Marciano Brunette isn’t holding back amid his lawsuit against The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Demi Engemann.
Maricano, 32, shared a Reel via Instagram on Saturday, December 6, featuring the reality TV star miming trending dialogue about “getting even” with someone who has done you wrong.
“Somebody do something to me, I’ll do something to them, this is common sense,” the voiceover says in the clip. “So you believe in getting even? Hell to the yeah.”
The video comes just one day after Marciano filed a lawsuit against Engemann after she accused him of sexual assault.
Legal documents obtained by Us Weekly reveal Marciano and his legal team believe Engemann, 31, falsely described him as a “sexual predator.” He is further concerned about the impact the allegations could have on his career.
“The truth is straightforward. Engemann and Marciano met while filming in Italy. They flirted. They spoke privately. They shared a consensual kiss. They separated,” the documents read. “After filming, Engemann stayed in contact with Marciano for months through calls, FaceTime, texts, invitations, and even location sharing. That behavior confirms a continued relationship, not a person reacting to sexual assault.”
The documents also read, “They accuse Marciano of criminal sexual conduct he did not commit. They were published broadly, republished repeatedly, and framed to harden into ‘truth’ in the minds of viewers,” the documents continued. “The damage has been immediate and severe, including lost professional opportunities, harassment by strangers, and lasting harm to Marciano’s reputation.”
Demi, who is married to Bret Engemann, said during a The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives confessional in the show’s third season that physical contact between herself and Brunette was “unwanted.”

“Everyone is going to handle these kinds of situations different. You never deserve unwanted touch,” the influencer explained at the time. “No matter what it looks like, no matter what your relationship was like before or after, unwanted touch is unwanted touch.”
Marciano denied the allegations against him after the episode.
“It is unfortunate to see everything that is going on now, because everything that happened [on Vanderpump Villa] was consensual,” Marciano claimed on an episode of the “Juicy Scoop” podcast on November 25. “I will just flat-out say that the accusations she’s making against me are 100 percent false.”
He made a similar statement to People on November 20.
“I want to be absolutely clear: I am taking this matter extremely seriously,” Marciano said via the statement. “This is the most difficult situation I have ever faced, and the allegations against me are not only entirely false but profoundly damaging. I remain committed to addressing this issue fully and transparently.”
While speaking exclusively to Us in May, Demi insisted nothing happened between the pair.
Marciano Brunette offered an update on his relationship with Hannah Fouch — and things aren’t looking good. “The show actually helped our relationship a lot because we were not talking going into the show at all,” Marciano, 31, exclusively told Us Weekly. “Even when Lisa [Vanderpump] had asked about bringing another girl on and I […]
“Nothing happened with Marciano. At the expense of sounding rude, there wasn’t even a remote attraction to him. It sucks that women can’t be kind and friendly and even playful with men in this world without it being taken as like you’re open. I had a rock on my finger the entire time I was there,” she said at the time. “I brought up my marriage multiple times and they were told that we were married women — so it sucks that we couldn’t just go and have a good time and that he couldn’t respect that.”
