“There’s been a lot going on between Jax and I,” Brittany said in a confessional. “We had already been having issues all summer, but once the cameras stopped rolling, things seemed to just get worse and worse.”
“About six weeks ago I split up with Jax. I moved into an Airbnb with Cruz because Jax didn’t want to leave the house,” she said at the end.

“I got to a point where I started to realize everything that it did to me,” Brittany said. “It was like a ton of bricks had fallen on me.”

“I’ve been through a lot of pain in this relationship,” Brittany said. “I can’t take it anymore.”
