Southern Charm’s Salley Carson is opening up about her dynamic with Amanda Batula after being spotted kissing the Summer House star’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke.
“My issue with Amanda is — I had kissed Kyle in New York and Amanda asked them about it, and this is like after they’re separated, whatever,” Salley, 31, said on the Thursday, July 16, episode of iHeartRadio’s “Two T’s In a Pod” podcast, sharing that this occurred after the reunion. “And then she found it and she kind of was like, ‘Be careful, she’s got a reputation.’ … When she’s saying that about me, she’s already f***ing West [Wilson].”
When cohost Tamra Judge asked what Amanda, 34, was referring to by saying Salley had a “reputation,” the Southern Charm star replied, “Just how I was being perceived on the show, I guess, and my edit.”
“Let’s talk about how she’s being perceived on the show right now,” Tamra, 58, added, referring to Amanda’s romance with Kyle’s friend and former Summer House costar West, 31. “You can’t throw that at people.”
Salley replied, “That’s what I’m saying. You of all people should understand what reality TV is like. You don’t really judge someone for their edit necessarily, unless you really know them and they deserved it. The audacity that she had to say that about me when she knew what she was doing that behind closed doors.”
Kyle, 43, and Amanda shared in January that they were separating after four years of marriage together. After their split, rumors began swirling that Amanda was pursuing a romance with former friend Ciara Miller’s ex West — which the pair confirmed in March. The dynamic between the group was addressed on the show’s explosive three-part (and bonus episode) season 10 reunion, which ended in June.
Kyle has since been spotted packing on the PDA with Real Housewives of Orange County alum Meghan King. In June, sources also told Us Weekly that Kyle and Salley were “hooking up.” Kyle has also been linked to Next Gen NYC star Ava Dash.
Kyle Cooke and Salley Carson are “hooking up,” multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly. “It’s new and casual, but he’s really into her and they’ve been having fun,” one source exclusively tells Us. “They’ve only hung out a few times but get along really well. They have a lot of chemistry.” A second insider further […]
In a preview for Summer House spinoff In the City earlier this month, Amanda was seen suggesting that she and Kyle go on a double-date.
“Maybe me, you, West and Salley can all get dinner together,” Amanda suggested to Kyle while making a cheeky face. Kyle, for his part, did not say a word in the preview but appeared uncomfortable with the idea.
