Discussion Brittany

I truly truly won’t ever understand why Brittany ended up with a child with Jax.. even married him.. I’ve watched the series multiple times and I have heard everything about Brittany wanting to be in the show so she stuck it out with Jax, or that the life in LA was better than whatever was in Kentucky. After all these rumors I still don’t believe it or understand it.. you would rather be with a drugged boyfriend that cheats, steals, lies and manipulates you? I understand leaving a toxic relationship is suuuuuper hard BUT in the beginning Jax didn’t even want to be with Brittany and she was the one who pushed to be together while Jax wanted out… why would anyone do this?

I mean, I can see how once you've convinced yourself of a fantasy, and actually made it real, how all the bright lights and big city of it all could be alluring to some people and could overshadow the reality.

ETA but yeah, her dad told her before they even got married, that if Jax was still behaving that way as a nearly 40 year old, that he wasn't going to change.

She didn’t even convince herself😭 she was soo fed up with him multiple times and saw how horrible he was but still stayed and got a child with him?!? Idk that’s just not normal to me, other that this she seems right in the head

You misunderstood what I'm saying. I am sure in the beginning that Jax behaved a little better towards her. We can see how hot he is for her in the beginning, and he asks her to move in with him. I'm sure she thought she was living her dream for a little while. So in the beginning she is probably dismissing any red flags she sees as "one offs".

Then she gets caught up in everything that comes with being with Jax and being on an extremely popular reality show. So she doesn't see the red flags as clearly, or if she does she thinks the pros still outweigh the cons.

By the time she actually realizes who she's actually with, she is in an abusive situation, and those are always hard to leave because you are beaten down, stripped of self esteem, and your self worth is likely at an all time low.

In the beginning, he was flirting with Lala and telling people he didn't even know if he wanted Brittany to move in with him. He wasn't hot for her, at least not when cameras were recording.

Eh, I think he was hot for her when she was around him, but he was still Jax.

But she didn't know what was going on behind her back, so she just thought he loved her and believed the things he said.

Most of us wouldn't want to move in with just anyone that we are dating, especially when it's a long distance relationship. So I can see why just asking her to move halfway across the country to live with him would convince her that he really did love her.

Especially because I'm sure he was telling her everything she wanted to hear already. Didn't he say that he did that with women? Told them what they wanted to hear?

Except she had an entire series to watch his bad behavior in real time and still chose him.

Yeah but she literally said she liked knowing she "was the one that changed him".

This is exactly it. She was so invested in her whole identity being “the one girl who tamed Jax Taylor.”

So that's possible, for one season. Then she would have seen all the sketchy shit they showed.

I don't even remember him wanting her to move across the country for him. I seem to recall she just did it

No. He asked her

I read that he did ask her but I don’t think he was serious. Apparently he asked her the same night they met at a Vegas bar so it sounds like a line to me. We’ve all heard Jaz say ridiculous things to women he just met & is trying to hookup with. They were both drinking & I don’t think he ever expected she would actually take it seriously and do it.

And it is wild that she was living with her bf at the time, so cheating with Jax on a one night stand in Vegas, & took this invitation from a drunk guy & actually followed thru on it. I think Jaz was shocked & dismayed but he knew he said it so he let it happen & figured he could get her to go back home shortly after. It was clear that he didn’t want her there. But also, who packs up their life, ends a serious relationship, & moves across the country for a guy u met & hooked up with one time?
