Vanderpump Villa‘s Marciano Brunette issued a public message to Demi Engemann‘s husband, Bret Engemann, about the alleged infidelity that took place before season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Marciano, 32, took to Instagram on Wednesday, May 28, first sharing Bret’s comment to a fan who asked about Jen Affleck‘s claims Demi, 30, was unfaithful.
” Jen has proven to be a pathological liar over and over again,” Bret, 47, replied in the post. “Here’s one of many examples … most of Jen and Zac’s entire backstory for SLOMW is a lie. They were NEVER separated. Jen sat in Whitney’s living room pleading with Zac to go along with the fake narrative of separation.”
Bret continued: “Jen’s claims of Marciano and Demi are 100% false. Oh, and Demi never served Jen a cease and desist. Hope this brings clarity.”

Marciano reacted in a response video, “You are saying Jen is 100 percent false when Jen is 100 percent true. Dude, you are a smart man. You are not delusional. It is admirable that you want to defend your woman like that. But you must just not know the whole truth.”
The Vanderpump Villa star urged Bret to contact him.
“You heard Jen, she says she has receipts. If she has receipts, imagine what kind of receipts I have,” Marciano continued. “Even if there weren’t any receipts, she was at Vanderpump Villa and I was at Vanderpump Villa. Everyone knows what went down — it is all on camera. All I am saying is if you want the truth, get my phone number and we can have a talk.”
Before season 2 of Mormon Wives premiered earlier this month, Demi and Bret’s marriage was already a major topic of conversation on Vanderpump Villa. A visit to Lisa Vanderpump‘s villa took a turn when Marciano found himself smitten with Demi. They ended the season on good terms, but Demi later called out Marciano for perpetuating rumors that she was unfaithful.
“Nothing happened with Marciano. At the expense of sounding rude, there wasn’t even a remote attraction to him. It sucks that women can’t be kind and friendly and even playful with men in this world without it being taken as like you’re open. I had a rock on my finger the entire time I was there,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in May. “I brought up my marriage multiple times and they were told that we were married women — so it sucks that we couldn’t just go and have a good time and that he couldn’t respect that.”

Bret, for his part, defended Demi’s version of events as well.
“I’m so proud of this beautiful human. She’s the most incredible woman I will ever know,” he wrote via Instagram before season 2 of Mormon Wives also brought up claims Bret cheated on Demi, which he denied. “The amount of nonsense she’s had to endure at the hands of disingenuous and deceitful fools is astounding. She’s conducted herself like a graceful lioness amongst a bunch of yipping hyenas.”
Marciano subsequently appeared in the last scene of the season — only to claim he actually (or also?) had an affair with Jessi Ngatikaura.
“I will say that it’s not what he made it sound [like],” Jessi, 32, who is married to Jordan Ngatikaura, told Bustle this month. “What he said was not accurate. I wish I could speak now. … Honestly, yeah, he’s a piece of s***.”
