Summer House's Lexi Wood Addresses Relationship Speculation: Will She and West Wilson Ever 'Be a Thing' Post Jesse Solomon's Rumors? - lulu

Lexi Wood is setting the record straight about a potential romance with her Summer House castmate West Wilson.

While stepping out at the PEOPLE app launch party in New York City on Tuesday, April 29, Wood addressed the moment in the Bravo reality series' April 16 episode when her costar Jesse Solomon — with whom she was in a romantic relationship at the time — accused her of "flirting" with his close friend Wilson during a group night out to a club in the Hamptons.

When they returned home to the house, microphones captured Wood, 27, and Solomon, 31, having an off-camera argument outside. Solomon could be heard saying, "You just can't come up with anything that I did besides the f------ toe sh--," and then adding, "That's way less intense than everything I saw tonight."

Wood then could be heard explaining that she was simply "holding West up" because he had been drinking and "wasn't flirting with him" at the club. But Solomon insisted that she was "hanging out with him all night" and said, "You know how I am with that."

Wood — who has made it clear she prefers monogamous relationships — retorted, "And you know how I am!"

At Tuesday's event, Wood described Solomon's accusation as "just weird in general" and shut down any possibility of a romance with Wilson.

"West and I have never flirted — and we never will. We just have a strictly platonic relationship, and obviously he is friends with Jesse and they're so close. They were newbies together," she says.

"So yeah, that would just never be a thing. So I was definitely like, 'Wait, wait, what is going on right now?' " she adds.

Wood also opened up about the unraveling of her relationship with Solomon and whether she feels that having it all play out at the house and around their roommates had an impact.

"I honestly don't think so," she says. "I think I'm really lucky that my cast told me everything and that my friends were kind of there to give me a heads-up, whether it was a little late or not. So yeah, I think I'm really lucky in that case because if we were in the normal world, I probably wouldn't know certain things, like the toe [incident]. I wouldn't have known any of this."

The now-infamous toe incident went down in the March 26 episode, fittingly named "Toeing the Line." In the late-night hours after the group hosted a shipwrecked-themed party, Solomon had his toe sucked by one of the two girls costar Imrul Hassan brought to his bedroom. Solomon and Wood had just made their relationship official. Wood later found out about the incident and confronted Solomon, telling him, “You’re making it seem like I’m some crazy jealous girl when like, you let a random girl suck your toe!”

"Yeah, so I think that I'm really lucky, where it's like most girls actually do get caught up in a lot and they forgive a lot because they don't have the knowledge, whereas I'm in a specific situation where I do get to learn so much," Wood tells PEOPLE of Solomon's behavior, which also included heavily flirting with costar Ciara Miller while Wood was out of town one weekend.

Wood says watching back the Summer House episodes — and reliving some of the moments — has been a cathartic experience for her.

"I definitely get to learn a lot about myself. I think it's such a rare chance to actually be able to unpack human behavior and how I react to things and how I communicate, and how I can just be a better communicator overall," she explains. "So I think that there was definitely some things that [Solomon] miscommunicated, but yeah, I think it's been a great opportunity for me to learn more and move forward in my own experience."

She says that, ultimately, her short-lived relationship with Solomon "just got very messy and totally out of my control."

"It was a one-of-a-kind relationship, hopefully," she notes, adding, "Fingers crossed."
