Tensions Rise at the Reunion
The second installment of the Summer House reunion proved to be emotionally overwhelming for Amanda Batula. The reality star walked off the stage in tears after facing harsh criticism regarding her controversial romance with West Wilson and being questioned about her awareness of Wilson’s previous relationship with Meija Moreno.
Lindsay Hubbard did not hold back, telling Amanda, “He’s definitely going to do it to you, Amanda,” while suggesting that West, 31, was merely using Amanda for publicity before eventually discarding her. Despite West holding her hand on the couch, Amanda, 34, struggled to maintain her composure, admitting later that she felt “bamboozled” and embarrassed by the origins of her relationship with West.
The Meija Moreno Connection
During the reunion, Ciara Miller, West’s ex-girlfriend and Amanda’s former close friend, took a more direct approach by calling Meija backstage to clarify the timeline of events. Meija alleged that she and West were in an exclusive relationship during the summer of 2025, even while he was filming the show. According to Meija, West often referred to her as his girlfriend and spent every weekend with her, despite his public claims to the contrary.
“We just weren’t in a public relationship. Literally, I was at his house every weekend he was filming. We knew we were in an exclusive relationship,” Meija claimed during the phone call.
Kyle Cooke, who split from Amanda in January after four years of marriage, joined the conversation, dismissing West’s claims that he avoided publicizing their relationship due to pressures from Bravo. “That’s bulls*,” Kyle stated, clarifying that the network imposes no such restrictions on the cast’s personal lives.
Criticism of West Wilson
The reunion featured several cast members calling out West’s character. KJ Dillard, a long-time friend, compared West’s behavior to that of his father, citing a pattern of womanizing and dishonesty. Meanwhile, Dara Levitan, who had also dated West previously, warned Amanda that the relationship would always be “The West Show.”
“He likes people to think of him as a good guy, but you treat the women that give themselves to you like they’re expendable,” Dara remarked. She further cautioned Amanda to be wary, noting that West often prioritizes his public image over the respect and care of his romantic partners.
Marital Disputes and New Dynamics
The discussion also turned to the fractured dynamic between Kyle and Amanda. While reflecting on their past, Kyle addressed allegations of infidelity, insisting he has been faithful since their 2021 wedding, despite Amanda’s counterclaims regarding his behavior at social events.
The reunion also touched upon the strained relationships within the group, including the decision by Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard to participate in an advertisement that referenced the show's drama. Ciara expressed her frustration with the group's shifting allegiances, questioning the moral standards of those involved in the ongoing controversies.
As the reunion continues, the cast remains divided, with unresolved tensions surrounding honesty, loyalty, and the complex entanglements of their personal lives. Part three of the Summer House reunion is scheduled to air on Bravo on Tuesday, June 9.
