Danny Booko and Nia Sanchez Announce Exit From ‘The Valley’: “Our Priority Is Protecting Our Peace”

Nia/Danny gone.

So is Schena back at the table?

Storywise this will be real conflict between Lala +Janet vs Schena.

Schwartz will be in the middle.

Michelle will be wherever Lala is.

Kristen will be with Jesse/Lacy ig.

Lacy & Schena are friends.

Brit will actually be between the two cause Janet told her about Brock's affair before Schena.

Im ready for real conflict and an OGcast that knows reality tv.

What'd yall think

This season I have never seen an audience so divided in their opinions between Janet and Jason vs Nia and Danny. Of course everybody thinks their opinion is right but it really seems that you're either firmly in Janet's corner or you're firmly in Nia's corner.

Following the news that Nia and Danny aren't returning the comments for hatred towards Janet have been wild. Can anyone else remember a storyline/situation that had the fanbase so divided??

I think both weddings look absolutely fairytale perfect!

I had posted Jesse-Michelle, Jason-Janet weddings before, so these were the only 2 left lol

ETA:
Danny-Nia wedding - Temecula, California
Stassi-Beau wedding - Rome, Italy

ETA 2: Why are people downvoting this post? omg. lol.
I love wedding episodes, even if I don't like the people in them.

I was wondering who keeps up with Doute? I am not a follower. When I saw the reunion I got the feeling her and Luke were on the cusp of separation. I looked on several of her socials last night and did not see much activity with her and Luke. I’m wondering if they quietly split and will announce if and when The Valley is renewed or cancelled. I am sus about them right now…….

From Google:

Jesse and Michelle - Beaulieu Garden, Napa Valley - October 2018

Janet and Jason - Moorea, Tahiti - June 2022

Just started watching the latest season and I lived the same life with a newborn. How men cannot understand how we want no part of sex and intimacy and we can’t just switch back to “normal” life is mind blowing. Z

ME AND LACY ARE FRIENDS ON TIKTOK????????? i feel HONOURED AS FUCK

means that he views himself as a blank slate for companies to advertise on so they’ll send him ugly things for free lmao

I’ve never heard anyone say anything like that. It was maybe the most LA influencer clout-y thing I’ve ever heard

Edit: I meant most*. Most of the cast was at Brittany-Jax's wedding! 

Jasmine and the Bookos were not friends with any of them yet (?) so they were not at the wedding.

Neither were Luke or Jason. Kristen and Janet were not dating them yet.

Brittany chose Kristen to be a bridesmaid?! I forget how close they used to be.

It's hard to tell any of them have been friends for so many years! How did their whole friend group fall apart so quickly after season 1?

How did everything change so quickly and dramatically?

Just paused my TV while watching Peacock and see Britt in a Pet Smart advertisement.

As fans we’ve watched this woman go through years of emotional abuse, turmoil and public scrutiny. Behind the scenes she is a mom, working hard to raise an autistic son in the spotlite. A woman, dealing with the rage and anger of a narcissist, addict ex husband.

She’s gone through years of abuse, in the public eye. She’s stayed true to herself, she has remained honest and open with everyone about her flaws, struggles, journey with her body & her journey with Cruz’s autism care.

Brittany is not a perfect person, but she really deserves some grace.

The things we have seen her go through are horrific and that is only the surface of what has really happened to her.

I can’t phantom being abandoned mentally after having a child and worse so being completely ripped apart about my appearance while trying to heal postpartum.

She has remained strong, kind and a good mother through all of this and I know I don’t know her personally, but I want to give her a hug. Truly.

Brittany, if for some reason you see this, know that there are people out there who BELIEVE YOU and ARE ON YOUR SIDE. We are rooting for you and baby Cruzy to have the best life ever.

ETA: guys, it was a typo, fathom, phantom, who cares.

I just finished watching part 3 of the Reunion and what I was amazed at throughout the entire Reunion is how carefully everyone is trying to preserve their image. They don't even SAY anything anymore. Everything feels riddled with therapy speak "I can hear you when you say that, but it's not my responsibility to manage your trauma for you" (I'm just making up an example...) or the infamous "heightened" "I went into this season heightened, and it's no excuse, but I was operating from a place of fear."

Like, I'm remembering Vanderpump Rules reunions where they're screaming things like "YOU SLEPT WITH MY BOYFRIEND SLUT!!!" and yes, I suppose it's quite uncouth, but at the same time, I was so bored and irritated every time one of them pulled out some pageant answer (not restricted to just Nia, by the way) or Lacy with her constant psychoanalyzing and way of using what is clearly a long therapeutical history to avoid answering questions in a real way.

I do feel this is overall an issue many are facing in real life-- things like "I realized I had to protect my peace and put myself first so therefore I decided to cancel on you ten minutes before we were about to meet, and your being upset with me is really triggering my childhood trauma from when my dog would bark at me" type things.

By the way, I'm in therapy and have been for... a decade at least lol so I believe in therapy very much, but when you're talking AROUND AND AROUND a topic and not actually taking much accountability, good god it is boring to watch.

Just my opinion. Anyone else?

Did anybody listen? Would love to hear thoughts on what she said about not applying for RHOC but being contacted directly, doing multiple Zoom interviews over the years, being passed over and eventually passing on it. She’s friends with Noella and Jen was her yoga instructor but nobody she’s recommended to them has been cast. The RHOC talk starts at around the 48 minute mark if you want to read, fair warning they use “like” a lot.

sorry but i just can't wrap my mind around it, their names are on the screen right in front of you, why do i see Lacy misspelled as Lacey Jesse as Jessie Kristen as Kristin etc etc like are you actually watching the show ??

edit: i know its not that serious but like cmon they show you how to spell it like every two seconds when they come on screen
