It’s been a rough week for the cast of Vanderpump Rules. After the resurfacing of racist behavior, multiple cast members were let go earlier this week.
Fans began a social media campaign calling for the firing of Jax Taylor. And his wife Brittany Cartwright was forced to issue a statement saying she had nothing to do with racially insensitive comments against former cast member Faith Stowers. So things are probably a little on edge in the household of Jax and Brittany.
But Brittany has way more to worry about than VPR right now. Us Weekly is reporting that her mom, Sherri Cartwright, has been placed in the ICU after emergency surgery.
In a recent Instagram Story, Brittany asked for her the support of her fans, writing, “Please keep my beautiful mom in your prayers.”

Sherri has appeared on VPR and the one-season, limited-episode spinoff, Jax and Brittany Take Kentucky. She announced back in March about her plans to have the procedure. “I’m having bladder surgery March 30 and off work for 8 weeks. So I’m flying to LA for recovery to stay with Jax [and] Brittany. Can’t wait to see them and my Vanderpump moms. Please keep me in your prayers.”
Brittany’s rep confirmed the news that Brittany’s “mother is currently in the ICU due to serious complications from bladder surgery. Brittany has been beside herself and asking for prayers. She is planning to go to Kentucky to be by her mother’s bedside next week – it’s been complicated having visitors at the hospital due to COVID-19 which has been very difficult for Brittany and her family.”

Sherri’s pastor, Ryan Dotson, took to Facebook earlier this week to ask for prayers. “I would like to ask all my friends to please pray for my friend and church member Sherri Turner Cartwright. She had to have an emergency surgery after having a scheduled procedure that went bad. She’s in ICU and things are uncertain, so please join us in prayer for Sherri and believe God for her full recovery.” Ryan was the pastor that Brittany and Jax originally planned on having officiate their wedding. He was replaced after past transphobic and homophobic remarks resurfaced.
We know how much Jax and Brittany love Sherri and are sending her our well wishes for a swift recovery.
