Stream Now on During a zen party<\/a> that was anything but on The Valley<\/a> Season 2 finale, Michelle Saniei<\/a> made a bold statement: \u201cIf Jesse [Lally]<\/a> and I can get along, then I think everyone can get along.\u201d<\/p>\n Fast forward to Part 1 of the reunion, which aired on July 29, and the estranged couple\u2019s relationship was once again on the rocks. Although Jesse called their coparenting \u201cpretty good when it comes to decisions for Isabella<\/a>,\u201d he then added: \u201cI know that [Michelle] weaponizes Isabella. I weaponize Isabella.\u201d<\/p>\n Although Michelle denied the allegation, Jesse pressed on: \u201cRead comments online. You weaponize your daughter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n The allegation caused Andy Cohen<\/a> to step in with a protest.\u00a0\u201cWell, excuse me, it\u2019s not up to the commenters,\u201d Andy said of Jesse\u2019s claim.\u00a0<\/p>\n RELATED:\u00a0Michelle Saniei and Aaron Nosler Have Broken Up as She Focuses on Her “New Chapter”<\/a><\/p>\n Jesse Lally and Michelle Saniei argue over claims about daughter Isabella<\/p>\n Jesse urged Michelle to explain what happened between her and his mother as an example of “weaponization.” The conversation in question happened before Michelle\u2019s mother passed away in November 2024 after a cancer battle. Michelle claimed Jesse wouldn’t allow her to take Isabella to see her mother before she passed away, and in turn, Jesse said Michelle would then not allow him to take Isabella to visit his family for Christmas.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI said, \u2018If you\u2019re not going to allow Isabella to see my mom, who is going to die, she will not be flying to Boston for Christmas and spending a week in Boston,\u2019\u201d Michelle noted during the reunion.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201c\u2019Ever again,\u2019 is how you ended it,\u201d Jesse clarified.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAnd what happened? It worked,\u201d Michelle said, defending her word choice. \u201cAnd that\u2019s how I have to talk to you. I have to treat you that way.\u201d<\/p>\n Are Michelle Saniei and Jesse Lally divorced?<\/p>\n Andy asked for an update on the status of Jesse and Michelle’s divorce during Part 1 of the reunion, which was filmed on May 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSo we have a custody agreement. We\u2019ve been trying to work on a settlement,\u201d Michelle answered. \u201cI have a lawyer. He does not. It\u2019s been very expensive for me the last six months. He represents himself, so he thinks he knows the law.\u201d<\/p>\n Jesse shared another update with The Daily Dish towards the end of May, adding, \u201cWe\u2019re so close to finalizing the settlement<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n The couple said if they can\u2019t agree on a settlement, they\u2019ll have to go to court.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really trying to avoid that because that\u2019s just so much more money and time, so I\u2019m just doing my best to like, get it done,\u201d Michelle told The Daily Dish at the end of May. \u201cMy goal is to get divorced this year, because I truly believe, like, once we\u2019re divorced, we can be in a much better place.\u201d<\/p>\n Don\u2019t miss Zack Wickham<\/a> revealing unseen details from the Season 2 finale fight<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How to Watch Watch\u00a0The Valley\u00a0on Bravo Tuesdays at 8\/7c and next day on\u00a0Peacock.
