Jax Taylor claimed Jesse Lally and Aaron Nosler, the boyfriend of Jesse’s estranged wife Michelle Saniei, had a “scuffle” at The Valley’s season two premiere party, and Aaron was so “blitzed” that he “fell on the red carpet.”
In the season premiere, Michelle and Jesse argued over where their daughter should go to school amid their divorce. At one point, Michelle insinuated that Jesse only wanted her to go to school in Orange County because he started dating a woman who lives there. During the discussion, Aaron stepped in to ask Jesse a question about his actions. In a confessional, Jesse shaded Aaron for doing so, and he pointed out how quickly they got together after Michelle filed for divorce.
On his In The Mind of Jax Taylor podcast, Jax (who recently opened up about his sobriety from cocaine and alcohol) addressed the premiere party.
“It was really awkward being there, the only one not drinking from the cast,” he said, via @breakingtherulespod on Instagram. “And I noticed that Jesse and Aaron got into a little scuffle.”
“In fact, I noticed that Aaron fell on the red carpet. He fell, and Jason Caperna had to pick him up. He was blitzed,” Jax went on. “I guess it wasn’t a fist fight. It was an argument, and then the fact that he was hammered and he fell on the red carpet … There was some arguing going back and forth, and Jesse was there [by himself] because [his girlfriend] Lacy was not feeling very well. But it was an interesting dynamic.”
Tom Schwartz, who was also on the podcast and attended the premiere party, said he could “feel the tension” between Michelle and Jesse.
“It’s a tough situation they’re going through,” Jax shared. “Everybody knows that Brittany and I are going through what they’re going through. Their [situation is] a little bit different, you know, [Michelle’s] moved on, and she’s moved in with her boyfriend, living in a house … I think [she and Jesse are] still kind of butting heads on certain topics.”
New episodes of The Valley air on Tuesday nights on Bravo.
