Danny Booko\u2019s sudden disappearance from Watch What Happens Live had many people convinced the network quietly pulled him after his behaviour on The Valley<\/a> sparked intense backlash online.<\/p>\n

People have been dragging Danny for the way he spoke to wife Nia Sanchez<\/span><\/span> during the cast\u2019s San Diego trip, with some fans branding his attitude \u201cuncomfortable\u201d and accusing him of treating parenting like an inconvenience. So when Andy Cohen abruptly announced that Tom Schwartz<\/span><\/span> would replace Danny on WWHL, the timing immediately raised eyebrows.<\/p>\n

Bravo gossip accounts quickly lit up with speculation that Danny had been dropped from the appearance altogether as criticism around his \u201cDarkside Danny\u201d era reached new levels.<\/p>\n

But according to Nia, the truth is far less scandalous.<\/p>\n

Speaking out after rumours exploded online, Nia insisted Danny wasn\u2019t axed from the show at all, he apparently landed a last-minute acting job that clashed with the taping schedule.<\/p>\n

\u201cDaniel got a great work opportunity on a huge new movie,\u201d she explained, adding that he was \u201cso bummed\u201d about missing the New York appearance because he had fully intended to go.<\/p>\n

Danny also tried to shut down the rumours himself with a carefully-worded Instagram Story, telling followers there had been \u201ca little change of plans\u201d and that he\u2019d instead be staying in LA to work on an \u201cincredible new project\u201d that came together unexpectedly.<\/p>\n
