Jesse Solomon addressed how Andy Cohen called out West Wilson at the Summer House reunion, and shared why Jesse cried while filming it. The star also hinted that a “series of events” made him think West and Amanda Batula were “totally f**king.”
In March, Amanda and West told the world they were romantically involved. But for a while leading up to the statement, they denied the rumors in public and to friends. At the time, West was good friends with Amanda’s estranged husband Kyle Cooke, and Amanda was good friends with West’s ex Ciara Miller. After the announcement, other rumors surfaced that West’s good friend Jesse knew about it – though Jesse has denied it.
On the Skinny Confidential podcast, Jesse addressed West’s actions at the reunion.
“He does apologize, but that’s kind of all,” said Jesse, via Bravolovebaby_. “He’s [like], ‘I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lied. I know that now you can’t believe anything that I say because I lied, but I’m sorry.’ … Andy even calls him out for it. Like, ‘Do you see your friends are torn up about this?'”
Jesse later shared why he cried at the reunion.
“I was crying because I hadn’t taken the time to deal with the emotions and the lying,” he said. “And I thought that West was going to come to the reunion with something that was going to make people feel better and that we were going to be able to walk out of there — not turning the page — but at least having apologized and being able to move forward, and like maybe West and Ciara could somehow take another two-year path to being friends again.”
“But it didn’t,” he continued. “The producers were just as upset as the public and as our friend group was when this all happened. We had a really beautiful thing. You’ll see [us] leaving the house the last weekend, we had never been closer. And I think the thing about our show that people love is we are genuine friends. … Nobody wants to see the friend group fractured like this.”
He then hinted at a past convo with West.
“I was like, ‘Dude, if this is happening, please lock it the f**k up,'” Jesse recalled. “I don’t have patience for people who lie and hook up with exes without a conversation prior. Like that’s happened to me in the past. And so I know how it feels if one of your best friends hooks up with one of your exes.”
Jesse denied that he knew what was going on. However, a “series of events” led him to think they were “totally f**king,” though he trusted West was telling the truth.
