What was supposed to be a romantic symbol of unbreakable love has quickly spiraled into one of the most talked-about scandals in The Valley universe — and Janet Caperna is right at the center of it.
On the latest episode of The Valley, viewers watched as Janet and her husband, Jason Caperna, got matching tattoos on their ring fingers, a gesture Janet claimed was a simple celebration of their commitment. But fans — and even some of her castmates — weren’t buying the love story she was selling.
Instead, social media erupted with accusations that Janet was using the tattoo not as a symbol of love… but as a last-ditch attempt to brand Jason publicly after weeks of cheating rumors that rocked their marriage on the show.
“You don’t tattoo loyalty, you earn it,” one fan commented on a Bravo fan page, sparking a flood of similar reactions from viewers who felt Janet’s move was more about damage control than devotion.
The criticism comes hot on the heels of Kristen Doute — never one to shy away from fueling the fire — reminding everyone that the tattoo happened after Jason was accused of taking off his wedding ring at bars. Kristen even went as far as to joke that she’d forever be part of the tattoo’s story.
Insiders say Janet has been privately fuming over the narrative being spun around her marriage. According to one source close to the cast, “Janet thought the tattoo would shut down the rumors — but it’s done the opposite. Now everyone’s questioning why she even felt the need to do it.”
To make matters worse, Amanda Batula allegedly warned Janet off-camera that “you can’t tattoo trust onto a man who doesn’t have it,” a comment that reportedly didn’t sit well with Janet and caused tension among the group.
Even Jason, according to insiders, confessed to friends that the tattoo felt less like a romantic gesture and more like “wearing a GPS on my hand.” One insider revealed, “Jason joked that the tattoo’s cheaper than therapy, but way more permanent — and not in a good way.”
The backlash isn’t just coming from the cast. Fans have been ruthless, branding Janet’s tattoo move as “embarrassing” and accusing her of overcompensating instead of addressing the real trust issues in her marriage.
“If you have to tattoo your husband to prove a point, maybe the point is that he’s not the man you think he is,” another fan commented on Instagram.
And while Janet continues to stand by her public statements — insisting that Jason is “very anti-cheating” and that she “trusts him fully” — the whispers backstage tell a very different story.
With Kristen fueling the fire, Amanda warning of deeper issues, and fans turning against the narrative, one thing is clear: the tattoo that was supposed to prove Jason’s loyalty may have branded Janet as a woman desperately trying to hold together a marriage cracking beneath the surface.
And as The Valley cameras continue rolling, insiders say… this story is far from over.
