The Valley Producer Confronts Jesse Lally in Unaired Footage

Jesse Lally’s previously unnamed “girlfriend from Orange County,” Lacy Nicole, finally stepped in front of the cameras for the first time on The Valley, following last year’s behind-the-scenes production drama.

The Season 3 premiere included unaired footage of a producer confronting Jesse about Lacy not wanting to film when she showed up to Michelle Saniei’s all-cast zen party from the Season 2 finale. Though Andy Cohen previously brought up Michelle and Lacy’s “massive screaming match after cameras went down” during the Season 2 reunion, this was the first time viewers got to see what happened for themselves.

During The Valley‘s April 1 episode, a previously unseen clip showed Lacy arriving at Michelle’s event around the time Jesse believed filming would be wrapping up. Cameras were still rolling, however, and Lacy reminded Jesse, “I didn’t sign a release.”

Shortly afterward, a producer approached Jesse and asked, “Why did she come here?” When he reasoned that they had already “wrapped” for the night, the producer replied, “We’re not wrapped. We’re still filming.” Jesse, meanwhile, fumed, “Not f–kin’ cool.”

In subsequent footage, Jesse announced that he was “gonna go with” his girlfriend and headed for the exit, just prior to Michelle and Lacy getting into an expletive-filled confrontation inside the venue.

How the unaired Season 2 incident shaped Michelle Saniei’s opinion of Lacy Nicole

Needless to say, Michelle was caught off guard when Lacy unexpectedly appeared at Nia Sanchez Booko and Kristen Doute’s “sip and see” get-together in Season 3, Episode 1. Though the two eventually had a cordial conversation, Michelle couldn’t help but recall what went down between her and Lacy the previous summer.

She explained in a confessional that Jesse had “kept begging” her to call Lacy and “have a conversation with her,” prior to her zen party. Michelle refused, however, as she did not believe it was her “responsibility” to reach out to her estranged husband’s new girlfriend. Regardless, Lacy still met up with Jesse toward the end of her rooftop bash.

“This girl who says she would never film shows up to my zen party when there’s cameras everywhere,” Michelle added, before going on to use the incident as an example of why she still “can’t trust” Lacy.

“I’ve seen her be super nice and I’ve also seen her be super rude to me,” Michelle elaborated.

As for Michelle version of events from the zen party, she claimed, “[Lacy] was just being bossy and telling me what to do and, like, how our friendship’s gonna be. It doesn’t really work that way. And by the end of the conversation. she was screaming at me.”

Jesse Lally weighs in on Lacy Nicole and Michelle Saniei’s dynamic

Earlier in The Valley‘s premiere episode, Jesse brought Luke Broderick up to speed on where things stood between Lacy and Michelle at that point in time.

“Michelle has said over and over again that she, like, doesn’t want any communication,” Jesse explained, before confirming that he’d “asked Michelle to reach out to Lacy” before her finale party. “Just call and like, you know, put your cards on the table and just move forward so that we can all move on. And Michelle wanted no part of it.”

He continued, “We need to sort of start to create this. like, modern family situation. Lacy reached out to Michelle when we first started dating. She wanted to know if Michelle had any boundaries. And Michelle didn’t take it the right way. I don’t– I don’t know where that’s gonna go, to be honest with you.”

Referencing their 5-year-old daughter, Isabella, Jesse added in a confessional, “Michelle has made no effort and she wants nothing to do with this woman that spends half the week with her daughter. And it just doesn’t make any logical sense to me whatsoever.”

Following the women’s one-on-one at Kristen and Nia’s event, Jesse further told a producer, “Michelle and Lacy speaking is the best-case scenario for all of us. You know, hopefully it’s just the beginning of what could grow into a Thanksgiving together.”

As they navigate the ups and downs in their “modern family,” find out what to expect from Jesse and Lacy on The Valley Season 3.
