Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright looked back on a “rude” encounter with actor Justin Hartley on an episode of their podcast last week.
After welcoming guest Shep Rose, 44, of Southern Charm, Jax, 44, and Brittany, 35, put Justin, 47, on blast for acting as if he was above them during a run-in at the Kentucky Derby years ago as they also revealed if Shep was truly their worst wedding guest and detailed his apparent makeout with Scheana Shay, 38.
“I can say this guy ’cause I really don’t like him… I had the best experience with Lady Gaga, I mean the fact that she knew about me, she wanted to know about my wife… It’s almost like she was excited to see me. Jennifer Lawrence, the same thing. She knew all about me, she was asking questions. Then we were at the Kentucky Derby one year right, we ran into an actor who’s probably doing a little bit better now but at the time,” Jax began on the February 8 episode of When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany.
“He just rubbed us the wrong way, and he thought he was a little too cool for us,” the Vanderpump Rules star continued. “He literally just snubbed us … He was dating [Chrishell Stause]. And Chrishell was so sweet to us. She was so nice.”
According to Brittany, Justin may have let his This is Us success go to his head.
“He was nice but it was just like when people wanted to take group photos because we were all in a group together. Like, he stood in the back with his head up to the ceiling and wouldn’t look forward, and everybody else, including the people who took care of us at the Kentucky Derby, were all in that photo,” she noted. “It just seemed a little like, rude.”
Although Jax didn’t appreciate Justin’s treatment, he did feel that he and Brittany were a little out of their element.
“He’s been acting his whole life, and working his way up to be invited to these parties, and Brittany and I woke up one day and decided to be on reality TV, and we’re invited and taking pictures with all these stars,” he reasoned.
Looking back on their wedding, Brittany noted that while Shep was previously named as their worst guest, he was only given such a title due to a leaked pic he shared on social media of her and Jax’s big day.
“You didn’t actually screw up anything but we were put on the spot on Watch What Happens Live. [Andy Cohen] said something like, ‘Who was the worst wedding guest?’ You just came to my mind immediately because you posted me walking down the aisle before the PEOPLE exclusive,” she explained. “I was like, ‘Shep knows better than to do something like that.’ But that’s the only reason we said that. It wasn’t anything like bad.”
“You know Jax and I are so used to be the whipping boy and the fall guy that it doesn’t even matter anymore,” Shep replied.
Jax then revealed a makeout Shep had at their wedding.
“Who did you make out with at the wedding? Did you make out with Scheana?” he asked.
“Yeah, that might have happened,” Shep confirmed. “I had so much fun that I don’t regret anything at that wedding.”
Vanderpump Rules season 11 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo, and The Valley is expected to premiere sometime this spring, also on Bravo.
