West Wilson has set the record straight about his recent hangout with Salley Carson.
The Bravolebs sparked dating rumors this month after being spotted together in Columbia, South Carolina. Salley shared the unexpected crossover in a series of Instagram photos, confirming she had connected with the Summer House-mate during a recent football game between the University of Oklahoma and her alma mater, the University of South Carolina.

“Still recovering…still a Gamecock,” the Southern Charm-er captioned the Instagram, referring to USC’s mascot.
The carousel included a picture of Salley and West sitting side by side at Williams-Brice Stadium, along with Southern Hospitality couple Emmy Sharrett and Will Kulp. The group shot was pretty run-of-the-mill, but it was slide No. 4 that led some to believe that the two were more than just friends. The image showed Salley looking at the camera with pursed lips as West playfully pretended to lick her head.

Did West Wilson and Salley Carson go on a “double date”?
West was asked about the flirty encounter during the latest episode of his Show Me Something podcast with co-host Sophie Cunningham.
“Was it a double date?” Sophie asked. “Or was it just for fun?”
West explained he was at the October 18 football game for work-related reasons and had reached out to Will for some Columbia recommendations. (Will is currently attending law school at USC.)
“I had to do a Captain Morgan event at the University of South Carolina on Saturday. And [Salley] went there,” he said. “[Will] lives in Columbia… So I was like, ‘Yo, I’m gonna be in town. Show me where to go.’ And they just took me out to all the college bars, and it was really fun… just a lot of cheap bars and a zillion college kids running around… I will never complain that my job is to fly to host a tailgate for the day.”
Salley Carson says she would “swipe right” on West Wilson
So, no, West and Salley were not on a “double date” with the engaged Southern Hospitality couple; however, Salley previously expressed interest in dating West. She revealed this during her February appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, when she played “Swipe Right or Call It a Night.”
The game was pretty straightforward: Salley was presented with photos of eligible bachelors and revealed if she had any romantic interest in them. When it came to West, Salley smirked and stated, “swipe right,” indicating she was, indeed, interested in the sports writer.
