Flowers where flowers are due. Bravo is not protecting Danny AT ALL.

If they wanted to protect their perfect golden couple, they clearly could have. They could have villainized Lala in the edit. (Like they did with Kristen in Kristen vs James situation in VPR)

But they are choosing to be on the right side of this.

  • They showed Danny yelling at his wife.
  • Their other friends have said it's normal behavior for them. Off camera.
  • They showed drunk wobbling Danny slap Zach's "boob".
  • They showed Nia pointing out "we're mic'd"
  • They show Danny and Nia walk off the shoot site completely, with mics off.
  • I love when they show Danny's drink intake montages... right after he says he didn't drink that much LMAO.
  • All of Danny's confessionals are also timed to cartoon-level perfection. They show clips or other confessionals directly contradicting what he's saying lol.

They are making him look like a drunk abusive jackass, but also incredibly stupid lol.

Bravo is not holding back on this. It's claws out.

I think it's clear Danny is used to feeling invincible. Idk where that comes from. He does not think there will be any consequences for anything he's doing.

I wonder what the behind-the-scenes dynamic is there. Why did Bravo decide to push Danny under the bus all of a sudden? Who did he piss off? lol

Or is it not all of a sudden? Idk.

Flowers where flowers are due. Bravo is not protecting Danny AT ALL.
Like not even a little. lol

AFTER SHOW: Nia keeps defending Danny, Kristen keeps nodding. Danny keeps defending himself, Luke keeps nodding.

Luke agreeing with Danny on everything was the scariest part. Luke is clearly way worse off camera. I am scared for Kristen.

I wish they would listen to the concerns, for once, instead of villainizing everyone who calls out Danny's bad behavior. It's scary how Kristen and Nia keep each other trapped in abusive relationships.

Both of them deserve better friends. And better partners. Everyone does.

They keep hating on Lala... while Lala only says good things about Nia and Kristen. Lala says Nia thanked Lala... but now Nia is hating on Lala behind her back... all because Lala stepped up for Nia. It's so mean girl coded, sorry.

This is why no one speaks up for Nia. Nothing will change... but Nia and Kristen will hate on you after.

Jesse speaking up, even a little, was redeeming him. He did trying to explain the situation to Danny.

The after show? Danny and Nia are blaming Lala for "inserting herself"

Yeah, Danny is not appologetic at all. He keeps making excuses. He keeps justifying his behavior. He and Nia keep blaming Lala.

I can't believe Nia is hating on Lala, the only person who stood up for her. No wonder no one ever speaks up for her. It's pointless.

If you speak up against Danny, Nia and Kristen will for you!

We have seen how this plays out...

Nia will make excuses for Danny.
Kristen will attack everyone calling out Danny.
Kristen will spread rumours about everyone calling Danny.
Kristen, Nia and Danny will villainize everyone calling out Danny.
Then, Kristen, Nia and Danny will use the rumours every time other people bring up Danny's bad behavior.

Please resist the urge to hate Lala for this... no matter what Kristen brings up this time.
We can't let this tactic work on us again.

-

Also, Jasmine and Zach confirm that that's how Danny speaks to Nia all the time. This friend group is used to Danny's abusive behavior, and their phony behavior on camera. And no one is allowed to call it out on camera.

This clip from the aftershow is so telling.

Danny's 2 year olds have more acting gigs than Danny, this year...?

TLDR: Danny has 0 acting gigs this year, his 2-year olds have already acted in 10 sitcom episodes.

Soon he'll be mooching off them completely...

-

This year... Danny has done nothing but a voice over gig and the Valley.

His 2-year old twin daughters (Isabelle and Zariah) have been booked and busy. They have been on 10 episodes of Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage (It's a show in the Big Bang Theory Universe). And also been on the Valley!

I think it's just funny to think that his 2-year old daughters have more acting credits even if Danny's "huge new movie" is real. LMAO.

-

I have my own concerns about parents who make their babies work without their knowledge or consent. The ethics and history of "child performers" are obviously horrific. But I'll keep that darkness out of this post.

"Daniel got a great work opportunity on a huge new movie." - Nia

ok Nia. lol

-

“Daniel got a great work opportunity on a huge new movie,” Nia explained as to why he will be absent from tomorrow night’s live taping. “He’s so bummed to not be in NYC. He was planning on being there.”

She also shared they tried to see if they could’ve made today work, where he would’ve flown into NYC quickly to tape the show and gone back home, but it “unfortunately didn’t work out.”

Nia pointed us toward Danny’s Instagram Story for his statement, as he addressed the topic as well.

“A little change of plans this week,” Danny wrote. “Instead of heading to NYC for press, I’ll be staying in LA working on an incredible new project that came together last minute and was way too good to pass up.”

“Feeling very grateful and blessed,” he added. “More to come.”

Jason's behaviour towards - Jax vs Danny

Jason seems to be the most hated man on this show. And every time I ask someone why they hate him... it's about Jax vs Danny. Why didn't he have the same energy for Jax, that he had for Danny?

This comes up a lot on every thread... and people just keep repeating the same thing over and over again... it's tiring. oooof. Let's just talk about it here, and just move on, omg.

Just to be clear, I hate both Danny and Jax. I'd prefer to have neither of those abusers on my screen. But this is not about my personal opinions.

-

Here's why I think they get different treatments from Jason:

1 - Danny was directly disrespectful to his wife. Jason always chooses his wife's side, over everyone else, always.

2 - Danny insists he does not have a problem. He is not an alcoholic, he's just tired. He did not sexually assault women, he was just drunk. He is a great husband, so very supportive. He is perfect and his haters are crazy.

Jax is fucked up, but he knows what to say to manipulate people. Jax at least admits to having severe problems (mental health and drug addiction), and he was asking for help.

I also think Jason didn't want to publicly bash someone already at absolute rock bottom. Like kicking someone when they're down?

3 - Nia insists there is no problem. Nia has never said she needs help.

Brittany specifically asked for Jason's help... multiple times.

  • Brittany asked Jason to get Jax out of their house, and drive him to rehab. And Jason did that.
  • Brittany asked him to tell Jax to stop harassing her. And Jason did that.
  • Jason also made sure Jax had someone else to reach out to, so he didn't feel ignored/bored enough to rage-text Brittany. Which Brittany thanked Jason for.
  • Jax is clearly a misogynistic asshole, that needs to hear it from men for anything to register. Jason stepped up to be that man.
  • Brittany asked him to show up for her in that way. And he showed up.

4 - It is not Brittany vs Jax. He's not taking his side over hers. Jax getting better, being a better coparent, is in everyone's best interest. Brittany and Cruz want that too. They're all on the same team there.

And Brittany clearly still thinks of Jason as a good reliable friend.

-

Idk why he gets so much hate. He's the only straight man on the show who's not abusive towards his partner. He is the only man on the show to consistently show up for women. He's the only one who has a steady career, outside of the entertainment industry.

And somehow he's also the most hated male character on this show?
It's so weird. Make it make sense.

This show should be a mandatory watch in schools

It will teach students not to centre their lives around partners.

Plus I'm sure it'll reduce teenage pregnancies. Perfect contraceptive ad.

Hell, I'm not a teenager, and now I'm convinced I don't want kids after watching this show. I also no longer want to be married.

All thanks to the Valley.

Could be a life-changing watch for kids in schools lol.

TIL: Brock protected Melissa and Jasmine from Danny!

I didn't know Brock stepped in to stop Danny's attacks! Who knows what would have happened if he had not intervened?

If my husband was sexually harassing my friends, and sexually assaulting women... people had to physically stop him... yeah, he would not be my husband no more!

-

Still watching the aftershow, and more weird things they talk about:

  • Nia heard about it from Brittany. Not Danny.
  • Danny thought he molested Michelle (not Melissa). So he apologised to Michelle's ex-husband Jesse. lol what.
  • Jax got an apology before the 2 gay women he molested and harassed.
  • Jax's response: "You were fine by me"

Why is Nia still married to this creep?
Why is he still allowed to drink?
How do women feel safe being around him when he's drinking?
Does she let him be around their young daughters?

How did the audience defend this behavior?!

Unpopular Opinion: Jason seems like a good partner and a good friend

I was just watching the Aftershow, and the amount of grace he gives to Jax... like ugh. It's annoying but also endearing.

Personally I think Jax is just a bad person, but Jason seems to think he's sick? Seems like he genuinely wants to help Jax overcome his addiction and deal with his mental health.

He drove him to rehab, he talks about visiting Jax there (even when the cameras are not there), and running errands for him if Jax needs anything. Most friends would bail, and should bail. Jax does not deserve to have a friend this good.

And of course, it must take a lot of patience and heart to be with someone like Janet.

He never speaks badly about her, he goes out of his way not to embarrass her. He backs her up, no matter what fight she chooses to fight that day. Even when she's being completely unreasonable.

Also looks like he's on the show because she wants to be. He seems to not like attention, is usually in the background. The only times he jumps into action is when she's being cornered and no one else is backing her up.

He is her ride or die.

Seems like a chill guy, outside of Janet.
Seems like a good partner. Seems like a good friend.

If this Kiana girl is dating Schwartz for clout, I would say it's working.

  • She was at 11k followers, not gaining any followers.
  • 23-04-2026: Tom went public with his relationship. She gained 1k followers.
  • 06-05-2026: Valley episode featuring her went live. She gained 2k followers.

That's 3k new followers, 30% increase, in less than a month. WILD.

Now, she's gaining 200-300 followers, a day. Earlier it was 0-30 new followers a day.

All thanks to Tom Schwartz and Bravo lol.

If you're a data nerd like me, the screenshots would be interesting for you.

u/phonetoni13 — 10 days ago

Do we think Danny was better to Nia when they met? Or has he always been such a tool?

How did he convince her to marry him? She won Miss USA a year before they got married, I think?

u/phonetoni13 — 12 days ago

All he had to do was post an instagram story, unfollow Baldoni and give out a few statements to the press, and he got the biggest boost in his career in exchange.

Then he distanced himself from all of it, and never spoke about it again.

He's the only "winner" in this case. He lost nothing, he only gained.

Having no morals, no ethics and no spine seems like a desirable quality in Hollywood.

ETA: He went from a no-name actor with no upcoming gigs, to getting signed on as the only male lead alongside Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. Now, he has his own Production Banner, that has a signed deal with Lionsgate. He got more out of Lively's sham lawsuit than she did lol.
