Scheana Shay Exposes Stunning Cheating Scandal in the Valley
Scheana Shay has made a grand entrance into The Valley with a shocking revelation.
In the Tuesday, April 22, episode of Bravo’s reality series, the former Vanderpump Rules star found herself entangled in a dispute between ex-couple Jesse Lally and Michelle Saniei.
“Are you really going to talk about the random girl you just started seeing?” Michelle, 36, confronted Jesse, 43. “You know the nonsense she tells my friends and others? It’s honestly embarrassing, and I actually feel bad for you. She’s been telling people — including one of my friends — that she’s sleeping around.”
And who is this friend who seems to have the scoop? None other than Scheana, 39, of course.
“My friend in Orange County said she’s been seeing other guys?” Jesse asked Scheana during an unexpected phone call. “Is that true or false?”
Scheana responded, “That is absolutely true. She even mentioned the specific guy. The one from Baywatch.”
Once Jesse hung up, Michelle asserted that she’s indifferent to what her estranged husband does with this unnamed woman — or with any other woman. Her main concern is protecting their 4-year-old daughter, Isabella, from any distress.
“We’re both frustrated,” Michelle stated. “She can do whatever she wishes. I hope you all find happiness — whatever that looks like.”
Conversely, Jesse voiced skepticism about Michelle’s true motives, insinuating that she might have cheated or lied in the past, something she has consistently denied.
“I didn’t cheat on her. I didn’t deceive her,” Jesse confided in a confessional. “Sure, I may not have been the best husband, but I didn’t hurt her, so why is she trying to hurt me?”
Prior to the launch of The Valley season 1 in March 2024, Us Weekly confirmed exclusively that Michelle and Jesse had parted ways after nearly six years of marriage. Numerous highs and lows leading to their separation were showcased throughout the show’s first season, which also featured Brittany Cartwright, Jax Taylor, and Kristen Doute.
As season 2 began earlier this month, audiences witnessed Michelle navigating a public divorce from Jesse while also dating financial advisor Aaron Nosler. Jesse’s new girlfriend has yet to be seen on the show.
Both Jesse and Michelle are working hard to co-parent their daughter, even as they admit to differing views on certain matters.
“Michelle has her perspective, and I have mine,” Jesse shared exclusively with Us Weekly on April 10. “Words don’t hold as much weight as what the viewers see on screen. That’s what should be taken into account. It’s only one side of the story. But she has her experience, and that shapes her feelings.”
Casey Durkin/Bravo Viewers of Bravo anticipated the Vanderpump Rules alums would take center stage in The Valley, but they were shocked to see Michelle Lally and Jesse Lally become the primary subject of discussions. The spinoff series, which premiered in March 2024, centers around a circle of friends as they transition from their wild youth into new chapters in their lives. […]
In a separate interview with Us, Michelle articulated her hope for a more harmonious relationship with Jesse.
“All I can do is remain optimistic because I always hope we will eventually find that common ground. I can’t say for sure if it will happen,” she commented. “That remains my hope because I truly love my daughter and want her to witness two joyful parents. So, I will do my best to stay positive.”
The Valley airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET. You can stream past episodes anytime on Peacock.
