Wait, he really asked for a *receipt* after wiping her forehead during recovery? Girl, WHAT?
Oh honey, the tea is absolutely SCALDING on this week’s episode of The Valley, and we are living for the chaos. Brittany Cartwright just spilled the messiest details about her ex Brandon Hanson, and let’s just say the man managed to turn himself into the villain faster than you can say “mommy makeover.” According to Brittany, Brandon had the AUDACITY to ask for payment after traveling 200 miles and taking time off work to care for her following her cosmetic surgery. But here’s where it gets absolutely *rich* — he apparently failed to actually deliver on the care he supposedly sacrificed so much for. Darling, if you’re going to demand compensation, at least show up for the job!
On Season 3 Episode 10, Brittany didn’t hold back explaining how she got what the kids are calling “The Ick” — you know, that sudden repulsive feeling when someone does something completely unhinged. And honestly? We cannot blame her one bit. There’s nothing quite like someone expecting you to pay them for the bare minimum of human decency. The audacity! The entitlement! The complete lack of self-awareness!
What really gets us is that Brittany was literally recovering from a major surgical procedure. She was vulnerable, she needed genuine support, and instead of getting that, she got someone essentially treating her post-op care like a side hustle. It’s giving transactional relationship energy, and it’s absolutely vile. The Valley fans are absolutely LOSING IT on social media, with many pointing out that you don’t charge your ex for being a basic human. That’s literally just called being a decent person — and it should come with zero price tag attached.
The fact that Brandon didn’t even adequately perform the duties he later wanted to be paid for? *Chef’s kiss.* That’s not just disrespectful, that’s practically criminal incompetence. You can’t ask for payment when you didn’t deliver the goods, bestie. That’s not how economics work, and it’s certainly not how friendship works.
Brittany’s reaction is everything we needed this season, and honestly, The Valley just keeps getting messier and we are absolutely HERE for it. Sometimes people show you exactly who they are, and Brandon basically painted himself a giant neon sign that says “emotional unavailability with a side of greed.”
What do you think? A) Brandon was totally wrong to ask for money B) Brittany should have just paid him and moved on
