“Summer House” star Jesse Solomon isn’t pleased with his Bravo peer, West Wilson, and how his actions have impacted their show. In a new interview, the “Guess I’ll Start” singer opened up about his relationship with Wilson today, following the program’s three-part reunion, and also broke his silence on casting rumors.
Speaking with Vulture, Solomon, who joined the show in 2024, got candid about his friendship with Wilson following the latter’s newly established relationship with Amanda Batula. For those who may be unfamiliar, Wilson and Batula made headlines in March 2026 when they announced their romance after weeks of speculation.
During the three-part reunion, Solomon broke down in tears over Wilson’s actions, noting how sad he was that he had hurt a majority of his co-stars, including Ciara Miller, Wilson’s ex and Batula’s former best friend. When asked whether he could see himself rebuilding a friendship with Wilson, Solomon admitted that he was unsure.
“I don’t know,” he said. “I’m a really slow decision-maker, one of my Achilles heels. In this case, I think it’s fair to need some time. West needs to learn how to treat people, in particular women, because he treats other people in his life — friends and family — really well.”
Solomon Not ‘Happy’ West Wilson Appeared To Have Fractured ‘Summer House’ Cast
Wilson has been in the hot seat on “Summer House” before. During the season 8 reunion special, he faced criticism from fans and his co-stars over how he broke up with Miller. According to Solomon, Wilson must take steps to better himself or risk losing people he cares about.
“I think a change there is necessary. And then just apologizing for the things that actually hurt people. I know he’s full of regret with how this all went down, so I’m hoping he can learn and grow from it and be a better person and friend,” he said.
Elsewhere in the interview, Solomon said that the drama involving Wilson and Batula has only created more issues.
“It’s bad for the friend group long term. No part of me is happy that this happened. I would even say to West, when I was suspicious, ‘Dude, please, if any bit of this is true, stop and lock it up and figure your shit out.’ He sure didn’t,” Solomon said.
Solomon Reveals His Thoughts On ‘Summer House’ Casting Rumors
Regarding casting, Solomon told Vulture that while he’s spoken with some of his co-stars about next season’s casting, he doesn’t know for certain who will be part of the show. In fact, he’s trying to steer clear of those conversations.
“Yeah, I mean, we’re f-cking gossiping, but I’m not bringing it up all the time, because the people who are on the fringe of coming back — I don’t really want to ask,” he said. “I want people to tell me.”
He added, “When I arrive in the Hamptons, I will be ready to have some fun with whoever is there, and I hope all my friends are there, but it will work out exactly the way it’s supposed to.”
Wilson Was Fired From ‘Summer House’
Speaking of casting, Wilson won’t be part of season 11, according to a previous report from The Blast. Sources close to the show confirmed that Wilson wasn’t picked up; however, there’s a chance that he could make a cameo in later episodes.
His firing came days after he told his “Show Me Something” podcast listeners that he hoped they would skip a new episode to avoid discussing his scandal any further. His statement garnered a heated response from “Summer House” OG, Lindsay Hubbard, who called the Missouri native “trash,” per The Blast.
Solomon Is Focused On What He Can Control
The next season of “Summer House” will begin filming around the July 4th holiday, and the recent drama has Solomon a bit worried about the series’ future.
“Yeah, I find myself wondering, ‘What’s going to happen this summer? Will the show still be entertaining?’” he said. However, after thinking, Solomon said he was focused only on what he could control.
“It’s like, that’s not my job. My job is to show up and be myself, and hopefully that translates to an entertaining show. I’m not really worried about the ratings and popularity,” he said.
A new episode of “Summer House” airs tonight on Bravo at 8 p.m. ET.
