The newbies on Summer House are really a huge part of making Season 8 one of the best yet. West Wilson and Jesse Solomon are two lovable bros who bring an element of silliness to the house. However, the duo aren’t afraid to get into the drama or be vulnerable about their personal lives on camera.
Recently, Jesse, in particular, has revealed even more about his health. He’s been open about his journey with testicular cancer after first being diagnosed in 2017. In the latest Summer House episode, Jesse broke down in preparation for his five-year check-up. He was particularly nervous that the cancer would come back like it did before for him.
West was the best friend that everyone deserves in that moment by consoling his friend and validating his feelings. Jesse’s feelings were amplified by the fact that he felt a lump on himself before the appointment. Unfortunately, the episode ended with Jesse needing to undergo further testing as the doctor also felt the mass.
Jesse is grateful for his support system
Jesse spoke to Bravo’s The Daily Dish about his feelings leading to that appointment, especially during the previous weekend in the Hamptons. “I’m very sentimental […] but with my own life I try to be very pragmatic,” Jesse explained. He added that he tried to be in a good head space and remain calm, but he couldn’t deny his fear, so he broke down crying in West’s arms.
Additionally, Jesse elaborated on the intense moment during the Summer House After Show. “I had gotten the blood tests and everything done before, so I was just supposed to show up [and] the doctor does his physical exam and you’re good to go,” Jesse explained. However, he was left with more questions and needed further testing.
In general, Jesse said his support system made him feel cared about during that scary time in his life. “It just felt really good to have friends like that [who] show that they care,” he said. “I just felt lucky to have them.”
Summer House continues on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
