Did West Wilson Hook Up With Ciara Miller Right Before Amanda Batula? Source Says...
Amanda Batula and West Wilson are taking their fling to the city.
The Summer House costars shared a brief yet eyebrow-raising moment in the April 7 trailer for Bravo spinoff series In the City.
"Hey, cutie," Amanda—who confirmed in March that she and West are dating following her split from husband Kyle Cooke—told West in the preview, to which he replied, "Hey, Mandy."
Cue the friendly hug. Or was it more than that?
Meanwhile, the teaser also featured the real-time demise of Amanda and Kyle's marriage
"Who was in our apartment last night while I’m asleep?” the 34-year-old asked Kyle. “Do you know how many times you’ve cheated on me?”
The tension came to a head when Kyle and Amanda sit down for a tense talk about their future, particularly debating the fact that they don't have a prenup.
When she warned, “If you come for me, I’ll come for you," the 43-year-old replied, “That would be a losing battle."
The chat ended with Amanda asking, “Are you threatening me?”
The drama only adds on to the mess the cast is already living through. After all, Amanda went public March 31 with her relationship with West, a.k.a her best friend Ciara Miller’s ex.
"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,” the pair wrote in a joint Instagram statement. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care."
And while the couple "never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless," Kyle was not happy.

"There's some wild betrayal here," the Loverboy founder told journalist Adam Glyn in an April 2 TikTok video. "He basically threw his friendship with me away in one clean swoop. What happened to bro code?"
