Jesse Solomon is teasing his return to Summer House season 11 with a big hope for romance in the Hamptons—even as Bravo leaves much of the cast overhaul unconfirmed and several key faces are reportedly out after a viral romance scandal.
Jesse Solomon is in the driver’s seat, literally and romantically.
On Friday. July 3. the 33-year-old posted a TikTok video while driving to the New York hotspot. asking his followers. “Serious question. do we think this is the summer that I finally find love in the Hamptons?” He followed it with. “I hope so!” and added “Fingers crossed” over the video—an upbeat note amid the uncertainty swirling around Summer House season 11.
In recent updates. Jesse’s return has been confirmed for the new season. while other cast members have been left off the lineup. Us Weekly confirmed last month that Jesse is set to return for season 11. and that costars Amanda Batula. West Wilson. Levi Sebree and Ben Waddell have all been cut from the lineup.
Bravo has not publicly confirmed the rest of the new cast. That means returning favorites—Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, Kyle Cooke, Ciara Miller, Mia Calabrese, KJ Dillard, Dara Levitan, Bailey Taylor—could still be in play, along with any potential newcomers.
The shake-up hits especially hard for Amanda and West. West, 31, and Amanda, 34, were cut from Summer House season 11 after their viral romance scandal. The duo confirmed in March that they started dating two months after Amanda’s separation from husband Kyle, 43.
In a joint statement released with the news. West and Amanda said. “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 added that their connection “grew out of a genuine. longstanding friendship. ” which they said made it “especially important for us to approach this with care.”.
They also addressed timing directly: “As our feelings evolved. we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless.” West and Amanda closed the statement by saying. “We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”.
Even with their explanation, the news blindsided Ciara, 30. She was Amanda’s close friend and West’s ex. The group reunited for the cast’s emotional season 10 reunion, where West and Amanda’s attempts to clear the air only further divided the group.
Jesse’s own future has also been talked about beyond the show. During the Thursday. April 23 episode of the “Not Married to This” podcast. he said. “I would say. eventually. I want to build a sustainable music career. whatever that looks like.” At the time. he added. “Right now. I’m enjoying going […]”.
Weeks after the season 10 reunion aired. Us Weekly reported that West wouldn’t be a main cast member in the new episodes. West later confirmed the exit news himself in social media posts late last month. “I wanted to tell it on my own but that [exit news] is true. ” he wrote. adding. “In [Bravo’s] defense. I don’t think it would have been a fun summer.” Amanda. who also stars on the network’s In the City spinoff. has not publicly addressed her departure.
The core uncertainty heading into season 11 is what happens to the Hamptons chemistry once the cast lineup is changed—who comes back. who doesn’t. and what kind of romance can even survive the aftermath of last season’s fallout. For now. Jesse is betting on the simplest possibility: that the summer he’s stepping into will be the one where love finally finds him.
Summer House Jesse Solomon season 11 Bravo Hamptons Amanda Batula West Wilson cast overhaul TikTok
Love in the Hamptons sounds fake lol.
So he’s literally driving and filming asking for love?? Like be safe first. Also Bravo “uncertain” again, shocker. If Amanda and West are gone, it’s gonna feel weird.
Wait I thought the scandal meant they were gonna keep them for ratings though. Guess Bravo just picks and chooses. The article says he’s in the driver’s seat romantically but isn’t he also like… driving the car? Seems like nobody reads consequences anymore. Also they started dating after Kyle separation so I’m confused why it’s still a “viral” thing and not just normal reality drama.
Honestly I don’t care who’s back, I just wanna know if Carl/Lindsay are still on because they’re like the only reason I ever watched. Cutting Amanda and West after that whole romance thing feels like Bravo being dramatic for the headline. Jesse teasing “find love” like ok buddy meanwhile half the cast got fired? Also “unconfirmed newcomers” gives me anxiety lol I can’t keep up.
