Given Dara Levitan’s friendship and past romance with West Wilson, the Summer House Season 10 newcomer had a “unique perspective” on his new relationship with Amanda Batula, as Andy Cohen put it. The only problem? Amanda was backstage when Andy asked for Dara’s unfiltered take on the dating scandal during Part 2 of the reunion.
When Amanda eventually returned from her break in filming, the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host informed Amanda that she’d missed Dara “highlighting patterns in West’s dating rituals.” He then asked the newbie if there was anything that she “wanted Amanda to hear” from what she’d already shared with the rest of the group.
“I guess that I would just reiterate to you that the biggest pattern in his life is that it is the West show, and it will always be the West show,” Dara warned Amanda. “And the biggest concern of his, consistently, is being well-liked and well-received. And he doesn’t prioritize treating the women he is linked to romantically with the same respect he does anybody else in his life.”

She continued, “I just foresee him for a very long time wanting someone who will mold and fold and fit into his life without excuse or complaint. Unfortunately, it’s up to you to decide what’s worth breaking, sacrificing, and losing for that kind of person.”
While Amanda only nodded in response, Andy, meanwhile, referenced her estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, while chiming in, “It would be ironic if you went from the Kyle show to the West show.”
What Dara Levitan told ex West Wilson amid Amanda Batula’s reunion break
While Amanda was in her dressing room, Andy had asked Dara to not only weigh in on West’s new relationship, but also to share her prediction for their future. From her position next to boyfriend KJ Dillard at the end of the sofa, Dara addressed West directly.Â
“I’m gonna be honest, West,” she began. “I don’t see you suddenly waking up one day and, like… this is gonna be the relationship that you, like, stand up for and man up for. Like, you like people to think of you as a good guy, but you treat the women that give themselves to you like they’re expendable.”

Andy then gave West the opportunity to respond, and he told Dara, “I understand that. And I, yeah, I agree.”
With that said, the WWHL host announced that he was going to have to “skip through” his questions for Amanda, prompting Ciara Miller to question why she’d yet to return. “This is a very long break,” she remarked. A “worried” Kyle, for his part, added, “I would’ve loved for her to hear what Dara just said.” That’s when Dara assured him, “Don’t worry, I can repeat it.”
How Amanda Batula responded to criticism of her and West Wilson’s relationship
Though Amanda did not have much to say about Dara’s statement on West specifically, she had already addressed another critique of their relationship. Prior to her walk-off, Andy had questioned why Amanda thought dating West would play out differently from what she already knew about his “inability to commit” to Ciara.
“I mean, that’s conversations that West and I have had,” Amanda responded. “Like, we talked about that privately and, like, what this would look like and what this meant, which is the only reason I feel like I’m sitting here next to him right now.”
At the end of the June 2 episode, Amanda told West backstage, “It’s just frustrating. They’re just, like, making me feel really f–king stupid for, like, trusting you. … That’s annoying.”
