Jessi Draper and Marciano Brunette are clapping back after it was alleged on Vanderpump Rules: Lisa Las Vegas that he cheated on her with Vanderpump Rules star Audrey Lingle.
After Lisa Vanderpump, 66, suggested that Marciano, 33, was unfaithful to Jessi, 34, when he hooked up with Audrey in Sin City, the couple reacted with a series of posts on social media, denying that Marciano cheated and accusing Lisa of using them for ratings on her new show.
“Finding out he cheated on me when [we] weren’t exclusive and I was dating other boys [because] Lisa Vanderpump said so,” Jessi wrote in the caption of a video on Instagram in which the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star was eating with a face mask as Marciano stood near her in their kitchen.
“Never been the jealous type,” she added.

Jesse also responded to a fan who discussed the matter, writing, “No lol we were just casually dating in May when this happened.”
In his own response to Jessi’s post, Marciano added, “Can’t cheat on someone you’re not even dating yet. But I get it, they need us to make good TV.”
On Vanderpump Rules: Lisa Las Vegas, Audrey was seen telling Lisa about her wild night with Marciano.
“I did a shot out of Marciano’s belly button,” she revealed as a flashback clip showed them sharing a kiss.
“He’s in a relationship,” Lisa replied.
“He is?” Audrey asked.
“I don’t want to talk about Marciano. It’s going to get too complicated,” Lisa stated.

While Jessi confirmed that she and Marciano were only seeing one another casually when the scene was filmed in May, they made their red carpet debut as a couple that same month at the American Music Awards in Las Vegas, and at the event, they admitted they were happy to not have to “keep [their relationship] a secret” anymore.
“We were saying how ironic it is, like the last month that we’ve been able to go to restaurants and just be seen,” Jessi told ET at the time. “Obviously, at first it created a commotion, but now it’s just normal life, and we’re just having fun.”
As for whether they’d given their relationship a title, however, Marciano confirmed, “No.”
“I think the main thing for me right now is I want to be a support system for her. I’m a best friend first, and then anything after that is something that, yes, do I want, but maybe one day down the road when she’s ready. I think we both are gonna be working on that together,” he explained.
Jessi, whose ex-husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, 32, filed for divorce months prior, also spoke with E! News at the same event.
“I’m single, going through a divorce and dating around, having fun,” she said. “I have Marciano here tonight, but I’m just casually dating and living life.”
