Reality TV Alum Lexi Wood Urges 'Summer House' Cast to Date Outside the Group

Former 'Summer House' star Lexi Wood has some blunt advice for her former castmates embroiled in recent dating drama: stop dating each other.

Wood spoke exclusively with TMZ outside Craig's in West Los Angeles, offering her perspective on the recent romantic entanglements that have rocked the reality show's cast. Her message was clear—the cast needs to look beyond their shared house for romantic partners.

"The girls are better than the guys in the house," Wood stated, adding that cast member Ciara Miller "can do way better than the boys in the cast, anyway."

The comments come amid ongoing tension following the confirmation last month that castmates West Wilson and Amanda Batula are dating—a development that has created multiple layers of conflict within the group.

Miller, who previously dated Wilson, has unfollowed both him and Batula on Instagram. Meanwhile, Batula is the ex-wife of Wilson's former best friend and castmate Kyle Cooke, who reportedly felt "totally betrayed" by the relationship according to insiders.

Despite the messy situation, Wood expressed hope that Wilson and Batula's relationship lasts long-term, given the damage it has already caused to friendships within the cast. The couple was recently spotted sharing a kiss at a New York Yankees game, suggesting their romance continues despite the fallout.
