Jordan Verroi has certainly made an impression on his housemates on Season 3 of Summer House. He made waves by making out with Danielle Olivera and then expressing regret over their hookup and saying he was more interested in Paige DeSorbo when Danielle was away. He also claimed to make out with three girls in one night and told the housemates a raunchy, detailed account of losing his virginity. His wild tales have the roomies starting to suspect that he's not telling the truth.
One person who knew Jordan before Summer House is Hannah Berner, a fellow housemate this season. She and Paige work with Jordan, and therefore Hannah feels like she knows him better than most.
"I've always had his back because he really is an amazing person; he's really a kind, kind soul," Hannah told The Daily Dish podcast. "He would never hurt a fly. I just think he's working on who he is as a person. I'm from New York City so I don't know what it's like growing up in the South with a military family, super religious, and then living in New York City, so I feel like he's dealing with a lot of identity questions and not going about it the best way but I have hope for him."
Hannah also addressed one particularly hurtful comment that Jordan made when he compared Danielle to Paige.
"Some of the stuff he said that was mean about Danielle, he didn't really mean it; he's not going around talking bad about Danielle," Hannah insisted. "He made a comment that she was a rental car or something and he has since apologized to her. I just think he's one of those people that wants to be liked and we all can relate to that but it's sometimes hard to see that but he's being himself most of the time."
