Marciano Brunette is speaking out in support of Jessi Draper.
The Vanderpump Villa star took to Instagram to show some “appreciation” for the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star amid growing social media backlash.
“The internet can take a moment or a mistake and decide they know someone’s entire heart. But I get to know the real Jess,” Marciano wrote on Aug. 18.
“How deeply she loves, how much she cares, how hard she works, and the things she does for people when nobody’s watching.”
The “moment” Marciano is referring to was resurfaced by Utah mommy influencer Katie Santt.
Katie and Jessi have been engaged in a weeks-long online feud, with donated clothes at the center of their drama.
However, a resurfaced clip Katie posted to her feed brought the beef to a head.
In the clip, which may be triggering for some, Jessi details a vaginal procedure where “they cut the meat off.”
She then compares her rejuvenated nether region to that of her daughter.
“I look like my daughter,” Jessi joked, before adding, “I’m like brand new again.”
The internet quickly flooded the comments under Katie’s post and eventually Jessi’s, leading to Jessi temporarily deactivating her Instagram account before Mayci Neeley reactivated it to continue scheduled brand deals.
Marciano continued his message of support for his “situationship,” asking the internet to extend Jessi some grace.
“I hope you never let the opinions of strangers make you question the person the people who truly know you already know you are.”
Jessi has yet to address the resurfaced 2025 interview clip, and her TikTok account has also been deleted.
