Imrul reflects on his image and Summer House cast connections

During the Summer House season 9 reunion, Imrul Hassan spoke about how he was labeled the “o*gy beast” during the summer. Andy Cohen asked if the nickname bothered him, to which Imrul replied.

“I mean, I definitely felt like I was pigeonholed a little bit.”

Looking back, he shared that he wished he had explained it was not something he did often and admitted the nickname probably stuck because of that story.

Imrul also spoke about how his actions during the summer—like bringing women back to the house—might have given the wrong idea. He said it may have seemed like it was happening every night, but in reality, it only happened a few times across the whole summer. He thought it wasn’t as frequent as people believed.

Reflecting on the season, Imrul admitted he struggled to build connections with the rest of the cast.

“I didn’t do a good job in connecting with people, especially someone who is there by themself, essentially,” he said.

Imrul acknowledged that being in a new environment was a challenge and that he “just kinda leaned into what I knew.”
