Jessi Ngatikaurahas some things to say. In season 2 ofThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which premiered May 15 on Hulu, Marciano Brunette, a cast member of Hulu'sVanderpump Villa, claims that he and Jessi slept together. Marciano, 31, alleges this while talking toSLOMWcast member (and fellowMomTokmember)Layla Taylor. Jessi, who's married to husband Jordan Ngatikaura, addressed the allegations in a video she shared onInstagramand TikTok on May 16. "That ending though," she wrote in the thumbnail. In the video itself, Jessi lip syncs to a lyric from Ariana Grande's song "we can't be friends (wait for your love)": "Me and my truth, we sit in silence." She wrote in the caption, "I'll speak when I can 🤫" In the show, the other cast members mention the rumor that Jessi, 32, and Marciano were spotted in West Hollywood making out. Jessi denies its truth and says they are just friendly. She adds, "If I was dumb enough to do that, I wouldn't do it in public." Jessi and some of the other MomTok members appeared on the third episode ofVanderpump Villaseason 3. When Layla, 24, meets with Marciano during the last episode ofSLOMWseason two, she originally asks abouta rumor he was involved with castmate Demi Engemann. Marciano tells Layla there's no truth to that, but that there is truth to the rumor he was spotted kissing at TomTom. Jordan Ngatikaura/instagram Layla asked if they "made out" and Marciano says "more than that." He said they were still in contact and thatJessi's husband Jordandoesn't know "the truth" about "how extensive" their contact was. When Layla asked if they had sex, Marciano nodded. The episode ends there, but a short preview for future episodes showed Jessi denying the allegations and Jordan blaming Demi for the rumor. During the season, Zac Affleck — husband of castmember Jen Affleck — claims that Demi tried to get a cease and desist to stop Jen from spreading the rumor she was involved with Marciano. After Jessi posted her video, some of her cast members chimed in to support her. Mayci Neeley wrote in a TikTok comment, "Yes my queen." Mikayla Matthews added, "Truth always comes out ily." Layla also posted the video to her Instagram Story and wrote, "So proud of Jess and how she's handling all the noise. That [meet] up with Marciano was the opposite of what I expected, and I can't wait for the truth to be shown. I love you Jess." Jessi reposted that post to her story and wrote, "ILY" alongside a crying face and heart emoji.
