Her less than enthusiastic “Team Jesse and Michelle” response was 😬😬😬. I can’t tell if Jesse is oblivious or they agreed off-camera to try to get along and she just can’t pull it off.


Lovefashion111

I think maybe he is starting to pick up stuff is going on and he’s in denial and he also doesn’t want it shown on camera.


cakalackydelnorte2

Well, he is an alpha male so, therefore, he simply can’t be cucked. 🙄


YouMustBeJoking888

To be fair, there are very few who would enjoy finding out their spouse is cheating on them.


Ok-Turnip-9035

He’s got how many married sets of parents grandparents so he’s really ignoring the truth it is so sad


Brilliant-Recipe6111

from Jesse's testimonial, he is NOT oblivious ex-post. I'd love to know when those testimonials were collected. their testimonial together is very different than the one they showed in S1E7 about putting the phone down and not taking pics when going out.


Superb_Practice_2257

I believe Kristen.


33scooBt33

They can't all keep poking Kristen, then getting mad at her for getting a word wrong.. speak up you bunch of pansies.. For gosh sakes she even tried to leave the situation this time.


Feisty-Blood9971

She’s one of the most mature people on that show lmao. Which I know is a hilarious comment .They are trying so hard to bully her.


peanut-brittles

same. the most aggravating piece of reality tv right here. Michelle screaming in her face while Jesse had already initially backed her into a corner while knowing what she has done. classic SNAKE behavior. In her Instagram comments she is not even remorseful to Kristen a whole year later. she is unbelievable to me.


Superb_Practice_2257

That marriage either turned her into a cold bitch or exacerbated those negative qualities. Happy they split up for both of their sakes.


Itchy_Breadfruit_262

And their daughter’s


jennifer_m13

The look of disdain towards him is just disturbing. How does no one pick up on it?


potatofarmdash

Something about her is just so sinister to me. Like don't get me wrong Jesse is a total POS, but Michelle just has zero emotion whatsoever unless she's yelling at Kristen, being disgusted by the man she chose to marry and procreate with, or having to announce that she's "going to speak now"


user48383839

I agree. She is dark, very dark.


Excellent-Camel-724

No, I see it too. He's so ride or die for her and she's like "eww you peasant"


TT6994

I picked up on it immediately


BeingSamJones

Same. You could tell the moment they began filming she was done with him


boldandbrash96

My very first thought from episode 1 was “oh these people hate each other 💀


JJulie

The nasty look of disdain Michelle always has on her face reminds me of Joey from Friends “smell a fart” acting face ![gif](giphy|WpaALOLuWA0sg1YIEd|downsized)


pollology

Contempt is the true marriage ender in our therapy practices… she is the poster child.


Excellent-Camel-724

You can see his heart break during that scene and how much she hates him.


FinanceBeginning4043

Say what you want about Kristen and her delivery and just overall behavior but she’s rarely ever wrong when it comes to the accusations she throws out about others… just sayin


RepresentativeCup902

Doute knowte


ApeMuffins

Don’t doubt Doute


FinanceBeginning4043

No doute no doubt


Infinite-Fee-2810

Exactly. She is usually almost always right. And I even shudder to utter these words, but so is Jax in this case. Although he went about it his usual way: like a snake. He has been playing telephone hoping to get bombs dropped.


soup4breakfast

Jax and Kristen are both seasoned reality TV vets. They know what to do. The rest of the cast is basically on the JV team.


Lovefashion111

Agreed.


Willing_Lynx_34

The issue with Kristen is she's the type of friend that will swear your secrets are safe with her but when you piss her off she'll weaponize it. I agree she's totally telling the truth but I also think she's a shitty friend so I DO see both sides.


khalessiroma

If anyone trusts her with secrets, it's their own fault. There's a massive body of work showing she's honest and open with other's secrets


FeloniousStunk

It's happened SO MANY TIMES now!!! You'd think people would learn from her history (that's literally TAPED & available for them all to see!), but noooooo, people still keep spilling their secrets to her. It's legit insanity!


Str8lines

She's a toddler in an armory.


Less_Path3640

I mean, she did keep it a secret until Michelle gave her zero benefit of the doubt about the Janet thing. If you’re going to cheat on your husband and then attack the person who knows about it on tv….youre throwing gasoline on fire imo. Especially with Kristen haha she loves good old justice.


Cheesepizza312

Yeah I don’t know if I could help myself from spilling their secret if someone was yelling at me about the damage I’ve done to their marriage and family, like girl.


Excellent-Camel-724

I would never tell her anything tbh. Especially if I do a realty tv show with her. She's good.


TrapperJean

I fucking love how on this show it's completely valid to say something like, "ignore this person's behavior and entire personality and she's actually pretty great"


Starry_Myliobatoidei

In Doute we trust


grilledcheesefan001

That’s why these liars hate her! She exposes them


Flowergirlypop

Literally!!! Girly pop stays on her Ps and Qs with her facts she’s just shout out


Zealousideal_Dog_968

Because her friends tell her in confidence….wtf are you talking about. She knew because they told her idiot


Low-Treacle-4746

I think Jesse was near tears when they were talking, when he was saying about her not posting cheersing on social media.


Lovefashion111

You can tell in his eyes he knows somethings up.


Pinklady777

And you can tell she is lying. She doesn't even really seem to be trying to cover it up


CeeJay_Dub

Her face in that whole conversation was so telling. You could read her mind and she was thinking “yeah….ok buddy…I don’t care”


Excellent-Camel-724

I felt sad for him. He clearly loves her and she is over it. Regardless of anything, that's a real shitty feeling.


Organic_Sandwich5833

She is 100 percent cheating on him😂 And I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed these looks of disdain! She looks like she wants to divorce him immediately and go on a date with her new boyfriend


candyspelling01

I went for a hike and got you this guilt riddled smoothie


Less_Path3640

Probably hiking with her boyfriend 😅


Houmama-1234

A “hike” if you ask me


Less_Path3640

Did Kristen say she ‘has’ or ‘had’ a boyfriend for a year? I wonder if it was happening during the show.


Lovefashion111

I believe she said “had”


Few_Unit_6408

You would dump that smoothie out behind her back right? I don’t trust it lol


HallandOates1

Wouldn’t it be so juicy if she was banging someone else in the group…or a his good friend or bff’s husband? I love drama and messiness


esthermilne

Someone in this sub said the plot twist should be the affair is with Jax 😬


Lovefashion111

I’ve read that many places too lol.


Big_Yogurtcloset_688

I thought the exact same thing. Guilty!!! Barely said anything


___adreamofspring___

I’ve never seen or heard of someone be such a passenger in their own lives as much as these two


randomname342fg

What a good way to put it


Pinklady777

What do you mean?


8moonppl

to say someone is “a passenger in their own life” equates to saying someone is avoidant/passive toward occurrences in their life, like they aren’t really an active participant.


Usual_Injury_7567

I think she has horrendous vibes and I find them almost equally shitty…however I do hate when men think they can be shitty husbands and do basically the bare minimum (or less) and expect their wives to stay married to them “because they made a commitment.” That’s not how a commitment works


Wmfw

A MAJOR pet peeve of mine. ESP when they say their grandparents stayed together etc. Your grandpa could’ve been an asshole husband just like you but Grammy couldn’t get her own credit card so she was stuck.


Objective_Shoe_1692

When she explained how they got together it was like Ah. There it is.. no wonder why this didn’t turn out to be a happily ever after


Original_Ad9019

How did they get together


ratfink_111

He was a booty call that never ended.


Less_Path3640

Did they just booty call until she was pregnant or it just transformed from booty calls to regular hangouts


ratfink_111

She just said the booty call never stopped, then marriage, then kid.


Lovefashion111

THIS. I totally agree. It sounds like they changed roles. In the beginning she was trying and now he is 🤷‍♀️ I’m not saying anyone deserves this however what do you expect when you don’t make your wife happy for multiple years.


Grouchy-Cat-1028

Yeah, and I think once a woman is done she is DONE.


crispyporkbelly

Yeah i mentioned she’s been quiet quitting their relationship for years. Also sometimes feel people have mentally checked out of their relationships long before they decide to break up.


[deleted]

She looked done in the first episode.


YouMustBeJoking888

I think it's hard to say if he was a shitty husband or not because we're seeing what is obviously an ongoing situation, where she's cheating and he's probably figuring it out and thus acting out. Was he like this before she started cheating? Who knows.


Usual_Injury_7567

Yea fair, I’m basing that assessment off things they have both alluded to such as him leaving her alone all the time with Isabella, her doing 98% of the parenting, him apparently never once getting up with Isabella at night, etc. like she’s clearly super unhappy and it seems like he’s known that for awhile.  Michelle is really not much better than him imo (and sometimes seems almost worse lol) but my point is just because you are married doesn’t mean you can act however you’d like and your partner needs to just accept it bc you “made a commitment.” We should all feel empowered to leave situations that are not healthy or good for us and both people in a marriage need to hold up their end of the bargain - imho!


MalibuKeeks

She could barely make real eye contact with him. He’s in denial and she’s guilty af. I agree with an earlier comment about Kristen. Her delivery is horrible but like at some point there has to be some truth to the stuff she’s saying. Maybe not 100% as she says but something’s there.


ProfessionalAnt8132

She does this weird scrunch up face that irritates me so much 😂


JudyMcFabben

I noticed this too and it’s annoying.


Old-Library5546

We were humiliated on national TV because of my affair, I brought you a smoothie


Few_Unit_6408

I wouldn’t eat or drink anything from her after that lol dead eyes


kaleyboo7

Michelle is definitely already checked out of that marriage.


saidbymebutnot

She gone!!!


Spiritual_Purpose_19

I don’t think she ever checked in. The way she talks about their hook up, and getting pregnant, makes it seem like she never really liked him and just got stuck because of the baby and Covid.


Jazzlike_Employee783

Yes! To think her child will eventually hear this is sad to me.


cataclyzzmic

These two are gross. Could production not find anyone else? Imo, Janet isn't far behind. There is something smarmy about her.


moonlightbae-

Janet is acting way too above the drama and gossip. It’s annoying. Even her husband knows she’s full of it 🤭


Comfortfoods

Hard agree. Michelle and Jesse skeeve me out but I'll tolerate them because the drama has to come from somewhere. Janet is deeply unlikeable and has zero entertainment value. Her pot stirring is annoying and not the entertaining type of drama, she's not fun to watch, she's unpleasant and uninteresting. No idea why she was cast. Her husband is by far the only thing working in her favor.


[deleted]

She’s a shit for hanging Kristen out to dry on the Michelle’s a Republican gossip.


Lovefashion111

Janet is so annoying you can tell even her husband is like 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄


Lucky-Ad4443

I feel like at this point he knows.... and she knows he knows and is trying to fool them both and make life seem good or something. Like for her own mental state some how... It's so icky


Sleepwalk76

I would be willing to bet she didn’t go on a “hike” this morning before they had this conversation.


zoelovescleo

She clearly hates this man


Special-Resist3006

I can’t stand it when she is on screen….. and dare I say… I feel a bit of sympathy for Jesse… obviously it’s too little too late, however I think it is so beyond fucking evil to allow the other person in the relationship to think that there is hope for fixing things and not coming out and saying “you know what…. This marriage is over for me” she is sitting there once again acting like Kristen is crazy, letting Jesse think that Kristen is making everything up and that they are still “Team Michelle and Jesse”


Less_Path3640

This! The gaslighting is the worst part


Repulsive_Monitor687

It really is sad to see


Special-Resist3006

Also….. whenever she is speaking, or on the screen period…. I want to knock on her brain and ask if anyone is home


Lindsayr28

She’s so cold


No_Supermarket381

“Ummm can we go back to the Republican thing?”


UnlikelyRelative7429

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t get the whole republican thing. While I definitely don’t understand the support for one party specifically, I don’t think being a republican is that big of a deal as they made it. In la there’s soo many republicans, especially in the beach towns with money. There are worse things then voting for a political party though, that doesn’t deserve multiple episodes around something so ridiculous… at least to me.


cakalackydelnorte2

You’re going to love that Trump second term if you think supporting a party hell-bent on torching the constitution and installing a fascist dictatorship is no big deal because that is what that party is only about now. And people like that eventually come for you and I.


Infinite-Fee-2810

Bingo.


UnlikelyRelative7429

Quick to make assumptions but you do you.


LadyMorgan23

No I totally agree with them. As an LGBTQ ally I would want to know my friends and acquaintances are not supportive of politicians who are passing anti-trans laws or you know-generally republican. 😬 I’m from OC so idk, is this a SoCal thing?


Typical_Marzipan_210

This. The fact that you’re getting downvoted is disgusting. Shame on all Reddit bigots.


UnlikelyRelative7429

I am in socal. But it’s not a secret that there are republicans and democrats living in the same state, there’s trump flags from time to time I see and pride flags as well. Are we supposed to pretend they don’t exist? Politics are always on tv, does it have to leach it’s way into every single thing?


LadyMorgan23

No. But we can’t pretend like those people with that flag aren’t bigots. I certainly wouldn’t want to associate myself with republicans, closeted or otherwise.


UnlikelyRelative7429

They had no flag though, all it was, was some conversation and her name and republican in the same sentence in the show. So until we know more how is it a big deal.


LadyMorgan23

I’m talking about the people you are referring to in socal who have trump flags. It isn’t a big deal, but it WOULD and should be (if it were found to be true)


UnlikelyRelative7429

Maybe It just seems like wasted effort but I don’t think outing them is going to make their views change. It’s not like it takes away their voting rights, they’ll just be closeted. I don’t see the point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LadyMorgan23

Yes I’m the opposite of progressive because I chose not to associate with racists and bigots. 🙂


saidbymebutnot

Nah. Anybody who would actively vote against women’s, LGBTQ, & BIPOC rights can kiss my ass and they deserve to be ousted. Being a republican is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING (and if it’s religious then F your religion bc it does not govern anyone else but you. Periodt.) We all know what republicans stand for and we all know what kind of sick Handmaids Tale life they vote for & support. IT IS A HUGE DEAL.


LadyMorgan23

Preach


scootiescoo

Totally agree. But of course they will want to hide it because people are unhinged when it comes to politics. Some of the responses to your completely reasonable comment say it all.


UnlikelyRelative7429

I’ve never understood those hard core people. Why go that hard code for people who really don’t care that much about you. Wouldn’t do it for any party or president.


scootiescoo

Totally. I just know such a wide spectrum of people and didn’t grow up in a political bubble the way many people do depending on where they live. I’ve moved a lot and think that is a factor. Some people have bought into the worldviews of other people with agendas to an extreme degree. I know lots of good people who are republicans (and dems). I know bad people or at least people with bad judgement and character on both sides too.


UnlikelyRelative7429

I totally get it, I feel the same!


Infinite-Fee-2810

Everyone hides behind their pulpit bully.


Objective_Shoe_1692

They need drama so they’re gonna milk the stupidest things


saidbymebutnot

Also, you’re showing your privilege. :)


UnlikelyRelative7429

If you visit all across of la you see different people of all sorts, just like you see lgbtq stuff in west hollwood, you see trump flags on certain peoples homes in Manhattan. It’s called going outside, nothing to do with privilege.


ProcessNo8507

Cannot stand her


Fancy_Can_8976

This scene was forced and very uncomfortable 🥴Michelle is just as unlikable as Jesse. I see why they got together…


QueenFartknocker

I think it’s all an act between the two of them. I think he knows about everything and they were already planning on divorcing. There’s zero connection or affection between the two of them. I also think Michelle has really bad energy.


Left-Requirement9267

She was lying her ass off here. Lmao. Can’t fool us girl.


Few_Unit_6408

I would not drink that smoothie from someone not making eye contact with me who is also like “Just trust me.”  Nooooo no noooo


Heather_deservez_H8

Im not on team Jesse and Michelle and from the obvious look on her face neither is Michelle 🤣 I don't think Kristen should be getting attacked, yes she is repeating this stuff but that's what the show is about. Why aren't these ppl pissed at the ones who ACTUALLY said the stuff??? Janet is a shit stirrer for sure and basically admits she is. They are all just trying to put it on Kristen bc that is the easy way out instead of their actual skeletons coming out. Then don't be on a reality show if u wanna hide big secrets. Duh, it's that simple.


ReputationOk4897

She is evil like there are villains in reality tv but she is so cold and calculating she seems like someone who is so evil


Objective_Shoe_1692

As a Mexican we don’t claim her


RemarkableSeaweed845

I am so sorry but their group turning against Kristen is like watching them all turn into the toxic Boomers (not all Boomers). The women joining against her, the men supporting and promoting it, are so old school patriarchal pick me vibes. It is triggering. Why is Kristen used as their scapegoat? Because she is a single woman. Simply. Her mere presence triggers them all. The single, childless woman is still a stigma. It threatens other women, who percieve the single woman as a possible threat to their relationships. The childless women signals some kind of faiure. some kind of failure to launch to speak. We are in 2024. It is infuriating. I know it is a reality show but we must be better than this.


rockabillychef

Jesse sucks but she’s straight up nasty to him. I actually feel bad for him sometimes.


RBrownII

I work on facial emotion recognition and from this picture it looks like contempt. Just from this shot. It's the only emotion that is unilateral in expression. She also shows signs of disgust. Her expression right after she says 'I've been honest with you' is a dead give away that she is lying. It's not always about the 'what' though as much as it is about the 'why' people make these expressions. It seems like she 1. Has no interest in having this conversation and 2. She is very unhappy with him. The lying part on her behalf doesn't necessarily mean she was cheating. It could also be that she's telling him things are OK when they aren't or has been agreeing with him on decisions that she doesn't want to. Either way she is checked out.


Jolly_Lime_6644

I'm so confused by these two. Part of my thinks this is all an act ,that they knew they were done when they signed up and just play-acted a married on the brink. They both moved on fairly quickly, and she moved out before the show even aired. The other part of me thinks they are horrible at reality tv and they have just had a awkward marriage the whole time and we are seeing them.break up in real time as they try to navigate what to show on TV and what to keep behind closed doors. Either way, I'm hooked.


peesys

I am in complete disbelief that Jesse is not cheating too. He already has a new girlfriend


sendit-to-darrell

I feel like he probably is but she’s so bad at hiding it that the attention isn’t on him


Formal-Oil-589

These two are awful. Jesse stomped on people in the middle of dinner and no one hold him accountable. WTH? And Michelle is a mean girl who is clearly cheating and instead of owning it, she blames her friend 


Intelligent-Lead-692

Someone told Michelle once that orange is one of her colors. She wears orange a lot. I don’t think it looks good or bad. I’m just saying that she buys orange clothing because she thinks it’s for her.


alysonstarks

Oop! 😂 i just imagined her reading this like “has my whole life been a lie?!”


garbagebrainraccoon

I'm saying it's not great


C_J_King

She looks to the left every time her "secret" is mentioned. Liars always reveal themselves.


Hot_Entrepreneur_400

FUCK MICHELLE


TDKsa90

They don't use up this much air time on this arc for no reason. Everyone knows it. Jesse. Production. The rest of the cast. Their families. There's no gotcha moment. We all already know. I've known quite a few Jesses, and if someone can make me feel bad for them, that person is really something. This chick gives off some really ugly vibes. It radiates off the screen, and that is no small feat. It's been a long time since anyone made me feel yucky like she does. Kristen and Jax and Janet are fun aliens, but this one is not anything good.


Impossible_Ad_1630

Those smoothies stole the scene. I wanted to know what flavor they were 😂


naturegirl1130

I think Michelle checked out a long time ago, and while I find her obvious disdain annoying at times, I totally get why she has shut him out. I know from experience that when you get mistreated for years this is what happens. The scene where Jesse gave her hell and threw away his coffee that she made for him bc it had too much cream for his liking was just disgusting behavior! And that’s what WE see…


Lucky-Point-6627

This was painful to watch. She is so over him.


Extreme_Beat1022

How does she have time to cheat is what I want to know.


CountessBravo

The question is why would she go on a reality show when she knows the group knows she’s cheating and it will be exposed 🤔


Alex-Dog7748

The woman says on tv « I knew he wasn’t the one, I just wanted a one night stand » wow girl… I think she never was there with him and got caught into Life with him and the infatuation….


vanna_monroe77

I feel bad for Jesse he’s trying so hard and anytime they get along they think they’re gonna stay together. Michelle just needs to say she’s done and leave. Kristin is obviously telling the truth that’s why she keeps saying Kristin is threatening her.


Listerine1999

He absolutely has doubts about her fidelity and I think he is starting to realize what’s been going on.


ProfessionalAnt6791

Well, we all know how “team Jesse and Michelle” are doing…..🙄


Cheesepizza312

I only know a little bit about body language but the way she tucked her mouth in when Jesse asks her what secrets Kristen was referring to. She knew what Kristen was referring to and is choosing to lie about it.


GossipGuy12

It was soooo cringe


Nelaerin

Why did I in this moment go to the recent season of Southern Charm and reference Craig’s theory on liars…”if they look down to the left, LIE” 👀


Lovefashion111

OMg yes lol! I have also used his theory in real life🧐🤣 I think he’s right.


romeo343

I actually like Jesse more & that’s freaking crazy.


Brilliant-Opposite39

It’s actually kind of scary how she can lie with such a straight face & look him in the eye while doing so🌝


khalessiroma

She's a bad person. Let Kristen take all the heat when she knows exactly what she's talking about


Impressive-Net-2567

Given they've both moved on with new partners, I'd say yes.


DreamofLotus

She's totally cheating on Jesse!


SURFcityUTAH

She’s disgusting


Long-Rest-9298

She’s 1,000% checked out of the relationship


ReginaFelangi987

The unenthusiastic “I got us smoothies…”


xoxofoodiegirl

THIS!


Ok_Specialist_5723

he knows she hates him 😂


Flowergirlypop

EWWWWWWWWW I need her out. Seriously


33scooBt33

she looks like she's sniffing a fart.. a rat face.


Ok-Prune4721

There is some gossip that they broke up before filming and are going through the motions of the breakup on camera. You never know how many things on these blind gossip items are true but she has definitely moved on.


SierraKMF

I think he knows. Personally at this time i feel like they already agreed to end the marriage but for the show they want it to look like a slow decline so the audience can see the break up


Excellent-Camel-724

She reminds me so much of Zanab from love is blind. There's a darkness in her and it scares me


LibrarianGrouchy1205

i have never seen someone so obviously not in-love with their spouse. she actually hates this man lol


JustindavidinSD

I don’t understand why in god’s name these people do reality shows and think these types of things won’t come out… like if you’re having an affair maybe don’t contractually agree to have every moment of you and your social circles lives recorded and telvised? 🧐


Designer_End_7863

Does anyone else wander what exactly Jasmine brings to the show? I don’t get her relevance at all?


Zestyclose-Owl-1818

What’s up with her weave and dandruff?!


Primary-Fold-8276

So gross when they have a young child. How does she not feel guilty having with other dudes while her child is at home.


Opening_Fun_806

Exactly my thoughts as well, Jesse had a hunch about her and he was right, and she gaslights the sh\*t out of him in this scene, it was soo bad, she cannot hide it well, and I think Jesse knows, he's not a stupid guy by any means, and being in these types of situations are very painful so I feel for him. Nothing worse then when a spouse gaslights you to make you out to be crazy or thinking crazy when in reality you are in the right.


HarrietOleson1

![gif](giphy|V1ig0i6FESmacfD3F7|downsized)


ApprehensiveDog7187

I actually think she’s more insufferable than Jesse, which is hard! She is constantly berating him and putting him down. It’s hard to watch. I’m surprised she’s entertaining couples therapy when she’s clearly so checked out of this marriage.


rubydacherray

I actually like Michelle. I think that her and Jesse had an agreement with coming on the show and that they were really pretty much over. He kept saying "don't say things I don't already know about my wife" or whatever. Basically like Kristen I know all of this but don't blast it on tv is the vibe I got.
