NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Following rumors of a romance between her ex-flame Josh Popper and Madonna, 'Summer House' newcomer Sam Feher is addressing criticism over her treatment of Popper. Feher had introduced Popper to her housemates during a group hangout in the Hamptons, but soon realized she didn't have any romantic feelings for him. After spending a night together platonically, Feher went outside to tan while Popper sat alone by the front door. This has caused some viewers to take issue with Feher's behavior towards Popper, making her respond to the backlash.
Under @bravohistorian's post about Madonna, aged 64, and Popper's rumored fling, a popular comment read, "Honestly? Good for him! The way Sam just had him sitting by the front door was......". In response to this criticism of her behavior towards Popper on the latest episode of the show, Feher stated, “don’t forget u don’t see everything!!”. Another user questioned, "Why was he sitting by the door by himself most of the episode?". However, some fans defended Feher by stating that Popper is a "grown man" who can choose where to sit.
