Juliette Porter says she tried to get herself on ”Summer House” – and may try again. During a March 2025 episode of her “Don’t be Ridiculous” podcast with pal Sebastian Genta, the former “Siesta Key” star talked about her ties to the Bravo reality show.
“I tried going on ‘Summer House’ for a moment,” Porter, 27, told Genta. “Maybe I’ll try again.”
“I would love to do that,” the swimsuit entrepreneur added of crashing the Hamptons-based reality show. “I love Paige [DeSorbo]. I’ve met Ciara [Miller} a couple of times.”
Porter added that she is “so incredibly proud” of DeSorbo and her “Giggly Squad” co-host Hannah Berner, who also previously appeared on “Summer House.” “They’re the nicest girls. They’re so funny and I’m just really proud of their success. They deserve it. They’re [expletive] crushing it right now,” she said.
Porter was the star and narrator on MTV’s Florida-based reality show, “Siesta Key,” from 2017 to early 2023. The show’s popularity dropped when the setting was moved from Siesta Key to Miami in its final season. On her podcast, Porter speculated that MTV lost its way in the reality TV realm.
“I think a lot of networks try to just redo the same thing that they know has worked, which makes sense from a budget standpoint,” she said. “But it’s redundant. They did like four ‘Jersey Shore’ spinoffs.”
“I wish it was on Bravo,” the JMP Label founder added of “Siesta Key.” “I really would have liked, I mean I was like a little crazy. Like Bravo’s maybe less violent,” she cracked.

Porter’s comments about “Summer House” come months after she was photographed at a wedding in St. Tropez with DeSorbo. In a thread on Reddit at the time, fans commented on a plea to “Get Juliette on #Summerhouse.”
“Juliette is sooo messy this would be incredible,” one commenter wrote.

Juliette Porter Said Reality TV Is ‘Hard’
On her podcast, Porter also talked about the difficulties of being a reality TV personality.
“Reality TV is hard because you feel like you have to make the story,” she shared.
The former MTV star explained that cast members are required to “bring it” or they will be fired. Porter also claimed that some of her “Siesta Key” co-stars were only guaranteed pay for four episodes per season and wouldn’t be asked to appear in any more scenes unless they stirred things up.
