Much like viewers, Ciara Miller watched Summer House Season 10 through a new lens after Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirmed their post-filming relationship. During Part 2 of the reunion, Ciara revealed how, in hindsight, she had clocked one specific aspect of their behavior that wasn’t even directly related to the new couple’s controversial romance.
After she revisited her candid discussion about interracial dating and the unique experience of filming the show as Black woman, host Andy Cohen pointed out that West had told her during that dinner that he “sees [her] way more now” than he did in the past. “Did you believe him then?” Andy asked, prompting Ciara to reply, “Then? Perhaps.”
That, of course, begged the question of whether or not Ciara believes West now, and, without hesitation, she answered, “No.”

“After watching the season back, I think it’s very clear that Amanda and West were using buzzwords of like, ‘I see you. I hear you,’ to, like, satiate maybe what I needed to hear,” Ciara elaborated. “But they didn’t really see or hear me.”
How Amanda Batula responded to Ciara Miller’s claim about her and West Wilson
With that said, Andy asked if they had “any response,” at which point Amanda spoke up, while West remained silent on the matter.
“Everything that I’ve said to you over the summer, everything that I’ve felt, everything that we’ve talked about was truly how I felt in those moments,” Amanda insisted. “I got caught up in my feelings, and I— I— It doesn’t matter. Like, this has hurt me a lot, like, for you.”
Ciara, meanwhile, retorted, “It really hasn’t. You’ve literally been out. You guys have been out. You’ve been functioning. You’ve been fine.”

She added, “But also, at the same time, Amanda, I think that that’s insane ’cause you’ve literally been in the bed with me for the past six f–king years. And, like, this is where we’re at?”
Ciara Miller revealed when she first suspected Amanda Batula and West Wilson were dating
Previously, during Part 1 of the Summer House reunion, the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host had also addressed the timeline of Amanda and West’s relationship. “Ciara, when and why did you first suspect that something was going on between West and Amanda?” he asked.
That’s when Ciara revealed that her suspicions began on Jan. 17, before going on to detail about exactly what happened on that date. “I, like, went to call Amanda to invite her out to drinks with me and Mia [Calabrese], and her location was at West’s house,” Ciara recalled. “And so, I had called, and she didn’t answer. And then [I] texted, and [she] didn’t answer.”
Ciara eventually heard back from her roughly 30 minutes later, but only after she asked Mia to send a group text to “see if [Amanda] would respond” that way. “I was like, hm, that’s weird. Why would she be at West’s house?”
Regardless, Amanda and West both maintained that they started dating in late February, and they had simply been “hanging out” as friends on the specific day Ciara mentioned. Even so, Amanda and West confessed later that they had “100 percent lied” to Ciara and others when they denied their romantic involvement, both in public statements and in private text messages, after that date.
Before the reunion kicked off, Ciara explained to Andy backstage that she felt “more betrayed” by Amanda than West amid those false denials. “I mean, I’m shocked by West, but I’m also really hurt by Amanda,” she shared.
