Danny Booko has not been presenting himself in a good light on The Valley recently. After battling the notorious persona of Darkside Danny last season, you’d think the actor would be hyper-vigilant about his behavior after a few drinks. But on the most recent episode, Nia Sanchez was on the receiving end of some unnecessary attitude.
Lala Kent jumped in to the fray and asked Danny to speak more respectfully to his wife. And a lot of viewers are coming to Nia’s defense. Though some question whether Danny wasn’t playing a character in the moment, as the men were dressing up for a fun beauty pageant. Whatever his intention, Danny is facing backlash for the interaction. And now, seemingly it’s interfered with his appearance on Watch What Happens Live.
Tom Schwartz will replace his Valley Season 3 co-star
Queens of Bravo share network announcement that Danny would not be attending Andy Cohen’s show. The fan account wrote via Twitter, “Danny had originally been announced to appear on WWHL this upcoming Wednesday with Luke. Andy just announced Tom Schwartz is stepping in to replace Danny.”
However, Nia suggested the decision had nothing to do with the public backlash. And she offered another explanation for Danny’s absence from tomorrow’s taping.
“Daniel got a great work opportunity on a huge new movie,” Nia told Reality Blurb. “He’s so bummed to not be in NYC. He was planning on being there.”
The Valley star added that flying in-and-out for taping “unfortunately didn’t work out.” Nia referred to her husband’s Instagram Story.
“A little change of plans this week,” Danny wrote on his social media. “Instead of heading to NYC for press, I’ll be staying in LA working on an incredible new project that came together last minute and was way too good to pass up.”
He concluded, “Feeling very grateful and blessed. More to come.”
Catch The Valley Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
