Summer House star Ciara Miller did not hold back after Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Jennifer Fessler came to West Wilson‘s defense.
Someone on X shared the following, recapping what Jenn said last night at Vulture’s The Masterminds of Reality TV event: “Former RHONJ ‘friend of’ Jenn Fessler was asked by Page Six about the Summer House scandal tonight and said this about West: ‘[West] is the cutest, sweetest golden retriever puppy dog. He does not mean any harm. He didn’t mean it. He’s just trying to have a good time. He doesn’t wanna hurt anyone. Give him a break.’ Girl…”
Ciara did not hold back when responding on her Threads page, as she wrote, “lol, because they slept together too.”
Ciara also doubled down on her claims after someone noted that Jennifer is currently married… similar to West’s new love interest Amanda Batula who is currently still married, though separated, to her husband Kyle Cooke .
“Ma’am! I beg your pardon?!?! Ain’t that old lady married? Oh he got a type! 😂,” wrote a fan to Ciara.
“That’s what I thought….🤸🏽♀️,” responded Ciara.
Amid Ciara’s claim, a resurfaced clip from Watch What Happens Live circulated on social media where West was asked if he had his “eyes on any Bravolebrities.”
“Well there’s the shows that I – besides Jenn Fessler, who’s here,” West said.
As Reality Blurb previously reported, Jenn and Margaret Josephs were interviewed on the red carpet last night.
“We disagree on this one,” Jenn said of how she and Margaret feel about West.
“Listen,” Margaret stated. “I have a lot of takes on the Summer House scandal. But Ciara should just thank them. Write them a thank-you note. You know what? Better to know now.”
Jenn also noted Ciara was “impossible not to love.”
West recently spoke out on his Show Me Something With Sophie and West podcast, and he finally copped to having caused some tension in their friend group.
“These are my friends… and I’ve caused a lot of damage, which f*cking sucks,” he claimed, insisting it’s “gonna take some time for sure” to get things back in the right direction.
West shared that having to participate in the reunion was something he “got through” and “one step” in this process.
“And, so, we’re on the other side of it,” he added. “And reunions aren’t fun, but it’s like the darkest form of therapy. Like, you don’t normally get that much feedback on how your actions impact other people.”
West promised he’s “not trying to be cliche,” but believes he can only “learn and try to be better” after going through this ordeal.
“The only way you can make experiences like this worth it – as dark as it gets – is to be better from it later,” he said. “Obviously, I have a lot to learn from and be better for, but it’s absolutely the only way you can make any of this — turn it positive.”
West and Amanda’s relationship has been under fire since the pair copped to being an item on March 31 in a joint statement on social media.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” they wrote at the time. “It was never our intention to purposefully hide anything. Given the complicated dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
“We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing that either of us expected,” they continued. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
They explained they kept quiet as their “feelings evolved” due to wanting to “take time to understand exactly what [they] were feeling.”
“We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless,” they also shared. “We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
