Jennifer Fessler revealed that she is still struggling with the fallout from Ciara Miller‘s affair allegation involving West Wilson.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum also discussed her limited communication with the Summer House stars after Miller accused her of sleeping with Wilson. Both Fessler and Wilson denied the allegation.
Jennifer Fessler hasn’t moved past the cheating accusations
Fessler, 56, addressed the controversy during an interview with Us Weekly at Cure Addiction Now’s third annual fundraising event in Beverly Hills on November 9.
Although six months had passed since Miller made the accusation, Fessler admitted that the controversy still affected her.
“I will never, ever, ever be able to get past this,” she said.
Fessler revealed that Wilson contacted her shortly after the allegation surfaced. She said he felt terrible about the controversy and apologized to her husband, Jeff Fessler, for dragging their names into it.
However, she confirmed that they had not spoken since his apology.
When asked whether Miller had apologized, Fessler simply responded, “no.”
The disagreement began in May after Fessler defended Wilson during an appearance at Vulture’s The Masterminds of Reality TV event.
At the time, Wilson faced criticism over his relationship with Amanda Batula, who had previously maintained a close friendship with Miller.
Miller and Wilson previously had an on-and-off relationship before Batula went public with her romance with him.
Following Fessler’s public defense of Wilson, Miller alleged that the RHONJ star had slept with him despite her marriage to Jeff.
Both denied the accusation. Wilson responded through Instagram Stories, while Fessler rejected Miller’s claim in a separate social media statement.
Despite the controversy, Fessler told Us that she held no resentment toward Wilson.
She also addressed speculation that Wilson had started the rumor to impress others. However, Fessler said she did not believe he was responsible.
Fessler remained determined to discover how the rumor started.
“I have my theories about how this stupid rumor started, and I’m getting closer to actually figuring it out,” she said.
However, she did not identify anyone she believed was responsible.
