Jessi Ngatikaura is fighting back against Marciano Brunette’s claim of an affair. He alleges that he and Jessi slept together while she was staying at the Vanderpump Villa in Italy.
“That was definitely a hard watch,” the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast member said. “We are continuing filming, so you guys will see this story unfold … Viewers can look forward to me being very vulnerable and going behind the curtain of my real life and marriage.”
Jessi hopes that telling the full story in Season 3 will “help a lot of women” going through a similar experience. “Because of the show, I can’t say much about it,” she added. “But relationships are really hard, and people make mistakes.”

Regardless of what Marciano told Layla Taylor in Park City, Jessi promises there’s more to the story. “What he said was not accurate,” Jessi told Bustle on May 22. Because the show is currently filming, she can’t talk about it. “Honestly … he’s a piece of sh*t.”
During Season 2, Jessi deflected rumors that she was making out with Marciano at LA bar TomTom. But in Episode 9, Layla met him to get the full scoop. Even though he previously hinted that something happened between him and Demi Engemann, who is also married, Marciano added to his story.
“It is not even just about Demi,” he told Layla. “One thing led to another. Oh, more than [just making out].”
In addition, Marciano claimed the affair is on-going. “Jordan doesn’t know the truth about how extensive it was,” he added. “It was not just … some one-night stand.”
Meanwhile, Jessi’s husband Jordan Ngatikaura is understandably “not happy” with the server’s allegations. “We knew about it before the show came out, but it’s different when you [are] actually seeing it,” Jessi said. “But I think it’s going to open up a bigger conversation about marriage and relationship dynamics and how hard it can be.”
Though the couple is currently “working through things,” she is not wearing her wedding ring. “Things are a little tricky right now,” she said. “I’m excited to hopefully someday share more about that. But right now it’s just real life and it’s hard.”
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is now streaming on Hulu.
