One of Scheana Shay’s friends has reached the end of his patience with The Valley’s Zack Wickham.
Following a drunken altercation with Zack at – where else? – Jax’s (former) Bar, Simon Curtis accused Zack of trying to get into a physical fight with him. After calling Brittany Cartwright’s gusband a “parasite,” he also accused him of stealing a design from a graphic artist.
In an Instagram post, Simon accused Zack of selling T-shirts aimed at both him and The Valley’s biggest pot-stirrer, Janet Caperna.
Scheana Shay’s friend also accused Zack Wickham of physical aggression and design theft

While Zack has become close to several people on The Valley, he and Brittany have been besties for 17 years. Throughout Season 2, Zack stood at Britt’s side, defending her against the nefarious behavior of her estranged husband Jax Taylor.
“[You] spent ten years parasiting off your ‘best friend’ to get on tv … All you have to show for it is some merch about … me? Pathetic,” Simon ranted on Instagram. He included a photo of a T-shirt with emojis of a crocodile, a ‘pile of poo,’ and shoes. “I’d tag you, Zack, if you didn’t have me blocked on everything (lol), but launching and promoting your merch store with a reference to me after all this time is such weirdo behavior.”
“I’ve kept my mouth shut for two years while you’ve continued to talk about me behind my back, take jabs publicly, drunkenly tried to get physical with me at Jax’s bar, screamed out of your car window calling me fat while I was out running,” he continued. “Are you done yet?”
Furthermore, he called Zack out for allegedly stealing a design from another artist. “Three shirts about Janet, one about me, and another with a design you stole from an independent artist and keep deleting comments when her fans try to bring it up to you,” he added. “Do you not have anything of your SELF to offer to sell merch? … Leeching off others’ moments, stealing artist’s designs, and using your castmate and former friend for clout speaks volumes … Phony. Plagiarist. Parasite.”
In addition, Simon shared two side-by-side photos of Zack’s “petty” T-shirts and a similar shirt by @snowthaproduct. He accused Zack of stealing the other design and marketing the copycat version as his own.
Don’t worry, Zack. You may be having trouble getting along with your own castmates, but Tamra Judge still loves you.
The Valley airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
