Ciara Miller’s future on Summer House remains unclear amid the fallout from Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s relationship.
“Ciara is thinking about coming back to the house,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “Likely for one last season to prove a point.”
The insider points out that Ciara, 30, is “going to be busy with Dancing With the Stars and Love Island, so she hasn’t made a final decision yet.” (Ciara will compete on season 35 of DWTS this fall and is set to cohost Love Island USA Aftersun alongside Tefi Pessoa.)
As of now, Ciara is “leaning towards going back for one more season,” the source says. If that comes to fruition, “there is a chance she will face Amanda and West.”
The cast, however, doesn’t think Ciara will return “because they don’t think she will face them.”
According to the source, the plan is to start filming season 11 of the Bravo show in July but the official “cast is unknown right now because producers have not made a final decision.”
While Ciara’s future on the show is up in the air, Amanda’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, “wants to go back to the show,” the insider tells Us. (The former couple split in January after four years of marriage, just weeks before Amanda and West confirmed their romance in late March.)
“Producers may not even ask West to come back because he was lying to them about other women he was dating and producers are not happy that he’s been lying to everyone,” says the insider. “Kyle, Ciara, the rest of the cast have been vulnerable, at least about who they were dating.”
West recently opened up about having a face-to-face with Kyle, 43, last week to discuss the scandal that has embroiled Summer House.
“I’m not going to say [we’re] good. Nothing’s, like, perfect right now, but we talked for like three hours on Wednesday,” West shared on the Monday, May 25, episode of the “Show Me Something” podcast, which he cohosts with WNBA player Sophie Cunningham.
“I offered. I was like, ‘Dude, I’m not trying to get to a better place with you for this f***ing show. I do care about you as a friend, and this doesn’t need to be filmed,’” he said, adding that the meet-up was caught on camera for either Summer House or In The City.
“Kyle was like, ‘This all happened. Our lives have been on camera. Might as well just film it,’” he continued.
According to a source, West initiated contact with his costar.
“West reached out to Kyle after the reunion and Kyle had been debating speaking to West one-on-one because the last time Kyle spoke to West was when he confronted him at the reunion,” the insider tells Us.
“West apologized to Kyle,” adds the source of their meeting post-reunion.
“Kyle is upset and taken aback by everything, but is taking the high road because he feels that’s his best revenge,” the insider adds. “He still feels betrayed and hurt so it’s taking him time to process.”
Kyle is “more upset” with West than Amanda, the source points out, noting that he feels like West was “his best friend and just took advantage of Amanda during a vulnerable time with Kyle.”
“Kyle will accept all of it in time and plans on taking the high road because if there’s real love between Amanda and West, he won’t stand in between that,” according to the source.
When it comes to the rest of the cast, OG star Lindsay Hubbard is “debating” whether she wants to have a one-on-one chat with Amanda following the scandal, according to the insider.
“Amanda asked Lindsay if they could have a one-on-one,” the source tells Us.
“She may talk to Amanda again, but it’s going to be very difficult for the cast to be friends with Amanda and West and trust them the same way as they did before,” the insider adds. “So it may mean parting ways for a lot of them.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo for comment.
The cast’s hesitancy to film another season of Summer House comes less than two months after Ciara’s one-time BFF Amanda confirmed on March 31 that she is dating Ciara’s ex-boyfriend and fellow housemate West.
West and Ciara dated in 2023 after meeting in the Hamptons. While their relationship ended in controversy — Ciara claimed West was playing “games” with her after meeting his family and then being dumped shortly after — the exes appeared to be back on good terms in summer 2025.
In fact, West and Ciara’s flirtatious dynamic was captured on camera for season 10 of Summer House, including a makeout session that aired as part of the May 19 finale. (The episode was filmed in August 2025.)
Once cameras stopped rolling, Amanda and estranged husband Kyle called it quits, announcing their split in January. The following month, Amanda and West sparked romance rumors as they were spotted out in New York City in late February and early March.
After West and Amanda confirmed their platonic connection evolved into a romance in March, the couple received backlash from fans and their Summer House costars.
To make matters worse, a source told Us in April that West and Ciara were hooking up as recently as “three to four weeks ago” — and Ciara didn’t know about his relationship with Amanda.
West claimed later that month that there was no “overlap” on his or Amanda’s part, but not everyone is convinced about the timeline.
“At the reunion she wants answers — when it started, how it started, why it started and where it started,” a source told Us in April of Ciara’s goal at the Summer House season 10 reunion, which will air in three parts beginning on Tuesday, May 26. “And if they are truly sorry and if their relationship is real. The only way she can move on from it is if she gets answers.”
A separate insider told Us earlier this month that the rest of the cast was equally as interested in Amanda and West’s timeline — and whether they’d tell the whole truth.
“Everyone wants real, straightforward answers,” the source said on May 5. “But there’s a feeling that parts of the story are still being held back or carefully spun, which has only made tensions worse.”
In a teaser for the reunion, released on May 19, Ciara called out both Amanda and West for their relationship and the betrayal she felt as a result.
“Over the past six years, I have been your f***ing champion,” Ciara told Amanda. “I couldn’t fathom that I would be sitting here pissed that you’re f***ing my ex.”
Ciara then claimed that West wanted to “get the last word” and “embarrass” her, adding, “I hope it works because he’s with you to spite me.”
“I know a lot of people’s feelings are hurt, especially Ciara and Kyle. No s***,” West said on the Monday, May 25, episode of his “Show Me Something” podcast, reflecting on the reunion. “Even though there’s so much gray area up for interpretation, at least with Ciara and I.”
West added that at “the end of summer, we were canoodling again,” noting that he “wasn’t trying to be a boyfriend,” like he told castmate Ben Waddell on the show.
“I think it’s still a shock to the system and people feel betrayed. I’m not trying to convince anyone that their feelings don’t matter,” he concluded.
Part 1 of the Summer House reunion airs on Bravo Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.
