How Amanda Batula is holding up amid West Wilson romance backlash
Kyle Cooke says his ex Amanda Batula is “not well” as she faces backlash for announcing her new romance with her “Summer House” co-star West Wilson.
“I’m actually really worried about Amanda, if I’m being honest,” Cooke told street journalist Adam Glyn in a TikTok video posted on Wednesday, adding that his ex gave him a “heads up” before her big announcement.
“I talked to her last night and I think — I understand people have all sorts of opinions and I’m not justifying any behavior. But, from what I’m seeing, she’s kind of getting cyber bullied and at the end of the day, all I know is, West seems to be the kind of guy playing multiple women at the same time.”
“I just looked and somehow in all of this, 50,000 people have decided that West deserves their follow. And meanwhile, they’re just lighting up Amanda. I just feel bad,” Cooke continued.
“Amanda knows that what she did was wrong, and is trying to come to terms with it. She is not well.”
Page Six could not independently confirm Cooke’s claims regarding his social media following.
After coming forward with the news of her romance with Wilson, Batula became the subject of backlash as Bravo fans quickly took sides in the scandal’s fallout.
She was labeled “a villain, a liar and a treacherous snake” by Barstool Sports creator Dave Portnoy in a scathing Instagram Story rant on Tuesday.
He came to this conclusion after “talking with some chicks in the office and getting some more intel on” the Bravo scandal.
Batula came forward announcing that she and Wilson were romantically involved in a social media statement on Tuesday.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” the announcement read.
“It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
They continued, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
The pair explained that because their “feelings evolved,” they “wanted to take time to understand exactly what [they] were feeling.”
While the reality stars defined their romance as a “connection,” an insider exclusively told Page Six that the Wilson and Batula are in a “full blown relationship.”
“It’s not just a hookup,” our insider shared, noting that the duo’s castmates — including Wilson’s ex Ciara Miller and Cooke — are “pissed” and “disappointed.”
Miller and Batula, whose close friendship has seemed to collapse in light of the relationship news, seemingly took a swipe at her Bravo co-stars on Tuesday night as she interviewed cast members at the Season 2 premiere of AppleTV+ series “Your Friends & Neighbors.”
Miller pointedly captioned the upload, “If you can’t trust your Friends & Neighbors, who can you trust?”
