5/7/2026, 12:36:49 PM

Background and Core Conflict

During the May 5, 2025 episode of Bravo’s *Summer House*, a dinner clash erupted between West Wilson, Amanda Batula, and Kyle Cooke. The fight centered on Wilson’s secret romance with Batula, confirmed in March 2025, against the backdrop of Wilson’s 2023 split from Ciara Miller and Batula’s separation from Cooke (announced Jan 2026).

Key Figures

Key players: West Wilson (ex-boyfriend of Ciara Miller, now dating Amanda Batula), Amanda Batula (ex-wife of Kyle Cooke, friend of Miller), Ciara Miller (Wilson’s 2023 ex-girlfriend), and Kyle Cooke (DJ, Batula’s ex-husband).

Timeline

  • Late Aug 2025: Dinner confrontation filmed; Kyle uses profanity.
  • May 5, 2025: Episode airs; Kyle shouts “F--- you” at Amanda and leaves.
  • May 6, 2025: West calls the reunion “the darkest form of therapy” on his podcast.

On-the-Ground Report

At dinner, Kyle answered a question about his Las Vegas residency by shouting an expletive at Amanda, shocking everyone. Lindsay Hubbard urged him to aim profanity at her. West moved his chair beside Amanda, telling Kyle to “talk to Lindsay, don’t look at Amanda.” Kyle threw his drink, exited, and clashed with Carl Radke.

Official Statements & Responses

West Wilson, on his *Show Me Something* podcast, said, “You don’t often get that much feedback on how your actions impact other people… I can learn and try to be better.” Kyle Cooke said he felt “under attack” and called the separation talks “disheartening.” Amanda Batula said she would “die for” Ciara Miller and would “cut West off in one f***ing second” if he threatened Miller’s heart.

Criticism & Opposition

Amanda Batula called Wilson “skeptical” and “weary,” doubting he was “marriage material” for Miller and stating, “until a man is capable of doing that, I don’t trust anyone with her heart.”

  • “F--- you,” — Kyle Cooke, cast member (directed at Amanda)

Impact on Cast Dynamics

The clash deepened rifts in the *Summer House* group, sparking debate over loyalty, “girl code,” and dating a friend’s ex. Ben Waddell, Sabrina Belle and others voiced disappointment, while Carl Radke tried to mediate.

Conflicting Reports & Gaps

Sources differ on the “boundaries” Miller and Wilson set; one cited a rule against “sleeping with people on Bravo,” later called “out the window.” No clarification has been given.
