Johnny Manziel admits to cheating on ex-wife in ‘Selling Sunset’ cameo
Johnny Manziel recalled begging, crying and pleading during his split from his ex-wife Bre Tiesi in the new season (8) of “Selling Sunset” on Netflix, which premiered Friday.
The exes had a heart-to-heart in episode six while Tiesi — who’s a cast member on the show and a real estate agent at the Oppenheim Group — was helping Manziel find a home to buy in Los Angeles.
“My ex-husband Johnny Manziel reached out because he’s looking for a house in L.A. I’m going to help him find something but we’re going to make sure he lives very far from me,” Tiesi joked during a confessional.
They split in March 2019 after one year of marriage, and reports at the time claimed that the former Browns quarterback had cheated on Tiesi.

“In the long run of things, I still won,” Manziel said before Tiesi laughed. “Would you call it a loss?”
She replied, “Yeah, because you loss me, it’s a loss.”
Manziel went on to explain how he handled things wrong in their relationship.
“Life goes the way that it’s supposed to go,” he said. “You are in a position now where you got exactly what you wanted in life. And I’m proud of you for that and I’m happy for you.”
“I learned a lot about what I handled wrong. I was a lost, depressed kid running around the Hollywood Hills getting drunk every night and living in a nightclub. And a lot of time behind your back probably as well.”

That’s when Tiesi chimed in.
“Oh you spent a lot of time with someone else on their back, but yes it’s fine. Still love ya,” she said.
“I still feel bad to this day treating you like that,” Manziel said. “Getting divorced and after we broke up was probably one of the hardest points in my life and I cried and I begged and I pleaded.”
In a confessional clip, Tiesi explained that their conversation gave her closure.
“I’m happy to hear that J can recognize the hell that he put me through and that tells me at least the effort I put in was recognized and it’s not all completely in vain,” she said.

“Johnny is like Peter Pan, he just never wants to grow up so we’re going to let him stay in his little fairytale land. I got money to make.”
Manziel and Tiesi then walked downstairs of the $4 million home she was showing him.
“We’re making progress,” she said of their conversation. “I did get a nice ring though [in their marriage].”
Manziel agreed.

“And you probably sold it for cracker jacks,” he said.
“I did,” Tiesi said while looking straight at the camera.
It’s unclear if she was being serious, as the ex-couple went back and forth trading sly comments throughout their heart-to-heart.
“Do you like my blonde [hair]? I wore it just for you because I know you love blondes so much. Do you think it’ll help my sale today?” she said when they first met at the home.
Manziel is currently dating model Josie Canseco, who has blonde hair.

“Yeah of course. Thanks for the condescending tone to start the day,” Manziel said.
“Aw, you missed me,” Tiesi quipped.
Tiesi, who welcomed a son, Legendary Love, with Nick Cannon in July 2022, is believed to be single.
