Shortly after Paige DeSorbo announced her departure from Summer House, viewers learned that Lexi Wood wasn’t far behind. The model had a contentious season as she fell hard for Jesse Solomon. She also found it hard to bond with the rest of the cast, leading her to feel isolated from the group. Summer House is known for its one-hit wonders, but some fans thought Lexi would get a second chance.
Lexi Wood is leaving Summer House
On Friday, June 6, Lexi took to her Instagram to share her news with followers. The 27-year-old wrote, “Well that wasn’t the summer I signed up for but it definitely taught me a lot.” She added, “I stood up for women and for what’s right, even when it wasn’t easy and I’d do that again in a heartbeat. I’m leaving Summer House with no regrets (well … maybe one.)” Lexi ended her statement by writing, “I’m proud of the way I handled myself, proud of what I walked away from and even prouder of what I’m walking toward. Big things are coming! Stay tuned!”
Lexi’s journey on Summer House wasn’t what anyone expected. Day one, she found herself in a situation with Jesse. But the Canadian did let her sparkle shine through. She was praised for her fashion choices. And seemed to enjoy the parties each weekend. And while we didn’t get to know a lot about Lexi, fans quickly learned she was extremely close to her family. Lexi gave off a girl-next-door vibe, which was refreshing, as she often had open and honest conversations.
Lexi Wood has big plans for the fashion world
Now that Lexi is leaving the reality TV world behind, she is ready to make some big moves. Summer House viewers watched as she went on some photo shoots over the season. This included getting brand new headshots. Well, it seems they have paid off as she just announced that she was walking in swim week for Cupshe. She wore a stunning blue one-piece that showed her tush out on display. Lexi was also an invited guest to the Sports Illustrated beach party and fashion show, where she wowed in an emerald green dress.
The model is hustling. She has partnered with multiple brands, including Celsius, Alo, Ipsy, and L’Oréal Paris. But Lexi is making even bigger moves. She recently told Gabby Prescod on the Summer House: After Show that she would be launching her own lingerie line. She opened up about her career moves, saying, “I’m coming out with a lingerie collection. So it makes sense for my brand.” She hasn’t shared a release date, but one thing is for sure: she will have direct competition with Paige, who is also launching her own lounge line.
Lexi Wood is more than her Summer House storyline with Jesse Solomon
Even though Summer House is aimed at Millennials, Lexi became a quick fan favorite among Gen Z viewers. As the summer went on, Lexi grew wise to Jesse’s antics and bad behavior. She often called him out for his lack of truth telling and getting his toe sucked during a threesome. As the summer progressed, Lexi went so far as to accuse Jesse of love-bombing her. Viewers quickly learned that Lexi wasn’t a girl to be messed with. She proudly spoke out about the injustice and has refused to stay quiet on the subject.
She recently spoke on the Chanel in the City podcast, where she addressed how Jesse misrepresented himself. Lexi shared that the two had a disconnect because Jesse only told half-truths. She added, “There was a lot of context that would have made people kind of understand where I was coming from. So, I think naturally it just created an isolation for me in the house because it did put our roommates at a weird situation where they were like, ‘OK, well, Lexi’s new, we don’t quite know maybe how to bring this up to her.’” Lexi has helped fans learn valuable life lessons and doesn’t regret standing up for herself. We wish her all the best in the future!
Summer House is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
