Lexi Wood will not be returning to Summer House.
On Friday, June 6, the 26-year-old model announced she is exiting the hit Bravo series after one season. She shared the news on her Instagram Stories and included a dig to her ex, fellow castmate Jesse Solomon.
“Well… That wasn’t the summer I signed up for but it definitely taught me a lot,” Wood wrote. “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 😉),” she continued, referring to Solomon, 31. “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! 💋✨”

This comes days after season 9 of Summer House came to an end, where Wood struggled to navigate dating Solomon after learning of his behavior that happened behind her back. The pair's whirlwind romance started when they decided to pursue a relationship within days of meeting, but as the summer went on, Wood began to question his intentions.
“I’ve just caught him in so many lies,” she said in the May 14 episode. “After reflecting on the summer, I’m actually realizing all of the stress and chaos and drama I felt stems from him.”
She later broke up with the reality star on camera, noting that she gave him “so many chances” to be honest about his flirtation with costar Ciara Miller and an incident involving him getting his toe sucked by “a random girl” when Wood was away for the weekend.
“I’m looking for a relationship that's deep,” she explained. “And like I feel connected to them and I feel like we unfortunately haven't been able to break that, even though I try so hard to kind of get deep with you and feel like you’re my person. And I always give you the benefit of the doubt and I’m always trying to figure out how I can make whatever you say make sense in my head. And I feel like you aren't ready for the relationship I'm looking for.”
“You’ve changed me,” she added. “I no longer trust people like I did at the start of the summer. I feel like the light in me is slowly dying because I’m exhausted from teaching you.”

Wood isn’t the only person leaving Summer House. On Thursday, June 5, Paige DeSorbo revealed her exit following a seven-season run on the show.
"I have a little life update for you: I've made the decision not to return to Summer House," the fashion influencer, 32, wrote on her Instagram Stories. "Being part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life — the friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable," she continued. "You've seen me grow up over these last 7 summers. I'll always be beyond grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it's time for this chapter to close."
"To my castmates, the fans, and my NBCU family: thank you. I never could've imagined what this journey would turn into — and how many of you would be along for the ride,” she concluded. “And you haven't seen the last of me, I promise. So much more to do together, but for now you know you can always find me and Daphne in my bed."
