Kyle Cooke has voiced concerns that the recently revealed romance between Amanda Batula and West Wilson could threaten the future of Bravo’s Summer House.
Romance Confirmed and Cast Reaction
Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirmed their relationship via a joint statement on Tuesday. A source close to the situation told Page Six that the pair are now in a “full-blown relationship.” The news has reportedly caused friction within the cast, with insiders describing them as “pissed” and “disappointed.”
Ciara Miller, who previously dated Wilson and is currently navigating unresolved feelings for him, has reportedly received support from other cast members.
Cooke’s Concerns About Filming
Cooke shared his worries with street journalist Adam Glyn, stating, “It really does put into jeopardy what the show’s about. You can’t shoot ‘Summer House’ if the vibes are off. We’re not actors.” He emphasized the impact on the entire friend group, adding, “It’s not just me, Amanda, West — it’s our whole friend group.”
Cooke also noted that castmate Carl Radke “is a mess” in the wake of the news. Despite his personal reservations, Cooke indicated he would be willing to film with Wilson if the show continues.
Questioning Wilson’s Character
Cooke expressed “big issues” with Wilson, suggesting he has a pattern of using charm to get what he wants. “I’m not saying he manipulated Amanda, but she’s really in a vulnerable spot,” Cooke stated. He also acknowledged that he would have returned for a potential Season 11, especially as he is currently single.
However, Cooke believes the “real issue” is whether the cast can film together effectively given the current circumstances.
Further Fallout
In addition to Miller, other cast members have reacted to the news. Dillard, who joined the show in Season 10 thanks to Wilson, and newcomer Mia Calabrese have both unfollowed Wilson on social media. Page Six obtained photos showing Miller’s emotional reaction upon learning of the relationship.
Batula’s relationship with Wilson comes shortly after her separation from Kyle Cooke.
