Summer House Reunion Audio Leak Sparks Investigation and Network Response

On April 23, Bravo filmed the “Summer House” reunion, where cast members discussed Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s newly confirmed romance. Within days, portions of the ten-hour recording surfaced online. Bravo’s investigation found the audio was captured without permission by a production staff member, who was subsequently terminated. The network warned platforms and fans not to share the illicit material.
