Overview
- Jax Taylor filed for a restraining order on Sept. 1 asking a judge to bar Brittany Cartwright from contacting him and to stay 100 yards away, according to court paperwork obtained by multiple outlets.
- In his petition, Taylor alleges Cartwright contacted potential employers to derail opportunities, saying her actions cost him a claimed $175,000 role on Fox’s Special Forces and damaged other deals.
- Taylor also accuses Cartwright of calling him abusive names, being negligent in the care of their 5‑year‑old autistic son, and interfering with his ability to work, while offering his own evidence of sobriety and therapy.
- Cartwright previously secured a temporary restraining order against Taylor that suspended his visitation; both sides have exchanged texts and public posts that are cited in filings but many claims remain unverified.
- The family court will weigh competing evidence at a coming hearing, with potential outcomes that could change custody, visitation rules about new partners around their son, and each parent’s public and professional standing.
