Connecting relative clauses with a comma

Why would I want to be friends with somebody who blackmails me, who outs my little brother at the dinner table?

In this sentence, the underscored relative clauses are connected with a comma.

Does the comma mean 'and'?

If so, is using a comma instead of 'and' allowed only in spoken English as here or can it be allowed in written English as well?
