Paige DeSorbo had some serious words of caution for Lexi Wood about all the "yellow flags" in her and Jesse Solomon's newly exclusive relationship on the most recent episode of Summer House.
After "toe-gate" and Jesse's flirtations with Ciara Miller, Paige wondered in Season 9, Episode 11 how things might be different "if the roles were reversed," telling Lexi, "You guys don't have a strong enough foundation."
After asking if Lexi "really [likes]" Jesse during a sit-down at a party, she added, "I'm just saying you guys have had a lot of, like, tension and, like, random things for it only to be a month and a half."
"If you're not fully in it..." Paige began, before throwing up her deuces.
Still, Lexi continued to recap the ways in which Jesse had made her "feel icky" and how he claimed that he'd "changed so much for her."
That's when Paige cut off the Summer House newbie to say, "Lexi, look, if someone says to you that they had to change so much for you, you should walk away."
Lexi Wood and Jesse Solomon's "yellow flags," explained
Earlier in the April 23 episode, Ciara, Amanda Batula, Lindsay Hubbard, and Gabby Prescod revisited the several "yellow flags" Jesse had revealed to them about Lexi. They included her supposedly monitoring the girls he followed (and unfollowed) on social media, as well as her request that he stop commenting "crazy s--t" on girls' Instagram photos.
"Neither of those things are true," Lexi told Amanda, explaining that people had DMed her with Jesse's follower information "after toe-gate" happened. "All I said is I want you to hype the girls up nonstop, but, like, maybe don't be like, 'Oh my god, you're the hottest bitch I've ever seen. I f–king love you, I wanna marry you, blah blah blah.'"
Meanwhile, Jesse also apparently took issue with Lexi hanging out with West Wilson one night while they were all out in the Hamptons.
"I think the hypocrisy of Jesse right now is a little crazy," Lexi said in a confessional. "If I was doing the things that Jesse was doing, I would be in so much trouble."
Lexi Wood accused Jesse Solomon of "talking s--t" about her
Lexi finally confronted Jesse about “lowkey talking s--t” behind her back, during the party featured on Episode 11.
"The girls are telling me that you have yellow flags about me, making it seem like I'm some crazy, jealous girl and all this stuff, when you … literally have a fat-ass red flag of somebody sucking your toe," she contended.
Chalking the infamous toe-sucking incident up to a "dumb, drunk decision," Jesse blamed his "idiot friends" for throwing him under the bus. He also accused the model of wanting him to "be a robot" and not discuss his personal life with their housemates.
After Lexi claimed to have "emotional whiplash" from the disparity between the way she's heard he acts when she's away versus when they're together, he responded, "Everything is happening so fast right now that I just feel like our relationship is so fragile."
Are Lexi Wood and Jesse Solomon still together on Summer House?
During their conversation, Lexi cryptically stated, "You give me reasons to feel not secure in our relationship, and, like, I don't want to be in a relationship with someone who I can't trust. … All day I've been getting these, like, little pieces of information that just [don't seem] like the person that I want to be dating."
Jesse, for his part, added, "I just know that we have a great, genuine connection, and I thought we were gonna leave this weekend being like, whoa, we're boyfriend-girlfriend. Like, I'm not giving up on this by any means, but, like, I don't know what to tell you."
Though they ended the talk without making any definitive decisions about their future, a "dumbfounded" Jesse questioned in a vent session with West afterward if he and Lexi were "even that close," given that the foundation of their relationship was always so easily rattled.
West replied, "What's the foundation? … You met her f–king a month ago," to which Jesse responded, "Yeah, there is none."
