Summer House alum West Wilson and conservative pundit Tomi Lahren are fighting over women’s sports — something few could have possibly had on their 2026 bingo cards.

Lahren, 33, took issue with Wilson, 31, calling transgender athletes in sports a “non-existent issue” in a TikTok video last weekend, blasting him on her The Big Weekend Show and on X.

“He ruined Summer House, and now he’s attacking the integrity of women’s sports?!” she captioned a post on Monday, July 27, adding a clip from her show. “Left wing loser, West Wilson.”

Wilson quoted Lahren’s post on Thursday, July 30, writing, “Deflecting human rights issues back to reality tv drama is SO Fox News. But since you did… quite the pivot @TomiLahren.”

Lahren went into more detail on her show, speaking directly to Wilson.

“Listen here, West Wilson,” she began. “Wanting women’s sports and spaces to be for women only is not a right wing thing. It’s the decent thing to do. You should take some notes from your friend Sophie Cunningham and also we still don’t forgive you for ruining one of the greatest shows on Bravo, Summer House.”

Wilson and Cunningham, 29, cohost the “Show Me Something” podcast, and are longtime friends. Wilson spoke out in support of trans women after the Indiana Fever star voiced her opinion that trans women should not be allowed to play women’s sports.

“Transgender athletes in American sports is such a borderline non-existent issue,” he said in his TikTok.

He continued, “Right-wingers have convinced a massive portion of people in our country that these people are, like, a threat to sports in America, when mathematically it’s not the case at all. And by continuing to platform this — politicians, athletes, journalists, news outlets — you’re only isolating transgender people even more by making them seem like this giant group of people is a threat to society, a threat to sports, when that’s just not proportionately the truth in any capacity.”

Wilson also cited NCAA president Charlie Baker’s 2024 congressional testimony in which he said there were fewer than 10 transgender athletes out of more than 500,000 competing across Divisions I, II and III.

“I think there are unique questions that can be handled on [an] individual basis, but to allow this to take attention away from housing, healthcare, and wars and all the other actual harmful s*** in our country is dumb,” Wilson said.

His video came after Cunningham doubled down on her anti-trans stance when asked about it at a Fever practice on July 22. The day before, she had been quoted in an ESPN feature saying she wants to “protect young girls in the locker room.”

“I think it’s kind of common sense,” she told reporters. “I think I’ll always believe in that. I think it’s really important to protect children.”
