Danny Booko seems to be doubling down on his “liked” posts about Janet and Jason Caperna.
As Tom Schwartz, 43, and Zack Wickham, 37, weighed in on their Valley castmates’ feud and the Capernas reacted to claims of fleeing the country due to online hate, Nia Booko, 36, admitted to “liking” posts of her own as Danny, 42, explained why he felt he had every right to “like” negative comments about the couple.
“I sure as heck, with what they had done to me and said about me, what got me through that was the viewers seeing right through it and ‘liking’ positive posts about me and not so positive posts about them,” Danny shared on the June 24 episode of The Valley: After Show.
“At the time, it was a ton of negative things being said about them,” noted Luke Broderick, 35.
“Exactly,” Danny agreed. “‘They are liars.’ ‘They’re insufferable.’ ‘They did these horrible things.’ Half the stuff I didn’t even read. It’s just like, I’m tagged in it, it’s anti Jason and Janet. ‘Like.'”
According to Danny, he “would’ve liked all of them,” but he tried to have “some self-control.”
That said, he did engage in some regrettable social media activity.
“Sometimes I would respond and then the next morning be like, ‘I’m gonna delete that,’ or it was more of my wife saying, ‘You should delete that,’” he recalled.
Meanwhile, Zack didn’t think the issue was that serious, stating, “This is Janet trying to weaponize a tweet that is innocuous,” as Tom described Danny’s antics as “embarrassing” — but something he would also take part in.
“It’s embarrassing to be that petty, to get to the point where you’re hate-liking posts about your enemy, but also, if it makes you feel better, I’m actually for it,” he confessed.
As for Jason, he said he probably wouldn’t “like” a negative comment about someone publicly because they would find out.
“But if I saw something disparaging about somebody I didn’t like, I might internally like it,” he clarified.
Although Nia suggested on The Valley that she wouldn’t care if the roles were reversed and the Capernas “liked” a post against her, Janet didn’t believe her.
“Let’s find out. Let me go repost some of the stuff that people are saying about Danny right now, and let’s see if it comes up at the reunion because I guarantee you it would,” Janet stated.
After pointing out that she had Janet “blocked on everything” and wouldn’t know if she did “like” something about her, Nia said she’s “liked” posts in the past — but changed her mind.
“I liked posts and unliked it, like, ‘Oop, take that back,’ because I didn’t want to like, add fuel to the fire. But that’s me. That’s how I’m operating,” she noted.
Regarding Danny, Nia added, “He felt like he never got a chance to, like, say his piece.”
Also on the After Show, Janet and Jason denied leaving the country to evade backlash.
“Janet’s been getting hate since day one, and her hate, she gets more than I get, so it’s a little bit of a different situation. Everyone knows that she has had a hard time. It’s even been reported that we fled the country to go to Switzerland,” Jason shared.
As for Janet, she added, “Jason and I had our Switzerland trip booked months in advance. It came at a lovely time when there was a lot of hate going on and I went private during that time cuz I really wanted to be present-minded in our vacation, and people would have less access to me, but I think it was sort of blown out of proportion that we were like fleeing the country … We did not flee the country.”
The Valley season three airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
