Without a doubt, Brittany Cartwright is the most lovable person on Vanderpump Rules. It’s kind of surprising that she fits in with this cast of characters, but she really does bring a much-needed sense of balance and kindness to a show that’s chock full of drama.
It could have been really awkward for Brittany to come on a show and join a group of friends that includes her boyfriend’s ex girlfriend, former hookups, and occasional enemies, but she somehow made it work and navigated the unique situation like a pro. Even so, Brittany (somehow) gets social media hate. Don’t worry about it though. Sure, Brittany seems like the nicest person on the planet, but she knows how to handle herself when needed.

Brittany talked to Stassi Schroeder on an episode of her Straight Up with Stassi podcast all about her transition from Kentucky to California and how she handles everything with such grace.
Stassi started off the interview by declaring, “This is the first person in my twenty eight years of existence, that I have found to be the kindest person that I’ve ever met without me thinking that there’s something behind it. It’s a really big deal because I don’t trust nice bitches.”
Brittany told Stassi, “I am pretty nice, but if you piss me off good enough, I have a different side.” Stassi wasn’t really buying that so she asked, “Really?” And Brittany admitted, “Only if it’s just like Jax [Taylor].” That’s totally understandable.
Brittany explained what it was like when she first moved to West Hollywood to live with Jax. She recalled, “Everybody was just super nice to me. Jax was like ‘SUR is hard. It’s a tough life’ and it was just really fun for me. It was a good transition. I was lucky enough that my boyfriend was already a part of this whole thing. That brought me close to this big group of friends.” Brittany is the only new girl who had a good start in the social world of SUR. Plus her boyfriend is beyond notorious, so the fact that everyone loves her really says a lot.
Actually, Jax wasn’t even Brittany’s actual “in” with the cast. Brittany revealed, “I met Katie [Maloney] before I met Jax and Katie was just sweet as can be to me from the get-go.” She also explained how she had to get her own impression of who people are instead of relying on others’ opinions: “When I met Kristen [Doute] for the first time, she was just so nice to me and you know once I started getting involved in all this, people would try to tell me things and say whatever about this person or that person. Then I meet everybody and I’m like ‘These people are awesome. I don’t think anything that you guys think.’ It’s not always the same as what people see on TV.”
Brittany also addressed the elephant in the room. It would be normal for Stassi (Jax’s ex) and Brittany (Jax’s current girlfriend) to not be friends, but they actually like each other a lot- obviously, since Brittany did go on Stassi’s podcast- but it is still unusual. Brittany recalled, “You were so nice to me when I met you and you were probably the person that I was most nervous to meet.” Stassi commented, “Well that makes sense,” but Brittany revealed, “We got along from the get-go.”
Brittany has said a few times that Scheana Marie is her closest friend in California, so I was pretty surprised when she admitted, “Scheana took a little bit of time to be on my good side, but once she was, we were so close.”
Although everyone on Vanderpump Rules loves Brittany, there are some people who don’t- which I do not understand at all. Even an angel like Brittany gets trolled on Instagram and Twitter. Stassi told Brittany, “I always wonder how you haven’t had a breakdown yet.”
Brittany explained why she has been able to keep herself together when it comes to the haters: “I love myself and I know my friends and family love me and I’m a huge part of their lives. If I was to not be myself or break down, it would affect a lot more people than just myself. That’s what I try to think of when people are horrible to me. And then I just delete them and block them.” And that is why I (and everyone else) loves Brittany. She’s confident, but not cocky or annoying.
Brittany declared, “I know who I am and I stick by who I am” and we all adore her for that. Jax is one lucky man.
