Danny Booko<\/strong> cancelled an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen<\/em><\/a> after publicly apologizing for his behavior on The Valley<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cTo the person I love most, my beautiful wife [Nia Sanchez Booko<\/strong>], I am so sorry,\u201d Danny, 42, wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Wednesday, May 20. \u201cWatching these last few episodes back hasn\u2019t been easy.\u201d<\/p>\n The couple were at odds in recent Valley<\/em> episodes over a drag competition, as Danny felt Nia, 36, wasn\u2019t devoting enough time to help him prepare. The couple had a blowout fight that broke the fourth wall during Wednesday\u2019s episode, as they both reminded one other they were still wearing microphones.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a difficult season of life and a version of myself that I\u2019m embarrassed by and not proud of,\u201d Danny went on. \u201cA short fuse, stress, alcohol and lack of sleep are never a good combination, but that\u2019s not an excuse. I should never have taken any of it out on [Nia].\u201d<\/p>\n Danny confessed that \u201cbalancing parenthood and life\u201d while filming The Valley<\/em> created a stressful environment for his family.<\/p>\n \u201cI love, honor, and respect you deeply, and I did not show that in some of these moments,\u201d he wrote to his wife. \u201cNia, I love you so much. I\u2019m grateful for you, our family, and this beautiful, chaotic life we\u2019ve built together. I thank God for you every day.\u201d<\/p>\n Danny released his public apology hours before he was supposed to be interviewed alongside Luke Broderick<\/strong> on Watch What Happens Live<\/em>. Host Andy Cohen<\/strong><\/a> confirmed on air that Danny had pulled out of their interview but suggested it was not due to the backlash over recent episodes. (Danny was replaced on WWHL<\/em> by costar Tom Schwartz<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n \u201c[Danny] booked a job and had to cancel to work,\u201d Cohen, 57, explained<\/a>. \u201cI believe him because if he canceled because he was scared to come here, we would have heard from our publicist that he\u2019s not up for it.\u201d<\/p>\n Cohen added, \u201cListen, he\u2019s coming to the reunion so he\u2019s going to deal with it!\u201d<\/p>\n The Valley<\/em> viewers did get some additional insight into Danny and Nia\u2019s tension on the latest After Show<\/em><\/a> episode. Danny insisted that his blowup with Nia was not at all related to the fact that they welcomed their fourth baby<\/a>, daughter Adelaide, last summer.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is number four,\u201d Danny insisted on Wednesday\u2019s After Show<\/em>. \u201cYou think I haven\u2019t done this three other times? I know exactly how to support my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Nia suggested that the heated argument was not indicative of how she and Danny communicate in their marriage.<\/p>\n You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n \u201cOne thing with me and Daniel, in our relationship in general, yes, we have tense moments; yes, we can be short with each other,\u201d Nia said. \u201cSometimes we\u2019re in this beautiful season where everything is really good, and sometimes it\u2019s not. And what people will see through this window of time is, there were so many tense moments, and we were short with each other and had short fuses a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean that we have a bad relationship. It just means that we were having hard moments. And we\u2019ll keep working on it, because we\u2019re in it for the long run. And we\u2019ve been together for a long time. And we know that those moments don\u2019t define our entire relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n The Valley<\/em> airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
