The drama surrounding Jax Taylor and publicist Lori Krebs isn’t slowing down.

On the latest episode of the “When Reality Hits” podcast, Brittany Cartwright and co-host Zack Wickham addressed the fallout from photos that appeared to show Jax and Lori looking cozy together in a pool during a trip to Puerto Vallarta.

The pictures, first published by TMZ, reignited years of speculation about the pair’s relationship and quickly became one of the biggest talking points among “The Valley” fans.

According to Zack, the controversy spilled over behind the scenes before the podcast was even recorded.

“There is one thing, though, that I wanted to start off by saying. I wanted to say hi to a few fans that are listening. Hi, Lori. Hi, Jax,” he said sarcastically. “Thank you so much for texting people and saying that we need to watch what we say on this podcast because you’ll be listening.”

Brittany Cartwright Says She’s Ready to Share ‘the Truth’

Brittany didn’t directly address the alleged messages, but she made it clear she plans to speak publicly when she’s ready.

“All I’m going to say about this at this moment is I will be speaking my truth, the truth, on this matter very soon, whenever I’m ready,” she said. “As of right now, I am focusing on me and the most important thing in my life, which is my beautiful son. As of right now, I’m just trying to protect my son and my peace. … I mean, I think everybody kind of understands what’s going on.”

Zack hinted he also has more to say once Brittany shares her side.

“Then once you say your piece, oh I can’t wait to say mine,” he said.

Brittany ended the conversation by adding, “Those people will never live rent-free in my mind ever again.”

New episodes of “The Valley” air Wednesdays on Bravo.
