Jason Caperna is reacting to claims made in The Valley trailer that he took off his wedding ring to cheat on his wife, Janet Caperna.
“It’s tough because it’s not just a ring off. There’s definitely an implication there,” Jason, 41, exclusively told Luxury Handbag Shopping on Thursday, April 10 at the red carpet for The Valley season 2 premiere. “When somebody says you take your ring off, it’s not like, ‘Oh, I forgot it’. It’s like I’m doing it to try to get girls or something as if I take it off and they just flock to me.”
Jason joked that he always “thought that you get more girls if you have a ring.” Janet, 39, chimed in that women “flock to him already” and that he “doesn’t have to take his ring off” for female attention.
In The Valley season 2 trailer, costar Kristen Doute accused Jason of taking his wedding ring off when he goes out. While some have theorized that Jason removed his ring for nefarious reasons, he shared that’s not the case for him. (Jason and Janet tied the knot in 2022 and welcomed a son in December 2023.)
“People can be shady, but I am not one of those people,” he explained. “I would never do anything ever to jeopardize this lady right here is my wife and our son and the family we have.”
Jason added that viewers can “see how it all unfolds” when they watch The Valley season 2 which premieres on Tuesday, April 15.
For Janet, she described the whole ordeal as a “roller-coaster.”
“At first it was like, ‘Eh,’ and then as you think and sit with an accusation like that,” she told Us. “When he has the best character and moral compass I’ve ever met of anybody, you kind of go through these waves of it’s fine. And then no, it’s not fine.”
Janet hinted that viewers will see that emotional turmoil “unfold” throughout the season.
As for how Jason and Janet overcame the allegations, they credit their strong communication practices.
“We talked right then on camera about it. We had pillow talk about it later,” she said. “We’re lucky. We have a very strong foundation in our relationship. We’ve never had issues like that.”
Jason added that he and Janet “don’t allow” problems to “sit and stew.”
“We get it out,” he said. “It’s kind of our personalities too, to just kinda get those things out and not hold it in and that’s really helped.”
The Valley season 2 premieres on April 15 on Bravo at 9 p.m. ET.
