Marciano can be suing ‘Mormon Wives’ producer Jeff Jenkins … he says manufacturing “aired the allegations in a way designed to maximize impact while cutting Marciano out and denying him any meaningful opportunity to respond.”

He says manufacturing had “obvious reasons to doubt Engemann’s account, including inconsistencies, delay, and facts known to Production that undermined the claims” … however says the present “amplified the same accusations for profit.”

In the docs, Marciano consists of alleged texts from Demi he says she despatched after leaving Italy. He says she stayed in touch with him from months via calls, texts, FaceTime and invited him to go to her in Utah and California.
