Things got explosive in the final minutes of the latest episode of The Valley as Kristen Doute dropped a truth bomb about co-star Michelle Lally.

More from Deadline

The dinner party to celebrate Jax Taylor’s new sponsor deal to promote hair loss products turned chaotic when Doute felt she was being talked to in a derogatory way by her co-star Jesse Lally.

After feeling slighted by Jesse Lally, Doute said she would “politely excuse myself” from the dinner table because she didn’t want to go off on him.

A producer tried to calm Doute down in the hallway after storming off the scene.

“What do you mean, come on? He’s acting like a f***ing psycho,” Doute is heard saying on a hot mic about Jesse Lally. “He’s f***ing banging his hands on the table again. This is turning into trash. He’s a really horrific human, but I don’t want to out their whole f***ing marriage and everything I know about it. And I won’t do it.”

At this point, Jesse Lally had walked out of the dinner room as tensions between him and his wife rose.

“If you bring out any skeletons that I don’t already know about my wife, I will f***ing bury you,” Jesse Lally is heard saying on a hot mic to Doute.

The fourth wall was broken at this point and cameras were in the scene as the exchange of words between Jesse Lally and Doute took over the party scene.

Doute’s boyfriend, Luke Broderick, overhears the exchange between her and Jesse Lally and tries to intervene, pushing him away.

“Don’t touch my husband,” Michelle Lally tells Broderick.

As Broderick and Jesse Lally continue to have words, Doute and Michelle Lally also begin a heated exchange with the latter yelling at the former, “Stop with the f***ing protecting.”

“You want me to stop protecting you? OK!” Doute tells Michelle Lally.

After Michelle Lally asks what her husband said, Doute says, “Your husband said that he’s going to divorce you within two months.”

Jesse Lally denies ever saying that, and Jax Taylor corroborates that, explaining in a confessional, “That’s bullsh** that was never said. It’s the other way around. It’s Michelle is going to leave Jesse in two months.”

Broderick then says, “Your problems with your wife, talk to your wife,” which makes Jesse Lally want to get physical, pushing several cast members out of the way to get to Doute’s boyfriend.

Doute and Broderick then start walking out of the Mondrian, but while waiting for their elevator, she reveals the real secret she’s been keeping about Michelle Lally.

“‘Cause she had a f***ing boyfriend for a year,” Doute says before expanding on the secret in a confessional, saying, “About a year ago, Michelle and Jesse were very unhappy. Michelle had a guy. She was seeing him. They were hanging out. I was not against any of this because I think Jesse is a piece of sh*t.”

Back during the heated night, Doute says, “I didn’t sign up for this all over again just to go through with it again. I’d rather be on Vanderpump Rules.”

At the end of the episode, Michelle Lally gathered everyone else to make a revelation.

It is also worth noting that ahead of The Valley premiere, Michelle and Jesse Lally announced they were divorcing.
