Imrul Hassan, a newcomer on Bravo’s popular reality series *Summer House*, recently opened up about his experience on the show, particularly regarding his unexpected editing. In a candid discussion on the “Taylor Taylor Taylor Show” podcast, he expressed his disappointment over being cut from several key scenes, which he described as feeling “so disrespectful.”
During his first season on *Summer House*, Imrul found himself at the center of attention due to his wild reputation, earning the nickname “Orgy Beast” from his housemates for his adventurous dating life. However, he revealed that despite the show’s focus on his exploits, significant parts of his story were left on the cutting room floor. “There’s so much that gets filmed and it doesn’t make the edit because there’s so much that we’re filming throughout the season,” he explained.
Imrul noted that he had never seen anyone completely edited out of a dinner scene before, which he found particularly shocking. He acknowledged that he had tried to be respectful and engaged during filming, but was blindsided by the final edits. “I don’t think I got the worst edit,” he mentioned during the reunion episode, but his perspective changed after watching the season unfold. He felt that he was unjustly excluded from several scenes, leaving him feeling overlooked.
One of the most painful cuts for Imrul was from a dinner scene where he excitedly discussed his initiative to establish an English school in his home village in Bangladesh. “To have seen that the last few episodes where they just shut me out — you can still see my shadow in some of them — you know and there’s obviously cast photos from the weekend where I’m clearly there, that felt so disrespectful,” he reflected. His goal was to use the platform to share his story, but the editing choices left him feeling marginalized.
Imrul’s experience on *Summer House* was not without its ups and downs. He had fun shooting the show during the summer of 2024, but he felt that producers struggled to find a coherent narrative for his character. “It was also a weird season because they had such a strong season with the men the year before, obviously, I had to follow that. They weren’t quite sure what to do with me,” he explained. This uncertainty was evident in the calls he received from producers, who expressed their challenges in integrating him into the show’s storyline.
Throughout the season, Imrul made headlines for his cavalier approach to dating, often bringing home different women without introducing them to his housemates. His candid discussions about attending sex parties and his romantic escapades contributed to his reputation, but he also shared more personal aspects of his life, including his family background. Despite the focus on his sexual exploits, he felt that there was more to him that viewers didn’t get to see.
As the season progressed, Imrul found himself grappling with the implications of his portrayal. He revealed that his family had reacted strongly to his on-screen persona. His sister-in-law’s family, who are religious, uninvited him to a family event after seeing his lifestyle showcased on the show. “I definitely felt like I was pigeonholed a little, but I led with the sex party,” he admitted, clarifying that he did not identify with the label of “orgy beast,” which he felt misrepresented him.
After the season concluded, Imrul made the decision not to return for a second season of *Summer House*. In an Instagram Story posted on June 18, he shared, “I’ve decided not to return for another season of Summer House — I know, shocking! It was an incredible opportunity, and I truly had a lot of fun.” He expressed gratitude for the support he received from fans and his castmates, particularly for their contributions to his foundation.
Imrul’s departure comes in the wake of other cast changes as *Summer House* prepares for its tenth season. The series, which first premiered in 2017, has seen numerous cast exits and changes, with fans eagerly speculating about who will return to the Hamptons for the upcoming season.
In summary, Imrul Hassan’s experience on *Summer House* has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows. While he enjoyed filming and appreciated the opportunity to share his story, the editing decisions left him feeling disrespected and misrepresented. As he moves on from the show, he remains hopeful about the future and grateful for the support he received during his time on reality television.
