'Summer House' Season 9 Reunion: All the Hints the Cast Has Dropped

'Summer House' Season 9 Reunion: All the Hints the Cast Has Dropped

Newsweek15-05-2025

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources.
The Summer House Season 9 reunion is still a few weeks away from airing, but the cast has dropped a few hints about what viewers can expect.
While viewers are still watching the last few episodes of the season play out, the Summer House cast has already filmed the reunion, which will air at the end of the month. This season on the show, viewers got to see Paige DeSorbo struggle with her relationship with Southern Charm's Craig Conover; Ciara Miller and West Wilson navigate the fallout of a tumultuous friendship and relationship; and Jesse Solomon's whirlwind relationship with new cast member Lexi Wood.
Of course, viewers also got to see a new side of Lindsay Hubbard, who ended last season with her broken engagement from Carl Radke and started this season with the announcement of her pregnancy.
Reunions give the cast members a chance to rehash what happened the previous season and answer questions from Andy Cohen and fans about some of the biggest moments. Part two of last season's reunion was a viewership high for the season and fans' interest in the various relationships that didn't work out this season could bring in another high level of viewership.

The Hapa Blonde/GC Images//While the cast is supposed to keep details of the reunion under wraps until the episode airs, there have been tidbits of information that have trickled out over the last few weeks since the reunion filmed.
Imrul Hassan told Newsweek that he gets to show viewers a little bit more about himself on the reunion and give them more context to the person who was portrayed on the show. During the season, he opened up about being undocumented until he was 23 years old when he was confronted about the number of women he was inviting back to the house. He told Newsweek that, looking back, it might not have been the best context to bring up his back story, but he gets to elaborate on it during the reunion.
Amanda Batula, who was first introduced to viewers as Kyle Cooke's girlfriend in season one, said on Instagram that she was "shocked" by the seating chart that placed her next to Cohen. It's a coveted seat and shows Batula's transformation from not being a full-time cast member on season one to being a critical part of the show in her own right nine seasons later.
Reunions can often turn contentious, but DeSorbo recently revealed on an Amazon Live that the cast "had a good time" and it's the most she's ever laughed at a reunion.
"Obviously there was a part where it was not great vibes and people were fighting," DeSorbo said. "But overall, as a reunion whole, probably one of my favorite ones."
Hubbard seemed to echo DeSorbo's reflections on the reunion, telling Us Weekly that she had a "great time" at the reunion and the cast hit "every emotion."
"I think that there are a lot of things that you might expect to happen, but things are unexpected as an outcome," Hubbard said.
Hubbard added that she wasn't "directly in the hot seat" during the reunion, which was a new place to be for her after nine seasons.
Solomon's relationship with Wood this season drew parallels to Wilson's relationship with Miller last season. During the season 8 reunion, Wilson found himself in the hot seat as his cast members questioned his behavior toward Miller. When asked on the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast if Solomon had as much to answer for at the season 9 reunion as he had to during season 8, Wilson said Solomon could "walk out of the room with his head up."
When it comes to if Wood was supported at the reunion or was left out on her own, Wilson said on the podcast that it was a mixture of both.
"I will say in her defense, like she's so articulate and well-spoken that, like, I think she could hold her own in any situation ever," Wilson said. "She, like, doesn't need help at all. But yeah, there's, like, so many weird complexities to this situation. But I will say, like, she was certainly, like, leading the charge."
After Wednesday's episode, Solomon appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and was asked about a toe-sucking incident that occurred in a room with Hassan, sparking tension with Wood. Cohen asked what really happened in the room and Solomon said people will "find out at the reunion." But it's unclear if anything actually comes to light during the reunion because he quickly followed it up with "nothing" and said "I can't hold water, Andy."
Solomon also teased a major announcement that happens at the reunion, sparking tons of speculation as to what it could be.
"I would say there was, like, a big announcement that we were all very surprised by," Solomon told fans during an Amazon Live. "But I can't tell you what."
The final episode of the season will air on May 21, with the reunion after that.

‘Blake Lively Khaleesi Text' Trending Amid Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

Wondering why the phrase 'Blake Lively Khaleesi Text' is trending again? As the legal battle between Lively and Justin Baldoni continues to escalate, the curiosity about previous text exchanges between them is growing. Here are more details on the trend. The phrase 'Blake Lively Khaleesi text' has been making waves online, as her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni grows increasingly tense. The message, sent during a behind-the-scenes dispute over the film adaptation of It Ends With Us, has yet again resurfaced. This follows a major update in their court case. On June 2, a federal judge ruled that Lively's emotional distress claims would not proceed after her legal team opted to drop them. The court also denied Baldoni's request to obtain her private medical and therapy records, since those claims were no longer part of the case. Meanwhile, on June 5, Lively publicly criticized Baldoni for distancing himself from the feminist ideals he once promoted. Lively's spokesperson told Us Weekly, '19 leading survivors and organizations devoted to women's rights, children's rights and domestic violence have now signed onto four separate amicus briefs. All are united in opposing Justin Baldoni's attempt to dismantle a law designed to protect women who speak up — simply to protect himself.' The tension first started during production on It Ends With Us, where Lively was cast as the lead. Later, she reportedly became heavily involved in shaping the script. According to Baldoni's legal complaint, she pushed for significant rewrites and tried to take creative control. While Baldoni acknowledged her enthusiasm, he chose to incorporate only parts of her suggestions. That decision reportedly upset Lively. She later brought up her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and friend Taylor Swift in a conversation. The situation took a dramatic turn with a final message, now known as the 'Khaleesi text.' Drawing a parallel to Game of Thrones, Lively wrote, 'If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you'll appreciate that I'm Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons.' 'For better or worse, but usually for better. Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really, we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. You will too, I can promise you,' she added. (via Hola!) The trial of this legal battle is set to begin in March 2026. Originally reported by Disheeta Maheshwari on ComingSoon.

Blake Lively's Critique of Justin Baldoni Gains Support from 19 Women's Groups

Blake Lively called out Justin Baldoni, and now, 19 women's rights groups are backing her. What started as a legal dispute has turned into a public reckoning, with advocacy organizations stepping in to defend Lively's right to speak out. They are not just supporting her claims of sexual harassment but also calling out Baldoni's legal tactics as dangerous to survivors everywhere. In a new wave of support, 14 additional organizations, including the National Organization for Women and the National Network to End Domestic Violence, filed amicus curiae briefs. They are urging the court to dismiss Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation suit against Blake Lively. This brings the total to 19 groups that stand with her. These groups accuse Baldoni of using DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) strategies to silence Lively and twist the narrative. Furthermore, Lively's team directly called out Baldoni's shift in public stance. Once known for his feminist messaging in podcasts, interviews, and his viral 2017 TED Talk, Baldoni now faces criticism for betraying those same values. 'Where he once upon a time urged men to listen to the women in your life … to hold their anguish and actually believe them,' Lively's statement read. 'Now, contradicting years of his own public persona.' In a June 5 statement to Us Weekly, Lively's spokesperson emphasized the significance of the support from 19 organizations, including Child USA and Sanctuary for Families. 'All are united in opposing Justin Baldoni's attempt to dismantle a law designed to protect women who speak up, simply to protect himself,' the statement read. For those in need of more context, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's lawsuit battle started in December last year when Lively sued Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and reputational damage. Baldoni denied the claims and countersued Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist for $400 million, accusing them of defamation. Both sides have filed motions to dismiss aspects of the case, with a trial expected in 2026.
