The drama is heating up in The Valley! Kristen Doute is exposing Jax Taylor as the source behind the Michelle Lally affair rumors.
Kristen Doute has leaked text messages from Jax Taylor, proving that he started the rumor about Michelle Lally‘s alleged communication with another man while married to her now estranged husband, Jesse Lally.
According to Kristen, Michelle told Jax’s wife, Brittany Cartwright, that she was in communication with an “actor” or “celebrity” amid her marriage issues with Jesse.
Since filming wrapped for season one of The Valley, Jesse and Michelle have split.
In a preview for an upcoming episode of The Valley, Kristen addressed Jax’s claims that she told him about the Michelle rumors.
“Who’s the only person talking about it right now? Jax,” the 41-year-old said to co-star Jasmine Goode.
In her confessional interview, Kristen said that Michelle told her she was “texting with someone” and having an “emotional affair with this guy.”
Kristen then told Jasmine that Jax was the one who first told her about the rumor a few weeks prior while at lunch.
A flashback scene of the lunch in question then popped on the screen, showing Jax admitting that his wife shared something about Michelle “in confidence,” which, if revealed, would “ruin a marriage.”
She also shared that Jax sent her a text after lunch.
“Do not repeat anything personal to Michelle; you could destroy a life,” Jax wrote in the message. “And I don’t know if it’s true … and you told my wife, and now she’s pissed at me. Why would you repeat something unless you know the facts.”
“Please don’t open your mouth about anything like that,” the text continued. “Please, it’s not our place.”
In response, Kristen wrote: “What are you talking about … I haven’t even talked to Brittany … You’re the one who said [redacted] on camera that I’ve never even heard of.”
While chatting with Jasmine, Kristen said she later addressed the claim with Brittany, who told her that the other man was “like an actor, a celebrity.”
