As Summer House Season 8 starts to wind down, it’s worth looking back on some notable moments. Of course, the most notorious is yet to come as fans await the break up of Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard at the end of Summer 2023.
Certainly, getting context for it all in the form of constant fights and tension was a particular highlight of the season. But a lot of interesting things happened involving other cast members. And new additions West Wilson and Jesse Solomon were celebrated for their cohesive fit into the group.
Well, except for that mess at the beginning of the season when Jesse came on too strong to veteran Bravolebrity, Paige DeSorbo. But the question is, how does the reality TV star feel about the incident in retrospect?
Jesse labeled the flirting as “good-natured fun”
Paige is, of course, dating Southern Charm star Craig Conover. The Investor Relations professional was called out by Kyle Cooke for it, leading to an uncomfortable fight between the Loverboy founder and his wife Amanda Batula.
But despite all that, Jesse exclusively told Life & Style that he “doesn’t regret” interacting with the fashion contributor the way that he did at the start of the season.
“If I had to go back and do it again, I probably would’ve not come in so hot at the first party, but I just had no idea what I was signing up for. I wasn’t a fan of the show going into this,” Jesse explained. “I had heard Paige had a boyfriend but nobody told me that at the house so I was just acting like I would towards any person. But when people get to know me, they know I’m harmless and that it was just good-natured fun. Paige is cool, we’re homies. It had to happen –Kyle had to call me out.“
Ultimately, Jesse’s flirtations did not affect Craig and Paige’s relationship. The duo are still happily together. For his part, Jesse revealed a friendship with the Sewing Down South founder.
“Craig and I are buddies – not like, call on the phone to chop it up buddies, but we communicate on the DM from time to time,” he explained.
No hard feelings then.
