Janet Doesn’t Believe Michelle Had a Secret Boyfriend

As well as Us, Janet Caperna learned about the rumors about it Michelle Lally reportedly had a secret boyfriend while watching the latest episode of The valley.

“When we saw the episode, it was the first time I heard about a boyfriend,” Janet exclusively shared Us weekly via Costar Kristen Doute the allegations against the producers distract from the rest of the cast. “I literally stopped it and told it [husband] Jason [Caperna] rewind. “Did Kristen just say boyfriend?” What is going on here?'”

Janet was just as “shocked” as the audience, adding, “Because Kristen didn’t say that in front of all of us at the table.” She went into the lobby and said it there in front of the cameras and stuff. But at the time I had no idea she said that.”

During the Tuesday, April 23 episode of The valleyKristen once again referred to “keeping all” Michelle’s “secrets” and finally dropped the bombshell after Michelle’s husband, Jesse LallyHe threatened her and almost came into contact with several cast members.

“Because she had a real boyfriend for a year. We all said it then. Now she’s protecting him and not me,” Kristen claimed. “About a year ago, Michelle and Jesse were very unhappy. Michelle had a husband. She saw him, they were hanging out. I wasn’t against any of that because I think Jesse is a piece of shit.”

After watching the episode, Janet is still not on Kristen’s side.

“I wish Kristen had said that in front of Michelle at that moment so that Michelle would have the opportunity to defend herself and explain what was going on and what wasn’t going on,” Janet said Us. “So I thought it was kind of a cheap shot for Kristen to wait until there was no one left to speak for themselves and say something like that. This is just a huge bomb being dropped. I wish she had given Michelle the opportunity to speak for herself.”

Janet doesn’t believe Michelle even needed to address the speculation, adding: “I don’t know if there’s anything to clarify. I’m still a bit confused.”

Jesse and Michelle, who have since split after nearly six years of marriage, have since been plagued by rumors of infidelity The valley premiered earlier this year. In a sneak peek clip for next week’s episode, Michelle denied to Jesse that Kristen’s claims had any validity – although it’s unclear whether they were informed about the footage of Kristen claiming she has a boyfriend.

According to Janet, it didn’t look like Michelle had met anyone else before ending her marriage.

“[Tuesday] “Night was the first time I heard about it,” Janet shared. “Michelle has a full-time job. She has a 4 year old child [daughter Isabella] and she has a husband. I ask myself, “When will she have time for a boyfriend?” If so, then I want to take a time management course from Michelle. If only she had time for all this.”

The valley was filmed last summer. Michelle recently announced in real time that she is dating someone new after she and Jesse broke up.

“Someone great. “Right now I like our little privacy,” Michelle wrote via Instagram Q&A on Saturday, April 20, before explaining where she and Jesse are now. “My only goal is to be friends one day.”

Shortly after Michelle opened up about her new man, Bravo fans noticed her co-star Brittany CartwrightIn his Instagram story from a group outing, he apparently identified the mysterious man as a financial advisor Aaron Nosler.

Janet told Us that she hasn’t met Michelle’s new husband yet – but her husband jokes: “Jason actually knows him from her single days. As soon as she told me his name, I went and of course immediately looked for him.”

The valley airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo and is available to stream the next day on Peacock.
