Brittany Cartwright has been granted a temporary restraining order against her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, after alleging a pattern of domestic violence that included a threat to “gut” her “like a f–king fish.”
The Valley and Vanderpump Rules alum filed the request in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, August 27.
