“Vanderpump Villa” star Marciano Brunette i suing “Secret Lives of Mormon Lives” star Demi Engemann for defamation … he says her sexual assault allegations against him are a bunch of baloney.
In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Marciano claims Demi is damaging his reputation by falsely calling him a “sexual predator” and accusing him of sexual assault.
He says she’s lying about their interaction last year at the “Vanderpump Villa” in Italy … claiming the kiss they shared off camera was totally consensual, despite how Demi has been portraying things on social media and TV.
Marciano is also suing ‘Mormon Wives’ producer Jeff Jenkins … he says production “aired the allegations in a way designed to maximize impact while cutting Marciano out and denying him any meaningful opportunity to respond.”
He says production had “obvious reasons to doubt Engemann’s account, including inconsistencies, delay, and facts known to Production that undermined the claims” … but says the show “amplified the same accusations for profit.”
In the docs, he says Demi’s false claims have resulted in “lost professional opportunities, harassment by strangers, and lasting harm to Marciano’s reputation.”
Marciano is suing for defamation and going after Demi and the producer for damages … and he wants a “narrowly tailored injunction” that prohibits them from “repeating and republishing all of the statements that are adjudicated by this Court to be defamatory.”
We reached out to Demi and Jeff … so far no word back.
