Even Bravo’s biggest reality stars are shocked by the drama surrounding the cast of Summer House.
The Internet lit up when Amanda Batula confirmed her romance with BFF and costar Ciara Miller’s ex-boyfriend West Wilson.
“Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it,” Amanda and West shared in a joint statement via Instagram on Tuesday, March 31. “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
Their statement continued, “As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
While much of the cast is trying their best to stay quiet until the season 10 reunion films later this spring, other Bravo stars are speaking out online.
