Michelle Saniei is no longer keeping quiet about her marriage to ex Jesse Lally. During the second season of The Valley, viewers watched the couple navigate their messy separation. And, to be honest, their arguments were often nasty. However, Season 3 has shown Michelle speaking up for herself and confronting Jesse’s girlfriend, Lacy Nicole.
The Valley Season 3 After Show saw Michelle open up
During The Valley Season 3 Episode 7, Lacy alleged that Michelle “pushed Jesse through a window” during their marriage. In her confessional, Michelle explained that Jesse “was drunk” and “upset” because she wanted to divorce him. While he was reportedly “in my face,” Michelle said that she “softly got him out of the way.” However, Jesse told his then-wife, “You just pushed me through a window.”
Meanwhile, in Jesse’s corner, he claimed that Michelle refused to split any funds from a deal that they supposedly worked on together. “She jumped over the bed, and I was folding laundry, and she pushed me back, and my arm went through the window in my bedroom,” he explained.
During The Valley After Show, Jesse opined that Michelle’s behavior must be the result of other cast members telling her how to act in front of the cameras. He noted it was “not her personality.” However, Michelle had some choice words for her ex.
“He doesn’t control me anymore, and it frustrates him so much. Like Jesse didn’t give me a voice,” Michelle explained. “Like, he didn’t allow me to talk or whatever. It was whatever he wanted, and that was it.” Since Michelle hasn’t been with Jesse for over two years, she stated, “I am myself again. And you don’t know me anymore.”
Since these scenes were filmed for The Valley, the former couple has settled their divorce. “I’m grateful we reached an agreement, and we can both start a new chapter in our lives,” Michelle said in a statement.
The Valley airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. Episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
