Brittany Cartwright and The Valley producers suspect Jax Taylor planted a listening device in the house while he was away in rehab!

Brittany Cartwright, star of Bravo’s The Valley, and the show’s producers are grappling with a shocking suspicion: Jax Taylor, Cartwright’s estranged husband, may have planted a listening device in their shared home while he was away in rehab. The bombshell revelation came to light in an episode of the When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany podcast, where Cartwright discussed unsettling details about Taylor’s behavior during their separation.

Cartwright, 35, revealed that she and the producers noticed strange occurrences in their Los Angeles home, leading them to suspect Taylor had installed a bug to eavesdrop on her while he was receiving treatment. “There were things happening in the house that made us think, ‘Is he listening to what’s going on?’” Cartwright shared, hinting at mysterious incidents that raised red flags during filming. She noted that the producers were so convinced of foul play that they began searching the home for hidden devices, though none were conclusively found.

The couple, who share a 3-year-old son, Cruz, announced their separation in February 2024 after nearly five years of marriage. Taylor, 45, checked into an intensive in-patient rehab program in July 2024 to address mental health struggles, staying for 30 days. During this period, Cartwright continued filming The Valley season 2, which documents their post-separation dynamic. Sources close to production told People that Taylor’s actions before entering rehab, including cryptic comments about “keeping tabs” on the household, fueled suspicions about his intentions.

Adding to the drama, Cartwright disclosed that Taylor was reluctant to leave their shared home after their split, complicating her efforts to move forward. “It was like he was trying to monitor every move I made,” she said on the podcast, describing how she felt watched even in his absence. The producers’ concerns were amplified when they noticed inconsistencies in Taylor’s knowledge of events at home, despite him being miles away in treatment.

Taylor, for his part, has not directly addressed the allegations but has spoken about his rehab experience on social media, calling it a “life-changing” step toward better mental health. However, his history of controversial behavior on Vanderpump Rules and The Valley—including explosive arguments and accusations of infidelity—has kept fans skeptical of his actions.

The speculation about a listening device has sent shockwaves through the Bravo fanbase, with social media buzzing about the potential betrayal. “If Jax really did this, it’s a whole new level of crazy,” one X user posted, while another commented, “Brittany deserves better than being spied on in her own home!” The controversy has only heightened anticipation for The Valley season 2, which promises to delve deeper into the couple’s fractured relationship.

As of now, no concrete evidence of a listening device has been confirmed, but the suspicion alone has cast a shadow over Taylor’s intentions. Cartwright, meanwhile, is focusing on co-parenting Cruz and navigating her new reality as a single woman. “I’m just trying to find peace and keep things stable for my son,” she said, emphasizing her priority amid the chaos.
