Brittany Cartwright wanted to address her appearance in The Valley series trailer — which was apparently affected by a liposuction procedure.
“I feel like almost all season long, I’m going to have a frown face,” Cartwright, 35, said on the Thursday, March 14, episode of her and estranged husband Jax Taylor‘s “When Reality Hits” podcast. “And there is no context [in] the trailer of what is going on with my freaking mouth.”
Cartwright noted that her mouth is “back to normal” after appearing different in the promotional clips for the Vanderpump Rules spinoff.
“Like three weeks before we started filming, I had work done on my double chin. He did a little bit of lipo under my double chin. And then he did this thing called Morpheus8 [a.k.a micro needling],” she clarified. “I’ll just go ahead and say it. Double chins — we call it the turkey gobbler — runs in my family.”
While some things never change, the cast of Vanderpump Rules is used to a shake-up … and a touch-up. Vanderpump Rules was introduced to Bravo viewers during a special episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in January 2013. Season 1 starred Lisa Vanderpump, who was a Beverly Hills Housewife at the time, Stassi […]
Cartwright made the decision to have the procedure before production started on The Valley, adding, “No matter what I was going through, no matter how much weight I lost, I still felt like I had something there. It wasn’t that invasive. It was just under my chin. But my doctors thought that my face would be back to normal by the time that we started filming.”
According to the reality TV star, the effects were seen for the “majority” of the first season.
“It’s going to look like whenever I’m upset or something, that I’ve got like a frowning face,” she shared. “And in the beginning, it was so hilarious because I had to literally put my finger on my bottom lip so that I could speak because my bottom lip would not move up and down.”
The Valley, which debuts later this month, is centered around a group of friends who leave their wild younger years behind in exchange for parenthood and adulting in California’s San Fernando Valley. This marks Cartwright and Taylor’s return to Bravo after exiting Vanderpump Rules in 2020.
Several Vanderpump Rules stars have stepped away from the Bravo series over the years. Cameras started following the staff at Lisa Vanderpump’s West Hollywood restaurant SUR in 2012 after she rose to fame on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Season 1 of Pump Rules, which premiered in January 2013, starred Lisa, Stassi Schroeder, Jax […]
Taylor, 44, was an original cast member on Vanderpump Rules when it debuted in 2013. Cartwright subsequently joined the series in 2015 after she started dating Taylor before becoming a main cast member, as well.
After taking a break from the spotlight, Taylor and Cartwright expanded their family and welcomed son Cruz in 2021. The pair have since announced that they are “taking time apart” from their marriage.
“So many of you guys have been asking me about Jax and I and our relationship. I just think it is important to be real and honest with you guys because we have shared so much of our life with you guys,” Cartwright said on the February 29 episode of their podcast. “I don’t want it to seem like I am lying or anything like that. So I think it is important for me to say this.”
Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s love story wasn’t exactly a fairy tale leading to their 2024 break. Taylor met Cartwright in between seasons 3 and 4 of Vanderpump Rules in the spring of 2015. Fans watched Cartwright move to Los Angeles to be with Taylor during season 4 of the reality series. While she quickly […]
She continued: “With all the speculation online and stories running rampant, I wanted to be transparent with you. Yes, marriages are very hard and I had a particularly rough year. Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health. I won’t get into too many details right now because this is still really hard to talk about.”
The trailer for The Valley, which was released on Monday, March 11, hinted at issues in Cartwright and Taylor’s relationship. Cartwright said she didn’t think Taylor was “attracted” to her and that they “don’t have sex ever.” Cartwright was also upset in another scene, in which Taylor told his wife she “can’t” express any emotion.
The Valley premieres on Bravo on Tuesday, March 19, at 9 p.m. ET.
