Over in the Valley cinematic universe, the Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright split has reached levels of shade that could only be described as weaponized PR.

Not one to take the high road, Brittany immediately exposed text messages from Lori, accusing Jax of skipping out on precious time with their son to be with his new flame, and claiming Lori has been "sabotaging" her in the press.
