Lexi Wood is officially a Bravo one-season wonder.
“Well … that wasn’t the summer I signed up for but it definitely taught me a lot,” Lexi, 27, captioned an Instagram Story post on Friday, June 6. “I stood up for women and for what’s right, even when it wasn’t easy and I’d do that again in a heartbeat. I’m leaving Summer House with no regrets (well … maybe one.)”
Her statement continued, “I’m proud of the way I handled myself, proud of what I walked away from and even prouder of what I’m walking toward. Big things are coming! Stay tuned!”
Lexi made her debut during Summer House season 9 earlier this year, immediately striking up a relationship with fellow cast member Jesse Solomon. While their romance heated up, so did the drama.
The model became a fan-favorite among Gen Z women as she stood up for herself against Jesse, 31, who made some not-so-cool moves (like getting his toe sucked) during their short-lived romance. (Some Summer House viewers have accused Jesse of love-bombing.)
During a recent podcast appearance, Lexi claimed that Jesse misrepresented the nature of their relationship to other members of the cast.
“From what he was saying, it definitely made the situation and relationship seem really toxic,” she shared on iHeartRadio’s “Chanel in the City” podcast last month. Jesse claimed during the season that Lexi made him “unfollow” girls on social media while they were together.
Lexi also detailed her relationship with the Summer House women, alleging that Jesse created “distance and a disconnect” because he would disclose details about their relationship.
“There was a lot of context that would have made people kind of understand where I was coming from,” Lexi said. “So, I think naturally it just created an isolation for me in the house because it did put our roommates at a weird situation where they were like, ‘OK, well, Lexi’s new, we don’t quite know maybe how to bring this up to her.’”
Lexi confronted Jesse during the Summer House season 9 reunion, which came to an end earlier this week. She also brought up Jesse’s “flirty” friendship with fellow Bravo star Ciara Miller.
“You are also creating this narrative that me and Jesse are more [than friends],” Ciara told Lexi at one point during the reunion. Lexi claimed that Ciara and Jesse skipped out on her birthday party last year to hang out.
“You illustrated this picture as if we skipped your birthday party intentionally. When, one, I don’t really know when your birthday is and two, the last dinner that we had you’re telling me that you don’t trust me,” Ciara said. “Why would I go to your birthday party? Especially because when you’re illustrating this picture that like me and Jesse are doing things that are manipulative or doing things in the media to rub it in your face — like what the f*** was that?”
