Jax Taylor is asking for a restraining order against estranged wife Brittany Cartwright.
Taylor made the filing against his ex just a week after she was granted her own temporary restraining order requiring him to stay 100 yards away from her.
The Vanderpump Rules alum asked Cartwright to stay 100 yards away from him, refrain from contacting him and stop "interfering with business deals."
'Malicious Lies'

Brittany Cartwright first was granted a restraining order against Jax Taylor.
As TMZ reported, Taylor claimed his estranged wife has been spreading "malicious" lies about him on social media in the wake of their very public split.
The 47-year-old even went as far as to claim the 37-year-old threatened his potential partnerships and employers with admonishment or "worse if they hire me or associate with me in any way."
According to Taylor, Cartwright's alleged actions cost him a role and a $175,000 paycheck on the Fox reality competition series Special Forces.
The dad-of-one claimed a spot on the series may have been his "comeback" after he was fired from The Valley and checked into an inpatient rehabilitation facility in 2024.

Jax Taylor alleged his estranged wife was spreading 'vicious lies' about him.
In court documents, Taylor stated that Cartwright contacted at least six of his employers in the past month, forcing them "to distance themselves from me out of fear that she will create a public backlash against them."
After more than a decade on Bravo, Taylor alleged his $5,000-per-month payout from the network ends in November, and his savings are "rapidly diminishing."
He claimed that ordering Cartwright to keep out of his business may allow him to make a living.
