Amanda Batula Leaving ‘Summer House’ After West Wilson Dating Scandal
Amanda Batula has had enough of the Hamptons.
The longtime Summer House star, who has appeared on with the Bravo show since its first season, will not be on-hand when cameras pick up for the forthcoming 11th season, E! News confirmed.
E! News has reached out to Amanda's rep but did not receive an immediate response.
Amanda's exit is quite a shakeup as her relationship with Kyle Cooke—with whom she confirmed her breakup after four years of marriage in January—has been a major centerpiece of the reality series since it began in 2017. (She joined the cast full-time in season two.)
Of course, in the months since season 10 wrapped, Amanda and costar West Wilson began dating, with the March revelation irreparably fracturing the cast dynamic. As for West, just days before Amanda’s departure was revealed, he confirmed his own exit.
"I wanted to tell it on my own," the sports journalist—who joined Summer House in 2024 during season eight—confessed during the June 24 episode of the Broadcast Boys podcast, "but that is true. But in their defense, I don’t think it would have been a fun summer."
Bravo has yet to confirm which season 10 costars are returning for season 11, however filming typically picks up each year over Fourth of July weekend.
Of course, the biggest question mark remaining is Amanda’s former BFF Ciara Miller, who used to date West prior to their messy 2023 breakup.
During Summer House's recent reunion, Ciara—who has been in Fiji cohosting Love Island USA Aftersun—unleashed on West and Amanda over their betrayal.

"I couldn't fathom that I would be sitting here pissed that you're f--king my ex," the Traitors alum told Amanda during the June 9 episode. "He wants to embarrass me. He wants to get his last little words in. And I hope it works, because he's with you to spite me."
Despite Ciara and more cast members predicting a breakup in the pair's near future, West proved he and Amanda are going strong in spite of the backlash during the show's June 16 Aftermath special.

"I can tell you my relationship with Amanda is the first time I've come from a steady three-year friendship where there's nothing performative about it," he told Kyle. "Nothing's trying to prove anything."
He even confirmed he sees himself in a serious, monogamous relationship with Amanda down the line.
"I regret so many f--king things, but the one thing I cannot regret is my feelings for Amanda and caring for her," West continued. "I can't apologize for it because it happened."
