Jason Caperna Defends Himself Against “Puppet” Claims on The Valley
Updated May 29, 2025
Jason Caperna, a cast member on The Valley, is pushing back against allegations that he’s acting as a “puppet” for his wife, Janet Caperna. The accusation arose after Jason confronted danny Booko about his drinking habits on a recent episode.
During the episode, Danny Booko, also 41, labeled Jason, 41, a “puppet,” suggesting that janet, 35, had influenced him to address Danny’s drinking.Kristen Doute, 42, echoed this sentiment, claiming Jason seemed to have been coaxed into the conversation by his wife.
Danny booko recalled the confrontation on The Valley: After Show,saying,”For him to come at me as hard as he was,I was very surprised and caught off guard.” He added that Janet “probably sent Jason to attack [me] to keep the heat on me,” suspecting that Jason was being a puppet.
Jason Caperna refuted these claims, pointing to Danny’s marriage with nia Booko, 35. “Maybe that speaks more to him and Nia’s relationship,” Jason said. “Janet doesn’t tell me what to say or do… Janet and I don’t strategize about how to take people down.”
Janet Caperna responded to the accusations, stating, “Jason is his own person. I guess it’s convenient for Danny to say, like, ‘Janet just controls Jason and puts words in his mouth.’ No.Your behavior was so inappropriate [that] Jason had his own strong opinion about it.”
Kristen Doute claimed she has noticed a change in jason, alleging that Janet is always “gossipy, catty, louder” and that the way Jason handles situations now is unlike the Jason she once knew.
Jason clarified that his issue with Danny wasn’t just the drinking itself, but Danny’s subsequent denial and “gaslighting.” He stated that Danny’s claim of having onyl “one seltzer and one shot” was a “boldfaced lie.”
The confrontation stemmed from an incident where Danny acted inappropriately with Jasmine Goode, 37, and her fiancée, Melissa Marie, while intoxicated. Jasmine stated that jason having her back was “amazing as as a friend, I would do the same thing.” However, she also acknowledged that Janet might have been involved, saying, “I think she does push him a little bit because I think Jason’s a little reserved.”
Zack Wickham, 36, felt that danny still owed Jasmine a bigger apology and didn’t like seeing Jason approach Danny “on this high horse,” suggesting Jason had “ulterior motives.”
“Janet doesn’t tell me what to say or do, and I listen … Janet and I don’t strategize about how to take people down,” Jason Caperna said.
