“Summer House” cast member West Wilson is reacting to his co-star’s lethal characterization of him during the recent reunion. On an episode of his podcast, Wilson broke his silence on Dara Levitan’s statements about how he allegedly treats women he’s romantically linked to. According to Wilson, hearing Levitan’s comments cut him to the core, and he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about them since.

For those who might’ve missed it, Levitan blasted Wilson during the “Summer House” reunion, stating that the Missouri-native has a tendency to play the women he shows a romantic interest in.
“The biggest pattern in his life is that it is the West show … The biggest concern of his consistently is being well-liked and well-received. And he doesn’t prioritize treating the women he is linked to romantically with the same respect as he does anybody else in his life,” she said.
Levitan added, “I just foresee him for a very long time wanting someone who will mold and fold and fit into his life without excuse or complaint.”
During the reunion, Wilson didn’t have much of a reaction to Levitan’s comments about him. However, on his “Show Me Something” podcast, the sports journalist said that the words hit him harder than it may have appeared.
“Obviously, it hurts a little more to have a friend, like, really f-cking cook you like that in that moment. I’ve thought about it probably every f-cking day since then,” Wilson said to his co-host.
While he believed Levitan’s comments were “valid,” Wilson said hearing his co-star’s thoughts about how he treats women was “a lot to take in.”
According to a previous report from The Blast, Wilson’s friend, KJ Dillard, also criticized him for how he has treated the women in his life.
“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.”
During the reunion, Dillard compared Wilson to his father, with whom he’s said he has had a strained relationship. “My dad was a very womanizing player, and my mom had to deal with so much sh-t,” he said. “So that’s why I am hurting, West. Because I don’t like that sh-t.”
Continuing, Dillard said, “I grew up watching that firsthand, and it destroyed my family. My dad’s a habitual liar. He lies to everyone but then puts on this persona like he’s got everything together, and he makes people feel good.”
Wilson Was In The Hot Seat Due To His Unexpected Relationship With Amanda Batula
The biggest reason Wilson was in the hot seat during the “Summer House” reunion was due to his romance with Amanda Batula. The pair confirmed their relationship in March 2026 after months of speculation. Their connection also came on the heels of Wilson’s attempt to rekindle things with his ex-girlfriend and Batula’s former best friend, Ciara Miller.
Bravo OG Carl Radke wasn’t happy with Wilson’s performance at the reunion, saying the 31-year-old struggled to take responsibility for his role in hurting his friends. “I think a lot of us were hoping to feel the feeling you get when someone actually apologizes and takes accountability,” said Radke. “Especially watching it now, I didn’t feel it, and that’s what’s hard.”
What Will The Cast Look Like For Season 11?
It’ll be interesting to see who is included in the “Summer House” season 11 cast, given reports that Wilson was getting axed from the lineup.
Bravo Vice President of Current Production Josh Brown responded to the rumors, though, saying that the reports were “premature” and false.
“We’re still figuring out the cast. Anything that people are reading—we’re just not there yet,” Brown said, according to a previous report from The Blast.
Brown also shared that casting decisions for “Summer House” usually occur around the end of June, just before the July 4th holiday.
“We’re definitely talking about casting, and we’re obviously talking about next season a lot, but no final decisions have been made yet,” he added.
