Lindsay Hubbard, Amanda Batula, and West Wilson are at the center of the latest “Summer House” drama.
One week after the ScAmanda news broke the internet, sources close to Amanda and West say the couple is not backing down. According to TMZ, sources with direct knowledge confirmed April 8 that West is fully committed to his relationship with Amanda and is focused on being a supportive partner. Amanda, for her part, trusts West and feels confident in their relationship.
The sources pushed back on the playboy narrative that has been building online, calling the speculation “fan assumption and social media narratives” and noting that even West interacting with fans gets twisted into something that it’s not.
Lindsay Hubbard Is Not Here For It
Lindsay has been communicating her position on this situation through a series of very pointed moves, none of which involve a direct statement.
West posted his selfie with Lucas Brody, known for his TikTok whiteboard breakdowns of reality TV drama. When @bravobygays reposted the story, Lindsay commented: “Let’s do a whiteboard on WW and explain everything to you… I’ll lead the charge,” tagging Lucas directly. Fans immediately called it “reunion warmup.”
Around the same time, Lindsay unfollowed West on Instagram. She continues to follow Amanda.
When the TMZ report about Amanda and West going strong made the rounds, Lindsay had another comment ready. After @stephwithdadeets recapped the story on Instagram, Lindsay wrote: “So what I’m learning is that the publicist only knows one media outlet and it’s TMZ?”
Two comments. Two different shades. Both landed. Hard.
Kyle’s Position
Kyle Cooke has been more direct. In an April 1 TikTok with journalist Adam Glyn, he said: “I’m good. I’m actually really worried about Amanda. She’s kind of getting cyber bullied.” But he did not extend the same grace to West. “All I know is West seems to be the kind of guy playing multiple women at the same time,” Kyle said. “And somehow, in all of this, 50,000 people have decided that West deserves their follow.”
In a follow-up video on April 2, Kyle added: “There’s some wild betrayal here. He basically threw his friendship with me away in one clean swoop. What happened to bro code? West is smart enough to know who the audience is, and he knows what to say to women to win them over. Everyone’s like ‘Oh, my God. Look at his redemption arc!’ And he was just piling on strategically, for sure.”
Where Amanda and Kyle Stand
Amanda and Kyle were spotted in New York City on April 4, walking their dogs and hugging in photos obtained by Page Six. Kyle has been consistent: he is worried about Amanda, not angry at her.
The Reunion Looms
Amanda has confirmed she will attend the “Summer House” Season 10 reunion, which films later this month. There has been no confirmation as to whether West has reached out to a single castmate other than Amanda. Lindsay just volunteered to lead a whiteboard breakdown of his entire situation with a TikTok star who has millions of followers.
The reunion is going to be a lot.
“Summer House” Season 10 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo and streams on Peacock.
“In the City” premieres May 19 on Bravo.
