The Vanderpump Villa<\/em> cast reunited to address the season\u2019s biggest drama but instead there was a surprising cast absence and shocking revelations about offscreen hookups \u2014 including with some Mormon Wives.<\/p>\n

After the second season premiered in April, Hulu released a special episode<\/a> that reunited the cast with Lisa Vanderpump<\/strong> and Stassi Schroeder<\/strong> hosting the tense sit-down with Marciano, Hannah, Anthony, Grace, Andre, Gabriella, Tyler A., Ashley, Hagen, Lexee, Dominic, Tyler G., Alyssa, Bridget, Aidan, Sianna, Sheri<\/strong> and Sam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The biggest topic during the reunion turned out to be the stars of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em><\/a>. Despite Demi Engemann, Jen Affleck, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor<\/strong> and Mikayla Matthews<\/strong> only appearing in two episodes, Marciano was grilled multiple times about whether he actually hooked up with one \u2014 or more \u2014 of the cast once filming wrapped.<\/p>\n

Marciano left a lot to the imagination before plugging the second season<\/a> of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em>, which is set to be released on May 15. While reality TV fans await that premiere, keep scrolling for the biggest revelations the Vanderpump Villa<\/em> cast could actually discuss \u2014 including why Siadi was mysteriously missing after stirring up so much controversy:<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIf there\u2019s one thing the Vanderpump Villa cast could agree on, it was their distrust of newcomer Siadi due to an alleged fake accent, unprofessional behavior toward guests and more. Siadi started season 2, which premiered on Thursday, April 24, on top with a job in guest services and a growing romance with fellow staff [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The reunion didn\u2019t wait long to expose<\/a> certain couples who weren\u2019t mentioned on the show. While Andre previously dated Gabriella, it was his connection with Bridget that the cast wanted to know more about. Andre ran out of excuses when a never-before-scene moment showed him telling Marciano that he was using a \u201cgaslighting tactic\u201d to keep Gabriella and Bridget as options.<\/p>\n

Then there were claims Hannah and Sam had a \u201cmutual attraction\u201d to each other that went unaddressed during season 2. Hannah\u2019s ex Marciano was upset that he \u201cdidn\u2019t know\u201d about the connection but both parties fiercely denied being anything more than \u201cfriends\u201d since their time in Castello Rosato.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Marciano, he was accused of sleeping with Faith, who was previously a guest, when she visited Las Vegas. Marciano didn\u2019t deny it \u2014 and he didn\u2019t deny making a move on Lisa Vanderpump<\/strong> when he was drunk at an opening for one of her restaurants.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou told me in great detail in front of many people exactly what you would like to do to me and how you would like to do it,\u201d Lisa claimed. \u201cDo you not remember that? \u2026 I [told you I] don\u2019t have the energy or the time or inclination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cast Connections That Fizzled Out<\/h3>\n

While reflecting on her relationship with Tyler, Lexee referred to it as \u201ctoxic,\u201d which he didn\u2019t disagree with at the reunion. Tyler then revealed he didn\u2019t continue his romance with Lexee but he did keep \u201cin touch\u201d with the Mormon Wives cast after filming wrapped.<\/p>\n

There was also an awkward argument between Hannah and Bridget \u2014 over Marciano. After Hannah called Marciano \u201ccalculated\u201d<\/a> for trying to sleep with her roommate, Bridget jumped in to say she could understand the appeal since she was \u201cso pretty.\u201d<\/p>\n

So did Marciano allegedly hook up with<\/a> Demi? According to him \u2026 probably.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first it was a physical attraction. I thought she was very beautiful. We have a really good connection,\u201d he recalled before claiming their bond got stronger. \u201cI threw it out there. That led to a two-hour conversation. There were genuine feelings that developed in that conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marciano admitted he was confused on whether Demi was a swinger with husband Bret Engemann<\/strong>, which his costars reminded him meant Demi and Bret would have wanted to hook up with him together. (While Taylor Frankie Paul<\/strong> from Mormon Wives was involved in a \u201csoft swinging\u201d scandal, none of her costars said they were a part of it.)<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a rumor that came out that we hooked up at TomTom. Demi and I had a very strong attraction in the castle that led to something outside of the castle,\u201d he claimed. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t just Demi. It wasn\u2019t just Demi I was interested in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hannah fired back that Marciano was also interested in Demi\u2019s \u201cbest friend\u201d and that is when he recommended viewers find out the whole story when season 2 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em> premieres on Hulu.<\/p>\n

Demi, for her part, denied any romantic entanglements<\/a> with Marciano \u2014 during or after filming came to an end.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing happened with Marciano. At the expense of sounding rude, there wasn\u2019t even a remote attraction to him. It sucks that women can\u2019t be kind and friendly and even playful with men in this world without it being taken as, like, you\u2019re open. I had a rock on my finger the entire time I was there,\u201d she exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> earlier this month. \u201cI brought up my marriage multiple times and they were told that we were married women \u2014 so it sucks that we couldn\u2019t just go and have a good time and that he couldn\u2019t respect that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Demi continued: \u201cI acted the same way toward him that I did everyone else. So that\u2019s just my personality and I\u2019ll never diminish that for anyone. I\u2019m proud of the way that I conducted myself and for staying true to myself. I am equally as proud for the way that I\u2019ve handled it post-filming as well. [Bret and I though] will always communicate our way through any hurdle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you can see, Siadi is not with us today. He has since moved out of the country and he is unable to attend,\u201d Lisa told the cast. \u201cBut there\u2019s not denying he was at the center of many conflicts. There\u2019s a lot to unpack.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those who need the cliff notes version, Siadi found himself at odds with his costars due to an alleged fake accent, unprofessional behavior toward guests and more. (Siadi hasn\u2019t addressed the controversy because he has no public social media.)<\/p>\n
