Ciara Miller Responds to West Wilson and Jennifer Fessler Hookup Denials

Ciara Miller has responded following public denials from West Wilson and Jennifer Fessler regarding claims that the two had a sexual encounter.

On May 8, 2026, Miller, 30, shared a still of Summer House cast member Amanda Batula on the social media platform Threads. The post included a caption stating, If I send this to you I’m about to lie straight to your face.

The post followed accusations made by Miller earlier that day, in which she claimed that Wilson, 31, had slept with Fessler, 57. Fessler has been married to her husband, Jeff Fessler, since 1999.

Miller’s allegations were triggered by an interview in which Fessler described Wilson as the cutest, sweetest golden retriever puppy dog. In response, Miller wrote on Threads, Lol, because they slept together too.

Wilson addressed the claims on May 8, 2026, via his Instagram Stories. He posted a meme depicting confusion and tagged Fessler’s account, writing, News to me.

Fessler also refuted the claims in a statement provided to Page Six on May 8, 2026.

It’s flattering that anyone would think someone who slept with Ciara Miller would be interested in sleeping with me, Fessler stated.

The dispute occurs amidst a complicated history between Miller and Wilson, who previously dated in 2023. Reports indicated that the pair had hooked up again in early 2026, after which they attempted to maintain a friendship.

In an April 2026 profile with Glamour, Miller discussed her efforts to establish boundaries with Wilson to facilitate a positive friendship.

I felt like we were trying to move in a more positive direction since we hadn’t spoken to each other in two years, Miller told Glamour. We had had a lot of conversations about, ‘OK, what do I need from you? What do you need from me? What are some of the boundaries that we want to keep in place? What’s going to make our friendship a lot easier?’ One of those [boundaries] was no more sleeping with people on Bravo. Obviously, now that’s out the window.

The friendship between Miller and Wilson reportedly deteriorated in late March 2026, when Miller learned that Wilson was dating Batula, 34. Batula had separated from her husband, Kyle Cooke, in January 2026 after four years of marriage.

Miller expressed a sense of betrayal regarding Batula, who had previously been a close friend. Speaking with Glamour in April 2026, Miller noted that while she believed men could be unpredictable in relationships, the situation with Batula was more distressing.

At the end of the day, a guy’s a guy. Whether or not West and I are working on a relationship, you just can’t put anything past a man, Miller said. But I just never would think that it would come from someone like Amanda, who has been what has felt like in my circle and in my corner for so long. I think that’s the craziest part.

Miller added that the genuine nature of her previous friendship with Wilson made the subsequent fallout more painful, stating that this was why she required time and space following the events.
