Tonight on Part 3

of "The Valley"
Season 2 Reunion...

Did you befriend people

like Scheana and Kristen
to get on TV?

I feel like the way
you're framing this

makes it sound like I have,
like, "Good As Gold" posters

all over my childhood bedroom.

No, I think that you're trying
to be someone that you're not.

Who's Frank Dremon?

- Frank Dremon.
- Frank Dremon.

I didn't know
you guys before cameras.

Okay, you weren't
the first couple to come over

and meet our children,
our daughters,

when they were born.
- Exactly. Exactly.

So, don't you dare
say we weren't friends.

We didn't know you
before filming.

- Before filming.
- Like a month or so?

That's wrong. Again, more lies.

If your girlfriend showed up
today, you know what I would do?

Okay, I--

Stick a mic on her
and get her in here.

- Yup. Amen.
- Amen.

- That's how it works.
- I wanna talk to her.

Bring her out.

Part 3 of "The Valley"
Reunion starts now.

On the "After Show,"
you said something like,

"Oh, I can't believe
it was brought up again,"

like I was bringing something--
- By Janet.

You are a clown, dude.
You're a total clown.

- You better never--
- Are you kidding me?

Blame everybody.
Blame everybody.

You know what? I'm actually glad
I've talked about it

a lot because...
- That's what--

No, just blame her, actually.

...it's happened
multiple times since.

You're saying that he has
touched other women's butts?

He's been inappropriate
and made women uncomfortable

multiple times since...

- Janet, that's a lie.
- That's a lie!

And you're really good at lying.

You're making it sound like
he is going out

and grabbing women when
he drinks, and that's wrong.

Until the behavior stops,

I don't feel bad
talking about this stuff.

And there's a couple people on
this stage that know about it.

- What?
- What?

- Michelle.
- So... Brittany--

- Aw, sh--.
- ...you mentioned that

you were--you felt uncomfortable
on your birthday around Danny.

- Yeah, she did say that.
- Well, Danny did get

pretty drunk, and you were,
like, following me around...

for a little bit,
but you didn't, like, make--

you didn't, like...
- Did I--

- ...touch on me or nothing.
- Of course.

His personality
just very much changed.

- Okay.
- And he started being

very flirtatious.

I don't really know
how to explain it,

but it wasn't that same kind as
what it was on Halloween.

- So I think that's important...
- Right.

- Well, I do, too.
- ...to specify, because

the way Janet talks about it.
- Well, that's why I said--

You just said he grabbed people.

No, I didn't say
he grabbed people.

Yeah, you did.
He said he did the same thing.

He's done things other times.

It wasn't just
Jasmine and Melissa.

Danny, Jasmine said in
Santa Barbara that she knows

you have a drinking problem.

Do you think you have
a drinking problem?

The only reason I said
I know you have one

is because of what you did.

You know,
I felt like there has to be

some kind of issue
or something with alcohol.

Do you think you have
a drinking problem?

No, I actually haven't
had a drink in a few weeks.

Everybody on the stage
has issues with alcohol,

to be honest with you.

- Huh?
- Well, let me ask you this.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- The fact that you won't

even admit that you have
any issues with it...

- Jason.
- ...that's not normal!

So do you have
a drinking problem?

It's a battle for me.
If I'm gonna choose to drink,

it's something that every time
I have to think about it.

You can't say everyone
on this stage has a problem

with alcohol.

That's just such
a bold-ass statement

to make about everybody.

Well, I guess I've never
hung out with Andy.

I didn't wanna get
all worked up and, like,

make this a thing
'cause they're good people.

- Sober.
- I didn't want this.

Like, they have
a beautiful family.

You just called me a clown.

- No, he is a...
- He's not a clown.

- You're name-calling.
- You're right.

That was immature. I shouldn't
have called you a name.

I could say not one of us think
that you're, like, a bad person.

I think it was
these certain incidents

that you just acted out
of your character.

Okay. Rumors about Jason
ditching his wedding band

was one ring toss game
that Janet refused to play.

I heard a rumor
that a year ago or so

Jasmine heard that you take
your ring off sometimes at bars.

Never.

Jasmine, Jason thinks
you made up the ring rumor.

How did you feel
accused of this by someone

that you were such pals with?

I was just hurt
that the fact you thought

that I really would go
out of my way to make up

a rumor about you
taking off your ring.

First of all, that's
the worst wack rumor

I've ever heard in my life.
Like, are you kidding me?

Because obviously, no one
believe it right off the bat.

Like, the wackest--
the wackest rumor.

Like, give me more respect.

I could do way better than that.

And maybe it was my fault
for speaking on it

when I was in frustration
with Janet,

but I didn't make this up,
and I didn't lie.

I-I was so surprised,

weeks after I thought
this had been put to bed,

by seeing, Janet, you and Jason
going to get the ring tattoos

to debunk a rumor that you said
you didn't care about.

It was not necessarily
to debunk.

It was also,
like, once this is out,

it feels like a can of worms.
You can't put it back.

And it was like,
I've been telling Jason,

Jason has never
had a tattoo before this.

I wanted him to get one. It felt
like kind of a fun excuse to,

like, make light of it.
- Make fun of themselves.

Make fun of ourselves,
make fun of the situation.

And I've kind of always
wanted a wedding band tattoo.

I thought it was cool,
and so we had a day of it.

Zack, you said it was comical
that Janet and Jason

laughed off the ring rumor
at the shark party

but later made a big deal of it.

- Why do you think they did that?
- I mean, I think they were like,

"Oh, well, I guess
this is our storyline."

And I think they went home
and thought about it.

At first, it's like,
I'm laughing this off

'cause I know it's not true.
- Right.

But it also
made me realize, like,

oh, our friendship is
not getting to a better place.

Like, that's not gonna
help us get to a peaceful place

this summer,
and I was bummed about that.

And also, it was a joke that,
like, Jason and I have

a pretty calm, boring marriage
in that sense, like--

So now you're relevant.

Do you owe Kristen an apology
for making you relevant?

No.

I mean, this is gonna be
out there publicly.

People are gonna be
questioning his character.

- You have to own up to that.
- People--People don't care.

The only people that perpetuated
this the whole summer long

were you two.
- No one talked about it

but you two.
- Not one person.

- Well--
- I don't mean this

in an asshole way, but it's
literally you're not important

for fans
to care that much about.

But after the shark party,
when you guys both laughed,

I looked right at you and I said
I was just being an asshole.

I said it out loud
because I was super frustrated

because I thought you were
going after Daniel so hard.

You hurt my friends.
I came after you.

I told you that to your face.
The four of us sat down.

Jason, you roll your eyes.
I'm being honest.

We hurt your friends.

What are you talking about,
we hurt your friends?

You guys said
I'm attacking them.

- "What are you talking about?"
- Yeah.

We're gonna get into that.

I told you to your face
I was just trying to be a bitch.

But why are we not allowed to
be mad about you being a bitch?

It's not that you're not allowed
to be mad, but you guys would

not shut the [bleep] up about it
for the whole entire summer.

We weren't even
talking to you about it.

I was actually more upset
at Jasmine

over this ring thing because I--
as her being the source,

all three of us had
an amazing friendship.

- I know.
- You guys say that

I make sh-- up, though.
- We weren't even

going after you, though,
during the season,

- I watched the show, Jason.
- So did I.

- You called me a liar.
- It was kind of

a sh--ty thing to say.
- And you said my reputation

and sh-- like that.
I do not have a reputation

of making things up
or being a liar.

- Exaggerating. Exaggerating.
- I have a reputation for

uncovering the truth
and not exaggerating.

- Is that your reputation?
- Uncovering the truth?

- Yes.
- And inserting myself in places

that are none of my business.
- Blurting things out.

Not being a liar,
not exaggerating,

not my reputation.

Jasmine, at the beach,
you screamed at Janet,

saying that she was
a sh--ass friend,

she's a vibe killer,
and she gives Karen energy.

What did Janet do
that made you so mad?

Um... I wanted
to talk to Jason,

and as I'm talking to Jason,
Janet's just spitting at me

like, "You're a snake.
You're a liar."

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
That didn't happen.

- You go, "Snake."
- If they have that footage,

they should roll it, because I
do not remember saying that.

Janet, you were like this.
You're like, "Snake, liar."

You were standing here--
You were like this.

- I did not say that.
- "Snake, liar."

If they have that footage,
they should show it.

That's why I was like, "Let me
talk." You wouldn't let me talk.

- They will.
- I would love that.

Because it didn't happen.
It didn't happen.

Please.

The ring thing,
I heard it years ago.

I didn't care then,
and I don't care now.

- How many years ago?
- Let me finish, Janet.

You're not cutting me off
'cause this is what you do.

- Let's--done, done, done.
- Janet.

You have been a sh--ass friend.
You are a----ing vibe killer.

You're exhausting.
You give Karen energy.

And I'm----ing done with it.
We're done! We're done!

- No.
- Yes, you did.

- He did.
- I called you a snake.

The biggest snake in the grass
was under my nose

the whole time.
- Okay, yes.

- I'm the biggest snake.
- They're leaving?

Ooh, big deal.

Anyway, you wouldn't
let me speak in that moment.

And I was just like,
"Let me speak to Jason,

explain to him the situation.
- Jason, were you surprised

to see Jasmine get upset
with you guys like that?

I mean, I think my face
in that scene showed it.

I was--I was shocked by that.

Do you feel like
you were manipulated at all?

Was I?

- Um...
- By who?

Me?

- Manipulated by people?
- Yes.

This season, watching it back?

I don't think so, no.

Who do you think she was
manipulated by--Kristen?

Listen, I watched the show.

It looked to me like
Kristen doesn't like Janet.

So she's talking to people
and saying like...

- No.
- "This is Janet. This is Janet.

This is Janet." Janet was like
the scapegoat for everyone.

I watched the show.
You guys were the ones

talking about Janet.
- What show did you watch?

I know.
You watched as her husband.

I swear to God.

What the [bleep] show
were you watching?

Coming up
on "The Valley" Reunion...

You said you fired everyone
from Season 1...

...because you didn't like
your edit.

I don't have
that kind of control.

- We know!
- We know that!

Will you lead us
in a prayer, Brittany, later?

Yeah, sure.

- Your hair looks great.
- Thank you.

Very pretty.
Your hair looks good too, Jax.

I'm not happy with it,
but it's okay.

Jax, can we admit now that
the hair loss party you had,

you didn't have a bald spot?

I did. Look.

Zack might be able to
introduce you to a good wig guy.

We are back with "The Valley"
Season 2 Reunion.

Jasmine,
we've seen you yell at Janet

and then make up with Janet.

How do you really feel
about her?

Listen, I have been friends
with her the longest

out of everybody here,

and she's always gonna be
like family--family to me.

You know, like,
I feel like you fight

with your siblings,
you fight with your friends.

That's just what we do.

I fight with Zack
all the----ing time.

But I just want you to know
there was never, like,

"Oh, my God, I hate Janet"
type of thing.

I think there's different layers
of issues that we have

that we need to, like,
talk about, because, like,

our friendship
hasn't been the same.

Like, we don't talk at all,
you know? And that does hurt.

But I don't hate you.
There's no, like... there.

You know, I think
there's a lot of love there.

Melissa made a good point.

We were watching, and, um,
you guys were crying

in your house,
and I was crying at home.

I just, like, don't
understand what's going on.

Jasmine's been a close friend
for many years,

and I feel like she's
discarding our friendship.

She doesn't have the same care
for me that I have for her.

So it's honestly really sad.

Melissa's like,
"See, there's love there.

You guys, like, clearly love
each other," and I know that--

There's love, but there's still
sh--talking, Jasmine. Come on.

Of course. No, there is, and I
think the problem is, like--

We have a group chat
that you just talk sh--.

No, I get that.
I am upset with her,

and I said that there's things
that we need to talk about.

So, like, you have
to be fair about that.

- Yes, I know that.
- You do talk sh-- about her.

It was just kind of like
a buildup of things,

and I think I let--I let--
- Janet stopped

acting like herself?
- Yes, a little bit.

Don't say that. That's not true.

And I let a lot of things
brush under the rug with us.

And like I said,
that's my fault. Yes.

Well, I wish you would have
come to me as a friend.

And I'm saying I should have
came to you and be like,

"Hey, I have this issue,"
but at the time, I kind of

just felt like,
what is the point?

Because I didn't think
it would get to you.

Who here thinks Janet's a Karen?

I don't--okay, here's my thing.
It was Karen energy.

She said Karen energy.
She didn't say she's a Karen.

I didn't call her a Karen.
It was the energy was giving,

and I think it was just more of,
like, just exhausted of you,

like, the whole Zack stuff
and, like, Kristen

and just hearing things,
and I should have maybe came

to you and be like, "Hey,
this is how I feel." I didn't.

It's clear that the three of you
care about each other...

- Yes, of course.
- ...a lot, so are you three

good right now?
- We're at a place, you know,

when we see each other,
that we're cordial.

Um, I have nothing...

I have nothing
bad to say about you or Melissa.

I have a lot of love
for you guys.

I think you guys
are great people.

The hardest thing about this
for me was that

I do like you guys so much.

You guys are the people that
come over in sweatpants and cook

and play games and, like...
- Yeah.

...you guys are
real friends, you know?

- Yeah.
- I miss you guys.

Yeah. I mean, our relationship's
not the same like it used to be.

Let's keep that real, 100.

You know, but, I mean,
maybe one day? I don't know.

- I would hope so, and...
- Yeah.

...I think we all feel that way.

Okay. All right.
Um, after a 30-day stint,

Jax left the mental health
treatment facility

and seemed intent on
picking up

right where he left off
with the group.

Now, Jax, the night
before you returned home,

some of your friends rebranded
your bar, uh, Britt's Bar.

Oh, my God! Shut up!

Welcome to Britt's!

You were upset when
you found out about that, right?

I mean, who--
who wouldn't be upset?

I mean, was it--
I understand why they did it,

but taking my signs
and throwing it in the garbage

was a little much.
- That was a different situation.

That wasn't my party?
Or your party?

It wasn't Britt's Bar.

It was whenever me and Jasmine
went to talk to Schwartz,

and I was telling them
everything

that you had just done.
- And I wasn't there for that.

No, you weren't there
for any of it.

It was really, uh, it was
hurtful, obviously, and just--

By the way, they were trying to
prop her up was the point of it.

No, I understand.
I understand. So--

- It was all very positive.
- Maybe if you saw

their intention was trying
to help her out of a--

I understand,
but it's still hurtful.

The bar never got to be
about her, and she worked

so hard on it
and put money into it.

- More than you.
- And it's all about you.

Even when you were in rehab,
I was keeping that place afloat.

Zack, are you allowed
into Jax's bar?

- No.
- It's really funny that Jax has

such this animosity towards just
me or can forgive anybody else.

But what I wanna say is I used
to be the biggest Jax apologist.

I was there every single time
when she was broken down,

and I had to pick her up,
or when he would break down,

and I would hold him
while he cried.

And for him to turn so hard
on her and on me

just out of nowhere,
it just shows--

It's the stuff you're
saying on social media.

I mean, what do you
want me to do?

Okay, yeah. The things I say
on social media, excuse me,

are literally
not even remotely close

to what I would say about you
if I was,

like, right now, to your face.

I-I don't care, though.
You're nobody to me.

- I don't care.
- I actually miss our friendship.

I don't care
what you have to say.

And I think--I want you
to be a better person.

I don't really care
what you want.

And you wanna prove
that you don't have

this control issue,
that you can be better,

then work on it with the people
that are in her life.

- Yeah.
- I agree.

Is Frank Dremon allowed
in your bar?

Who?

Have you seen
any of the episodes?

Did you know that we talked
about it on the show?

- You didn't watch the show.
- I don't know.

Frank Dremon.

- He doesn't get it!
- We've all seen the show. Yeah.

You haven't. He's the only
person here that hasn't watched,

so he has no idea
what he's talking about.

- He doesn't watch the show.
- Oh, my--my, uh, my, uh,

my burner account?
- Hold on, hold on.

- Who's Frank Dremon?
- Frank Drebin from "Naked Gun."

- Oh.
- You ever seen "Naked Gun"?

- And--And who is Frank Dremon?
- It's my burner account, yeah.

- It's your burner account.
- We outed you.

- She outed you.
- It's not a big deal, you know?

You don't know what you did.

You commented on some post
about you

and said, "Jax is the man."
- Huh?

- "Legend. Jax is the show."
- "Jax is a legend."

"What man wouldn't feel
this way?"

"What man wouldn't
feel this way about himself?

He is the legend."
- That ego.

That was honestly
the most fun I had all summer.

That was hilarious.

Like, at least do it
under your real name.

And then you DM'd me on accident
from the account.

So it was, like,
proof that it was yours.

Oh, my God.
That was the best part.

- Jax.
- Whatever.

Come on. Don't you know if you
have a burner, you just look?

Are you still commenting
as Frank "Dre-mon"?

No, I haven't used that account
in a while, actually.

- But, uh, it's Dremon.
- Dremon. Frank Dremon?

It's Leslie Nielsen
from "The Naked Gun."

- Oh, my God.
- Don't butcher his burner name.

- Dre-mon sounds better, though.
- Frank Dremon. It's Dremon.

- Frank Dremon.
- Um, Jax, Brittany said

you were selling one of
her Jenny Craig bags on eBay.

Yeah.

So funny.
In one of his eBay listings,

you can see his bunion.

I sold a bunch of stuff on eBay.

- Did you?
- So I've had this eBay account

for a very long time, right?

So we have all this stuff
that we get for merch

and all that stuff,

and it's been sitting in
the garage for----ing ever.

A lot of this was during COVID.

I was like,
we need to make some money.

Like, you know,
and I was just selling.

- And you were able to sell it?
- I sold a lot of stuff.

Wow.

Kristen, Jax decided to come
to Benji's welcome home party

even though he wasn't invited.

- Pulled a Doute, right?
- You had the conversation

with Zack where you said...
- I shouldn't have been--

- I shouldn't have been there.
- ...it was your show.

It's my show. My show. My show.

- My show, not yours.
- It wasn't for the past 30 days.

I mean, wasn't telling
Lisa Vanderpump

that "Vanderpump Rules" was

your show in season eight...
- Yeah.

...kind of the beginning
of the end for you?

Probably.

This is why my show
is successful. This is--

It's actually not your show.
It's actually my show, okay?

- I know, but this is why.
- And I put your ass on it,

so don't be----ing
disrespectful to me.

Okay. Let's not talk about that.

Raise your hand if Jax
has referred

to this show as his show.

- We're all lucky to be here.
- Well, it's true.

None of this would have happened
if I didn't start this up.

- Is this Jax's show, everybody?
- No. No.

He was gone for 30 days,
and nobody missed him.

You said you fired everyone
from Season 1...

...because you didn't like
your edit.

I never said that. I don't have
that kind of control.

- We know!
- We know that!

No kidding.

- But that's what you say.
- Oh, my God.

Coming up
on "The Valley" Reunion...

Luke, Brittany felt left out

that she wasn't included
on the boat for the engagement.

You ended up telling Jax about
Kristen and Luke's engagement.

You didn't do that
out of revenge.

All right, settling.

Everybody looking at Andy.
Stand by.

Historically speaking,
it's very difficult

to surprise Kristen Doute.

So Luke, Nia, and Danny
invited the gang to Maui

for a covert proposal operation,
hoping to elude Detective Doute.

Uh, Luke from hooking up
at a wedding

in the bushes
to getting engaged,

when did you know
Kristen was the one?

When? It was a long road trip
we did.

There were 5,000 miles
in the car with four dogs.

- It was pretty hellish. And we--
- The circumstances.

We were great
throughout the entire thing.

Never got after each other.

And on the way back,
it was a moment that's like,

holy sh--,
am I ever gonna find somebody

that could get through
this kind of chaos with me?

- Aw.
- Might as well lock her down.

And you had not watched
"Vanderpump Rules"?

No. Uh, for the podcast,
we recapped season one.

Other than that, no.

They were already
together at that point.

And he was like,
"I can't do this anymore."

We were already together
at that point.

- Yeah, I bet
- He was like, "No."

I was like, "We're gonna
skip 2 and 3."

- Right.
- "And then we can move forward."

And he's like, "I actually don't
wanna watch any of this."

Kristen, when did you know
that Luke was the one?

Um, I would say, like
the first six or seven months,

I was very, very much into him,
but very much like,

I don't want to be.
It's what I do.

I jump from relationship
to relationship,

and we didn't
live by each other.

And like, well,
it was just all the logistics

that I was just
pushing it away, like,

nothing's gonna work,
but this is gonna be super fun.

Like, he's young. He's
eight years younger than me.

Blah, blah, blah.
So sometime after that,

when he said, "I love you"...

- Said, "I love you" early.
- Really early.

- Before the road trip.
- Is he the first one to say it?

- Yeah.
- Nice.

Honestly, I backtracked
after I said it.

I'm like, "You know, like,
I really have love for you.

I'm not in love with you."
- Yeah, "I'm not, like,

in love with you,
but, like, I love you."

And he was, like, shaking
and sweating, and I was like--

well, he's like, "I wanna
tell you something, but..."

Let's see the ring.
Show the camera.

- Whoo-whoo.
- Bam.

Whoo.

Beautiful.
Were you happy with it?

Uh, yeah, it's perfect.

It's way bigger than what
I told him I ever wanted.

I'm not, like,
a big, flashy person,

but I was like, okay.
- I love it.

- It's over 4 carats, right?
- It's so perfect.

It's a lot of carats.

Were you genuinely surprised
by the proposal?

- Absolutely shocked.
- Really?

I knew--I knew one day for sure
he was gonna do it,

but definitely didn't think
it was gonna be on camera.

It's actually something
we talked about before.

- It is.
- And just not at that time.

I thought maybe like
next year or something.

Luke, Danny, and Nia,
you really need to be commended.

Kristen is known
for cracking cases.

Mm-hmm. That's true.

You guys were able
to pull it off.

- Yeah.
- Can't believe it.

Brittany felt left out
that she wasn't included

on the boat for the engagement.

Why didn't you include
Brittany,

knowing that she's one
of Kristen's best friends?

I think you saw it
play out why--

Brittany and I
did talk about it--

is that Jax has a big mouth.

And if I had included her early,
her chances of slipping to Jax

and then it getting out
and not being a surprise,

that was the risk I saw
and chose not to take.

Brittany, you ended up
telling Jax

about Kristen and Luke's
engagement.

- Ugh. Worst mistake of my life.
- Can't believe that.

You didn't do that out
of revenge

for not being included.
- No! No.

Even Kristen and Luke know I did
not do that out of revenge.

And I'm--
And I'm so----ing sorry.

- God, no.
- I swear.

I would never do that to them.

Jax immediately put it
in the guys group chat.

Yes, and I will say
I gave him...

He did. He gave me
a hard time about it.

...I gave him a very hard time
about it. Like, real hard.

I honestly thought it was--

I'm sorry.
I don't know what I was doing.

ing group chat.

Kristen, how did you feel
about Janet and Jason

deciding to skip
the engagement luau?

Yeah, I mean,
I think that was... smart.

I mean, if they had been there,

it wouldn't have, like,
pissed me off.

Like, I don't even--nothing was
gonna ruin that night.

We wouldn't have come
guns blazing or anything.

Of course. Yeah, I didn't--

I don't think it would have
mattered either way.

But since they, you know,
like, offered it, that was nice.

They weren't
in a good place at all.

Like, this is
the happiest day of her life.

She doesn't necessarily wanna
see someone she doesn't like

staring at her, and Janet
doesn't wanna put on a T-shirt

that has her face on it,
so it's sort of like, okay,

the thing that makes the most
logical sense is to skip it.

Yeah.

Looking back, was it everything
you hoped it could be?

- Beyond.
- Yeah.

Like, beyond. Absolutely.

And I have to say, Kristen,
having known you

for so many years
on and off television,

you have always had a certain
level of chaos surrounding you.

And it's been
really fun to see you...

- More mellow.
- Yeah, it's been really nice.

And you two really seem
to complement each other.

Yeah, he loves me for who I am,
and he handles me very well.

Aw.

- Yeah!
- Aw.

We need to take a break.
We'll be right back.

Coming up,
the Reunion continues.

I didn't know you guys
before cameras.

You weren't the first couple to
come over and meet our children?

- Exactly.
- So, don't you dare say

we weren't friends.
We didn't know you

before filming.
- Before filming.

Again, more lies.

We're back
with "The Valley" Reunion.

I'm Andy Cohen.

Fittingly, Kristen and Luke's
Hawaiian engagement

was capped off
with a few volcanic eruptions

from their friends.

Jesse, did you have
a plan going into Hawaii

to confront Aaron or have
a conversation with him?

I did always wanna
have the conversation.

And I kept saying, well,
you know, my girlfriend called

Michelle to set boundaries,
but Aaron never did.

And then I had this realization,
well, I'm also a man.

I could call Aaron
and set my own boundaries.

And were you happy
with the conversation?

It seemed to go well.

So there was
some intense moments,

but there was a lot of, like,
I looked at him

in the eyes and saying,
"Man to man, I trust you"

or "I believe you."

Did you or did you not
cross a line

when I was married to Michelle?
- No.

Um, and it was
a good conversation.

Um, Michelle,
what did Aaron tell you

about the conversation when
you got back to your room?

I mean, he said it
went well overall,

and I think
they got along in Hawaii.

I mean, you saw the--
the lap picture.

- Yeah, the photo of them.
- That was the next morning.

Jesse was sitting
on Aaron's lap.

They were having fun.

Okay, well, I'm glad things are
positive between you and Aaron.

I mean, we're gonna have
to eventually move forward.

And, you know, they're happy.
They wanna move forward.

So, like, what's--
what's the point

of holding any animosity,
I think?

So, Kristen, you leveled
an insult at Janet

when you told Brittany in Hawaii

that she was a fan
of "Vanderpump Rules."

She came into the group how?

- Scheana.
- As a fan.

And that's where kind of
all of this comes from.

Why is being a fan
of "Vanderpump Rules" creepy?

Being a fan of the show is not.

And like I said kind of
in the beginning,

it was because of how
she changed so much

as soon as Season 1 started.

Like, another example
I didn't even bring up--

when Jax brought
my ex-boyfriend on Season 1.

So, I invited him here.

Why would I give this guy
a chance?

- Okay--
- Why would I want to be friends

with the ex of my girlfriend?

I just wanna make sure
that you're getting

all the right stories.

And then I see
her----ing interview bites,

and she's, like, blaming me

for the relationship
with that guy

when she was literally one
of my best and closest friends.

I've seen you do things in that
relationship that were wrong,

and I've heard you tell me
you made a huge mistake

or you did something
you shouldn't do.

So, when she kind of changed
this narrative

to Alex is the villain
and that she's the victim,

it made me look and go, like,
we all know that's not true.

And you're sitting there
badmouthing me on camera,

and I was floored.

Did you befriend people

like Scheana and Kristen
to get on TV?

- No.
- It's not honest.

No. I mean,
I feel like the way you're

framing this makes it sound
like I have, like,

"Good As Gold" posters
all over my childhood bedroom.

No, I think that you're trying
to be someone that you're not.

Like, which if I did...

♪ Because we're good as gold

Scheana would have told
everybody.

She would have
loved that so much.

I think you've
developed an alter ego,

and that's who you are
on camera.

I didn't change
when we got on camera.

We were bad for a year
before filming.

- And we, too--
- Janet, you--it's like you have

an alter ego, and that's
who you act like on camera.

- Oh, my gosh.
- You act like someone different

when you're on camera.
- There's no specific example.

- Yep.
- Okay, Yeah.

- We've said so many examples.
- I am not the only person

that said this. Jasmine--
- Yeah, you guys didn't even

know us
before we started filming.

- Jasmine agreed. They agreed.
- Yeah, I didn't know you guys

before cameras.
- How are you gonna say

she changed?
- You weren't the first couple

to come over and meet
our children, our daughters

when they were born?
- Exactly.

The first couple dancing
with our son in our living room?

We didn't know you
before we were filming?

That was when we first were
getting to know each other.

One time I've been
to your house.

The one time we didn't go
to LACMA together.

I've been to your place
one time.

We haven't spent time
at group gatherings together.

The time that we invited you
to our children--

We loved you guys. You were
the first friends to meet

our daughters
when they were born.

Because we really hit it off,
and I--

- Exactly.
- Exactly, so don't you dare say

we weren't friends. We didn't
know you before filming.

- Before filming.
- That's wrong.

- Like, a month before?
- Again, more lies.

In, like, May,
when Brittany wanted

to have everyone over so we
could all just hang out more

before filming,
she had a pool party.

You, me, Michelle, and Brittany
were all hanging out.

- I can't stand them lying...
- I know. Just calm down.

...over and over
and over again.

Why did you ask me if
you were welcome in my home for

Ariana's birthday if everything
was perfect back then?

- I didn't say it was perfect.
- But okay, everything was good.

- I'm saying you and I...
- It wasn't like this.

...were friends for a long time,
and when you started filming,

you acted differently.

Well, when we started filming,
you announced that I said

Michelle was racist,
which I didn't.

And that changed a lot for me.

Oh, my God.
I didn't make it up.

So, Janet, on the boat,
on the last night in Hawaii,

you said Danny had
sexually assaulted, uh, Jasmine.

I said out loud, yes,
that he sexually assaulted

Jasmine and Michelle
or Jasmine and Melissa

at the bar.
- All right. Bye! I'm done. Nope.

She does not get to----ing say

Danny sexually assaulted
someone.

You had just made peace
with Danny and Nia in the pool.

- Mm-hmm.
- Why go there?

Honestly,
once we started talking,

Kristen said, "You've
been attacking Danny and Nia.

You've been attacking
Danny and Nia."

And I felt like
I'm not attacking somebody.

This guy did
something pretty horrible,

and I think
we have to address that.

So I thought it was serious.
She thought it was serious.

- Yeah.
- And I used the legal term

for the definition
of what he did.

'Cause it hadn't been addressed
already, like, 40 times, right?

Well, why did you bring their
names into that conversation?

You attacked them,
so I was being a bitch.

- Right, and I guess...
- That's exactly what I said.

...the reason I was talking
about Danny and Nia

is 'cause of his actions.
- I wasn't bringing up Danny

and Nia--I just said that's why
I was an asshole to you.

Kristen said
you were attempting to ruin

someone's life
who doesn't deserve it.

- Yeah.
- Were you?

Um, I guess if you do
the things you did,

I think you are responsible
for your actions,

not me talking
about your actions.

If--If the allegations
against you were not true,

that would absolutely be on me,

that I was trying
to just ruin your life.

But I think
that if you put your hands

on women without their consent,
you have to own up to that.

So touching someone's butt
is sexual assault?

- Yeah, by definition.
- It's actually, like, battery.

- Yeah.
- We looked it up.

- Battery?
- 'Cause you're touching.

Assault isn't necessarily
a touching.

A battery is a touching.

Saying those words are--
are very, very powerful, and--

Okay, well, don't do the things
that classify

as a definition of them.
- I have owned up to the--

I've owned up to those things
and apologized over and over.

He's owned it,
taking accountability,

and will continue to,
because that's his character.

But this was--we had just
did multiple apologies

to each other.
- To try to get a good place.

We were trying to get
on a better place.

- And we wanted to be there.
- And then the next day,

you start throwing these words
around like crazy.

When I'm being told
I'm attacking you guys,

I'm going to respond to it.
- Which Melissa then--

And Melissa even yelled at you
and said, "Enough."

It's not--you're
collateral damage in this.

Can you all please stop talking
about me and Jasmine?

Shut the [bleep] up!
We're through.

You, Janet.
She's talking about you.

Great.

You guys are collateral damage
in this conversation

between Kristen and Janet.
- You attacked me.

Jasmine and Melissa,
like, literally,

Melissa yelled at you.
- I mean, you know,

you're using a loaded term.
- Why did you use the term?

Definition? Yeah,
she's not wrong, I guess.

When Jasmine and I first talked
about this, I said to her,

when she said,
"He was grabbing, you know,

this person's ass,
Melissa's ass, my thighs,

making sexually explicit
comments, 'Call me Daddy,'"

I said, "You know
that's sexual assault?"

And she said,
"Yes, and it's not fair.

This happens all the time
to women.

And none of these guys--
none of these idiot men,"

I think you said, "ever have
to face consequences for it."

Coming up...

You heard that Jax had slept
with his staff at the bar?

You came in with one
of your ladies to a bar

where I was at.
I didn't follow you home, but--

Jax Taylor should not own a bar.
He's got a lot of issues.

Jasmine and I talked about this.

She said, "He was
grabbing this person's ass,

Melissa's ass, my thighs,

making sexually explicit
comments, 'Call me Daddy.'"

I said, "You know
that's sexual assault?"

She said,
"Yes, and it's not fair.

This happens
all the time to women,

and none of these idiot men,"
I think you said...

- Yeah.
- "...ever have

to face consequences for it."
- You're just trying to make them

- ing look bad!
- Yeah, we definitely should.

We should definitely sweep that
behavior under the rug so that--

No one's sweeping
anything under the rug.

Who's sweeping under the rug?

- You're trying to.
- No! This has been talked about!

- It was addressed 20 times.
- Time and time and time!

Over and over and over again.

I'm being asked
about it right now.

Like, what the [bleep]
do you keep bringing it up for

when it was talked about?

First of all, hold on a second.

The only person that should be
able to say what it was

is Jasmine and Melissa.
- Agreed.

- Thank you.
- Agreed.

And Jasmine's agreeing with me.

in the beginning, yes.
I was very upset.

That's why Melissa said,
"Stop talking about it," Janet.

Nobody wants you
to talk about it.

And after she asked me
to stop talking about it...

- Yes. Yeah.
- ...other than when

I've had to in interviews,
I apologized to them.

- Yes, thank you for that.
- And I stopped.

Yes, and it was like,
are we ever gonna get past this?

Like, 'cause now
I'm getting angry,

and it's gonna make me
get more angry at Danny again.

By show of hands,
who thinks that Janet

was being reckless
in using that term?

I think she was
coming from a good place.

But at the same time,
I think it just went...

I wanna know what
you were trying to accomplish.

It was not a good place.

She was coming
from a malicious place.

What were you trying
to accomplish

by saying that term on repeat?
- What would you have preferred?

Groped, molested? Like, what--
what would you have preferred?

- Oh, my God.
- Molested?

He made a mistake,
and he apologized.

- That's not okay to do.
- No, no.

That's a lie! That's a lie.
You're such a liar.

She's lying.

- We need to clear this up.
- Hold on!

As an attorney,
is it potentially defamatory?

Are you serious?

- A workman's comp attorney!
- I also went to law school.

You're a----ing
workman's comp attorney.

- She's lying.
- But you also say it's not--

- I can't.
- You can't--nothing could happen

in a court of law.

If she had pressed charges
for touching the ass...

I mean, I doubt that, like,
the DA would pick it up.

It's not like--
there's not a lot of damages.

It's like
a bad thing that happened,

but it's not, like, you know,
he's gonna do jail time for it.

- So then why use the term?
- Thank you.

That's where
I think it got thrown off.

Okay, you know what?
I'll never use the term again.

I can speak on why
she used the term.

- And she loves to hurt people.
- She's an evil person.

- Exactly.
- And she loves drama,

and she loves attention.
- Yeah.

Okay, Nia,
you wanted to say what?

I just feel like there
needs to be clarity because

there are words and things
that are thrown around

that are not true.
You have said multiple times,

"This has happened multiple
times over and over again."

When you say "multiple times,"
you're literally trying...

- And this has happened.
- Yeah.

...to assassinate his character
as a person.

To put things out there that
have not happened are not okay.

Okay.

You know that those words
can ruin, like...

Yeah, there's lots of words
that have been dropped

among this cast
that can ruin people.

- Stop deflecting.
- You said Michelle

was a whore on camera.

- I didn't say that.
- He never said those words!

- Another lie!
- You said...

- What?
- "I heard that Michelle sleeps

with a billionaire
for $1,500 a night" on camera.

Is that not damaging
to her reputation?

- See, you are lying, Janet.
- Is that--you put words

out there that I didn't say.
- Or putting bad words out there.

Are we not allowed
to paraphrase?

- Yeah.
- She's saying this is

damaging for everybody.
Google my name.

Now it seems that I'm a hooker.

Daniel never said
Michelle's a whore.

- Prostitute?
- Danny said that she is

sleeping with men for money.

What a bunch of dumbasses.

You just have all of this wrong.
It's wild.

Okay.

I feel stupid
listening to them talk.

- Um, let's move on.
- It is just ridiculous.

- I can't deal with her.
- Oh, my God.

I can't
with any of this right now.

- I can't.
- Crazy.

Let's switch gears.
After the gang

returned home from Hawaii,
Michelle threw a Zen party.

But all the koi fish
and bonsai trees in the world

couldn't bring peace
to this chaotic friend group.

Brittany, the last time we saw
you and Zack together

in the show,
he was screaming at you.

I know. How have things been

between the two of you,
uh, since filming wrapped?

Oh, my God. I love Zack.

We are together every
single week, multiple times.

I talk to him every single day.

We are much, much better,
in a better place.

I was so shocked that night
and watching it back

because I was nowhere
near the conversation.

You know what
that bitch has done.

- Don't be pointing in my face.
- No, but what

that bitch has done!
- I have your back.

Calm down, calm down.

- So, you two are good? Okay.
- But it kind of shocked me.

- Yeah. Oh, yeah. I love him.
- You two are good.

- Yeah.
- And you two have been buddies

for, like, 20 years?

- Yes.
- Where did you meet?

I used to cheer for EKU,
and one of my friends

that cheered with me,
he dated with. He dated.

- You dated a cheerleader?
- Yeah.

And then me and Zack
stayed best friends,

and eventually
the other guy got crazy.

Um, Danny, Jax stopped
inviting you to things

towards the end of the summer.

You were essentially
getting blocked by Jax.

Why do you think he did that,
and how did it make you feel?

I think he did it because

he wanted to be able
to talk behind my back.

And then
he would just go off and say,

"Oh, he's probably
out drunk somewhere,"

when I was literally at home...
- At home with our kids,

...putting our kids to bed.

Is that why you said
that you heard that Jax

had slept
with his staff at the bar?

He's a narcissist.
He's a pathological liar.

- But now he's also--
- We're not gonna be

calling names. It is what it is.
- But now he also, like, saying,

"I'm a narcissist,
and I've looked it up."

He sleeps with his staff.

- Yeah.
- I didn't know that.

- You all have heard that rumor?
- Yes.

- Who? Who?
- There was a rumor

about one of them.
- What staff member?

- I know.
- Tell me who.

I figured out
that one wasn't true.

I have two girls
that work there.

Unless there's another girl
that I don't know.

- Three people that work there.
- But there was

definitely a rumor about it.
- Yeah, there was a rumor,

but I've never slept
with my staff.

Remember, I went crazy on you
about it because--

- Yeah, she did.
- I heard also...

- And that's where--
- ...from some of your friends

that go there
quite often as well.

They made jokes about it
because it was at a bar.

- Luke, what do you know?
- You came in with one

of your ladies to a bar
where I was at.

I don't know if you guys
went home and banged or not,

but I know you were
having mixed--

- One of your employees.
- Can you tell me what

she looked like? I don't know
if it was a girl from the bar.

Blonde.
I didn't follow you home, but--

Jax Taylor should not own a bar.
He's got a lot of issues.

All right, Jesse,
I heard that even though

she wanted nothing
to do with the season,

your girlfriend came
to Michelle's Zen party.

Yeah. At the end of the night,
I was supposed to be

at a birthday dinner
for her at Chateau,

and, uh, she called and said,
"Are you guys done?"

And I said, yeah.
So she came by.

Um, Michelle,
how were your interactions

with Jesse's girlfriend
that night?

It was terrible.

Um... they were not good.

But I don't feel comfortable
talking about it.

My lawyer said that I shouldn't.

I heard that you had
a massive screaming match

after cameras went down.

She's told not to talk
about it because of her threats.

- Got it.
- That's why she's not

wanting to talk about it.

Guys, can we, like, not
do this sh-- on season 3?

This, like, legal----ing--
Just, can we film a show?

- And I--And I--And I honestly--
- It's so exhausting.

That was nobody's fault
but hers.

We're gonna talk
about stuff like that.

I'm actually not talking
about it.

She's not here
to defend herself.

Well, I know she showed up
at an all-cast event.

- Like, at 10:30 when--
- And then made a legal threat.

It was very clear that everybody
was still filming.

They picked up cameras
and put a boom over our head

as soon as she walked in
the restaurant.

As they should have.
They were doing their job.

- Yeah.
- If your girlfriend

showed up today,
you know what I would do?

Stick a mic on her
and get her in here.

- Yep. Amen.
- Amen.

- That's how it works.
- This is a hot set.

- Yeah.
- It was a--

This is a show
called "The Valley."

- Mm-hmm.
- That's your girlfriend?

I wanna talk to her.
Bring her out.

Let's get her on the phone.

You understand?

Yeah.

Okay. We'll be right back.

Coming up
after the break...

Janet, I feel like if you can
take accountability

for the things you've done,

and I'll take the accountability
for the things I've done...

Well, we could start by maybe

tonight you could unblock
each other.

Five... four...

three to the jib...

two...

We are back
with final thoughts

from "The Valley"
Season 2 Reunion.

Now, reunions aren't
just about rehashing the season.

They're also about
charting a path forward.

And I just wanna hit
on a couple relationships

and see where we're at.

You know, Jesse and Michelle,
I would love to

bring back the exercise
from Santa Barbara.

I'm wondering if each of you
could say something nice

about each other.

- Jesse, you start.
- Oh, Lord.

Um... I loved Michelle
for a very long time,

and we had an amazing start
to our relationship.

And I think she's
gonna prosper and grow.

And I think
she found somebody that, like,

gives her the nurturing
and sort of the, um,

the attention she always needed.

Okay. Michelle.

I mean, I've always said
that Jesse is a great father,

and I never wanted
to take Isabella,

and I...like seeing
the moments that you guys

are together on camera.

And it's very nice to know
that you're a great father.

- Isabella's hilarious.
- She is so great.

She can have her own show.

- Spinoff!
- I love her.

Jason, do you feel resolved,
pretty much?

I don't...

It's tough because
I wanted certain things

to go differently.

It's sad. Um...

It's tough. It's just--
It's a tough experience.

Zack, do you have anything
that you wanna say to the group?

I mean, I think
at least one person.

Janet...

I feel like if
you can take accountability

for the things you've done,
and I'll take the accountability

for the things I've done,
maybe we can move forward

and... make Brittany's life
a little easier.

I'm like, yes, please!

Well, we could start
by maybe tonight

you could unblock each other
from social media.

- He is unblocked.
- Yeah, I blocked her this time.

- He is unblocked.
- Yeah. I'm blocked on his.

Yeah. So she unblocked me,
and then I blocked her.

- Okay, so, Zack.
- I will. Okay.

- Here, you want me to do it now?
- Yes.

- Okay, I'll do it right now.
- Very nice. Wow.

- I'm watching.
- Now, Janet, you can get a taste

of all the content
that Zack is serving.

- I'm sure I've missed so much.
- Yes.

Does anyone care
that I have Zack blocked or...

Oh, you do?
I didn't even notice.

Jax, congratulations
on your sobriety.

Thank you.

- I hope you keep building on it.
- Me, too.

Where's your headspace
as you leave tonight?

My main objective here
was just obviously

to talk to Brittany
and just to move forward

and be peaceful
to each other

and be amazing co-parents
to our son and...

just be peaceful to each other.
I-I know I've done a lot,

and I'm hoping
that she can forgive me one day.

I'm not saying today.

We have to be in each other's
lives for a long time,

and I think...
I've done a lot,

and I just hope she can
find it in her heart

to forgive me one of these days.

Was tonight a good start,
do you think, Brittany?

- I don't know.
- We'll see.

It's hard. It's gonna take a lot
for him to prove to me

that he's actually changing.

And I'm sorry,
but that's just the truth.

All right.

Well, it is tradition
to end with a toast,

but with two new babies
on the way,

tequila shots didn't feel
like the right move.

- Sorry, guys.
- So we have mocktails

served in baby bottles.

Okay, so who in the group
is the toast giver?

- It's actually Brittany.
- Brittany probably.

- It's Brittany.
- Absolutely not Jesse.

We'll be here for another hour.

I'm definitely the toast giver,
but we don't have time for that.

Oh, wow. These are glass.
These are nice bottles.

- Okay.
- Do we get to keep

these bottles after?
- All right.

- Brittany Cartwright...
- Oh, Lord, pressure.

...bring us out with the toast.

Okay, I just want to say
congratulations

on everybody for Season 2,
and I know it's not easy.

I think everybody,
like, really shared a lot.

And I just hope
that we can continue this on.

New friendships,
old friendships.

I just hope that we can all
come to a better place,

because I love
every single one of you.

- Cheers to that.
- And may this upcoming year

be the best days of our lives.

- Cheers.
- Cheers, everybody.

- Cheers!
- Cheers.

Good night.

Well, congratulations
on your first reunion.

- Broke your cherry.
- Whoo!

- We did it.
- One, two.

- Smile.
- With Jax.

- We made it through.
- That was crazy.

- Get me outta here. Ready to go.
- Yeah.
