Ciara Miller offers candid two-word response to fans urging her to be the next Bachelorette

Ciara Miller has delivered an emphatic response to fans begging for her to lead the next season of The Bachelorette.

The Summer House star, 30, who is currently embroiled in a friendship fallout with co-star Amanda Batula over her relationship with Miller’s ex-boyfriend, West Wilson, was speaking in a new interview about her love life.

“I’m so happy being single,” she said in her Glamour cover story. “Honestly, I can’t imagine anyone being in my apartment. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to be single.”

When the interviewer mentioned that some fans had been urging The Bachelorette to cast Miller, the reality star replied: “F*** no,” before adding, “I’m way too private.”

Miller’s cutting response comes a month after the recent season of the hit ABC dating series, featuring fellow TV personality Taylor Frankie Paul, was axed.

The monumental and costly decision came after a violent video of the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star’s 2023 assault involving her ex, Dakota Mortensen, was just released just days before the season premiere.

Both Paul and Mortensen released statements regarding the leaked footage. Paul has since been accused by Mortensen of two more instances of domestic assault. However, in a new update, the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office determined there is not enough evidence to file criminal charges against Paul for the alleged 2024 and February 2026 incidents.

Miller’s love life has been highlighted on Summer House, including relationships with fellow Bravo star Austen Kroll, whom she dated before becoming romantically involved with Wilson.

Elsewhere in the Glamour interview, Miller addressed the “craziest part” of Batula and Wilson’s controversial relationship.

Asked if she felt more betrayed by Wilson or Batula, Miller said: “At the end of the day, a guy’s a guy. Whether or not West and I are working on a relationship, you just can’t put anything past a man.

“But I just never would think that it would come from someone like Amanda, who has been what has felt like in my circle and in my corner for so long. I think that’s the craziest part.”

Batula and Wilson confirmed their relationship weeks ago in a joint Instagram statement. “As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling,” they wrote. “We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless.”

Miller addressed the scandalous news in a pointed message on her Instagram Story at the time, promoting Apple TV’s Your Friends and Neighbors.

“If you can’t trust your Friends & Neighbors, who can you trust? Season 2 premieres Friday on @appletv #AppleTVPartner,” she wrote.
