Kristen Doute brushes off Jesse Lally’s claim that estranged wife Michelle Saniei is a ‘hooker’

Kristen Doute may not get along with Michelle Saniei — but that doesn’t mean she’s buying into those “hooker” rumors spreading on Season 2 of “The Valley.” 

Speaking exclusively with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea,” Doute brushed off an inflammatory claim made by Jesse Lally — Saniei’s estranged husband — that the real estate agent sleeps with men for money. 

“It just seemed — and still seems — very outlandish to me,” said the “Vanderpump Rules” alum, teasing that conflict over the situation permeates much of the new season. 

“I don’t even know if there’s, like, a full resolve. You’ll definitely see a lot more of that play out.”

Doute went on to call the hearsay “ridiculous” and noted that she was reticent to believe Saniei — who is currently dating financial advisor Aaron Nosler — was engaging in intimate relations that were transactional.

“When I first heard it, it just seemed like one of the most ridiculous [claims],” she added. 

In a trailer for the current installment of “The Valley,” Lally claims that Saniei “admitted that she cheated” on him during their marriage. The exes announced their split in the spring of 2024 ahead of the Season 1 premiere. 

The preview also hints that Lally — who, like, Saniei, works in real estate — told his male co-stars about her alleged prostitution. 

At one point in the sneak peek, Daniel Booko tells Luke Broderick, “I have evidence that she’s sleeping with a billionaire for $1,500 a night.”

It’s unclear if Booko is discussing his own alleged evidence or repeating what he heard about Saniei, 36. 

Doute — who is pregnant and expecting a baby girl with fiancé Broderick, 34 — likened the rumor to a “lie” told by serial fibber Jax Taylor. 

“Like, who said this and then it turned into a Jax Taylor lie? Like, it started this big and now it became this huge thing,” the 42-year-old told “Virtual Reali-Tea.” 

“And I’m like, ‘Was someone watching “Pretty Woman” at the time?’” she continued, referencing the 1990 film starring Julia Roberts as a prostitute. “Like, is that where they came up with this?”

The “Valley” Season 2 preview shows Saniei and Lally mired in an explosive confrontation — during which the latter doubles down on the sordid assertion made about the mother of his young daughter, Isabella. 

“Well, she’s a hooker, so it’s fine,” he says in front of Saniei. She retorts back, “I’m the mother of your f—king child!”

Doute found herself on the outs with both Lally, 43, and Saniei last season after accusing the latter of infidelity. 

During the Season 2 premiere, Lally apologized to Doute for the part he played in the discord. In a vindicating moment for Doute, he expressed his belief that the James Mae T-shirt designer was correct about Saniei’s alleged extramarital activities. 

It remains to be seen if Saniei copped to cheating as Lally claimed she did on camera. 

“The Valley” airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo with new episodes streaming the next day on Peacock.
