Vanderpump Villa's Marciano Brunette Talks Suing 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Star Demi Engemann

Marciano Brunette is opening up about his lawsuit against Demi Engemann.

The Vanderpump Villa star first met the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star on season two of his show when the MomTok gang took a trip and were guests on the Hulu series.

Since then, a lot has come out about the nature of their relationship, with the Secret Lives star claiming sexual assault against him, leading to him taking legal action.

In a new interview, Marciano opened up about the whole situation, revealing it has cost him opportunities and more.

On a newly released, pre-recorded episode of the Boyfriend Material podcast with Harry Jowsey, Marciano noted that he was 110% taking legal action.

“I can’t say too much about the specifics, but like you just said, I’m not taking this lightly and once you cross that line with my father, nah. I’m done now. Now you pissed me off, because at first, I was kinda like, ‘I don’t know if I really want to,’” he said.

“You know, I can listen to the public and them saying I should and all these things, but I know once again, I can’t get into specifics, but I know, oh yeah, I got this,” he continued. “I’m not even gonna let it, I can’t let you get away with this sh-t. You defamed me. I’m done with you. You said bad things about my family. All right, here we go.”

On the podcast, Marciano revealed he was contracted to film during all of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season three, but was cut halfway through after Demi‘s allegations came out. He shared he was also supposed to go on Netflix’s Perfect Match, but was also cut from that about a week before he was to go film.

Marciano did note that the production company behind Secret Lives recently followed him on social media, so he’s unsure if they might bring him back, but he’s not sure he would want to do it.

He also said that Lisa Vanderpump had his back, and that was seemingly confirmed on the Secret Lives season three reunion, when it was revealed he was going to appear in the upcoming third season of Vanderpump Villa.

If you missed it, it was recently revealed that Marciano was suing Demi, with his attorneys saying she defamed him, harmed his reputation and that the production company “amplified the same accusations for profit” by building “major storylines and republishing them, airing the claims “in a way designed to maximize impact while cutting Marciano out and denying him any meaningful opportunity to respond.”
