The Valley Michelle Saniei said Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Kathy Hilton gave her a short piece of advice about Sanei's ex-husband Jesse Lally, who Saniei feels has changed in the years since they started dating.
The Context
Last year, viewers saw the demise of Sanei and Lally's marriage as they navigated going through therapy and seeing if they could repair a broken relationship. This season, viewers have watched the couple navigate the falling out of their divorce from co-parenting to relationships with other people and financial troubles in their relationship.
What to Know
On The Valley After Show on Tuesday, Sanei said Hilton gave her advice about Lally when the two ran into each other at an event.
"Some people just don't know how to deal with success," Saniei said Hilton told her.
Saniei attributed the change in Lally over the years to "money" and "success." She added that Lally was a "homebody" who wasn't interested in going out and then when their daughter was born he was "always gone."
During Tuesday's episode, Saniei and Lally got into an argument at a group wine tasting, where Saniei criticized Lally for spreading a rumor that she was an escort. She said she had proof that people were sending Lally money and asked, "Why is a gay guy sending you money?"

On the after-show, Lally said it wasn't a "huge" amount of money and was from one of the 50 guests the couple had at their wedding.
"She's just trying to do something again, so everybody hates me," Lally said on The Valley After Show.
Saniei also accused Lally of spending all of the couple's money and called him "broke" in a confessional interview during Tuesday's episode.
Lally told Us Weekly that the couple, who worked together in real estate, "lived a really great life and continue to live that life." He added that the real estate market slowed down in 2023 and 2024 so they're "both really at fault" for the decline in their financial situation.
What People Are Saying
Saniei, on The Valley After Show when asked why she married Lally: "He was very different when I met him. He was nothing like today. He was very simple actually and lived in a small one-bedroom apartment ... and he would always have me over and cook for me ... he was very different, and I fell in love with him because we grew together."
Lally on The Valley After Show: "We used to do fun stuff ... I got to bring her to the Hamptons for the first time and got her to Europe for the first time ... and we were really intimate and sweet and very rarely fought."
What's Next
As The Valley continues its season, the feud between Lally and Saniei is expected to remain a central plotline. Saniei's boyfriend is likely to continue to be seen on the show, while Lally's girlfriend will remain off screen, as part of a mutual agreement between the couple.

Dog Visits Vet, What Cat Siblings Do Once She's Home Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A German shepherd may be home safe after a vet's appointment, but her feline housemates aren't exactly rolling out the welcome mat. Racking up over 738,000 likes on TikTok (@romancedev), the video, posted on July 15, shows the dog sprawled out on the sofa, looking exhausted. But it is her cats' reactions that have caught the attention of internet users. One feline cautiously approaches for a sniff, while the other keeps a watchful distance, staring suspiciously from under a nearby chair. The scene ends with the more-cautious cat silently observing from the shadows—trying to figure out if this really is the same dog they knew before. As the caption puts it: "It's not her fault she smells different now." @romancedev Its not her fault she smells different now ♬ WTHELLY - Rob49 The clip may seem like classic feline drama, but animal behaviorists say there is more to it than meets the eye. The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) says that cats can experience a phenomenon called nonrecognition aggression. This behavior often occurs when one feline from a multi-cat household returns home after being away—such as a visit to the vet or groomer—and is suddenly treated like a stranger by the cat that stayed behind. The reason? Scent. The IAABC notes that the returning feline's scent is often masked by unfamiliar smells such as disinfectant, alcohol, iodine, or anesthetic gas from the vet's office. This loss of a shared "group scent" causes the other cats to see the returning pet as an outsider—and sometimes even a threat. While this phenomenon is said to be unique to felines, one commenter under the video shared: "My dogs and cats do it!!! It's like parts concern, anger, and afraid." How To Help Pets Reunite Peacefully Stock image: A cat sniffs a dog on indoor tiles. Stock image: A cat sniffs a dog on indoor tiles.

Reduce unfamiliar scents by bathing the returning pet or rubbing them with a familiar-smelling item from home. by bathing the returning pet or rubbing them with a familiar-smelling item from home.

TikTok Reacts The video has since racked up over 158,000 likes and nearly 500 comments. "Cat under the table looking like is bro ok???????????" wrote one user, earning 29,500 likes. Another posted: "The one under the table was almost convinced they gave them the wrong dog back." And a third asked: "Genuinely want to know what smell the vet office is pumping out that every animal is ready to square up with their pet sibling or act like they're strangers."

Hearts Melt As Dog Teaches Mini Golden Doodle To Swim 'Just Like Her'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The heartwarming moment a goldendoodle became an adorable swimming coach to a puppy friend has delighted the internet in a viral video. Jade, 30, from London, shared the moment her dog, Isla, and her parents' puppy, Luna, enjoyed a swim in the pool. "We spend every weekend in Surrey at my parents house, and since she was 4 months old, Isla has been teaching Luna to swim," Jade, who didn't share her surname, told Newsweek. The bond between Luna and Isla is clear as the pair jump into the pool together, with Isla leading the way. The swim lessons have paid off too, with Luna now confidently diving into the water on her own. "Luna now launches herself off the steps and takes herself for a swim," Jade said. "She gets very jealous if we are in the pool too and she wants to join." Pictures of Isla and the puppy Luna enjoying the pool together. Pictures of Isla and the puppy Luna enjoying the pool together. @isladoodlebear/Instagram Their adventures aren't limited to Surrey. Luna often visits Jade in London, where the pair continue their splashy escapades around the capital. "They swim in the lakes around south west they love it. Best of friends," she said. Both dogs are miniature golden doodles, a mix of Golden Retriever and Miniature Poodle. This mix means it is little surprise that Isla and Luna enjoy swimming. Golden Retrievers were originally bred for retrieving game from water, while Poodles were also bred to be water retrievers and even have webbed feet. With more than 800,000 views on Instagram since being shared earlier this month, people couldn't get enough of the adorable moment in the comments. "This is the best thing I've seen all day," said one commenter. While another wrote: "I love how she doesn't take the puppy out too far." "This is amazing!!!! Wow love how attentive and sweet she is with the baby! Wonderful," said another animal lover. This isn't the first time a puppy's swimming skills have gained viral attention. Earlier this year a man shared the moment that caused equal parts panic and pride when his 14-week-old puppy launched himself into the backyard pool. Concerned, the owner instantly got ready to jump in after Zoro the dog, but to his amazement the puppy worked it out, paddling with ease to the side of the pool.
