Michelle Saniei Calls Out Jesse Lally’s Double Standards — and Spills Tea on His $2,500 “Gift” from a Gay Man

Michelle Saniei is so done with the double standards.

After the latest episode of The Valley aired, Michelle took her seat on Watch What Happens Live — and wasted no time addressing her ex-husband Jesse Lally’s selective storytelling. 

The Bravo star made it crystal clear she’s over being painted as the villain while Jesse casually drops wild accusations about her personal life.

ICYMI: Jesse’s been floating around a rumor dubbed the “Runyon Canyon theory,” suggesting Michelle was up to something sketchy during her hikes.

But the truth is, he’s just as sketchy.

Jesse received a $2,500 ‘birthday gift’ from a gay man — with zero solid explanation.

“He can’t explain anything himself,” Michelle said, adding that the whole thing just doesn’t sit right. 

“Why are you allowed to say certain things about you, but I’m not allowed to say the truth about you,” she questioned. 

Let’s be honest — a gift that size raises some eyebrows. But for Michelle, the point isn’t even about the money. It’s about the blatant hypocrisy. While her every move is dissected and judged, Jesse’s more questionable moments are brushed aside. And Michelle’s no longer interested in staying quiet just to keep the peace.

Still, despite their messy romantic fallout, she and Jesse are successfully co-parenting their 5-year-old daughter, Isabella. 

She gave him credit where it was due — and that’s more grace than most would offer.

Watch the moment below: 

Taste Buds, what do you make of Jesse’s $2,500 birthday present?
