She has put up with years of drama on both Vanderpump Rules and The Valley, but Brittany Cartwright was unable to get through a single day of the grueling reality show Special Forces.
Brittany, 36, dropped out just halfway into day one of season four, after she and her team lost to their competitors.
Brittany’s team was forced to run home as punishment for losing a challenge that saw them rappel from a helicopter and carry sacks of grain.
But the final run proved to be too much for Brittany, who gave up just 500 yards into the jog.
‘It feels like I’m going to pass out, I’m sorry,’ Brittany told Directing Staff trainer Jovon ‘Q’ Quarles as she struggled to keep up with the others.
‘You know what this means right?’ Jovon replied.

‘Yeah, I don’t want to be the first to go, but,’ she breathlessly said.
‘You got to dig deep and figure out how bad you want to this…’ he said.
‘I can’t move,’ she said, before he pressed her to make a decision.
‘I can’t. I’m going to throw up,’ she said, removing her arm band. ‘I’m really sorry. I feel like s**t.’
As Brittany retreated to a car waiting to take her home, she admitted she was mortified to be the first to leave.
‘I knew I was gonna be first. I f**king knew it. So embarrassing,’ Brittany said. ‘F**king knew it.’
Brittany admitted earlier she was not at her peak physical condition.
‘I’m not the fittest I’ve ever been in my life, that’s for sure, but chasing around my four-year-old has been very helpful,’ she said in a confessional.

‘I wanted to do special forces selection because I have been through so much this year. I finally found the strength to leave a very toxic relationship,’ she said.
‘I had my ex writing me being like, “You’re not going to make it far,” before I even came here. So, like people like that I want to prove wrong.’
Brittany filed the legal papers to end their marriage in August 2024 after five years of marriage, citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’
Months prior to Brittany filing for divorce, she had already revealed to the public that they had been living separately for months.
