Jax Taylor is getting dragged online for lying about a brand partnership with Smartwater, which it looks like his new girlfriend, publicist Lori Krebs, helped him fake.
The “ad”
The former star of The Valley posted a picture from a pool with a Smartwater propped next to him. His ex, Brittany Cartwright, took to her podcast to share a message she got from Smartwater, while Detective Kristen Doute produced evidence of Jax using AI to fake the brand deal.
Re: Brittany’s POV
It appears that Brittany sent a DM to Smartwater to let them know Jax was faking a partnership with them, which would be a bad look for the company.
During her podcast, she explained. “They just DMed me and said, ‘Hi, Brittany. Smartwater has no relationship with Jax Taylor. He is not a brand ambassador, and his content is not authorized by or affiliated with the company.'”
Brittany gave context to the situation to her guest, Tom Schwartz. “Jax and you know who [Lori] are together in Canada. He posted a whole fake ad brand campaign. I’m sure it was her idea to make it look like he was getting ads and brand deals to try to flip his image.”
Tom Schwartz was mortified on Jax’s behalf. He kept saying how embarrassing this is. “I’m ashamed for him.”
Brittany added, “That is proof that she [Lori] will go to any length to try to switch his image. It’s sick.”
Kristen Doute entered the chat
The former Vanderpump Rules star shared a message she received about Jax. It seems Jax was trying to convince people he wasn’t lying (lol) about the brand partnership.
Jax used AI to make it appear he was a Smartwater partner, but failed to crop the photo to hide the fact it was AI-generated. The account was logged into a person’s account with the initials JT.
Jax is maintaining that he thought this was a legitimate brand deal and tried to turn the tables on Brittany. “What’s been most upsetting is seeing an honest mistake become pure entertainment in an attempt to humiliate me.”
