Kyle Cooke Calls West Wilson Betrayal After Reunion

Published 18 June 2026

Kyle Cooke, a star of Bravo's "Summer House," has publicly addressed the fallout from his estranged wife Amanda Batula's relationship with their castmate and his former friend, West Wilson. In a recent interview, Cooke described the situation as a profound personal betrayal, using stark language to convey his sense of violation within their social circle.

Cooke and Batula announced their separation in January after four years of marriage. Two months later, in March, Batula confirmed she was in a relationship with Wilson, who had previously dated her close friend and fellow cast member Ciara Miller. The revelation fractured relationships within the show's tight-knit group, leading to a tense, three-part reunion that aired in late May and early June.

Reflecting on the dynamic, Cooke told People magazine that he previously considered Wilson a good friend and cannot fathom his actions. He likened the situation to a familial breach, stating it was like Wilson was "banging his sister." Cooke expressed ongoing confusion about the motives behind the relationship, suggesting Wilson may have seen a strategic opportunity to gain public favor by aligning with Batula during a difficult time.
