Janet Caperna reacted to Michelle Saniei‘s romance with Dr. Dre on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live.
As she also shaded Jesse Lally‘s relationship with Lacy Nicole, 35, spoke of reconciling with Kristen Doute, 43, and commented on Brittany Cartwright, 37, being stuck in the middle, Janet, who has starred on The Valley since season one, addressed her drama with Danny, 42, and Nia Booko, 46, and offered upates on Scheana Shay, 40, and Jax Taylor, 46.
“It was not on my bingo card,” Janet admitted of Michelle, 37, and Dr. Dre, 61, on the April 29 episode of WWHL. “[And] I found out when the rest of the world found out, so I’m very excited to get back to LA and have lunch with Michelle and get the tea.”
As for Michelle’s ex, Janet said Jesse and Lacy made a good couple — but for the wrong reasons.
“I think they have a lot of things that they want from each other,” she stated.
Continuing on about Lacy, Janet reacted to her co-star changing her mind about filming after declining to appear on season two.
“She wanted to be around [the cameras], but apparently she wanted to be blurred. I don’t know why you show up at filming events if you don’t want to be on camera. I think she finally got divorced, and maybe that had something to do with it,” Janet suspected.
Moving on to Kristen, Janet said she hoped to have a future friendship with her.
“We were great friends back in the day. And whether we get back to as close as we were is one thing, but I miss having fun with Kristen, and I hope we can get back to a better place. I think it’ll take maybe a couple of hard conversations, but we have a reunion coming up, and hopefully we can have them there,” she suggested.
Although Brittany has been accused of playing both sides with Janet and Kristen, Janet denied that was the case.
“I don’t think it’s playing both sides. Brittany is anti-confrontational, and I love that about her in so many ways. I can see how the pool party thing she could’ve handled better, but I can’t blame her. She’s stuck in the middle. It’s a tough place to be,” she reasoned.
Regarding her drama with Nia and Danny, Janet first reflected on a discussion with Nia that went left.
“Lala set me up, I feel like when she was like, ‘Hey, Nia has something she wants to say to you,’ and when I walked up to her, she just kind of blinked at me a lot. So I was like, ‘Alright, she has nothing to say,’ and I didn’t quite have my apology ready right then. So I was like, ‘I’m just gonna get out of here,’” she explained.
Then, after it was noted that Nia had said she planned to ignore her if she went to San Diego, Janet described the comment as “interesting.”
“She says she wants to ignore me, but she seems to talk about me a lot when I’m not around,” Janet alleged.
While Janet also shaded Danny, saying the feeling was “mutual” when asked about his statement that he didn’t want to be friends with her husband, Jason Caperna, she apologized to Nia.
“Nia, I am sorry for what you have been through. I know she has been struggling with postpartum and a lot of other struggles that come with being a first time mom and I’m sorry that I made it harder for you than I should have.”
She also looked back on her apology to Zack Wickham, admitting that she was just “trying to move it along.”
“I didn’t know exactly what I was apologizing for. I wish he’d been more honest and straightforward about what he was upset about,” she noted.
Also on the live broadcast, Janet confirmed she was still in touch with Scheana, saying, “I love Scheana. She’s family,” and that Jason was still in contact with Jax.
“They talk, and he’s supportive of his sobriety and all of that, but when Jax is not being great to Britany, we give him some hard advice, and we want to see what’s best for Brittany and Cruz,” she explained.
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Janet reacted to Brittany’s now-ex-boyfriend, Brandon Hanson, involving himself in the cast’s drama, and revealed if she was surprised by their breakup.
“I did not realize he got in the drama because it was at events that I wasn’t invited to, and seeing it was kind of an ick for me, so I’m not surprised it didn’t last,” she concluded.
The Valley season three airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
