In a bombshell revelation that’s already setting Beverly Hills gossip circles ablaze, Jesse Solomon has finally broken his silence about what really went down during his headline-grabbing first date with Erika Jayne—and according to him, it was anything but ordinary. The RHOBH newcomer, who has been romantically linked to the glamorous and controversial reality star in recent months, described the encounter as “crazy” and admitted he was caught completely off guard by Erika’s behavior that night.
“She made the first move—like, aggressively,” Jesse confessed during a private conversation with a close friend, who spoke exclusively to DailyMail+. “I didn’t even have time to process it. One second we were ordering drinks, and the next, she leaned in and whispered something in my ear that made me question whether this was a date… or a dare.” The source went on to reveal that Jesse, who is known for being low-key and reserved, was visibly rattled by Erika’s fast-and-furious approach. “He said she didn’t waste a single second. It was bold. It was Erika Jayne-level bold. And honestly, I think it scared him a little.”
Insiders close to the situation say Erika, 52, wanted to make it very clear she was in charge of the vibe from the moment they sat down. “She’s not the kind of woman who waits for a man to make the first move,” one source quipped. “She walked in wearing head-to-toe black leather, looked him dead in the eye, and said, ‘You’re cute. Let’s skip the small talk.’” From that moment on, it was clear the date wouldn’t follow any traditional script. According to Jesse, things only got wilder as the night went on, with Erika allegedly daring him to join her for a spontaneous, off-the-grid detour that “no Bravo camera was allowed to follow.”
Reactions to Jesse’s story have been mixed online. Some fans applauded Erika for “owning her power and being unapologetically bold,” while others expressed concern that her over-the-top persona may be masking deeper issues. “She always goes 100 from the start,” one Bravo commentator posted on X. “That’s fun for TV, but in real life? It’s giving chaos.” Erika has yet to respond publicly to Jesse’s comments, but sources say she’s fully aware the story has gone viral—and is reportedly “unbothered and laughing it off,” calling Jesse’s shock “cute.”
Whether this wild first date marks the start of a new RHOBH romance or just another unforgettable Erika Jayne moment remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure—when Erika shows up, the rules go out the window.
