EXCLUSIVE The Valley's Jasmine Goode calls Nick Viall a 'clout chaser' after 'uncomfortable' moment on The Bachelor
The Valley star Jasmine Goode has broken her silence after Nick Viall quipped he wanted an 'apology' from her after their 'uncomfortable' moment during his season of The Bachelor.
Goode, 37, shared her thoughts on the Viall Files podcast host in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com.
Before she joined the cast of Bravo's The Valley, a spin-off of Vanderpump Rules, Goode was a contestant on Viall's season of The Bachelor in 2017.
At one point during the season, Goode confronted Viall about not getting a one-on-one date and shared her frustration by putting her hand on Viall's throat and playfully pretending to choke him.
Viall reflected on the moment during a recent episode of his podcast The Viall Files, which he co-hosts with his now-wife Natalie Joy.
'I would love an apology from Jasmine,' Viall said during the May 29 episode, which also featured fellow The Valley star Janet Caperna. 'I'm still triggered.'
'All the jokes aside [on] the Jasmine strangling me thing… that did make me uncomfortable. There was a blackout moment,' Viall said.
In response to his comments, Goode told DailyMail.com that Viall is a 'clout chaser' and insisted that her pretending to choke him was simply a 'joke.'
'Nick is a clout chaser,' Goode claimed. 'He wants attention because I actually did his podcast when he first started out and we joked about it. He laughed about it.'
'Number two, I did not actually touch him. It was gesturing,' she continued. 'And number three, when you're in that situation, I was a sister wife, this is my man, you're dating, this is your boyfriend.
'I'm sorry, I'm from [New] Jersey. If I'm upset with you, like, yes I want to choke you right now. That's how we handle things.
'So, for Nick to act like, "Oh, Jasmine," please. Really, Nick? Get something else. I know you want attention, but this is so Nick coded.'
DailyMail.com has reached out to Viall's reps for comment.
Elsewhere during Goode's interview with DailyMail.com, the reality star opened up about feeling 'triggered' by co-star Danny Booko's alleged drunken behavior in season two of The Valley, which premiered last April.
At the start of the season, The Valley star Jason Caperna claimed that Booko, 41, had been 'inappropriate' with Goode and Goode's fiancée, Melissa Carelli, during a Halloween party.
'Not too long ago, Jasmine was in a situation where Danny was blackout drunk and was really inappropriate,' Caperna explained during a confessional in the premiere episode.
'Danny approached Jasmine, put his hand on her thigh and said, "Get daddy a drink," referring to himself as "daddy."
'And then when she went to go get "daddy" and some other people a drink as well, he approached Jasmine's girlfriend Melissa and grabbed her butt.'
Booko later apologized to Goode and Carelli, telling the couple at co-star Brittany Cartwright's white party that his behavior was 'completely out of his character.'
However, Goode told her co-stars she still felt 'triggered' by Booko following a cast trip to Santa Barbara, California, in which he had missed a group dinner after a long day of drinking at a winery.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, Goode admitted that she wanted a second apology from Booko over the Halloween incident because she felt his original apology wasn't genuine.
'When this all happened, I got a text message from Danny and then he apologized to Melissa at the white party,' she explained.
'That's the only time. I know he keeps saying he's done this numerous times, and it wasn't multiple apologies. It was at one time at the white party.'
'Then we sat down at the white party and the first thing he said to me was, "Are you doing this to me right now?" And that just sent me.
'I was like, "Wait, I'm doing this to you?" Like, this is the first time you're seeing Melissa.
'This is the first time you're apologizing to her face, and this is what you're saying as you sit down.'
Goode continued: 'Right there, I was like, "This apology is not working for me."'
In last week's episode, Booko apologized again for his behavior at the Halloween party, which Goode felt needed to happen in order to move forward with their friendship.
'Having that conversation with him again, I think I needed him to understand, like, look, if you want a friendship with me, I want you to understand this is what you did to me and how it made me feel.'
New episodes of The Valley air Tuesdays at 9pm ET on Bravo.

White House threatens to pull billions of dollars from California's high-speed rail project
California's years-long effort to construct a high-speed rail faces yet another hurdle as the Trump administration said the project has no 'viable path' to move ahead and threatened to pull billions of dollars in federal funding. Sean Duffy, the US transportation secretary, released a compliance review report that said the project is in default of the terms of its federal grant awards, and said it has been beset by mismanagement, waste and ever-growing costs. 'Here's the cold, hard truth – there's no viable path to complete the rail project on time or on budget. California is on notice,' Duffy said, adding that 'it could soon be time' for funds to move to other projects. High-speed rail, long available in Japan and Europe, has been a dream for decades in California with supporters hopeful it could reduce the environmental impact in a state known for its rampant car use, connect the state and drive economic development with the creation of thousands of jobs. In 2008, California voters approved $10bn in funding for the bullet train, which was supposed to bring passengers from San Francisco to Los Angeles in less than three hours and be completed by 2020 at a total cost of $33bn. Seventeen years on, the project's estimated cost is expected to exceed $100bn. The state has now focused not on the original route designed to connect California's metropolitan areas, but on a 171-mile stretch in the Central valley, which is expected to be completed by 2033 at a cost of more than $35bn. The entirety of the line received environmental clearance for construction in 2024 and the project finally began laying down track this year. Frustrations over the delays and growing costs have mounted. In 2019, Donald Trump cancelled almost $1bn in funding for the project. The Biden administration, however, restored that funding and later allocated another $3.3bn toward the project. But California is still expected to come up with most of the budget, and it has so far. The state has supplied 82% of the $14bn already spent on the project. 'No state in America is closer to launching high-speed rail than California,' Gavin Newsom, the state's governor, said earlier this year. 'We're moving into the track-laying phase, completing structures for key segments and laying the groundwork for a high-speed rail network.' But in the report published on Wednesday, Drew Feeley, the acting administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), said the state has 'no viable plan to deliver even that partial segment on time'. 'What started as a proposed 800-mile system was first reduced to 500 miles, then became a 171-mile segment, and is now very likely ended as a 119-mile track to nowhere,' Feeley wrote. His letter said the review 'revealed patterns of unattainable proposals and unrealistic assumptions on a wide range of issues' as well as 'countless change orders for almost every contract', and cited a February 2025 report from the rail authority's inspector general that found the agency has 'no credible plan' to close the $7bn funding gap on the Central valley segment. The California high-speed rail authority has 30 days to provide documentation to show its compliance. The authority said in a statement on Wednesday that it strongly disagrees with the FRA's 'misguided' conclusions, and pointed to the governor's latest budget proposal, which includes at least $1bn a year for the project for the next 20 years. 'We remain firmly committed to completing the nation's first true high-speed rail system connecting the major population centers in the state.'

Trump names nominees to take over commands in the Middle East and Africa
President Donald Trump is nominating Vice Adm. Brad Cooper to take over as the top U.S. military commander in the Middle East, the Pentagon said Wednesday. If he is confirmed, it would mark just the second time that a Navy admiral has held the job. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a statement that Trump also is nominating Air Force Lt. Gen. Dagvin Anderson to head U.S. Africa Command. Anderson would be the first Air Force general to lead the command, which was created in 2007. Cooper is currently deputy commander of U.S. Central Command and has extensive experience serving and leading troops in the Middle East. The current head of the command, Army Gen. Erik Kurilla, is slated to retire after more than three years in the post. It is a crucial role as the region has been shaken by conflict, with the Trump administration pushing to broker a ceasefire deal after 20 months of war in Gaza and pressing for an agreement with Iran in negotiations over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program. A 1989 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Cooper commanded naval forces in the Middle East for close to three years as the head of the Navy's 5th Fleet in Bahrain. He left in February 2024 to take over as deputy at Central Command, which oversees U.S. military operations in the Middle East and is based in Tampa. Army and Marine generals have largely held the Middle East job since it was created in 1983. And two of the recent leaders — former Army Gen. Lloyd Austin and former Marine Gen. Jim Mattis, went on to serve as defense secretary. Central Command covers 21 countries across central and south Asia and northeast Africa and has overseen the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Syria and Yemen. The only Navy officer to ever lead Central Command was Adm. William Fallon, who resigned after a year and retired. At the time, Fallon said he was stepping down due to press reports that suggested he was opposed to then-President George W. Bush's Iran policies. He said the reports were wrong but the perception had become a distraction. Cooper is a surface warfare officer and served on guided-missile cruisers, destroyers, aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships. He commanded a destroyer and a cruiser. During his time leading the 5th Fleet, Cooper set up the Navy's first unmanned and artificial intelligence task force, and he led naval operations against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. He also oversaw the Navy's role in Operation Prosperity Guardian, the U.S.-led coalition created in late 2023 to counter Houthi attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. He previously served as commander of Naval Surface Force Atlantic and commander of U.S. Naval Forces Korea. Cooper is the son of a career Army officer and got his master's degree in strategic intelligence from the National Intelligence University. Anderson, nominated to lead operations in Africa, is a pilot who has flown the KC-135 tanker, the C-130 transport aircraft and the U-28A surveillance aircraft used largely by special operations forces. He has flown more than 3,400 flight hours, including 738 in combat. He is currently serving as the director of joint force development on the Joint Staff. According to the Air Force, he commanded a special operations squadron, an expeditionary squadron, an operations group and a special operations wing. He also led the task force that coordinated the repositioning of U.S. forces from Somalia and headed Special Operations Command, Africa, from 2019 to 2021. Africa Command is the newest of the Pentagon's geographic commands and covers the bulk of the African continent. Much of the U.S. military's efforts there have focused on combatting extremist groups and training local forces. Anderson would be the seventh general to head Africa Command. To date, four of the previous leaders were Army generals and two were Marines. Anderson is from Ypsilanti, Michigan, and graduated from the ROTC program at Washington University in St. Louis.

French brandy and liqueur-maker Remy Cointreau axes sales targets as Trump tariffs bite
The maker of Remy Martin cognac and Cointreau liqueur has become the latest global drinks company to abandon its sales targets in the face of the trade war declared by US president Donald Trump. Paris-listed Remy Cointreau, which has teamed up with The White Lotus actress Aubrey Plaza to promote one of its brands, said that the 2030 goals that it had set out in 2020 were no longer realistic. It blamed tariffs as well as persistently slow US sales. However, the company's shares climbed 4 per cent as it said the worst has passed in terms of sluggish sales. 'We believe this difficult phase is now behind us,' said chief executive Eric Vallat. Its rivals, including Diageo and Pernod Ricard, have also withdrawn their sales targets as the sector endures a sharp slowdown from previous boom years for pricey liquors. But Remy, which makes 70 per cent of its sales from cognac, mostly in the US and China, has suffered more than peers as drinkers in both nations ditch the brandy and both governments have levied tariffs.
