After West Wilson and Jennifer Fessler denied Ciara Miller’s accusation that they “slept together,” Miller threw more apparent shade on social media.
On Friday evening via Threads, Miller reshared a still of “Summer House” co-star Amanda Batula with a caption reading, “If I send this to you I’m about to lie straight to your face.”
Earlier that day on the same platform, Miller — who previously dated Wilson and was close friends with Batula before they announced they’re dating in March — accused “Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum Fessler of sleeping with Wilson.
As the drama escalated, Fessler took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday morning with a strongly worded statement.
“In all seriousness…and while I can’t help but be a little flattered, it is not nice, nor is it ok, to post something categorically untrue and defamatory on social media (regardless of whatever rumors or apparent ‘evidence’ led you to that conclusion,” she wrote.
“That is the definition of libel. If it were true I would have no recourse,” she continued. “Because it’s a lie, this can get more complicated. Having said that, I hope we can rectify this. It’s enough now.”
Reps for Miller and Wilson did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment on Friday.
A social media user recapped Fessler’s kind words toward Wilson at Vulture’s The Masterminds of Reality TV event on Thursday, touching off a pair of shady comments by Miller.
“Former RHONJ ‘friend of’ Jenn Fessler was asked by Page Six about the Summer House scandal tonight and said this about West: ‘[West] is the cutest, sweetest golden retriever puppy dog. He does not mean any harm. He didn’t mean it. He’s just trying to have a good time. He doesn’t wanna hurt anyone. Give him a break.’ Girl…”
Miller, 30, responded on the Thread, “lol, because they slept together too.”
A social media user pushed back in the comments, citing Fessler’s longtime marriage to Jeff Fessler.
“Ma’am! I beg your pardon?!?! Ain’t that old lady married? Oh he got a type,” to which Miller responded, “That’s what I thought….” adding a cartwheel emoji.
Jennifer, 57, exclusively told Page Six on Friday, “It’s flattering that anyone would think someone who slept with Ciara Miller would be interested in sleeping with me.”
Wilson, meanwhile, took to Instagram Stories with an apparent denial on Friday, writing “News to me,” alongside a meme signaling that it doesn’t add up. He also tagged Fessler’s account in the upload.
Wilson, 31, and Amanda Batula, 34, released a bombshell statement revealing their secret romance in March — writing via Instagram that it was “never our intention to purposely hide anything.”
They also wrote that they “needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
A seemingly devastated Miller, who dated Wilson for about six months in 2023, was seen slumped just outside an Hermés boutique in the moments after the joint social media statement was released.
In April, an insider told Page Six that the couple’s co-stars — including Batula’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke — are “pissed” at and “disappointed” in the pair following the bombshell news.
“Southern Hospitality” star Mia Alario — who claimed she went on a date with Wilson in September — questioned the timing of the romance.
Alario told “Watch What Happens Live” host Andy Cohen last month that Wilson and Batula were already spending time together when she stepped out with the sports reporter, despite their claim they began dating in February.
“I met Amanda at BravoCon [in November] and she actually told me that they pregamed our date at his apartment,” she told Cohen.
“At the time, I was like, ‘Oh, you’re such a good friend. That sounds like such a good time.’”
Alario claimed Batula told her she gave Wilson “some advice and some tips” before their date. “I was like, girl, did we get the same tip or what? Damn. I don’t know.”
Alario referred to Batula and Wilson’s relationship as “a messy situation” and told Cohen she doesn’t “want any part of that at all.”
