Jesse Lally claimed he hooked up with the late Anna Nicole Smith for “a year or two” amid her past relationship with Howard Stern. The Valley star also revealed that Kristen Doute recently “reached out” during their feud, and he shared where they now stand.

Kristen fell into drama with Jesse after accusing his wife Michelle Lally – who he’s now divorcing – of having some kind of relationship with another man. Michelle fiercely denied it (and Jesse believed her), but the couple separated days after the season wrapped. Now, both Michelle and Jesse are in relationships with other people.

On the Popping Off podcast, via @breakingtherulespod on Instagram, Jesse claimed he was hooking up with Anna Nicole for “a year or two.”

“I would come to LA and she’d be in New York every once in a while,” explained Jesse, who said it happened around 2002. He joked he might have been the “light” that was “guiding her.”

He suggested the affair took place amid her relationship with Howard, and Jesse first met her when he flew to Miami to do a “shoot.”

“The first layout was an old James Dean [and] Marilyn Monroe photo where Marilyn’s naked on a mattress and James Dean has like jeans and no shirt on in front of her, and I literally walked over with no shirt on and sat down and she’s like, ‘Hi I’m Nicole,’” recalled Jesse. “And I’m like, ‘Nice to meet you.’ And then we moved out to the beach and I grabbed her and I pulled her down into the water … and everybody was so pissed cause she was — you know her hair was wet, her eyelashes all that stuff, and it ended up being what they ended up using.”

Later on when they were walking back wet to the set, Nicole allegedly said she hoped she wouldn’t get sick. Jesse then responded, “‘I have a ton of supplements and vitamins and stuff in my room.’”

Regarding The Valley, Jesse revealed that Kristen “reached out” to him amid their feud, and he now feels bad about what happened in the season.

He said she sent a “very sweet message,” which he “thanked her” for.

“Moving forward knowing what we all know now, I think Kristen and I will have a lot better relationship,” he said, via @byewighellodrama on Instagram.
