Ariana Madix has expressed her unwavering support for Brittany Cartwright as she navigates her public split from estranged husband Jax Taylor. In a recent interview, the former “Vanderpump Rules” star candidly discussed the toxic dynamics viewers have observed between Cartwright and Taylor, emphasizing her pride in Brittany for recognizing her worth and making the decision to leave.
Madix didn’t hold back when addressing Taylor’s behavior this season of “The Valley.” She described it as “horrible” and praised Cartwright for finding her voice amidst the turmoil. This support follows Taylor’s admission of potentially abusive behavior towards Cartwright, leading fans and co-stars to rally behind her after she filed for divorce in August 2024.
Even as Madix juggles her schedule with a Broadway stint in “Chicago” and hosting the seventh season of “Love Island,” she has maintained a connection with Cartwright. Their supportive friendship was evident when they were spotted together at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, leading to a nostalgic social media interaction.
While Madix is solidifying her bond with Cartwright, her relationships with other “Vanderpump Rules” stars have become more complicated. She severed ties with Tom Sandoval after discovering his infidelity and lost trust in Tom Schwartz for remaining silent about the affair. Although her bond with Scheana Shay has changed, both women acknowledge their love for each other despite the distance. Conversely, Lala Kent has openly stated that a reunion with Madix is unlikely, underscoring the shifting dynamics within their circle.
Madix remains a steadfast presence for those who support her as she continues her career hosting “Love Island” on Peacock. Fans can tune in to see her every night, except Wednesdays, as she embraces this new chapter in life.
This story is a reminder of the importance of self-empowerment and the strength found in supportive friendships, demonstrating that it is possible to evolve and find happiness, even after difficult times.
