You’ll want to grab your Loverboys for this one. Just when we think the Summer House drama can’t get more shocking, another episode drops and we’re proven wrong all over again.
Tonight’s episode of Summer House brings the cast back to the Hamptons for one final weekend in the summer, meaning we’re not only getting closer to the highly anticipated reunion showdown, but we’re also getting closer to the premiere of In the City, which recently picked up cameras to capture the fallout of Amanda Batula and West Wilson‘s shock romance.
Like every episode that’s aired since March 31 (when Batula and Wilson released their joint statement confirming they were dating), this one had us viewing the relationship dynamics within the cast with jaws agape, minds blown, and heads shaking in disapproval. Was it as bad as a married Batula cheekily telling Wilson to watch her butt as she walked away in the April 14 episode? In a way, yes. Not only did the conversations in tonight’s episode fuel fire to theories that Batula was feeling Wilson romantically since last summer (and only pretending to be concerned for Ciara Miller‘s heart so she could keep him for herself), but it also just proves that, all along, Batula has been a major hypocrite.
Ever since Wilson and Miller—who briefly dated during Summer House Season 8—made amends and agreed to be friends again, Batula has been cautious of their rekindled relationship. While sitting on the beach with Mia Calabrese in tonight’s episode, she complained about the former couple going on a double date with Ben Waddell and his girlfriend, Sabrina Belle, following Carl Radke’s Soft Bar launch.
“The last thing I would ever do is invite Ciara and West out on an intimate date. They just became friends,” Batula said in disbelief. She continued venting, seemingly trying to convince herself that she would be thrilled if Wilson and Miller sparked up another romance. “Even if they got back together, [I’d be] happy. Literally, would make me the happiest person in the whole entire world. The happiest. But he needs to be fucking ready. It’s him.”
She added, “I’m skeptical, I’m wary of him.”
Batula shared her so-called concerns for Miller, vowing to end her friendship with Wilson should he ever hurt the model again.
“Ciara is a very special and incredible person, and you need to treat her differently than any other woman in the world,” Batula proclaimed. “Until a man is capable of doing that, I don’t trust anyone with her heart. I would die for that girl. The way I’d cut West off in one fucking second if she looked at me. If she gave me one look, I’d be like, attack.”
This, of course, is beyond hypocritical of Batula, given the fact that she herself began an illicit love affair with Wilson almost immediately after announcing her separation from Kyle Cooke in January (maybe even sooner, if you ask some). It wasn’t until rumors began circulating online, and there was talk of an alleged video of Batula and Wilson being intimate through his apartment window that she finally decided to come clean to Miller, the person she once called her best friend.
Luckily for Miller, she has a team of supporters on her cast who went to bat for her the same way Batula said she would not even a year ago—and it’s only a matter of time before we’ll see it all unfold at the reunion.
In the meantime, Summer House Season 10 airs on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
