Jesse Solomon thinks there’s one positive after-effect from West Wilson and Amanda Batula’s ”Summer House” scandal. Nearly two months after the Bravo couple confirmed their secret romantic relationship, Solomon appeared on “The Bossticks” podcast and admitted he’s happy to see that Wilson’s ex, Ciara Miller, is getting so much love and attention from fans.
“I mean, I guess that’s a silver lining of this whole situation happening to her,” Solomon said during the May 2026 sitdown. “Ciara is a really good person, and she cares a lot about her friends, and she’s taught me a lot of like good lessons of things that like you just wouldn’t typically think of as a boy. I’m just like grateful to her, and I’m glad that everybody else sees how amazing she is.”
Ciara Miller Is Being Compared to Ariana Madix
Wilson and Batula’s secret romance is being compared to the “Vanderpump Rules” cheating scandal that took place in 2023. Not only is Batula still technically married to Kyle Cooke, but she was also best friends with Wilson’s former flame, Miller. It had taken Miller two years to get over her breakup with Wilson, and while filming “Summer House” in 2025, the two rekindled their close friendship, only for the dating bombshell to blow it all up.
In 2023, a similar situation happened when “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix found out he longtime boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, had a secret romance with their co-star Raquel Leviss.
Just like Madix, in the aftermath of the scandal, Miller has now been invited to compete on “Dancing with the Stars.” She also scored a hosting gig for “Love Island: Aftersun” two years after Madix was named the host of “Love Island USA.”
Speaking with E! News, Madix noted that she did reach out to Miller. “I definitely hope that she always remembers that she has the power and she is the moment,” Madix said. “She is the prize.”
During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” in May 2026, Madix also addressed the similarities between the two Bravo scandals and noted that Miller was handling things the best way possible. “‘Honestly, she doesn’t need my advice,” she added of Miller.
Jesse Solomon Got Upset at the ‘Summer House’ Reunion
While Miller is moving on, Solomon shared there was a lot to weed through during the recent “Summer House” reunion taping. He, especially, felt very much in the middle because he was close friends with all of the affected cast members.
“I cried like a handful of times,” Solomon admitted on “The Bossticks” pod. “I was crying all day, I was a mess. Carl’s a mess. I was a mess. I was crying because I hadn’t taken the time to deal with the emotions and the lying.”
“And I thought that West was going to come to the reunion with something that was going to make people feel better, and that we were going to be able to walk out of there, not turning the page, but at least having apologized and being able to move forward,” the “Summer House” star explained. “And like maybe West and Ciara could somehow like take another two-year path to being friends again. But it didn’t.”
