Summer House alum Paige DeSorbo slammed The Valley star Danny Booko as a ârat.â
On the currently airing third season of The Valley, Dannyâs behavior while intoxicated â as well as his treatment of his wife, Nia Sanchez â has been a hot topic.
On her Giggly Squad podcast, Paige took him to task.
âPeople talk about The Valley all the time, and Iâve never watched a single second of The Valley,â Paige began. âI was never a Jax [Taylor] fan. And I feel like he got like some like redemption for like a minute when the show started and like whatever.
She continued, âSo, it was just no one from Vanderpump [Rules] that like I would have tuned in for. But like now on TikTok, Iâll see clips and I donât even know any of their names.â
Paige then turned her attention to Danny and Nia, praising Nia but dissing Danny as a ârat.â
âThereâs this one girl on there and sheâs gorgeous. Sheâs beautiful. And her husband is a little rat,â shared Paige about Danny. âLike an actual rat.â
âAnd she like just had a baby and heâs â I mean, diabolical. Thatâs the thing. Itâs one of the craziest things,â she added.
Amid all of the backlash about his behavior towards Nia, Danny recently took to his Instagram Story to issue a public apology.
Danny began by admitting heâs âso sorryâ to the person he loves âmost,â his âbeautiful wife.â
âWatching these last few episodes back hasnât been easy,â he stated. âIt was a difficult season of life and a version of myself that Iâm embarrassed by and not proud of. A short fuse, stress, alcohol, and lack of sleep are never a good combination, but thatâs not an excuse. I should never have taken any of it out on you.â
Danny added that âbalancing parenthood and life can stretch you in ways you donât fully realize until you see yourself through a different lens.â
âI love, honor, and respect you deeply,â he continued, âand I did not show that in some of these moments.â
âNia, I love you so much,â Danny wrapped with sharing. âIâm grateful for you, our family, and this beautiful, chaotic life weâve built together. I thank God for you every day.â

On the May 25 episode of the Two Ts in a Pod podcast, Lala Kent, who has been very critical of Dannyâs behavior, reacted to his apology.
Claiming sheâs âgiving him the benefit of the doubt,â Lala went on to share she thinks Danny âwatched it and thought, âOh, this is a mirror, and I need to issue a statement.’â
âIt was hard to watch,â she elaborated. â[And] I didnât know what itâs like to be in a marriage for that long. But I also, I donât know how to cook, right? But I know what good food tastes like. I donât need to be in a healthy marriage to know what one looks like and what an unhealthy one looks like. Itâs just kind of like you see it and know.â
