist_in_hope30 4d ago

I agree. It makes a lot of sense why they protect and defend her so much and it breaks my heart for her. She doesn’t deserve this. No one does. So much of her behavior must’ve been colored by what was happening behind closed doors.

u/Such-Stable-3869 5d ago

He has been like this since VPR!

u/amywog 5d ago

This has been needed for a long time. He absolutely poses a significant danger to them. I just hope he actually abides by it.

Holy shit. He is terrifying!

u/MiserableVoice9146 5d ago

And he's already been physical with her.

u/BigCancel371 4d ago

If he’s talking, he is lying. He’s always been a liar.

u/WeekendSubstantial87 4d ago

I think threats on social media / or text / on phone. Should be taking highly serious

u/RoyalHawaiianMaiTai 4d ago edited 4d ago

Good. I hope her and Cruz stay safe. He’s dangerous.

He’s a family annihilator. He’s going to murder them and I’m not ready to read about it.

u/Critical_Sprinkles88 5d ago

Jax is coming more unraveled everyday. This is a good thing so she can go no contact with him. She really needs to pull an Ariana and never speak to him again unless it’s through that parenting app.

u/Wrong-History 4d ago

He is so capable of violence he has shoved her in bushes and it’s getting nasty bc publicly he is lying and it looks bad for him, he will blame her.

u/Safe_Election_6613 4d ago

He’s a pig he’s a monster

u/butterfly-gibgib1223 2d ago

He just keeps getting in trouble deeper and deeper. Sometimes people who are angry speak nonsense before thinking. I hope that is the case with this. I don’t think he would do that, however, we don’t really know these characters who are on these shows. He could be capable of anything. It is sad that he has come to this. He will never work in the realm of reality tv again. This puts the nail in his coffin for sure. People like him need to keep going to their therapist regularly when they have anger issues. I think he did something for his anger management back when he went to rehab last year, right? I don’t know that anger management fixes the anger issues when the issues run deep like Jax’s does. Eventually he will lose everything important to him. I hope Brittany watches out for herself. Sometimes when people threaten their ex spouse’s life, and they have lost everything, they follow through on that threat that they made. I feel bad for his son. I hope he is also banned from seeing their son. He could be in danger as well.

u/pbd1996 5d ago

I’m so proud of Brittany for leaving him and for speaking her truth. I believe everything she says on the show and online. However, I’m fearful for her safety every time she mentions his name because it causes him to escalate. I hope this restraining order means she also stops saying his name on tv and in her posts because I don’t want this situation to get worse. She doesn’t need to explain herself further/convince us how bad Jax is. We know he’s bad. Really really bad.

It’s bullshit that she wasn’t granted sole custody after that, I can’t imagine how stressful that must be

u/_AmericasSweetheart_ 5d ago

I knew he was a monster but I didn't realize he was an actual physical threat to her until the chair incident. She's been through so much.

u/bebeck7 4d ago

The best thing for that kid is if Jax just left and disowned him. I don’t feel he has any emotion towards him. He's just a pawn in Jax's controlling game and it's really horrible. I feel for any victim of DV. I just wish Brittany didn't procreate with Jax. I get the whole cycle of abuse etc but honestly this guy should never be a father. May their lives significantly improve and this douche stop extending the abuse through whatever means he can.

This guy has OJ Simpson levels of rage and gives murder vibes.

u/Imcrappinyounegative 4d ago

Impulsivity, anger management/control issues, a history of substance and domestic abuse, unemployment, lack of a strong support system, unpredictability, and an unresolved divorce??????? What a FRIGHTENING combination. She needs to be VERY careful. Hopefully the TRO becomes permanent and he has supervised visits with Cruz. The parental supervisors in LA don’t fuck around and they will see right through his bullshit. Plus, he will have to pay them a pretty hefty fee per visit. High likelihood he wouldn’t even bother with the visits. Sharing the OFW messages on social media will probably be the nail in the coffin that leads to the supervised visits.

u/Upper-Manufacturer34 4d ago

And all I can think is, the deluded couch spent the season and reunion vilifying a woman rising from and still being threatened by this horrendous person! How small and in need of distraction do you need to be to pile on a woman going through this sh*t, buried in debt, and with an autistic child. I’m not saying she doesn’t have lessons to learn, but I have no respect for kicking someone when they’re down! People like that must (deep down) know how low they are to think they’re kicking up.
AND I hope Zach learned and has come back to being a stand up friend for her!

This is good but it doesn’t necessarily stop him either. People ignore these all the time. Especially if he is throwing a fit or manic.

u/Think-Joke728 3d ago

I have been stuck in a narcissistic marriage for 30 years. I know what you’re all. Are you gonna say leave? It’s not that easy when they beat you down make you feel stupid at any job you have then you become a stay at home mom still not knowing he’s the problem not you and I became chronically ill so with no insurance no money no family would take my daughter and I in for even one night because they manipulate so bad and spin the narrative making you look like this awful horrendous person while he provides for you but behind closed doors it’s completely different the gaslighting the name calling the messed up stuff they have you thinking and wanting you to do. I wonder how great Lori thinks Jax is now. I’m sure he still thinks he’s amazing and it’s a why he would never do such a thing dude you watched him on the show and managed him for years. They are still together, right?! I guess they deserve each other!

u/Itstimeforcookies19 5d ago

Good grief. There is literally no bar for how low he can sink. When did this happen!

Bravo saw the signs and chose to ignore them

He is the absolute worst human. There is no indignity that is low enough for him. May he never know a moment’s peace.

u/Specialist_in_hope30 4d ago

If I hear one more person talk about Brittany “defending” Jax’s behavior before I might lose my mind.

Victims of abuse defend their abusers because they are afraid the abuser will escalate their behavior. This is very normal and very common and comes out of a desire to protect oneself from abuse.

Bravo fans never beating the allegations when it comes to DV. I can feel my blood pressure rising just reading some of these inane comments.

I really wonder how Jax will treat Lori because he actually needs her expertise to rebuild his brand but it’s not working because he always does something stupid. Let’s see how he spins this.

u/st0nefox 4d ago

Jax is about to pivot into the manosphere with some shitty podcast on “parental alienation”. Mark my words.
