A new bombshell has been dropped in the villa — the Vanderpump Villa, that is.

Prior to the Season 2 debut of Lisa Vanderpump’s new reality show on Hulu, tensions rose between cast members Marciano Brunette and Secrets Lives of Mormon Wives star Demi Engemann on social media, causing a stir with differing versions of events that occurred during filming in Italy.

The drama unfolded when Hulu released a preview of Vanderpump Villa, featuring scenes of the Mormon moms from the popular series enjoying a girls’ trip at the Italian castle. In the trailer, Demi and Marciano appeared to hit it off right away, getting comfortable and engaging in several one-on-one conversations during her visit.

“Are you supposed to be flirting with the guests?” Demi inquires of Marciano in the teaser, which then shifts to him in a confessional, stating, “There was an immediate connection with Demi.”

Cut back to the present, where Marciano posted that he was “uninvited” from an event because a “Mormon wife’s scared” he would tell her husband “the truth.” The Vanderpump Villa star did not name names but the speculation among fans is that he’s referring to Demi.

Talking with DECIDER at the Hulu “Get Real” event last week, Demi and her Mormon Wives cast mate Whitney Leavitt shut down any claims of impropriety and said that the whole situation stems from nothing more than someone trying to ride coat tails to the top.

“I think some people just want some clout right now, I think that’s what’s going on,” Whitney, who was not present on the trip, said. “That’s the real tea.”

“Thank you,” Demi responded. “You took the words right out of my mouth. We’ve got a series of clout chasing happening. Don’t believe everything you see and also tune in because there were some fun moments in Italy.”

It is important to note that while Whitney was not in Italy for the filming of the series, other Mormon Wives cast members — including Layla Taylor, Jessi Ngatikaura, and Jen Affleck — were. To make matters even more complicated, after Marciano shared his controversial reel to Instagram earlier this week, Layla commented on his post, writing “OOOP👀.”

As for what really happened between Demi and Marciano, we’ll have to wait until we have both sides of the story when both Hulu reality shows have debuted on the platform.

Vanderpump Villa Season 2 is currently streaming on Hulu. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives returns for its second season on Hulu May 15.
