“Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard” stars Jasmine Ellis Cooper and Bria Fleming are unfazed by castmate Amir Lancaster’s ultimatum about his girlfriend, Natalie Cortes, joining the show.
The besties shared their thoughts on the matter with Page Six during Thursday’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” live podcast taping presented by Tri-State Cadillac at Chelsea Table & Stage in New York City.
“He’s grown. He’ll be 30. Him and Bria are, like, the same age. Like, you’re a grown man. If that’s how you feel, great,” Cooper, 32, said. “Stand on business.”
Meanwhile, Fleming, 28 — whose boyfriend, Simon Marco, has appeared as a guest on the Bravo reality show — said that she’s returning to the show with or without the handsome German.
“I mean, I’m coming back regardless of if Simon comes back or not, so … I mean, no shade to him,” the fashion entrepreneur stated.
If Lancaster, 27, chooses to forgo the next installment of “SHMV” — should Cortes not make the casting cut for a potential Season 3 — Cooper said she will support the real estate agent’s decision to sit it out.
“If that’s how he feels,” the screenwriter told us, “we respect his feelings.”
Lancaster explained during a recent appearance on the “Positively Uncensored” podcast that he’d only sign on for another round of filming if Cortes was involved.
“At the end of the day, I want her to be there with me this time. That’s how I know I’ll have the most fun,” he said.
“It’s fun to party with your friends but, like, real adult vacations, everyone brings their significant others. No one bats an eye about it and you have a great time.”
Lancaster further elaborated in the podcast episode, released earlier this month, “So if all of those things line up, absolutely I would love to be back for a Season 3.
“If they don’t, then I’ve just got some heavy thinking [to do] … because I’ve got to make sure that if this does end one day, that I’m good and that the family that I’m planning on having one day is going to be taken care of.”
Cortes was featured on several episodes of “SHMV” Season 2.
Notably, she started drama by relaying details from a private conversation about cast member Nick Arrington to others not involved in the discussion.
Prior to that, Cortes faced criticism — including hot takes from “Real Housewives of Potomac” alum Candiace Dillard — for eyebrow-raising comments she made comparing her and Lancaster’s real estate careers.
Cortes previously boasted hat she represents properties that are “over $2 million,” while her partner sells homes that are “under $1 million.”
However, Lancaster defended is girlfriend when speaking to “Virtual Reali-Tea” earlier this month.
“She’s not sure of what to say or how to come across in the right ways. So she is trying to be as poised and as perfect as possible because she doesn’t want people to hate her,” he said.
“She doesn’t want to be too vulnerable, but she doesn’t also want to be too uptight.”
Cooper and Fleming participated in the “Virtual Reali-Tea” live show Thursday alongside “Real Housewives of New York City” alum Dorinda Medley, “Real Housewives of New Jersey” stars Rachel Fuda and John Fuda and “Summer House” stars West Wilson and Jesse Solomon.
