During Part 2 of the “Summer House” reunion, Ciara Miller spoke with host Andy Cohen about her relationship with Amanda Batula and West Wilson, saying that she didn’t believe the pair ever really had her back. While discussing the challenges Miller has faced while dating interracially, the Bravo veteran said that Wilson and Batula’s earlier comments about empathizing with her as a Black woman weren’t authentic.
Miller has been open about the backlash she’s received from the public for being a Black woman who dates white men. During a specific conversation earlier in the season, Miller told Wilson and Batula that she had struggled to cope with the negativity.
She opened up even further about the dynamics of interracial dating with a producer, according to Bravo’s Daily Dish.
“The hardest thing with, like, the me and West situation is that, like, everyone’s always just like ‘Oh, you let a white man play you on national TV.’ And, like, it’s regardless of how we feel about each other; it’s, like, the way that it looks to the entire world. Yeah, I guess if I could help it, I would, but you can’t help who you love. You can’t help, like, who you are attracted to sometimes,” Miller said.
Ciara Miller Doesn’t Believe Wilson And Batula Actually Understood Her While Filming ‘Summer House’
While speaking with Cohen during Part 2 of the reunion, Miller recalled another conversation she had with Wilson and Batula, in which they said they recognized the backlash she had received. When asked whether Miller believed them, she said she did at the time but doesn’t now.
“After watching the season back, I think it’s very clear that Amanda and West were using buzzwords of like, ‘I see you. I hear you,’ to, like, satiate maybe what I needed to hear,” Miller said. “But they didn’t really see or hear me.”
Batula jumped into the conversation, insisting that she had been authentic with Miller over the summer.
“Everything that I’ve said to you over the summer, everything that I’ve felt, everything that we’ve talked about was truly how I felt in those moments,” Batula said. “I got caught up in my feelings, and I… I… It doesn’t matter. Like, this has hurt me a lot, like, for you.”
Ciara Miller Shares When She First Believed Wilson And Batula Were Hooking Up
The first two parts of the “Summer House” reunion have centered heavily on Wilson and Batula’s surprise romance. It’s caused discord within the cast because of Wilson’s previous relationship with Miller. Batula and Miller had also been best friends for six years.
Last week, Miller told Cohen that she believed Wilson and Batula were hooking up after seeing the latter’s location pinned at Wilson’s apartment in New York City.
“I, like, went to call Amanda to invite her out to drinks with me and Mia [Calabrese], and her location was at West’s house,” she said. “And so, I had called, and she didn’t answer. And then [I] texted, and [she] didn’t answer.”
Wilson and Batula confirmed their romance in March 2026 after intense speculation. In their joint statement, the two reality stars said, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
Wilson’s Co-Stars Aren’t Vibing With Him
According to a previous report from The Blast, many of Wilson’s “Summer House” co-stars are furious with him for how he’s treated Miller.
KJ Dillard spoke with fellow cast member Carl Radke about the matter, saying Wilson hasn’t changed his behavior.
“I know people make mistakes. I’m someone that gives grace, trust me,” Dillard said. “I’ve made plenty of mistakes, and people have given me grace, but it just seems like he’s not learning from his mistakes.”

Dillard isn’t the only one with something to say about the matter. On “Watch What Happens Live,” CNN veteran Kaitlan Collins shared a similar message.
“It’s really crazy to watch,” she said. “Just watching it, my main takeaway one, was Ciara Miller is the most graceful and gracious person that I’ve ever seen on television.”
She then shifted her focus to Wilson and Batula, saying that she was shocked by the pair’s “lack of empathy and remorse.”
Part 3 of the “Summer House” reunion continues on Bravo on June 9, 2026.
