Jesse Solomon confirmed KJ Dillard‘s split from Dara Levitan on Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live.
While also revealing if he’d spoken to West Wilson, 31, and Amanda Batula, 34, since filming the Summer House reunion, addressing West’s lack of emotion, and sharing his thoughts on reconciling their friendship, Jesse, 32, revealed his timeline, reacted to rumors about Kyle Cooke, 43, and Salley Carson, 31, shared what he knew about West’s rumored girlfriend, Meija Moreno, and reacted to the idea of a future romance with Ciara Miller, 30.
“They broke up. Yeah. Last I heard, they were broken up,” Jesse shared of KJ, 28, and Dara, 33, on the June 9 episode of WWHL, then adding, “Sorry if that’s not public.”
As for his communication with West and Amanda post-reunion, Jesse said West was supposed to attend one of his shows in Kansas City but backed out.
“He texted me that he couldn’t make it, which was probably for the best, then he texted me yesterday just checking in, asking how [the] tour was,” he revealed.
Jesse has also been in touch with Amanda.
“We’ve texted. She apologized. You know, I think they didn’t realize how hurt we were. So she was just sad to see me like that,” he explained.
Looking back at West’s lack of reaction to his emotion at the reunion, Jesse said he “wasn’t surprised,” as he assumed he was trying to “keep his composure and not get too heated.”
“But I thought that even if he showed up with maybe even a written response apologizing to everybody in the room, it might have hit harder than how he handled it,” he noted.
Regarding their future as friends, Jesse wasn’t so sure.
“The trust is definitely broken, and I don’t condone any of his actions. I think the way that he treated women is really, I didn’t know he was capable of that. So, we’ll see,” he said.
According to Jesse, West and Amanda’s timeline was “a bit fishy.”
“It just didn’t feel 100% that they were aligned,” he reasoned.
Then, after admitting that his “gut” told him they wouldn’t last, Andy Cohen, 58, recapped a timeline Jesse brought to the Bravo Clubhouse as follows:
- February 27: West and Amanda seemed into each other during a dinner date
- February 28: Jesse had brunch with the boys and ran into West and Amanda at a bar with Kyle
- February 29: Kyle was supposed to pick up the dogs, but Amanda’s location was off
- March 10: West sent a Reddit thread to Jesse, claiming Jesse told someone in Cabo that he believed the rumors about West and Amanda were true and asked him not to feed into it
- March 11: Jesse had drinks with Amanda to ask about the rumors, but she denied them
Reflecting on the lies West and Amanda told in regard to their romance, which they didn’t confirm until March 31, Jesse recalled questioning them repeatedly.
“They always said no. So that’s why it hurts so bad when days before, West is telling me, ‘Amanda and I aren’t half as bad as how you and Ciara act,’ meanwhile they’re literally hooking up,” he stated.
Moving on to Kyle and Salley, Jesse said he had an “idea” of what was happening between them.
“They are Eskimo brothers at this point, but I don’t know with how many people,” he teased.
When asked if Meija told him she was dating West when they met, Jesse clarified, “She didn’t specify that they were like, in an exclusive relationship, but they definitely were very close.”
Also on the live show, Jesse said that the relationship he spoke of at the end of summer didn’t work out, confirmed he was single, and said he was starting to plan some first dates.
“I was just on tour, so I haven’t been able to date so much,” he explained.
Then, in regard to what he did after the reunion, he shared, “I went home and kept crying.”
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, after being asked if he’d ever consider dating Ciara now that her back-and-forth with West has ended, Jesse confirmed they were “better as friends.”
“She deserves somebody so amazing, and I just want to be there to support her however I can as a friend right now,” he stated.
Then, speaking of Ciara’s performance at the reunion, he added, “Ciara was like the opposite of West and Amanda. She was like, overly prepared. And I don’t even think she needed to prepare. She was just off the top of the dome.”
Summer House season 11 is expected to begin filming sometime this summer.
