Kyle Cooke aired his and estranged wife Amanda Batula’s dirty laundry on Summer House months before their split made headlines.
“There are so many things that Amanda and I need to talk about,” Kyle, 43, told pals West Wilson and Jesse Solomon during the Tuesday, February 10, episode of the Bravo series.
Fans previously saw Kyle yell at Amanda, 34, during the season 10 premiere after she allegedly went naked in the pool at the Hamptons house— even though she was wearing a bra. (Kyle was also in the pool at the time.)
When asked in Tuesday’s episode about why he was being “spicy” toward Amanda and seemingly getting “jealous,” Kyle confessed there was more to his frustrations than meets the eye.
“I shouldn’t say this, but she acted like — the last two years, she smokes weed every night,” Kyle claimed.
West, 31, was surprised by Kyle’s allegations, asking, “She what? Passes out?”
When Kyle confirmed that Amanda often went to bed early, West asked, “When do you f***?” Kyle made a face and replied, “Good question,” implying they were not having sex.
West continued to inquire about Kyle and Amanda’s sex life, wondering if it’s “never” happening or “just less than you’d like?”
Kyle insinuated that he and Amanda were not intimate at all, saying, “If she smokes weed every single night …”
West filled in the blanks, asking, “You aren’t f***ing?” to which Kyle opened his eyes wide, seemingly confirming West’s assumptions. “No? OK,” West replied.
Kyle continued to vent about his and Amanda’s relationship, telling the boys, “My apartment smells like a frat house and it looks like a frat house because she’s chaotically living.”
He claimed he “can’t even hire a cleaning company because there’s too much s***,” comparing his and Amanda’s apartment to an episode of Hoarders.
Kyle alleged that it got so bad that he “begged” Amanda’s mom to “come into the city and help,” which she did about one year prior.
As Kyle was complaining about Amanda, she walked up to the group from where she was standing with the other girls and everyone went quiet.
“Now I feel bad,” Kyle said under his breath.
Newbie KJ Dillard raised eyebrows, telling Kyle, “We’re here for you, man,” which caused Amanda to do a double take.
“What the f***? What is going on? Kyle,” Amanda asked, visibly upset. “Someone say it. I’m going to find out one way or the other.”
When Kyle struggled to find the words, Amanda quipped, “Cat got your tongue? You got a lot to say to everyone else.”
Kyle took a beat before telling his wife, “I just feel like you’re very disinterested in me and us.” He then claimed, “You haven’t asked a question in years.”
Amanda claimed that Kyle was guilty of overexaggerating. “I want companionship and friendship and I don’t get that. You don’t give me anything,” he responded, which Amanda argued was “not true.”
Amanda pointed out that it made her “uncomfortable” that Kyle chose to tell “everyone” how he feels except for her and said it proved that they were not communicating.
“I don’t know what else to do. I’m putting up smoke signals, like, I’m like, ‘Help!’” Kyle said.
Amanda told him they would “talk about this later,” upsetting Kyle and forcing him to walk out of the bar.
The argument between Kyle and Amanda was one of many they had during Tuesday’s episode, which was filmed in summer 2025. The couple, who were married for four years, announced their split in January.
Kyle confessed to pal Carl Radke on Tuesday that he felt “embarrassed” by his behavior and “ashamed” he told some of the new housemates about his and Amanda’s problems. He also expressed concerns about his marriage.
“I get that I work a lot, but when I do make an effort with Amanda, I don’t feel like it’s reciprocated,” Kyle said, claiming that the couple were “not on the brink of collapse” despite their arguments.
The episode ended with another fight between Kyle and Amanda while he was trying to apologize to the group during dinner.
“What I was trying to say is, out of respect for my marriage and my wife, I apologize for kinda airing some dirty laundry. And letting some of my emotions get the best of me,” Kyle said after Ciara Miller was caught laughing about his apology to Amanda across the table.
Amanda chimed in, saying, “I feel like this apology should’ve been given to me directly.”
Kyle claimed he already said “sorry” to his spouse when they left the Hamptons to go back to New York City the weekend before.
“OK. It doesn’t need to be given to the whole table,” Amanda continued, which hurt Kyle’s feelings.
He explained that he wanted to speak to everyone because “it would be great if people were a little respectful at times” before calling out Ciara, 30, for interrupting him earlier.
“Kyle, don’t do that to Ciara,” Amanda told him, defending her friend.
When Kyle pointed out that Ciara was “laughing at me,” Amanda replied, “OK. So was I,” causing him to get even more upset and storm off into the house.
Summer House airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
