Jennifer Fessler is hitting back after Ciara Miller accused her ex West Wilson of hooking up with the Real Housewives of New Jersey alum.
Speaking to Page Six on Friday, May 8, the F Major cofounder, 57, brushed off Ciara’s claim that she had been intimate with West, 31.
“It’s flattering that anyone would think someone who slept with Ciara Miller would be interested in sleeping with me,” Jennifer, who has been married to Jeff Fessler since 1999, told the outlet.
Jennifer’s comments about West at Vulture’s The Masterminds of Reality TV event on Thursday prompted Ciara, 30, to make the unsubstantiated claim.
The RHONJ alum defended West as he continues to face public backlash for embarking a romance with his Summer House costar Amanda Batula — who is also a former friend of Ciara’s.
“[West] is the cutest, sweetest golden retriever puppy dog. He does not mean any harm. He didn’t mean it,” Jennifer said at the event. “He’s just trying to have a good time. He doesn’t wanna hurt anyone. Give him a break.”
When Jennifer’s comments emerged via Threads, Ciara responded via the platform, “Lol, because they slept together too.”
West took to his Instagram Stories on Friday to hose down the speculation. The Summer House alum sarcastically wrote, “news to me.” He tagged Jennifer in his post.

After briefly dating, West and Ciara confirmed they’d split for good at the Summer House season 8 reunion, which was filmed in May 2024.
For her part, Amanda, 34, and husband Kyle Cooke, 43, confirmed their separation in January after four years of marriage.
When rumors then began to intensify that Amanda and West’s relationship had become more than platonic, the duo confirmed the speculation in March via a joint Instagram statement.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” they wrote in March. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
Meanwhile, Jennifer has spoken candidly in the past about the ups and downs in her own marriage to husband Jeff, including infidelity that occurred seven years after tying the knot.
“My marriage was definitely not my priority at that time, and it wasn’t for Jeff either,” Jennifer explained on the “I Do Part 2” podcast in February 2025. “We were just not connecting. We were not connecting on an emotional level, and we were not connecting on a physical level.”
While the couple eventually patched things up and continued to work hard on their union, Jennifer admitted on the podcast that she “completely lost my mind” after discovering Jeff was having an affair.
