Ciara Miller is unfazed by Lexi Wood’s latest claims about their relationship following a tumultuous Summer House season — but that doesn’t mean she wants to hangout anytime soon.
“Here’s the thing, I don’t care,” Ciara, 29, told The New York Post on Wednesday, May 7, when asked about Lexi’s latest quips about their dynamic. “If she’s here next year, great, but if she’s not, ‘See ya!’ I’ll never have to see her again.”
The model noted, “I’m used to people coming in and out and not staying. I just don’t care, honestly.”
Ciara’s remarks come hours after Lexi, 27, claimed on “The Viall Files” podcast that Ciara “asked” her “not to speak good or bad” about her or their costar Jesse Solomon.

Host Nick Viall wanted clarification, asking Lexi, “She’s asked you to keep her name out of your mouth?” which Lexi confirmed was accurate. “I just want to respect what she wants,” Lexi replied.
Ciara and Lexi met on season 9 of Summer House, which filmed in summer 2024. Newbie Lexi formed an instant connection with housemate Jesse, 31, who is known for being flirty with all the women in the house.
Throughout the season, Lexi and Jesse faced relationship issues one of which stemmed from his touchy-feely dynamic with Ciara — which hit an all-time high when Lexi was out of town one weekend.

Jesse also claimed that if housemate West Wilson hadn’t called “dibs” on Ciara during season 8 of the Bravo series he would’ve tried to date her, which rubbed Lexi the wrong way.
Jesse’s actions caused backlash from both Lexi and Ciara on the show. Ciara, however, exclusively told Us Weekly in March that she’s not sure why Lexi has an issue with her, especially months after filming wrapped.
“I am gonna watch and figure it out with the rest of you guys because I still don’t know,” Ciara told Us at the time. “In my head — and maybe this is just my world — I don’t really see it as a big deal.”
Lexi, meanwhile, has accused Jesse of “gaslighting” her all summer and claimed that when she invited both Jesse and Ciara to her birthday party last fall, they skipped it to hang out with each other.
“I will say, she talked about me last week on Watch What Happens Live,” Lexi claimed during her “Viall Files” appearance on Wednesday. “There was a birthday situation. The entire situation is [that] I put in our group chat that I’m having a birthday party if anyone wants to come. Some of our cast was out of town, so they, obviously, couldn’t. Then, some of our cast showed up, and [she] and Jesse didn’t answer.”
Lexi continued, “Then, Jesse posted that they got lunch the day of my birthday party. I have screenshots, and again, it’s what Jesse’s saying. … I will forever blame Jesse for all of that with her and I, but I can’t comment on anything about their relationship ‘cause I don’t know what it is.”
Ciara — who was also spotted getting cozy with Jesse in April while attending Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California — denied that she and Jesse were in cahoots about Lexi’s birthday.

“The rumor that, like, we skipped somebody’s birthday party — specifically Lexi’s birthday party — to, like, hangout … that didn’t happen,” Ciara revealed during an April appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
Ciara claimed on Wednesday that Lexi’s latest allegations seemed to come out of left field because when they filmed the season 9 reunion on April 24 everyone was chill.
“This is kind of crazy … I think we had a good time at this reunion,” Ciara told The Post. “We had a lot of giggles and despite all the other stuff, there was a ton of giggles at this reunion.”
Summer House airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
