The fallout from Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s romance is continuing to plague the Summer House cast — and Lindsay Hubbard is still trying to navigate her friendships after the scandal.
“Lindsay is not talking to West or Amanda,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly, noting that West, 31, did “reach out to her” after the season 10 reunion, which filmed last month.
Lindsay, who is an original Summer House cast member, “does not plan on talking to West,” the insider says, adding that she “doesn’t know how she feels about Amanda yet.”
Lindsay met Amanda, 34, during season 1 of the Bravo series, which premiered in 2017, when Amanda was dating now-estranged husband Kyle Cooke. The trio have been friends for about a decade alongside Lindsay’s ex-fiancé, Carl Radke.
When Amanda and West confirmed on March 31 that their friendship had “evolved” into something romantic, it caused a ripple effect within the cast — especially because Amanda and Kyle, 43, had only just announced their split in January. (Kyle and Amanda were married four years.)
Adding to the complicated dynamic was the fact that West previously dated fellow castmate and Amanda’s one-time BFF Ciara Miller in 2023. A source exclusively told Us in April that the exes hooked up as recently as “about three to four weeks ago” and Ciara had no idea West was dating Amanda.
Lindsay, for her part, is “still upset with Amanda about how she handled things with Kyle and how she lied to Ciara,” the insider says, noting that the former publicist “doesn’t know if [those feelings] will be forever.”
As Lindsay sorts out her feelings toward Amanda and West amid the scandal, the source tells Us that viewers will see her unfiltered thoughts about their actions on the season 10 reunion, which premieres on May 19.
“She gave her two cents to West and Amanda at the reunion about how poorly they handled the situation and how they betrayed Ciara,” the source adds.
West and Amanda first sparked romance rumors in late February before they confirmed they were an item in a joint statement shared via Instagram Stories the following month.
The Summer House cast has since started to sound off about the controversial relationship. Kyle broke his silence on April 1 during a three-part TikTok interview, in which he claimed West is far from ready to be settling down.
As the countdown to the Summer House reunion’s airing continues, Lindsay Hubbard has revealed insight into its filming. During a Tuesday, April 28, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Lindsay, 39, reflected on the Thursday, April 23, filming event that reunited the Bravo reality TV series’ cast. Lindsay rehashed to Cohen, 57, […]
“West seems to be the kinda guy playing multiple women at the same time,” Kyle alleged, noting at the time he was worried for Amanda’s “mental health” as she faced alleged “bullying” online.
Ciara, meanwhile, told Glamour on April 17 that she is more hurt by Amanda’s actions than West’s after their years-long friendship.
“At the end of the day, a guy’s a guy. Whether or not West and I are working on a relationship, you just can’t put anything past a man,” she explained. “But I just never would think that it would come from someone like Amanda, who has been what has felt like in my circle and in my corner for so long. I think that’s the craziest part.”
Summer House airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
