The Hamptons may be cooling down, but the drama is just heating up. Despite mounting internet speculation that she might skip the Season 10 sit-down, sources have confirmed that Amanda Batula will be at the Summer House reunion. The reality star is reportedly ready to address the “Scandoval-level” controversy surrounding her new relationship with West Wilson the ex-partner of her close friend and castmate, Ciara Miller.
The reunion, expected to film in mid-April 2026, follows a whirlwind week of headlines. On Tuesday, March 31, Amanda and West officially went public with their romance via a joint Instagram statement, confirming that their “longstanding friendship” had evolved into something more.
The reason many fans doubted Amanda’s attendance is the sheer intensity of the “friend-code” breach. Amanda Batula will be at the Summer House reunion to answer for allegations that her romance with West began while she was still navigating her separation from estranged husband Kyle Cooke.
The situation turned “messy” when reports surfaced that Ciara Miller allegedly discovered the relationship through a video of the pair in an intimate act. While sources close to Amanda claim she intended to “sort out her feelings” before speaking to Ciara, the viral nature of the news beat her to the punch. Ciara has since unfollowed both Amanda and West, with several castmates, including Lindsay Hubbard, publicly siding with Miller.
Production sources indicate that Bravo “picked up cameras” late in the season to capture the immediate fallout of this betrayal. This ensures that when the cast gathers for the reunion, the tension will be at an all-time high. Host Andy Cohen is expected to grill the pair on their timeline, specifically addressing rumors that the “affair” began as early as summer 2025.
Head coach of the household, Kyle Cooke, has also weighed in, expressing concern for Amanda’s mental health amid what he describes as “cyberbullying.” Despite his worries, Amanda is reportedly “taking it day by day” and feels she owes it to the viewers and her castmates to show up and tell her side of the story.
With the Season 10 reunion looming, the future of the franchise remains uncertain. Rumors suggest that the fallout was so severe that production considered a complete cast reboot. For now, all eyes are on the April taping. Whether Amanda can salvage her friendship with Ciara or if this “Bichota” move marks a permanent shift in the house dynamics remains the biggest question of the 2026 reality TV season.
