Summer House’s West Wilson is setting the record straight after Ciara Miller accused him of sleeping with Jennifer Fessler.
Ciara, 30, made the claim on Friday, May 8, after Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Jennifer, 57, defended West amid his ongoing relationship dramas.
“[West] is the cutest, sweetest golden retriever puppy dog. He does not mean any harm. He didn’t mean it. He’s just trying to have a good time. He doesn’t wanna hurt anyone. Give him a break,” Jennifer said at Vulture’s The Masterminds of Reality TV event on Thursday. (Wilson, 31, caused controversy by hooking up with his costar Amanda Batula, 34, after previously dating her friend, Ciara.)
When the comments were posted via Threads, Ciara responded to Jennifer’s remarks by commenting, “Lol, because they slept together too.”

Taking to his Instagram Stories on Friday, West denied his ex’s accusations. He wrote “news to me” and tagged Jennifer alongside a popular meme that indicates confusion and facts not adding up.
A source close to West also hosed down the accusation, exclusively telling Us Weekly on Friday the claim was “absolutely not true.” The insider described Ciara’s comment as “such a silly allegation.”
After facing widespread speculation about their relationship, West and Amanda confirmed their romantic connection via a joint statement shared on March 31.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” read the statement. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
The pair added that their platonic relationship evolved into something romantic over time.
“We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected,” they continued. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
The new romance came just two months after Amanda and her Summer House costar Kyle Cooke announced their split after four years of marriage.

“After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,” Amanda and Kyle wrote via an Instagram statement in January. “We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.”
Meanwhile, Ciara shared her thoughts on West and Amanda’s budding relationship via an interview with Glamour published on April 17, revealing she had “less than 24 hours notice” before West and Amanda’s public statement was shared with the world.
“It’s one thing to experience hurt behind closed doors,” Ciara told the magazine. “To experience it so publicly is like another layer, and then to have to see what you thought was your life still play out in season 10. It’s a major mindf***.
