West Wilson has been in the hot seat ever since the Summer House reunion first aired. But now… it could be Jesse Solomon’s turn to face the wrath of the Bravosphere.
What’s going on with Jesse and Amanda?
In case you were living under a rock during the last three months, Bravo’s Summer House featured two new cast members that fans couldn’t get enough of. West and Jesse. The two bros entered looking for fun, and they made it clear they’d be open to something romantic if it happened.
West caught feelings (or did he?) for Ciara Miller only to break her heart once the cameras went down. And Jesse… well, Jesse seemed to only have eyes for the taken women, like Paige DeSorbo. However, fans have been wondering if he has the hots for another Summer House cast member — Amanda Batula.
The two have stirred up conversation after watchers noticed Jesse’s flirty comments on Amanda’s social media posts. Oh, you don’t believe me? You can take a look for yourself at this online thread compiling some of his most suggestive statements, including the one where he called Amanda a “milf in training.”
During a chat with Nick Viall on his podcast, The Viall Files, West discussed the chatter and said he asked Amanda if she was okay with Jesse’s behavior.
“I did text Amanda and was like, ‘Is he clearing these with you before he posts them?’” he said. “She just said, ‘Haha the Internet’s crazy’ or something. But, he’s fully leaned into it, for sure, it’s crazy.”
West wouldn’t be cool with Jesse hitting on his girl
As one could expect, viewers have been sharing their theories; however, Amanda shot them down in a TikTok video.
Later, West said he believed his co-stars were “leaning into” the rumors for sh*ts and giggles.
“I think once they knew there were rumors, they both leaned into it because it was funny. I think it’s funny too,” he said before saying Jesse may be doing “a little too much.”
Elsewhere, the sports journalist said he hadn’t spoken to Amanda’s husband, Kyle Cooke, about the noise.
“He is the only person who hasn’t spoken on it and I don’t know if he cares [because] I would,” West admitted. “I would love to know what Kyle says [or] if he even knows. He has to, [but] I would fully buy it [if he didn’t], he would just be like, ‘I’m working.’”
