During divorce proceedings, Fay Webb alleged, "Vallee is possessed of a violent, vicious and ungovernable temper, and given to the use of blasphemy and the use of intemperate, vile and vituperative language, particularly when applied to [her]." She accused him of committing adultery with three women, including actress Alice Faye. Vallée denied the allegations and the judge found Vallée "not guilty of any misconduct or maltreatment of [Webb] which detrimentally affected [her] health, physical or medical condition."

Fay Webb died of peritonitis contracted after abdominal surgery in Santa Monica, California on November 18, 1936. She is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in Santa Monica, California.
