Even though The Valley is only halfway through its premiere season, there is a couple that is standing out from the crowd due to their tenuous marriage. Jesse Lally and Michelle Lally, both real estate agents from Los Angeles, are currently going through quite a rough patch, with the latter facing accusations of cheating on her husband.

Viewers have watched Michelle openly admit that she resents her husband for going back to work after the worldwide pandemic, leaving her home with their daughter. Jesse has also opened up about thinking that his wife doesn’t like who he is as a person.

Honestly, their entire relationship is a bit of a mess. But watching a marriage unfold in front of your eyes is hard. Now, during the time of filming, it looked like for a second, both were willing to try couples therapy. However, as we know now, both have decided to move on from a relationship that wasn’t serving either of them.

Which director?

Jesse was a slow burn, but once he opened up, it seemed that almost everyone knew about Michelle possibly dating a famed Hollywood director in secret. Both Jax Taylor and Luke Broderick hinted at infidelity during their confessionals. Luke seemed to be bursting to spill some piping hot tea, claiming that what he knew could end Michelle and Jesse’s marriage. Thankfully, Jax gave us a little bit more by describing Michelle’s friendship with a well-known director.

Word on the curb, according to Jax, was, “Michelle always claims she doesn’t know who famous people are. But she was going on with that director; she was going out with him for a couple of days straight. She goes to the Chateau Marmont every day from her house and she happened to meet him at the pool, and they get along.”

Jax went even further sharing, “It turned out to be another day. And then another day, Like, you don’t think this is peculiar? I know she’s a real estate agent, so this is a potential customer. Jesse doesn’t seem too bothered by it. I don’t know whether I believe it or not.” After the episode, Michelle took to her Instagram Stories to write, “Absolutely not. Part of my job as a real estate agent is to network and build relationships. It had absolutely nothing to do with dating anyone.”

A lot of the rumors center around Michelle while Jesse is still, for the most part, coming out smelling like roses. Kristen Doute, who can’t help but drop her two cents in, divulged that she had tried to protect her former friend by shouting to producers, “Because she had a f*cking boyfriend for a year.”

Kristen let loose, yelling, “There, we all said it. Now she’s protecting him and not me … About a year ago, Michelle and Jesse were very unhappy. Michelle had a guy. She was seeing him, they were hanging out. I was not against any of this because I think Jesse is a piece of sh*t.”

As of today, Michelle has not addressed Kristen’s rumors. But during a Q&A segment on her Instagram, she did reveal that she is dating “Someone amazing. I like our little privacy for the moment.”

Was there infidelity?

During the same heated argument, Jesse admitted to Bravo cameras that he had a few outstanding questions that always had him wondering. The Boston native said, “She used to yell at me when we first started dating. If I put my cell phone down and then all of a sudden she starts putting her cell phone face down.”

The move raised concerns for Jesse as he shared, “For years, she wouldn’t go out and have a margarita without doing boomerang. Then, all of a sudden, no more posts. Her thing was, ‘Well, sometimes I want to take a break from social media.’ Bullsh*t. She never took a break from social media, ever.”

There is no doubt that nowadays, anyone can be their own private investigator thanks to the birth of social media, VPNs, and cell phones. So Jesse’s concerns seemed valid. But Michelle downplayed her husband’s concerns, stating, “That shouldn’t be in your head, and you shouldn’t think like that. You shouldn’t have to worry. We have never had that type of relationship where we have to worry about each other. And I’ve been honest with you.”

The Valley continues Tuesday nights at 9/8c on Bravo.
