Right now, it doesn’t feel like Danny Booko really cares what he says or does, as long as he is having a good time. Season 1 of The Valley showed the father of three as a family man. He was the friend who held reason when everyone else seemed hellbent on fighting over a perfectly nice dinner. However, Season 2 is casting a questionable light on the child actor. He is leaving some fans doubting his ability to stay the nicest guy in the group.
Danny Booko is embracing the dark side in The Valley Season 2
Jasmine Goode shed some light on the reason she was distancing herself from Danny. During a Halloween party, she found herself face to face with a drunk Danny. And the interaction wasn’t pleasant. She told cameras, “On Halloween last year, we were all at Jax’s bar and Danny definitely had a little too much to drink.” She shared, “He grabbed my thigh and told me to ‘go get daddy a drink.’ And I was just like, ‘Wait, Danny. If you don’t back the hell up off me right now.’” Jasmine also found out he touched her girlfriend adding, “And I found out that he grabbed Melissa’s ass too.”
Danny was told about his actions and evidently apologized to his two friends. He told them, “That was completely out of my character. I am so sorry.” But Jasmine was still upset, “You can’t just go around grabbing your friends’ asses. And telling people to call you daddy.” Danny arrived in Santa Barbara ready to party and gulped down all the extra wine in order to play catch-up. Before Nia Booko and the rest knew it, Danny was drunk. He not only gargled wine but also argued with the beauty queen while in the Uber.

When he got back to the house, Danny wanted to keep his party going. Jasmine noted, “Before dinner, me and Janet were talking. And she told me that she caught Danny in the cupboard taking shots. And it kind of made her feel uncomfortable. Because we all know he has an issue with drinking, and he gets kind of inappropriate. I’ve dealt with this dark side, Danny, before.” The entire house seemed to be on edge as Jasmine explained, “Because we all know he has an issue with drinking and he gets kind of inappropriate. I’ve dealt with this dark side Danny before.”
It didn’t help that the group of friends also felt like Nia was covering up for her husband. During Season 1 they portrayed their life as a perfect married couple, but Brittany Cartwright and the others are starting to see cracks. “I know Nia comes from the pageant world, and everything is buttoned up and perfect. I think right now she’s trying to give us that Miss USA answer. Like, ‘He’s taking a nap.’ Girl, we know what’s happening here. Just say what it is.” Janet Caperna and the rest all wanted Nia to admit her husband had drunk too much, yet it was obvious she was trying to protect him.

Danny’s good-guy image is long gone. After hearing about the Halloween story, watching him pass out, and arguing with Nia, it’s hard to empathize now when he complains about having three kids under three. It turns out Danny isn’t as nice as he thinks he is. While on Watch What Happens Live, he made sure to shade Janet, letting her know where she stands in the pecking order. During one of the clubhouse games, Andy Cohen asked Danny which wife he would least want to be married to and why. The Valley star should have known better than to answer, yet he did anyway.
Danny laughed maniacally, crossed his hands, and answered, “Janet. She’s a toxic individual.”I mean, if that doesn’t say it all. And while I tend to agree with Danny’s take on the super fan, it seemed out of place for him to be quite so cruel. So maybe instead of trying to defend the men of The Valley’s behavior, Danny should start looking inwards to make tweaks of his own. It will be interesting to see how he handles the rest of the season, especially as we know things are about to get very hard for the couple.
The Valley is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
