‘Summer House’ Shocks Fans: West Wilson Out After Viral Scandal

Summer House says goodbye for now to West Wilson — whose romance with fellow cast mate Amanda Batula, the former close friend of his ex Ciara Miller — has left the internet in a whirlwind, beyond the Bravo bubble.

Wilson, 31, who joined the Hamptons-set hit with its eighth season in 2024, won't be returning for the 11th season, series insiders told TMZ. Although a potential cameo remains on the table, according to sources.

New York Daily News has reached out to Bravo for comment.

It was during Wilson’s first season that he was involved with, and gave mixed signals to, fellow housemate Miller, 30, who was the show’s sole Black cast member at the time.

The news comes amid an uptick in Wilson’s star, and infamy, since March, when he and 34-year-old Batula released a joint statement responding to ‘growing online speculation’ about their dynamic.

‘While this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,’ the pair said while confirming their romance. ‘It was never our intention to hide anything. 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.’

Wilson and Batula said that after years platonically supporting each other ‘through all the highs and lows,’ a romantic turn ‘was the last thing either of us expected. … As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling.’

They acknowledged the ‘impact beyond just us’ and said they never intended ‘to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless.’

In the wake of the scandal, Wilson’s cousin, Dakota Sweeney, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of their step-grandmother, Gayle R. Wilson.
