Jax Taylor informed Michelle Lally about rumors circulating regarding her sending “sexy” photos to other men while she was married to Jesse Lally. Michelle, 36, did not seem to dismiss the speculation when she was told about it on the Tuesday, May 14, episode of The Valley.

A few months back, we had a girls’ night at my place. It was a great time, but when Kristen [Doute] got home, she was really drunk. Jax, who is 44, told me that Kristen started talking about you. He knows Kristen well and believes that when she is desperate, she will try to destroy others. He advised you to address any rumors before they spread.

Jax mentioned that Kristen, aged 41, told him that Michelle was texting other guys and even had a secret relationship with someone. Michelle didn't seem surprised by this revelation and admitted to meeting a celebrity, exchanging texts, and having coffee with him one morning.

Jax mentioned that the rumors didn't just end there. "She said you were sending sexy photos to this guy," he said. Michelle confirmed, saying, "Yes, I have been texting several people."

As the episode wrapped up, viewers caught a preview of the aftermath. The trailer for the next episode featured Jesse, 43, and Michelle discussing the controversy.

Michelle clarified to Jesse that she had coffee, but he wasn't convinced and accused her of sending sexy pictures.

Later, Jesse opened up to his costars about his emotional turmoil regarding his marriage. He confessed, "I am putting in so much effort, but I feel like it's over between Michelle and me."

The focus of the entire first season of The Valley has been on Michelle's personal life, with speculation running wild. Kristen pointed fingers at Michelle, suggesting she was having an "emotional affair" with a "secret boyfriend" while still married to Jesse. (The couple eventually split and filed for divorce after filming for The Valley wrapped up.)

Jax, on the other hand, got involved by being the first to bring up the topic on screen. In an exclusive interview with We, Michelle expressed her surprise at the numerous claims being made about her on the show.

"I felt really attacked and it just felt like one thing after another. It feels like it never ends," she shared with Us, explaining why she doesn't see a way forward with Kristen. "So many things keep happening to me. It's tough to imagine a future. I'm not sure where we stand on that yet."

Michelle also gave her thoughts on Jax questioning her friendship with a director on a recent episode. "I think it's a mix of both of them. I'm not exactly sure how it all started," she mentioned. "Seeing that scene for the first time yesterday was a bit surprising. My marriage is not a joke. We have a child and it's difficult to watch."

After filming wrapped up, Michelle found love with her new boyfriend Aaron Nosler. Meanwhile, Jesse has publicly moved on with Lacy Nicole.

"I'm really happy with her. We've been good friends and recently started dating. She has an amazing personality and is a very loving person," he told Us magazine. "We are both really happy right now and focusing on being happy. I feel more grounded and she is special to me. It's still new, so we are taking things slow."

The Valley airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET and new episodes are available to stream on Peacock the next day.
