On Tuesday's episode of the Bravo reality series, Cartwright, 36, accused her ex of drinking just days after he got out of rehab following a month-long stint in the facility; pictured April 2024 in Washington D.C.

As the tension escalated, Cartwright revealed her doubts about Taylor's sobriety during a confessional, sparking concerns about his mental health and well-being. And it seems those worries have led to Taylor's decision to leave the show, citing his need to focus on "my sobriety, my mental health, and coparenting."

But that's not all - Cartwright also accused Taylor of having others cover for him when he said he was drinking water during their conversation. She claimed she tried to protect him at first because she didn't want him to "get in trouble." Talk about a mother trying to do the right thing!

The gloves were well and truly off as the estranged couple's argument turned nasty, with Cartwright setting boundaries amid their custody battle. "Cruz is not going over to your house anytime soon," she told Taylor, citing concerns about other women and parties being present. Ouch! That one stung!

During the episode, Taylor, 46, visited Cartwright at her rental property for a discussion about establishing 'boundaries' while co-parenting their four-year-old son Cruz

Taylor fired back, claiming he's trying to be a good father to Cruz and saying that his estranged wife should stop using their son as leverage in their custody battle. But Cartwright wasn't having it, accusing him of being a "narcissist" who doesn't experience emotions like love, pain, or hurt.

The drama reached new heights as the couple went back and forth, with Taylor threatening to take his child support payments away if Cartwright didn't get along better. And in a stunning move, Cartwright revealed she's seeking full custody of their son, saying, "I will handle everything and I will send you a bill for your half of all the doctor bills."

TheScholarlyNote.com has learned that Taylor is still reeling from the fallout, with sources close to the situation revealing he's struggling to come to terms with his estranged wife's accusations. And it seems Cartwright is determined to move on with her life, saying in a confessional, "I want to say I have hope for him, but he's let me down again and again and again for years... I don't have any faith or trust in him anymore."

However, their cordial sit-down quickly turned hostile as the estranged couple got into a shouting match

As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is clear: The Valley has never been more addictive! Stay tuned for more updates on this explosive celebrity feud.

Amid their custody battle, which has quickly turned bitter, Cartwright admitted she was having doubts about his sobriety in a confessional

'I think after Jax got out of the facility, it took him less than five days to go back to the bars and start partying again,' Cartwright claimed. 'It's just so disappointing, like, he did not take anything seriously,' she added

Cartwright also accused Taylor of having others cover for him when he said he was drinking water. She explained her desire to protect him at the time because she didn't want him to 'get in trouble'
