Jax Taylor is finally ‘fessing up to some bad behavior.
But as usual, he’s partislly blaming it on someone else.
As you’re probably aware, Jax’s divorce from Brittany Cartwright has been even messier than expected.
Most of the blame lies on Jax’s shoulders, of course.
These days Taylor is newly sober, and as he makes his way through the 12 Steps, he’s kind of, sort of taking some responsibility.
But he’s also blaming Brittany for triggering his bad behavior.
Jax Taylor says he exploded after learning of Brittany Cartwright’s hookup
As we previously reported, Brittany hooked up with one of Jax’s friends during one of their separations.
And even though he’s cheated on her many, many times over the course of their relationship, he says he flew into a tantrum when he learned the news.
That revelation comes courtesy of Jax’s appearance on a podcast hosted by addiction and recovery specialist Richard Taite.
Taylor revealed that he smashed furniture when Brittany told him of her fling.
“How could this be happening to me? I’m Jax Taylor?” Jax recalled thinking.
Jax says he now blames the incident on himself (as he should!), and he even hinted that Brittany might be on the verge of giving him another chance.
Taylor assures host that he’ll never touch another drop
Elsewhere in the interview, Taylor assured Taite that he’s done with booze and drugs for life.
“I know for a fact — and I know you’re not supposed to say it — but I know for a fact I will not touch drugs and alcohol again,” he said. “I know that. I have no interest in it. I’m not triggered by it.“
“But so now I can look back and say, ‘What the f–k was I doing? Why didn’t I stop this years ago?’” Taylor continued, adding that he’s made a whole new group of friends in recovery:
“I want to make it very clear, I’m not going to ever stop going to AA for the rest of my life. I love it. It’s like a drug to me. I love going and meeting the guys,” he said. “:My sober friends, I’ve shifted from my drunk friends, now I have a sober group of friends. We have a great time. We go out to dinner.“
These days, Brittany is dating musician Will Gittens.
And it’s certainly her prerogative to try and save her marriage — but we hope she’ll give it some serious thought.
