‘The Valley’ Star Addresses Cheating Rumors on WWHL

Michelle Saniei set the record straight on rumors that she cheated on her ex-husband Jesse Lally during their marriage. “The Valley” star answered rapid-fire questions from host Andy Cohen on the May 6 episode of “Watch What Happens Live.”

Straight away, Saniei denied cheating on Lally with her new boyfriend, Aaron Nosler. “No,” she told Cohen when asked if she cheated with the Kilo honey business owner.

When Cohen asked where she got Nosler’s honey brand when she was still with Lally, she explained, “A hiking trail called Runyon.” Saniei also presented Cohen with a bottle of white organic honey from Nosler’s brand.

Jesse Lally Accused Michelle Saniei Of Cheating on Him With Aaron Nosler

Saniei and Lally split up during filming for the first season of “The Valley.” Lally suspected that his wife was unfaithful to him during their six-year marriage.

In a scene from the season 2 episode “The Billionaire and the Boys Chat,” he told co-stars Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick of his suspicions. “I don’t actually know what’s going on with Michelle,” he said. “She’s most likely with her boyfriend for the last two years.”

In a confessional, he added, “Nothing about Aaron and Michelle adds up. I think there was a situation that happened with the two of them while I was married.”

He told Doute and Broderick, “She swears up and down that Aaron had said that he would never date a married woman or never date a woman with a kid. There’s too many things, like his honey company that’s been in my cabinet for two years.”

“There was a time Michelle got all done up one day, and she started to do these hikes in the morning — these walks to Runyon,” he continued, noting that his wife also left her wedding ring at home when she went on her hikes.

He also claimed he saw the honey company on Nosler’s Instagram profile, and things began to add up. “I remember going to Whole Foods, and I’d say [to Michelle], ‘I can’t find the honey.’ She goes, ‘I get it at a place near Runyon.’ Where is his house?” Lally asked Broderick and Doute, who replied, “Runyon.”

“Michelle and I had a conversation before the summer where she admitted to cheating on me,” Lally claimed in his confessional. “I’m 90 percent sure that this person was Aaron, and if it wasn’t, then she cheated on me twice.”

Michelle Saniei Says She Did Not have a Boyfriend When She Was With Jesse Lally

On WWHL, Saniei denied that she had a boyfriend while she was married to Lally. But she hinted at some sort of indiscretion.

“I did not have a boyfriend whatsoever,” she told Cohen. “At the end of my marriage, there was something that happened, and I made a mistake.”

“I was very clear, and I told Jesse, and I was very honest, so he knows the truth,” “The Valley” star added.
