Drama is simmering in the valley. Golnesa “GG” Garachedaghi from The Valley: Persian Style recently discussed her interactions with Jax Taylor, a former cast member. Last year, Taylor reportedly provided his ex-wife Brittany Cartwright and friend Kristen Doute with “ammunition” during an online argument.
This revelation came during a recent episode of the Housewife’s Nightcap podcast, where Garachedaghi and Taylor reminisced about their past connection, which dates back to season two of Vanderpump Rules. Below a clip of her confession, Zach Wickham, who is a close friend of Cartwright, accused Garachedaghi of being in Taylor’s “DMs and comments section” since then.
In an interview with DECIDER, Garachedaghi acknowledged that she had “definitely communicated a little bit” with Taylor, but only after he reached out following a disagreement with Doute in September 2025.
“Jax called me when there was tension between Brittany, Kristen, and myself,” she explained. “He texted me multiple times to say, ‘If you need anything, I have X, Y, and Z.’ He was informing me about all the details available to me.”
She added, “I thought, ‘I’m not interested. I can create enough drama myself.’ But that was the one message I sent Jax. I’m not sure how Zack is aware of this.”
As context, Cartwright filed for divorce from Taylor in 2024 after four years of marriage, stating she has no intention of reconciling. Taylor’s controversial actions in the second season led to his exit in season three. The tension between Garachedaghi and Doute appears to stem from a comment Garachedaghi made on a photo of Cartwright and her then-boyfriend. She pointedly asked if Cartwright was expecting, referencing how her boyfriend was holding her stomach.
Doute accused Garachedaghi of “body shaming” Cartwright. The situation escalated when Doute expressed being “disgusted” by Cartwright’s public speculation about her pregnancy. Known for her fiery nature, Garachedaghi responded sharply.
“You’re always trying to come for me, but I’m not that person!” she retorted. “Seeing a man hold his girlfriend’s stomach is typical, especially if she seems obviously pregnant.”
Garachedaghi also warned Doute that their relationship would face “serious problems” going forward, advising her against calling her by name. She mentioned a past mistake and hinted at future confrontations, saying, “Buckle up, bucktiff.”
The Valley: Persian Style is currently streaming on Peacock, while season three of The Valley is set to premiere on Bravo on April 1st.
