West Wilson breaks silence on Summer House exit

The cast of Summer House (Hayu/PA) -

West Wilson has confirmed he will not return for season 11 of reality show Summer House.

The most recent series of the Hayu show was dominated by the scandal surrounding his romance with co-star Amanda Batula, which sparked an internet firestorm.

The duo caused controversy when they announced they had been secretly dating following Wilson’s split with Batula’s best friend and co-star Ciara Miller.

Summer House began in 2017 and follows a group of nine friends who share a beach house in Montauk in the Hamptons.

Appearing in a TikTok video with content creator Lucas Brody, known as SohoBrody, Wilson was asked if it is true he will not be returning for another series of the hit show.

He said: “That is true. But in their defence, I don’t think it would have been a fun summer.”

Wilson, who joined Summer House in season eight, has been at the centre of the controversy over his relationship with Batula, who is still married to her estranged husband and co-star Kyle Cooke.

Wilson and Miller were a couple between 2023 and 2024, and Batula and Cooke got married in 2021 before splitting in January 2026.

On March 31, Batula and Wilson posted a joint statement on their Instagram stories to confirm they have been secretly dating.

Miller was photographed slumped on a New York pavement looking distressed after the statement was released.

In the TikTok video Wilson also confirmed he has met Batula’s parents, calling the interaction “lovely” and saying her father, Frank, was “great”.
