Jesse Solomon Talks Imrul Hassan’s Relationship With ‘Summer House’ Cast

Jesse Solomon has been at the center of all the drama during season 9 of “Summer House,” and it doesn’t seem like it’s coming to an end anytime soon.

During an exclusive interview with The Blast, Solomon spoke with us about his exciting new partnership with FRESCA Mixed before touching on his second run with Bravo.

Of course, Jesse Solomon, 31, spoke briefly about his scrutinized relationship with Lexi Wood. However, what really stood out was his candid explanation for Hassan’s visibly strained relationship with some of the other cast members.

Since season 9 of “Summer House” has been airing, loyal Bravo fans have highlighted Hassan’s noticeable disconnect with his other castmates, especially the men.

Conversations intensified after Solomon, in another interview, seemingly took a shot at Hassan by revealing the male castmates have a group chat without him.

However, speaking to The Blast, Solomon downplayed any serious issues with Hassan, assuring us things between them are just fine. “We spent some time together, but not a ton,” he said before admitting Hassan isn’t one of his “best friends.”

“We did beef a little bit,” he added before explaining that viewers would “see it play out on the reunion.”

When asked if the tension Solomon was referring to involved “toe-gate” (a scene in which Solomon willingly entered Hassan’s room, aware that the latter was inside with two other women (allegedly engaged in a threesome), and remained for 37 minutes), the reality star shared even more.

“[Hassan] admitted that he dared me to get my toe sucked,” said Solomon. “Nothing else happened. So, those are all facts.”

During our interview with Solomon, the Bravo star also opened up about Hassan’s storyline—one that, so far, has largely showcased a string of hookups, overshadowing his interactions with anyone else in the house.

“I’m not going to say what he did was right or wrong, but when I came to the house, I just wanted to become friends with everyone,” Solomon said, noting that Hassan’s personal relationships with the other castmates weren’t as strong. “That was my main focus.”

“I wasn’t trying to really date anybody in the house or out of the house. I was just kinda like, let me get to know these people,” he added.

Solomon also touched on an earlier scene in which Paige DeSorbo and Ciara Miller confronted Hassan over the number of visitors he brought back to their shared house. “It feels obnoxious at this point,” Miller said. “It’s a matter of what you’re bringing into this house.”

Although the moment was bold, Solomon told us that their reactions were justified.

“I think the girls’ issue with [Hassan] is he was like, ‘I wanna have a relationship with you guys,’ but then his actions were different than the words coming out of his mouth. At that point in the summer, like he and I were beefing a little bit, so I wasn’t super upset to see the girls go after him,” he said.

Solomon also discussed the upcoming “Summer House” reunion, which will most certainly focus on his contentious relationship with Wood.

Although the Bravo star admitted he wasn’t “excited” about the gathering, he does feel “at peace with what happened.”

“I feel like I took accountability for anything that I did that was messed up,” he continued, adding that he’s “trying to learn from it and be better.”

Solomon was also eager to speak with The Blast about his partnership with FRESCA Mixed, which he called the “premium cocktail in a can.”

As part of the company’s “What’s The Tee?” campaign, Solomon joined Heather McMahan to co-host a new online show designed to demystify golf and unite players of all levels. They also discuss how FRESCA Mixed is the perfect 19th-hole cocktail.
