One of Scheana Shay\u2019s<\/a> friends has reached the end of his patience with The Valley\u2019s<\/a> Zack Wickham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following a drunken altercation with Zack at \u2013 where else? \u2013 Jax\u2019s (former) Bar, Simon Curtis accused Zack of trying to get into a physical fight with him. After calling Brittany Cartwright\u2019s<\/a> gusband a \u201cparasite,\u201d he also accused him of stealing a design from a graphic artist.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram\u00a0post, Simon accused Zack of selling T-shirts aimed at both him and The Valley\u2019s biggest pot-stirrer<\/a>, Janet Caperna<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Zack has become close to several people on The Valley, he and Brittany have been besties for 17 years<\/a>. Throughout Season 2, Zack stood at Britt\u2019s side, defending her against the nefarious behavior of her estranged husband Jax Taylor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c[You] spent ten years parasiting off your \u2018best friend\u2019 to get on tv \u2026 All you have to show for it is some merch about \u2026 me? Pathetic,\u201d Simon ranted on Instagram. He included a photo of a T-shirt with emojis of a crocodile, a \u2018pile of poo,\u2019 and shoes. \u201cI\u2019d tag you, Zack, if you didn\u2019t have me blocked on everything (lol), but launching and promoting your merch store with a reference to me after all this time is such weirdo behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve kept my mouth shut for two years while you\u2019ve continued to talk about me behind my back, take jabs publicly, drunkenly tried to get physical with me at Jax\u2019s bar, screamed out of your car window calling me fat while I was out running,\u201d he continued. \u201cAre you done yet?\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, he called Zack out for allegedly stealing a design from another artist. \u201cThree shirts about Janet, one about me, and another with a design you stole from an independent artist and keep deleting comments when her fans try to bring it up to you,\u201d he added. \u201cDo you not have anything of your SELF to offer to sell merch? \u2026 Leeching off others\u2019 moments, stealing artist\u2019s designs, and using your castmate and former friend for clout speaks volumes \u2026 Phony. Plagiarist. Parasite.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, Simon shared two side-by-side photos of Zack\u2019s \u201cpetty\u201d T-shirts and a similar shirt by @snowthaproduct. He accused Zack of stealing the other design and marketing the copycat version as his own.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, Zack. You may be having trouble getting along with your own castmates, but Tamra Judge<\/a> still loves you<\/a>.<\/p>\n
