Michelle Saniei appeared on Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, where she shared her thoughts about whether The Valley cast had been too hard on Nia and Danny Booko.
Amid ongoing claims surrounding Danny’s drinking, Michelle, 36, looked back on the drama while also shading ex-husband Jesse Lally‘s many “conspiracy theories” and bedroom skills, sharing her thoughts on Lala Kent, 34, labeling him a “narcissist,” reacting to the idea that Jesse was harboring feelings for her, despite their split, and more.
“I totally agree with all [the] women,” Michelle confirmed on the June 10 episode of WWHL. “I have a daughter. You never want … anybody to feel uncomfortable, so I absolutely do not feel like it’s okay. I am friends with them. I’m friends with everybody. But at the end of the day, it was not okay that that happened.”
As for Danny’s heated conversation with Janet Caperna, 35, on Tuesday’s episode, during which Janet called out Danny’s drunken antics, Michelle understood where her castmate was coming from.
“When Danny drinks, he is a very lightweight, and you kind of see that. So it can be frustrating to us women because we do know the one time what happened, and we just don’t want it to happen again,” she explained.
Moving on to Jesse, 45, and the rumors he’s spread about her, Michelle admitted, “I’m just kind of sick and tired of Jesse’s conspiracy theories. It’s just exhausting.”
“I’ve been dealing with it for over a year, and he knows the truth. He just wants to paint me into this horrible picture when he knows the reality, and I just wanna move forward in life,” she noted.
Then, after joking that the only lesson Jesse taught her was “what not to date,” she shaded him as a lover.
“Let’s just say the numbers really low,” Michelle replied after being asked to rank him.
Although Michelle didn’t have many nice things to say about Jesse, she applauded him as a “great” father and revealed how he was a better partner to her than her current boyfriend, Aaron Nosler.
“He was very OCD in cleaning, so he cleaned the house,” she stated.
When asked who she would hook Jesse up with from Bravo, Michelle said her ex would “probably like a housewife.”
“An O.C. housewife .. he likes the O.C. world very much,” she explained.
As for whether she believed Jesse still had feelings for her, Michelle confessed to having “mixed feelings.”
“I think back then he did. He told me he was having a tough time, and at one point, he told me that he still loved me, but I think that we finally have moved on, both of us,” she shared.
Reflecting on Brittany Cartwright‘s shark party, where Lala slammed Jesse as a narcissist and accused him of being “toxic,” Michelle confirmed she appreciated her friend speaking up on her behalf.
“I love it because sometimes I’m just [internal], and sometimes I can’t express myself the way I want to, and to see my friends speak to him and open up, I love that so much,” she revealed.
Also on the live broadcast, Michelle was asked about whether Brittany, 36, was really done with Jax Taylor, 45.
“Absolutely. She filed for divorce, and they’ve been trying to coparent as well as they can, and I think they are absolutely done,” she replied, “at least she is. I can’t speak for Jax because I don’t really talk to him.”
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Michelle revealed if she regretted saying that her divorce was worse than Brittany’s divorce from Jax and explained why she made the comment.
“Yes, I should never compare, whatsoever,” she admitted.
“What I meant by that was I was going through a really nasty divorce, and I was going through a situation where my mom was very, very ill and going through chemo, and so that just added another layer for me, and people weren’t treating me the same way,” she continued. “That’s kind of what hurt my feelings a little bit.”
The Valley season two airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
