Lisa Vanderpump said she “categorically know[s]” what happened with Demi Engemann and Marciano Brunette on Vanderpump Villa, as she’s seen “every ounce” of footage. Around the same time, Pump Villa star Hannah Fouch hinted at what wasn’t shown.
In season two of Pump Villa, Demi met Marciano and filmed several short scenes together. But when Marciano later claimed that he and Demi had a romantic relationship, she accused him of sexually assaulting her. On the new season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Demi’s castmates questioned why Demi, after the alleged assault, continued to call and send him messages, including one about “c*m.”
Later in the season, Demi (who’s married to Bret Engemann) alleged that Marciano had sex with another SLOMW star, Jessi Ngatikaura (who’s married to Jordan Ngatikaura). Jessi admitted they kissed and had an emotional affair, but she said they didn’t have sex.
Speaking to Access Hollywood, Lisa reacted to Demi’s sexual assault allegations against Marciano.
“Oh, I categorically know what happened, because we have cameras everywhere, and I’ve seen every ounce of the footage,” said Lisa. “So I think when the women are doubting her, I think they’ve got very good reason. [Regarding] any allegations against Marciano, I have the luxury of having all the footage.”

Meanwhile, Hannah spoke out on the controversy.
“I think Demi is a liar, because I don’t think Marciano is a sexual assaulter,” said Hannah at a live show of No Filter with Zack Peter. “And I think that Marciano is lying about some things with Jessi.”
She suggested that certain parts of Demi’s conversation with Marciano weren’t shown on Pump Villa.
“They talked for three hours outside,” said Hannah. “You guys got a short clip of two minutes of them talking.” She then questioned why Demi later sent Marciano a text about semen. “Why are we saying that when we’re married? … Oh my god, it’s so embarrassing.”
The new season of Hulu’s Secret Lives of Mormon Wives recently dropped. Past seasons of Vanderpump Villa are also streaming on the same platform.
