The Valley Cast Calls Out Danny Booko After “Inappropriate” Behavior
The Valley cast is concerned for their friend.
Several of Danny Booko's costars called out his drinking once again during the Bravo reality show's May 13 episode.
After the actor passed out cold after wine tasting in Santa Barbara, Brittany Cartwright wondered, "Do you think Danny is, like, too drunk to come to dinner?"
Jasmine Goode then detailed Danny’s behavior towards her and Janet Caperna.
"Before dinner, me and Janet were talking and she told me that she caught Danny in the cupboard taking shots and it kind of made her feel uncomfortable," she said in a confessional. "Because we all know he has an issue with drinking and he gets kind of inappropriate. I've dealt with this dark side Danny before."
The situation especially bothered Jasmine given that she previously detailed a separate incident with Danny at Jax Taylor’s bar.
"On Halloween last year, we were all at Jax's bar and Danny definitely had a little too much to drink," she alleged. "He grabbed my thigh and told me to 'go get daddy a drink.' And I was just like, 'Wait, Danny, if you don't back the hell up off me right now.'"
But he also acted inappropriately towards Jasmine's girlfriend Melissa Carelli, as the Bravolebrity continued, "And I found out that he grabbed Melissa's ass too."
And while Danny did later apologize to the couple for his behavior—"That was completely out of my character," he told them during the April 29 episode. "I am so sorry."—Jasmine noted, "Just knowing he's taking shots in the cupboard, it's like, 'Okay, is gonna do something he shouldn't be doing?' You can't just go around grabbing your friends' asses and telling people to call you daddy."
But Jasmine and Brittany weren't just upset with Danny. They also took issue with his wife Nia Booko making excuses for him.
Especially after the mother of three told the group on her husband's behalf, "He's very sleep deprived. He needs to catch up." However, several cast members weren't buying it.
While Brittany responded under her breath, "It's just like, 'Come on, we all know that he's a drunk,'" Janet added, "I think, though, that she knows how much he's drinking."
Meanwhile, Jasmine explained in a confessional, "I know Nia comes from the pageant world and everything is buttoned up and perfect. I think right now she's trying to give us that Miss USA answer. Like, 'He's taking a nap.' Girl, we know what's happening here. Just say what it is."
Plus, Brittany noted in a confessional she believes it's "not fair" that Danny and Nia might be hiding problems in their relationship while she and Jax are going through a messy divorce on national television.
Ultimately, Jasmine was not down with Nia trying to sweep the issue under the rug.
"I get it, Nia wants to protect her partner," Jasmine said in a confessional. "But it's the whole playing naive, everything's okay. Everyone's calling bulls--t. We all can see it, especially when we have been a part of it, I have been a part of it. So, it's kind of triggering me and it's just making my head spiral a little bit."
