- Brunette said he frequently communicated with Engemann after filming and stayed at her family’s home, a characterization she disputes while denying any affair.
- Lisa Vanderpump told Access Hollywood she has seen “every ounce” of Vanderpump Villa footage and believes that gives the women “very good reason” to question Engemann’s account.
- Jessi Ngatikaura has acknowledged a kiss and an emotional affair with Brunette but maintains they did not have sex, while Brunette said he had stronger feelings for her.
- Tensions escalated online as Engemann posted and deleted a comment referencing Brunette’s late father, his brother condemned the remark, and podcaster Heather McDonald said Brunette told her he is preparing to sue Engemann.
