During The Valley: After Show, Danny confirmed that he intentionally concealed his drinking during filming.
“I did have a drink and wasn’t showing it. I was hiding it,” he admitted while reflecting on the controversy. He also said he regretted being deceitful.
The admission came after viewers watched scenes that appeared to show Danny denying he had been drinking despite footage suggesting otherwise, fueling criticism from both cast members and fans.
His Public Apology Didn’t End the Debate
Earlier in the season, Danny publicly apologized to his wife, Nia Sanchez, after viewers criticized the way he spoke to her during an alcohol-fueled argument.
In his statement, Danny said he was embarrassed by his behavior and acknowledged that stress, alcohol, and lack of sleep were factors—but emphasized they were “not an excuse.”
While some fans appreciated the apology, others questioned whether acknowledging mistakes was enough.
Lala Kent and Cast Members Wanted More Accountability
The controversy intensified when Lala Kent accused Danny of shifting blame instead of fully accepting responsibility for his actions.
Several cast members also questioned why Danny felt the need to hide his drinking if it wasn’t a larger issue, creating one of the season’s most heated discussions.
Fans Remain Split
As the season has unfolded, viewers have remained divided.
Some believe Danny has shown genuine remorse by apologizing publicly, admitting he lied, and acknowledging his mistakes.
Others argue that repeated incidents and admissions of hiding alcohol suggest accountability requires more than words. Reddit discussions have reflected both viewpoints, with many viewers debating whether his behavior has truly changed.
Will the Reunion Change Fans’ Minds?
With the The Valley reunion bringing the cast back together, many fans hope Danny will directly address the criticism surrounding his drinking, his apology, and the concerns raised throughout the season.
Whether viewers believe he’s taken enough accountability remains one of the biggest unanswered questions heading into the reunion.
