Watch: Summer House: Bravo Exec Addresses Future of Season 11 After Amanda Batula, West Wilson Drama
Jesse Solomon is diving into the choppy waters of the Summer House drama.
Following the conclusion of part three of the Bravo series’ reunion, the reality star joined Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live! and walked him through a detailed account of his interactions with costars West Wilson and Amanda Batula, covering when he says the new couple began secretly dating at the end of Feb. after Batula’s Jan. 19 split from Kyle Cooke.
“I asked them repeatedly if it were true, and they always said no. So that’s why it hurt so bad,” Solomon shared on a June 9 episode of WWHL. “Days before, West is telling me, ‘Amanda and I are half as bad as how you and Ciara act.’ Meanwhile, they’re literally hooking up.”
According to Solomon, Wilson’s claim that his and Batula’s dynamic was “the PG version” of how Solomon and Ciara Miller acted on previous seasons of the show happened during a confrontation about the viral relationship rumors on March 5.
Wilson allegedly later sent the “Guess I’ll Start” singer a Reddit thread that compiled evidence of a possible romance with Batula, asking Solomon to “stop feeding into it.”
“There’s nothing to confirm,” Wilson texted Solomon March 10, per a transcribed version of Solomon’s timeline shared on Instagram June 10. “It was kinda funny for a day but I’m tired now.”
As revealed during part one of the Bravo reunion on May 26, Wilson and Batula had already shared their first kiss after a group brunch, which castmate Ben Waddell also attended. And according to Solomon’s timeline, that meal occurred on Feb. 28.
Solomon’s deep dive also highlighted Batula’s part in the complicated situation.
After Solomon said he “grilled” Batula over drinks on March 11—to which the swimsuit designer allegedly responded with a “full denial”—Batula seemingly joked “sarcastically” to Solomon while crashing a boys’ night at Wilson’s apartment March 21, “Are you gonna add this to the list of reasons you think I’m f–king my best friend?”

Indeed, according to Solomon’s recollection, Batula’s ex, Cooke, confirmed her location to be at Wilson’s apartment the next morning.
However, Wilson did eventually admit the truth about his burgeoning relationship to Solomon after breaking his silence online in a March 31 joint statement with Batula confirming their romance.
When Solomon “call[ed] West out for lying,” the sports podcaster apparently gave Solomon a “nonchalant” response. “I ask how long it’s been. ‘A little over a month,’ he says,” Solomon wrote in his recap, adding that same day Wilson “tells me he thinks he loves her.”
As for where Solomon and Wilson’s bromance stands today?
“The trust is definitely broken, and I don’t condone any of his actions,” Solomon confessed on WWHL. “I think the way that he treated women—I didn’t know he was capable of that.”
