The Secret Lives of Mormon Women‘ dark marciano has attempted to publicly contact Bret Engemann — but they’ve talked about it in private Demi Engemannsexual misconduct claims?
During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly at the Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala in Beverly Hills on Thursday, December 11, Marciano, 32, has confirmed that he has not spoken yet with Bret, 47, directly despite his — and Jordan This is indefinite‘s – best efforts.
“I was open to having a conversation that never happened,” Marciano hinted about trying to get in touch with Bret. “More than anything, it just hasn’t happened. That doesn’t mean I’m not open to it. I wanted to have an open conversation at the (Season 3) meeting. I didn’t get that opportunity to do the meeting. I would have done it there.”
Marciano was found in the center from the season 3 drama of The Secret Lives of Mormon Women when rumors of an affair with Demi, 31, led him to confess that he had an emotional connection with Jordan’s wife, Jesse Ngatikaura.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives not only addressed Marciano Brunette and Demi Engemann’s alleged romantic connection, but also sparked a new revelation about an alleged relationship with Jessi Ngatikaura. The drama started on another Hulu show, Vanderpump Villa, when Demi, Jessi, Jen Affleck, Layla Taylor and Mikayla Matthews were guests (…)
Marciano also claimed that he had a romantic relationship with Demi after they met while filming season 2 of Vanderpump Villabut she denied his version of events. Demi has since accused Marciano of sexual misconduct. He has maintained his innocence but recently filed a lawsuit against Demi for defamation.
“It’s so unfortunate. I never expected this to happen when you trust someone so much, to think that they would turn a dime on you and affect you so much,” she said. we. “It affects your mental health, where it’s really hard for you to get close to someone after that because I never would have expected it to go this far. Unfortunately, I’m in a position where I have to do what I have to do because unfortunately you’ve said things publicly that I don’t think are right.”
Marciano will have a chance to clear the air when season 3 of Vanderpump Villa premieres on Hulu. Earlier this month, it was confirmed for Season 3 Mormon Wives meeting that DadTok, also known as Conner Leavitt, Zac Affleck, Jordan, Jace Terry i Jacob Neeley — will appear on Vanderpump Villa.
“I just saw some stuff,” Zac teased during the meeting. “These are not my secrets to share. You’ll have to wait and tune in. Just wait.”
Zac hinted that his opinion of Marciano changed after they met on screen, saying, “He seemed like a nice guy there. He was charismatic and stayed out of the drama. I felt he was respectful to Jordan, so it was confusing.”
Jordan, for his part, made it clear that he was “not okay” filming with Marciano, that talked about the upcoming crossover on Thursday
“I wish I had the opportunity to talk to Jordan sooner. But to have that opportunity to do it on Vanderpump Villa, it was tough,” Marciano said. we. “I had to take on this responsibility that I hadn’t taken with him yet, especially publicly, which is very different. I think you’ll end up seeing that.”
Crossing with Jordan made Marciano regret his actions with Jessi, 33, even more so.
“Jordan is a good person who cares about his family. But that being said, I think the biggest thing for me was that as long as I can make amends with these people and they can forgive me, I’ll feel better about the regret and try to move on and do better,” he continued. “Move on, do better, do the right thing in the future and at least I won’t try to beat myself up and not live with this regret.”
Before Marciano had a chance to sit down with Jordan, Jessi opened up about the emotional abuse she’s endured throughout her marriage. Jordan and Jessi are giving their marriage another shot, and Marciano is rooting for them.
“It’s a tough situation, obviously I’ve heard things (about Jordan), but I try not to judge people (on) what I’ve only heard. I judge them by how they treat me and Jordan has always treated me really, really well,” Us said. “It’s a shame to see what has happened in his marriage. He would love to do things differently. He seems to be taking these steps forward to be a better husband, a better man and I wish him and Jessi the best. I hope it works out for them going forward.”
Marciano, for his part, is focused on moving forward, which has proven to be quite a bit defying the public eye.
“My biggest problem is that I still have a 9 to 5 job. I’m a server at a restaurant that I never know if anyone knows me when I go to a table,” he said Thursday. “It’s a shame that it’s put me in this mental paranoia where I don’t know if (a confrontation) will happen again and it could easily. It’s happened several times. That’s what scares me the most: that day-to-day life and a normal life will be very difficult for me.”
He continued: “The hardest part for me has been dealing with everything that’s come my way, as well as my own mental health. It’s affected me as a person and being in the public eye. I’ve had some bad experiences and it’s been really hard trying to navigate through that. I’ve had so much support and it means so much to me from all the people recently that I’ve really been able to turn around and turn the page. I’m more grateful for everyone who has supported me right now.”
The reality star has been able to stay positive with the help of those who stayed by his side — including Lisa Vanderpump.
“Lisa has had my back on a lot of things, publicly and even not publicly. She’s always checked on me,” Marciano mentioned on the Vanderpump Dogs gala. “So I think it means a lot to me to know that she’s willing to support me and have me here to support her because that’s what I’m here to do.”
