‘Summer House’ Star Lexi Wood Slams Jesse Solomon as Awful and Claims He Lied Repeatedly!
Lexi Wood and Jesse Solomon’s summer romance has officially fizzled out — but the drama is still heating up.
On the May 14 episode of Summer House, viewers watched the model break things off with Jesse after weeks of mounting tension. Lexi, 26, admitted to castmates Lindsay Hubbard and Gabby Prescod that she could no longer trust Jesse, 31, following a series of suspicious behaviors — including skipping out on plans for a late-night manicure.
During their breakup, she told Jesse she was looking for a deeper connection and felt emotionally drained by the relationship.
Jesse claimed he still had feelings for her but felt unfairly labeled as a liar. He later stirred more drama by telling castmates Lexi had issues with his friendship with Ciara Miller—an accusation Lexi firmly denied.
Off camera, Lexi shared more of her side during an interview with Bravo’s The Daily Dish, calling Jesse “awful” and accusing him of causing unnecessary confusion in the house. “I think he lied so [much] to so many people, all over the place, on and off camera,” she said. “He completely manipulated relationships to form against each other which I think is awful.”
She continued, “I think it’s funny because a lot of people don’t have the opportunity to see what the person that you’re dating is doing behind your back. Seeing everything [that] has been said behind my back by the person I trusted the most… that’s been the most hurtful.”
Lexi admitted she regretted not trusting her instincts sooner. “I think I ignored that girl inside of me for a long time,” she added. “Trust your gut instinct, for sure.”
On the May 16 episode of SiriusXM’s It’s Me, Tinx, Jesse opened up about his rocky romance with Lexi, reflecting on the intense way he pursued her and the fallout that followed.
“It’s just like my game, I guess for lack of a better phrase,” Jesse explained. “There’s a beautiful girl that I was excited about, and you know, I’m not gonna win her over easily by just being like some quiet guy in the corner. I’m very complimentary to all girls. So I think I was just trying to impress her and win her over.”
Though Jesse acknowledged that “love bombing is bad by definition,” he clarified that his intentions weren’t manipulative. “I was not trying to gain control,” he said. “I just came on strong and I really liked her. [I was] so excited for the filming to be over so we [could] like, try to date like normal people.”
Things took a turn when Jesse had his toe sucked by another woman and was seen flirting with Ciara Miller. Lexi ended the relationship and later called Jesse out publicly—a move he feels says more about her than him.
“I just feel like she’s projecting, like all these things that she’s accusing me of are really what she was doing,” Jesse shared. “I’m not a liar. I’m not this mastermind manipulator. Like, did I make some mistakes? Sure. But just wasn’t all that.”
With tensions still simmering, fans can expect more fireworks when the Summer House cast reunites for what promises to be an explosive reunion. Catch Summer House Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
