Malia White faced an accusation on the latest episode of Winter House, as Jordan Emanuel claimed to have witnessed her hooking up with Kory Keefer.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Jordan, who is 31 years old, exclaimed during the episode of the Bravo series on Tuesday, November 7th. She was shocked when she witnessed Malia, who is 33 years old, and Kory, who is 32 years old, getting intimate in the kitchen. "After all the encouragement Malia gave me to pursue Kory, she goes and makes a move on him herself."
Feeling overwhelmed, Jordan went to the hallway where she found Alex Propson and began to cry as she shared her confusion about the situation. "I've had enough of tonight. I feel really strange and completely lost," Jordan confessed. "Malia built up this tension between Kory and me, and then she goes and kisses him. It's just really strange."
In the previous episode, Jordan informed Malia that she intended to take the initiative with Kory, which received a great deal of encouragement from Malia. In a confessional, the Below Deck Mediterranean star expressed her realization that she had unintentionally placed herself in the friend zone.
However, following a day spent on the slopes, an intoxicated evening unfolded, during which Malia seemed to increase her flirtatious behavior towards Kory. Meanwhile, Jordan observed from across the room as Malia appeared to share a kiss with Kory in the kitchen.
"You know that familiar sensation of searching high and low for your necklace? And then, when you finally come across your friend wearing it, you can't help but think, 'I always knew she had my necklace.' That's the exact sentiment I'm experiencing," Jordan expressed during a candid interview.
As the footage replayed in slow motion, the audience discovered that it wasn't a passionate kiss, but rather an intimate gesture. Malia innocently spat a sip of her drink into Kory's mouth, but Jordan interpreted the moment quite differently.
"I want to clarify, Kory and I did not share a kiss, not at all," Malia assured Jordan, who insisted she witnessed them exchange a "peck" near the kitchen island. "I genuinely mean it, there was never any kissing between Kory and me. It's a complete misunderstanding. I promise you, if it had happened, I would be honest about it."
In a confessional, Malia reiterated her stance to the cameras, stating, "I want to emphasize that I wasn't engaging in a kiss with Kory. It was simply an act of spitting in his mouth, devoid of any sexual meaning whatsoever."
She admitted, "Although I understand her perspective, I'm really annoyed because my relationship with Jordan means a lot more to me than a casual encounter with Kory."
As for Kory, he disclosed that his actions on Winter House caused tension with his girlfriend Sam Feher. "Some heated texts were exchanged," Kory shared exclusively with We at BravoCon on November 3, detailing Sam's response to his flirtatious scenes. "But ultimately, she knows the truth about what occurred and how it concluded. So, it worked out well."
Kory and Sam, both 26, first crossed paths on the seventh season of Summer House in 2022. Despite not being in an exclusive relationship at the time of filming Winter House earlier this year, Kory confirms that they have now become officially committed. Catch Winter House on Bravo every Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET.
