Of all the speculation Amanda Batula faced throughout the Summer House Season 10 reunion, the accusation that she cheated on Kyle Cooke with West Wilson was particularly “frustrating” for her to hear.
How to Watch
Summer House airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. Episodes stream next day on Peacock.
During Part 3 of the Summer House reunion, several cast members brought up some specific moments between Amanda and West that, upon watching the season back, might have had romantic undertones. Even host Andy Cohen asked if Amanda had a “crush” on West last summer, but she denied that to be the case.
“I was so caught up and lost in my own marriage and the fallout of it,” Amanda explained. “It’s so easy to watch this through a different lens and see what you guys want to see. But you guys all lived in the house, and that’s not what was happening at all this summer.”

She continued, “Like, that’s what’s so frustrating. I’m not a f–king cheater. I’m not gonna step out on Kyle. I’m not gonna do things that are inappropriate. I’ve been cheated on, I’ve been hurt.”
Amanda Batula and West Wilson respond to “emotional affair” accusations
Upon Amanda making that declaration, Lindsay Hubbard chimed in to clarify, “We’re not talking about, like, hooking up. … We don’t think you guys f–ked over summer.” Ciara Miller, for her part, added, “But I think you guys definitely had, like, an emotional affair.”
Amid more denials from both Amanda and West, Lindsay further opined, “But there’s an emotional connection that was developing.”
That’s when West admitted, “I mean, probably… We definitely became closer throughout the summer. Lindsay, that’s fair to say.” Amanda, meanwhile, tacked on, “But not in a romantic way,” and Mia Calabrese countered, “But that is romantic.”

From there, Lindsay also brought up the moment in Episode 11 when Amanda blasted West for making out with a girl in front of Ciara during the cast’s Las Vegas-themed backyard party in the Hamptons. From Lindsay’s perspective, it seemed, in hindsight, as though Amanda was actually the “jealous” one. She further claimed that Amanda yelling at West had nothing to do with Ciara.
Amanda’s response? “No one felt that way in the moment.”
Amanda Batula and West Wilson shed new light on their relationship timeline amid cheating claims
Throughout all three parts of the reunion, Amanda and West maintained that their relationship turned romantic in late February 2026, which was more than a month after she and Kyle announced their marital separation. The two also insisted that they did not have sex for the first time until after they released a joint statement confirming their romance on March 31.
Still, more questions lingered among the cast who largely remained skeptical of that particular version of Amanda and West’s relationship timeline. So, Andy asked the new couple, “To be clear, were you having an affair this summer?” They responded in unison, “Absolutely not.”
Echoing Amanda’s earlier comment, West elaborated, “I think if you guys thought something weird was going on last summer, it would’ve been flagged.”
Later, Kyle also brought up how he’d received intel that Amanda and West were already together as of Super Bowl LX, which took place on Feb. 8, and their relationship had, indeed, begun in 2025. As he pointed out, the Super Bowl was only two weeks after he and Amanda broke up. “Once and for all, was there any physical activity?” Kyle asked. “I don’t care if it’s an emotional affair, because at this point, that’s subjective, but did you guys ever hook up in 2025?”
“No. F–k no,” West answered, while Amanda added, “On my f–king life, on the dog’s life, no.”
