West Wilson may have denied hooking up with Jennifer Fessler<\/a> \u2014 but Margaret Josephs thinks he started the rumor himself.<\/p>\n

Josephs, 59, dubbed Wilson a \u201cf\u2013kboy\u201d who \u201csays things for clout\u201d while chatting with Page Six\u2019s \u201cVirtual Reali-Tea\u201d hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy at Tuesday\u2019s \u201cSummer House\u201d reunion watch party sponsored by The Cocktail Collection<\/a> at Branch at the Park Terrace Hotel.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s probably what happened,\u201d the \u201cReal Housewives of New Jersey\u201d star speculated, weeks after Wilson\u2019s ex Ciara Miller<\/a> made headlines for claiming he slept with Fessler.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo I think West might have said something to Ciara? Absolutely,\u201d Josephs said Tuesday. \u201cDo I think Ciara lies? Absolutely not. Do I think West might have said, \u2018This went down?’\u201d<\/p>\n

Fessler, who is married to Jeffrey Fessler, has denied the claim<\/a> \u2014 as has Wilson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Josephs even doubled down on \u201cnothing happen[ing]\u201d between the unlikely duo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have known at the time,\u201d she claimed. \u201cI think Jenn would have confided in me. She\u2019s known to be messy, she\u2019s always very touchy-feely, but nothing happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

The designer, who \u201cfelt bad\u201d for Jennifer and told her to \u201ccut it\u201d out and stop publicly \u201cdefend[ing]\u201d herself, noted that rumors spread last year about Wilson\u2019s co-star Jesse Solomon sleeping with Erika Jayne<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This, she alleged, may be \u201cthe other reason West was trying to say, \u2018I did something as well.’\u201d<\/p>\n

She quipped, \u201cThese women aren\u2019t using [them] for clout. These guys are little f\u2013kboys. No one cares about you, let\u2019s be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSummer House\u201d alum Stephen McGee pointed out that Joe Bradley from \u201cSouthern Hospitality\u201d was the one \u201cwho started this\u201d by revealing in 2024 that he hooked up with Luann de Lesseps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c[He] started the trend of \u2018let me try to sleep with a Housewife,’\u201d the actor said.<\/p>\n

Wilson did not immediately respond to Page Six\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

Wilson\u2019s \u201cIn the City\u201d co-star Lindsay Hubbard similarly called him a \u201cclout chaser\u201d<\/a> while discussing the Fessler scandal on Page Six\u2019s \u201cVirtual Reali-Tea\u201d podcast<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know he doesn\u2019t discriminate, there\u2019s no ageism. Whatever is walking, talking and has some holes, he\u2019s in,\u201d the 39-year-old said, insisting she was not \u201creally shocked\u201d by the chatter.<\/p>\n

Wilson, who is also under fire for his current romance with Miller\u2019s former BFF Amanda Batula<\/a>, reacted to Miller\u2019s bombshell claim by telling his Instagram followers the hookup was \u201cnews to\u201d him.<\/p>\n

Fessler also issued repeated denials \u2014 and hinted at a potential lawsuit by calling Miller\u2019s comment \u201cthe definition of libel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller, 30, subsequently shared a pointed message about \u201cliars\u201d<\/a> via Threads, also writing, \u201cDon\u2019t f\u2013k with me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"West Wilson may have denied hooking up with Jennifer Fessler \u2014 but Margaret Josephs thinks he started the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":668242,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[603,91,88,273373,99727,10857,92,24812,199847],"class_list":["post-668241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-bravo","tag-celebrity-news","tag-entertainment","tag-margaret-josephs","tag-real-housewives-of-new-jersey","tag-summer-house","tag-tv","tag-virtual-reali-tea","tag-west-wilson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=668241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668241\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/668242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=668241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=668241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=668241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
