The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Demi Engemann and Marciano Brunette’s drama could be headed to the courthouse. Marciano was a server at Castello Rosato when some of the SLOMW cast visited, and he hit it off with Demi immediately. Their flirty banter was impossible to miss. The problem? Demi is a married lady.
However, Demi claimed that she was “groped” and “sexually assaulted” by an unnamed male at Vanderpump Villa. Meanwhile, Demi continued to communicate with Marciano after leaving the villa, confusing MomTok. Now, Marciano is weighing in on Demi’s allegations.
SLOMW’s Demi Engemann may face legal action from Marciano Brunette
Recently, Marciano issued a statement sharing that he was taking Demi’s claims “extremely seriously.” During Season 3 of SLOMW, Marciano claimed that he and Demi kissed on the lips. However, Demi told Jessi Ngatikaura, “There was not a kiss on the mouth, but there was two *ss grabs.”
“It all started on Vanderpump Villa, and it was a very mutual connection. [Demi] was very flirtatious, very touchy-feely with me,” Marciano told The U.S. Sun. According to Marciano, he kissed Demi on the cheek during Truth or Dare after he asked for her permission. “First off, I just want to preface that I’m taking this so seriously because it literally is so damaging to my name and possibly career. I still have a job, [and employers] are coming up and questioning me about these accusations,” Marciano stated. He added of Vanderpump Villa, “There’s cameras everywhere … there was not anything that you did not see. I never touched her, ever.”
Plus, Marciano is weighing his legal options. He stated that a lawsuit is “100% being discussed right now,” adding, “We’re moving really quickly.” In addition, Marciano reported that he had lost job opportunities after Demi’s allegations hit.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is now streaming on Hulu.
