Demi Engemann and her husband Bret are having a good laugh over recent viral drama involving a NSFW revelation. Former best friend and fellow star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Jessi Ngatikaura, shared a steamy secret about the couple earlier this week. Despite the uproar, Demi and Bret are determined to keep things light and humorous.
The drama unfolded when Demi posted a cheeky TikTok, showing her in a black silk robe, silently asking Bret if he had heard the "news." With a playful nod to the scandal, Bret, also in a matching robe, casually confirmed by peeking over a magazine page adorned with Fruity Pebbles — the cereal at the center of the controversy. Demi humorously polished off the scene by munching on a cocktail glass filled with the colorful cereal.
The couple took their comedic antics up a notch on Thanksgiving. In another TikTok, Demi appears holding a dish seemingly made with Fruity Pebbles, looking puzzled as she enters a room. The soundbite of Snooki from Jersey Shore plays, asking, "Why's everyone acting weird towards me?" This playful nod to pop culture features Bret's sons, Rome and Cole, chiming in with the voices of Pauly D and Mike from the viral scene.
"Was it something I said? 😔" reads the humorous caption accompanying the video.
Demi didn’t leave it all in jest. She took to Instagram Stories to directly address the situation. "What my husband and I did one-time behind closed doors was a consensual and private experience in our marriage," she clarified. Demi didn’t shy away from pointing out what she sees as Jessi's ulterior motives, noting, "It's very telling that she's choosing to break storyline and bring it up now, only after her own affair has come to light."
This tongue-in-cheek response from Demi and Bret may be their way of taking the power back, turning the spotlight away from drama and onto their ability to laugh through it. Their approach is all about keeping it light, even when the stakes are high.
