Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright speak about their relationship with their publicist after a photo makes waves online

Just a week before Brittany announced her separation from her Valley castmate, the now-estranged spouses discussed that photo of Lori and Jax on their podcast. 

“It was cracking me up how everyone was going crazy about that picture you posted with our publicist Lori,” Brittany said on the February 22 episode. 

Jax added that the PR representative has become a close friend of theirs over the years. 

“I don’t know if people know this or not but Lori’s been in our lives — she’s not only been in our lives, it’s been in Tom [Schwartz’s] life, it’s been in Kristen [Doute's] life, Brittany’s life," Jax continued.

“She’s our publicist and [a] very, very good friend of mine so a photo like that, people I know were saying a lot of crap about it, but it really wasn’t that big of a deal..." Brittany added. "So, I want to make that clear, because Lori’s an amazing publicist, a super hard worker, and she does so much amazing work for us. I just want to make sure we clear that up because that’s just ridiculous.”

Jax went on to add that Lori hails from Montreal, and she was "really excited" to have him and Schwartz visiting the area for an event appearance. 

Who Is Jax Taylor's Publicist, Lori Krebs?

Brittany and Jax's publicist operates the PR firm, LoriK Public Relations. Per her website, Lori has more than 15 years of experience in the field, and she specializes in "celebrity management and partnerships."

In addition to representing Jax, Brittany, Schwartz, and Kristen, Lori also works with Southern Charm's Olivia Flowers, and other figures from outside of Bravo.
