In a preview for The Valley: Persian Style, Mercedes ‘MJ’ Javid expressed to her husband, Tommy Feight, that the way he speaks to her bothers her.
Seeing how Tommy reacted to MJ’s concern – specifically how it affects their son, Shams – it’s no wonder the couple is divorcing.
Tommy’s cringe sense of humor:
During date night, MJ told Tommy, “Some of the girls don’t sleep in the same room with their husbands. They actually have separate bedrooms.” Tommy interjected, “It is very difficult for me to sleep without you next to me. You know I have sleep apnea. It’s difficult for me to sleep regardless.”
When MJ notes that the condition also causes him to snore, he pulls up a video of her snoring after she had surgery. Tommy told his wife that sleeping next her is “like sleeping next to a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant!”
“Today’s not the day,” MJ replies. “I would appreciate that you don’t make those jokes.”
Tommy too much:
In a confessional, MJ expressed that Tommy hurts her with the way he talks to her. He defended himself, saying that “teasing is definitely a way that I show love.”
MJ then asks Tommy, with whom she shares 6-year-old son Shams, “Don’t you think that Shams hears the way that you crack jokes at me?”
“Yeah, but he’s got a great sense of humor,” Tommy says. “None of it’s ever malicious.” Cameras cut to a flashback of Shams trolling his mom with Tommy watching and laughing.
“I don’t think he’s aware that it can be hurtful,” MJ tells cameras of Tommy’s behavior. “I love him enough, but is love enough?”
As they wrap up their dinner, the waiter approaches their table with the menu, where Tommy pokes fun at MJ once again. “If she takes her top off, will that get me some type of discount?”
ICYMI:
GG Gharachedaghi commented on the demise of MJ and Tommy’s marriage during an appearance on Jeff Lewis Live. “There’s a scene that everyone is gonna see come out. You can’t make this sh*t up.”
“What happened while we were filming, is a situation that happened with MJ and Tommy. You really get to hear and experience what this domestic situation is like.”
The Valley: Persian Style premieres Thursday, Jan. 8th, at 9 pm on Bravo and will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
