- Drama from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives spills into Vanderpump Villa when Marciano Brunette apologizes to Jordan Ngatikaura for his affair with Jessi Draper.
- Marciano then alleged that Jessi cheated on her first husband, Zach Gish, with Jordan.
- Separately, SLOMW’s Dakota Mortensen was largely edited out of Vanderpump Villa due to his controversy involving Taylor Frankie Paul.
DadTok has officially crossed over from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives to Vanderpump Villa, and of course, their drama has come along with them to Rosecroft Park. ICYMI, Vanderpump’s very own Marciano Brunette played a role in Jessi Draper’s separation from Jordan Ngatikaura after they had an affair during MomTok’s trip to the villa.
On season 3 of Hulu’s Vanderpump Rules spin-off, Marciano finally met Jordan and apologized for the whole ordeal. However, that wasn’t enough for Jordan, who felt Marciano wasn’t being genuine with his apology. During his confessional, Marciano admitted that he had been “biting his tongue” about another secret Jessi had allegedly been keeping from Jordan.
The next morning, he confided in Lisa Vanderpump and spilled the secret, saying that he had known about it “for a long time.”
“Jessi cheated on her ex-husband with Jordan,” he explained to Lisa, adding that he avoided confronting Jordan about it on camera. “But what am I supposed to say? I didn’t know we were going to have this conversation, and I was going to have to stand on it and stick up for it.”
Of course, reality TV vet Lisa stood by her employee as she referred to Jordan as an “absolute example of fucking hypocrisy.” Stassi Schroeder also chimed in, saying, “Jordan is out here acting like the victim. He is crying and putting it on, and we were all just fooled.”
Jessi has yet to respond to Marciano’s allegations about how she got with Jordan in the first place, but in case you need a reminder, she once claimed she had “emotionally cheated” on Jordan with Marciano during MomTok’s trip to the villa.
These developments come after Dakota Mortensen was edited out of Vanderpump Villa season 3, despite his visit being a major plotline on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 4.
Lisa confirmed the edit during an interview with People, saying he “didn’t really have a big storyline” on the show and that removing him from the final cut “hasn’t affected the story.”
“We don’t want to shine a spotlight on something that’s been so controversial,” she added of Dakota, who is in the thick of a domestic violence dispute with Taylor, who had her entire season of ABC’s The Bachelorette scrapped. She shared that Dakota’s “brief storyline of an interaction with somebody else” would be “scaled…back because of the controversy.”
While he’s (rightfully) out for the count, we’ll have to wait and see whether Jessi or Jordan weigh in on Marciano’s allegations (or whether anyone will clear up what exactly is going on between Jessi and Marciano right now…)
