Jesse Solomon teased major drama ahead for his Summer House costars Amanda Batula and West Wilson as the cast prepares for the season 10 reunion. Speaking exclusively to Us Weekly on the red carpet at the 2026 American Music Awards on Monday, May 25, the 32-year-old cast member said both Batula, 34, and Wilson, 31, would face significant accountability during the three-part special.
"There’s some accountability," Solomon said. "I think there’s a lot of unexpected fights … Watching it on the way here, obviously we cover a lot of the West and Amanda stuff, but there’s a lot of other stuff in the house that people are upset about." He also highlighted an anticipated fiery exchange between Ben Waddell and Bailey Taylor, describing Taylor as "a firecracker" and adding, "I love her the best."
The upcoming reunion episodes are expected to center heavily on the romantic relationship that developed between Batula and Wilson. The pair confirmed they were exploring a connection in March, following Batula’s separation from her estranged husband Kyle Cooke in January. Wilson had previously dated fellow cast member Ciara Miller.
Solomon offered insight into Miller’s perspective after her recent confrontations with both Batula and Wilson. "She seems good, all things considered," he said. "She’s a really strong woman, and just a great person, and great friend. I’m just trying to be there for her and support her." Miller, 30, spoke publicly about moving forward during the amFAR red carpet on Saturday, May 23. "Make it to the waiting and make it to the end of all of this. I’m excited to put it all behind me," she told People. "The reunion was quite the day, but we are on to bigger and better and, you know, we can say goodbye to certain things."
One of the most talked-about moments from the reunion taping involved Solomon himself breaking down in tears while discussing the fallout from Batula and Wilson’s relationship. He told Us Weekly he had not expected to become so emotional. "I think I just hadn’t taken time to grieve the loss of a friend group," Solomon explained. "When confronted with it, it was really a lot to deal with. I was just emotional all day." He added that he cried for castmates KJ Dillard and Mia Calabrese as well as the broader loss of friendships.
The cast dynamic with Batula and Cooke remains complicated following the raw exchanges at the reunion taping in New York City. "Kyle’s in touch with them," Solomon said. "It’s just awkward and weird and uncharted territory. I never thought we would be in this position." Earlier reporting from Us Weekly noted that Solomon had previously described Cooke as "angry" about the situation involving his estranged wife and Wilson.
Summer House season 10 has followed the group through a series of personal and interpersonal developments at their shared Hamptons house. The romantic developments between Batula and Wilson emerged after the end of her marriage to Cooke, who had been a longtime cast member and central figure on the Bravo series. Wilson’s prior relationship with Miller added another layer to the group tensions that the reunion is set to address.
According to Solomon, the reunion will not focus solely on the Batula-Wilson storyline. He indicated that other house conflicts would also come to light, suggesting viewers could expect a range of confrontations beyond the central love triangle. The three-part format allows extended time for these discussions, which typically feature direct questioning from host Andy Cohen.
Production for the reunion took place in New York City, where the full cast gathered for filming ahead of the episodes airing on Bravo. The first installment is scheduled for Tuesday, May 26, at 8 p.m. ET. The network has promoted the special as one of the most anticipated reunions in recent seasons due to the personal stakes involved for multiple cast members.
Solomon’s comments on the red carpet provided a preview of the emotional tone that may carry through the episodes. His admission of grieving lost friendships offered a personal window into how the group’s shifting alliances have affected even those not directly involved in the romantic developments. Cast members have historically used the reunion stage to address grievances that built up over the course of the summer filming period.
With the season 10 episodes having concluded, attention now turns to how the cast will navigate their relationships off-screen. Solomon noted the uncharted nature of the current situation, particularly regarding Cooke’s ongoing connections with the group. The awkwardness described by the cast member reflects the challenge of maintaining long-standing friendships amid significant romantic entanglements.
Miller’s public statements suggest she is focused on moving past the recent conflicts. Her remarks on the amFAR red carpet indicated a desire to close this chapter and look ahead to new opportunities. The reunion itself appears to have served as a turning point for several cast members seeking resolution.
The full three-part reunion will air weekly on Bravo following the May 26 premiere. Viewers can expect extended discussions on the Batula-Wilson relationship, the impact on Miller, and additional house dynamics highlighted by Solomon. As the cast processes these events publicly, the episodes are likely to provide further context on how the group plans to move forward in future seasons.
