The Valley’s Michelle Saniei Laughs Off Ex Jesse Lally’s Cheating Claims

BBG News

Actress Michelle Saniei from the hit show “The Valley” has openly responded to her former spouse Jesse Lally’s assertion that she was unfaithful to him during their marriage with her partner, Aaron Nosler.

In the second season of Bravo’s show “The Valley,” which began airing on April 15, viewers have seen a 36-year-old real estate agent trying to manage her continuing divorce from her former spouse Jesse.

Nevertheless, their separation has become more acrimonious due to allegations of dishonesty, doubts about Jesse’s financial dealings, and his assertion that Michelle was involved with a billionaire for 1,500 dollars per night.

Their breakup has taken an unpleasant twist, with Jesse accusing Michelle of deceit, raising questions about his own finances, and claiming she was dating a billionaire in exchange for 1,500 dollars each time.

In an unforeseen turn of events, episode three saw a surprising revelation unfold as Jesse confided in Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick about his theory that his ex-spouse had been secretly involved with her current partner while they were still married.

Jesse stated during the April 29 broadcast that he wasn’t sure about Michelle’s current situation. It seems she might have been in a relationship with Aaron for approximately the past two years.

In the course of his private reflections, the 43-year-old realtor expressed doubts: “Something seems off about Michelle and Aaron. I have a feeling that they might have been involved in an incident during the time when I was married.

During our conversation with Kristen and Luke, Jesse shared an interesting observation: Michelle often goes for early-morning hikes without wearing her wedding ring. He also disclosed that he discovered Aaron’s honey brand, The Kilo Company, in their kitchen way back when, long before she started dating the company’s founder and financial advisor.

In an exclusive conversation with DailyMail.com, Michelle shared that she found herself chuckling when she rewatched the episode and saw Jesse’s hypotheses regarding the source of her bond with Aaron.

‘That actually really made me laugh,’ she told DailyMail.com.

Michelle shared a hearty laugh, explaining, “That joke hit home for me since I’m familiar with Aaron, much like we often are with many folks.” She went on to mention that Jesse too knew his partner, Lacy Nicole, before they started dating.

She went on to say, ‘It holds no significance.’ Indeed, I got it right away. I made it crystal clear that I don’t put on makeup for hiking trails, and that’s a false claim. Just like him taking off his jewelry when heading to the gym, I would do the same.

Michelle found it amusing to observe her ex attempting to find evidence that she had been unfaithful with Aaron while married to Jesse.

Back in March 2024, mere days before the first season of “The Valley” debuted, the ex-spouses declared their separation, marking almost six years since they tied the knot. Michelle and Jesse are proud parents to their five-year-old daughter, Isabella Bunny.

In the debut season of the reality TV series, a spin-off from Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules, Michelle and Jesse experienced tension in their marriage as they grappled with disagreements over allegations of unfaithfulness.

Previously, Kristen Doute, who appeared on Vanderpump Rules and stars in The Valley, stated that Michelle had been in a relationship with someone for an entire year, even though she was still married to Jesse at the time.

As a devoted admirer, I too found myself swept up in the buzzing rumors about Michelle’s rendezvous with a renowned director. To my delight, it was none other than Quentin Tarantino that she eventually unveiled as her companion, a secret we discovered together at the celebrity haven, the Chateau Marmont.

In the final episode of season one, we found Michelle and Jesse six months after production ended, with Michelle imploring her former spouse to legally end their marriage by signing the divorce documents.

It appears that Michelle and Jesse’s divorce, which Michelle initiated in March 2024, has made little progress so far.

On the contrary, the podcast host shared with DailyMail.com that his former partner has experienced a shift in feelings and wishes to progress in their divorce process.

I find myself remarking that it feels like a déjà vu, as if time has stood still for me since half a year ago. My legal team and I have been on a constant back-and-forth with Jesse, trying to navigate through similar issues, much like we did six months prior.

It appears that he has developed a new perspective and desires progress. I sincerely hope this is true, as I am optimistic about the situation, given how exhausted we both are of it and our shared desire for resolution.

In terms of managing co-parenting with Isabella, Michelle shared that reaching an agreement on what’s best for her has been surprisingly amicable, in contrast to the more challenging process they faced during their divorce.

Michelle expressed, “To be honest, that aspect is simply fantastic. I’ve repeatedly stated that he’s an outstanding father, and it’s precisely for this reason that I’ve always preferred not to take full custody.

She mentioned that she relocated just a short distance, approximately five minutes, away from her previous residence in Los Angeles (where Jesse remains), as she wished to preserve the existing dynamics for their daughter, rather than altering them.

‘We visit her alternately every two days, ensuring she spends quality time with both of us regularly. Our scheduling is quite seamless, and I handle dropping her off at school while he manages picking her up, which works out perfectly fine for us.’

As the second season of The Valley unfolds, brimming with unseen drama for viewers, the whole cast recently came together to shoot the reunion episode.

When asked about the reunion special, Michelle hinted at certain details but confirmed that everyone was given an opportunity to express themselves.

She mentioned that it can be quite challenging due to the vast amount of topics we need to cover and discuss, yet everyone seems to have an opportunity to express their thoughts and ideas.

New episodes of The Valley air every Tuesday at 9pm ET on Bravo.
