The summer may be over, but the drama is still scorching. Part 1 of the “Summer House” season 9 reunion did not disappoint. From broken engagements to birthday betrayal, here are the four biggest bombshells from our favorite Hamptons crew.
Paige DeSorbo Doubts Craig Conover’s Engagement Claims
Paige DeSorbo had no time for Craig Conover’s supposed engagement ring story — and she made that crystal clear to Andy Cohen.
“That ring does not exist,” she said bluntly, claiming Conover never asked her father for permission to propose and couldn’t have returned a “custom” ring a year later. “No one’s letting you return it a year later,” she added.
She also found it suspicious that Craig claimed he returned the ring the same day he appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” with his new girlfriend, Natalie Buffett was rumored to be in the audience. “Him and his new girlfriend went and returned my ring? I don’t think so, Andy. That’s insane.”
Ciara Miller and Jesse Solomon Deny Getting Too Close on ‘Summer House’
Lexi Wood didn’t hold back when she accused Miller and Jesse Solomon of getting way too flirty — especially when they allegedly skipped her birthday to have brunch together.
Miller was livid. “You illustrated this picture as if we skipped your birthday party intentionally,” she fired back. “Why would I go to your birthday party? Especially because you’re illustrating this picture that me and Jesse are doing things that are manipulative… like what the (expletive) was that?”
Solomon added that if brunch fell on Wood’s birthday, “it was not on purpose.”
Imrul Hassan Pushes Back on His ‘Summer House’ Reputation
Newbie Imrul Hassan became an instant conversation piece after opening up about a sex party in an early episode — but he regrets how it shaped his narrative.
“I don’t feel like I’m an orgy beast. I think you have to do more than one [sex party] to be an orgy beast,” he joked. But the backlash was very real. Hassan shared that his family — particularly his religious in-laws — were uncomfortable having him at a nephew’s birthday party.
“That was the first time it really hit home,” he said. “It was a little uncomfortable, it was a little nerve-racking. I kinda leaned into what I knew, I suppose.”
Ciara Miller and West Wilson Revisit Their Painful Breakup
Miller and West Wilson’s summer romance ended quietly last year, but their unresolved issues resurfaced throughout the season, particularly at the reunion. Miller revealed that their December 2023 breakup came during an especially emotional time — her mother had just remarried, triggering a spiral tied to her childhood.
“I was trying to communicate it a little bit but also I didn’t want to be a burden,” Miller said tearfully. She admitted to disappearing over the holidays, retreating to Costa Rica with her phone off. Wilson, meanwhile, admitted fault, saying, “I thought us ending in that moment would’ve at least salvaged a friendship, but obviously I (expletive) that up as well.”
