In the same interview on Bravo's "Hot Mic" podcast, Cartwright gave an honest review of her estranged husband's 30-day trip to rehab. She stated that she was not impressed by his feat as it had little to zero effect on his character development.
"I don't feel like he changed at all in those 30 days. And the reason, I'm sure it'll be on the show as well, but, you know, a lot of rage texting and stuff was still going on the entire time that he was in rehab." She began. Cartwright added that she noticed his anger issues were not going anywhere:
"So, for me, I was just noticing, like, this is just going to be constant. Like, if you're in therapy seven hours a day, and you're still finding time to call me names and cuss me out? And send me rage texts? Then you're obviously not ever gonna change."

The rep described it as a trying time for his family and urged the public to give them much-needed privacy and time till "he is ready to speak more on this matter." As for their divorce, Cartwright shared that it did not happen due to cheating, abuse, or any extramarital affairs.
She just had enough of their issues that "seemed like they were getting worse, and worse, and worse, and worse" immediately "the cameras stopped rolling."

She noted that pursuing a romantic arrangement with her estranged husband's friend was not her initial plan, but Taylor's anger fueled her purpose. "I was just so mad at Jax. I didn't care if I hurt his feelings like that. Why should I care?" Cartwright confessed.
The Bravo star confirmed that she was indeed physically attracted to Sensley and did not feel guilty about pursuing her interest. "Jax has no legs to stand on. He hooked up with my friend; let's all remember that," she added, referring to Taylor's infamous scandal with her pal Faith Stowers.
