Imrul Hassan thinks Bravo did him dirty after he was allegedly cut from several Summer House scenes during his one and only season on the show.
“There’s so much that gets filmed and it doesn’t make the edit because there’s so much that we’re filming throughout the season,” Imrul explained during the Friday, June 27, episode of the “Taylor Taylor Taylor Show” podcast.
The season 9 newcomer claimed, “But I’ve never seen — and I’ve talked to some of the people on the show as well — someone just getting edited out of a whole dinner scene.”
Imrul, who was dubbed “Orgy Beast” by his housemates because of his sexual exploits, noted that he “tried to be respectful to the show and the process” and didn’t think much of his edit while filming.

He pointed out that when he appeared on the season 9 reunion in May, he said, “I don’t think I got the worst edit.”
At the time, Imrul took responsibility for how he was portrayed on camera as well. “There was some fault on my own too. I wasn’t as engaging as I wanted to be and whatever,” he added. “Things that happened through the season.”
Once he watched the full season, however, Imrul felt different about his screen time, claiming he was cut entirely from scenes for no reason.
“To have seen that the last few episodes where they just shut me out — you can still see my shadow in some of them — you know and there’s obviously cast photos from the weekend where I’m clearly there, that felt so disrespectful,” Imrul confessed. “I don’t know if I can get over that. It’s definitely messed up.”
He revealed that during the aforementioned dinner scene he was especially hurt because he was “talking about my school that I was super excited about and they cut that out.” (Imrul founded an English school in his home village in Bangladesh last summer and had the “goal” of using the Summer House “platform” to talk about it.)

While Imrul admitted he had “fun” shooting the show in summer 2024, he claimed Bravo never had a clear path for his story arc.
“It was also a weird season because they had such a strong season with the men the year before, obviously, I had to follow that. They weren’t quite sure what to do with me,” Imrul claimed on the podcast.
He alleged, “One of the calls I got from — the last calls I got from — the producers was, like, ‘Listen, we hate to call somebody part-time you know that’s but like we’re trying to figure out what to do with you.’”
Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo for comment.
Throughout season 9 of Summer House, newbie Imrul made a splash for bringing home different girls and never introducing them to his castmates. He was also called “Orgy Beast” because he told the crew about going to sex parties and hooking up with multiple women at one time.
As the season continued, Imrul did share a little about his upbringing and his family, but for the most part it was his sexual exploits that were front and center. During the season 9 reunion, which aired in May, he got real about his nickname and how his family perceived the title.

“I definitely felt like I was pigeonholed a little, but I led with the sex party,” he said of his reputation. “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. I’m more of an orgy novice.”
Imrul revealed that his sister-in-law’s family is “religious,” and after seeing his sex life so prominent on the show, he was uninvited to his nephew’s birthday party.
The story took the rest of the cast by surprise, and they admitted they could have done better to ask him non-sex-related questions as well.
Imrul has since announced that he is not returning for a second season of the reality show. “I meant to share this last week, but with everything going on, the timing didn’t feel quite right. I’ve decided not to return for another season of Summer House — I know, shocking!” Imrul wrote via his Instagram Story on June 18. “It was an incredible opportunity, and I truly had a lot of fun.”
He didn’t appear to harbor hard feelings about his run, adding, “I won’t drag this out, but I want to say thank you for all your support — and for supporting my foundation as well. A special shoutout to my castmates for their generous donations and for helping spread the word. Overall, it was a really good experience. Would recommend.”
Imrul’s departure came after fellow season 9 newcomer Lexi Wood announced her exit and after seven-year veteran Paige DeSorbo revealed she would not be back for season 10.
