Summer House star Ciara Miller explained that she had to set “boundaries” while filming season 9 of the reality show with West Wilson after their split.
After fans watched Ciara, 28, and West, 28, pursue a romance during season 8 of the Bravo show, the pair confirmed they tried dating at the end of the summer 2023 and revealed they called it quits during the reunion in June.
Fresh off of filming season 9, Ciara told Decider on Tuesday, September 10, that she felt “so much more comfortable with [herself] and with the house” going into the most recent summer.
“ I don’t feel bad for making boundaries ,” she said when asked how filming season 9 was different from season 8. “I don’t feel bad for expressing the way that I feel. And honestly, I’m genuinely being myself and keeping it real. If you don’t like it, if they don’t like it, it’s whatever.”
