West Wilson Has Addressed His Summer House Exit
GettyIt was reported on June 15 that Wilson would not be returning for “Summer House” season 11. An insider told Us Weekly, “West isn’t coming back. He could still make an appearance on ‘Summer House’ or [Amanda’s spinoff show] ‘In the City’ in the future, especially if things with Amanda progress, but he’s not a cast member this season.”
Wilson later broke his silence on the “Broadcast Boys” podcast. He said, “I wanted to tell it on my own, but that is true.” Wilson then said, “But in their defense, I don’t think it would have been a fun summer.”
Wilson left “Summer House” after he joined the hit Bravo series in 2024 for its eighth season. Regarding the scandal, he and Batula confirmed in a March 2026 statement that they were romantically involved. As mentioned, this is despite her close friendship with “Summer House” costar Ciara Miller, who was previously involved with Wilson.
