Vanderpump Villa’s Marciano Brunette Sues Mormon Wives’ Demi Engemann

At the time, Demi’s rep made it clear they were standing by her, telling E! News, “As a woman, it distresses me that what happened to Demi is being minimized.”

For Demi, not only did she say the alleged incident brought up past trauma for her, but she also shared how it created tension with her costars, who took sides in the dispute and expressed doubt over her story. 

“I will never put myself in a situation like that again, and that sucks, especially when you’ve been in that situation and it brings up old stuff,” she said during the SLOMW reunion, which aired Dec. 4. “Then you start really blaming yourself for what they did. It’s more painful to not [be] believed and to say it and have to go over it and over and over and feel the pain of bad things than to just say, ‘F–k, yeah, we kissed. F–k, yeah, this happened.'”
