Summer House Star Amanda Batula Fronts New Edie Parker Campaign

Amanda Batula, known for her role on Bravo's "Summer House," is featured in a new, sultry advertising campaign for cannabis accessory brand Edie Parker. The 34-year-old reality star posed for photos showcasing her toned physique while smoking a joint to promote the products leading up to 4/20.

Batula expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration in an exclusive statement provided to Us Weekly. She noted that she had long anticipated working with the brand, stating, "I love Edie Parker. We knew we would work together one day and were just waiting for the perfect moment."

Normalizing Cannabis and Personal Expression

The reality television personality shared her pride in participating in the advertisement. Batula emphasized her goal of destigmatizing marijuana use. "I am proud to be a part of normalizing this plant, and the shoot was a bit of a fun departure from what I normally do," she commented.

She concluded her statement by highlighting the dual focus of the shoot. Batula humorously shared, "It's the perfect opportunity to spotlight two of my favorite things — boobs and bud."

Batula's Candid Stance on Marijuana Use

Batula's public embrace of cannabis comes amid recent on-screen discussions regarding her habits. Her estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, 43, faced criticism for expressing disapproval of her smoking during a February episode of "Summer House." Cooke voiced his frustrations to castmates West Wilson and Jesse Solomon.

However, Batula has maintained that her use of marijuana is not new or hidden. In a profile published by Marie Claire earlier this month, she asserted that she has "always been very open about smoking weed."

On-Screen vs. Reality

Batula clarified that she smokes regularly, even while filming the series. "I’ve never been ashamed or tried to hide it. I smoke weed every night at the house on camera," she told the publication.

She added that the network chooses not to air these specific moments. "We have a little balcony outside the primary bedroom, where I go out to smoke my little joint — Bravo just doesn’t air those scenes," Batula revealed.

Personal Life Update

The reality star and Cooke announced their separation in January after four years of marriage. The former couple shared the news via an Instagram statement, confirming their mutual and amicable decision to part ways.

The statement requested privacy for their healing process: "After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple. We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing." Since the announcement, Batula has remained active, securing opportunities like this Edie Parker photo shoot.
