Andy Cohen promises the Summer House season 10 reunion is one of the “most intense” he’s ever hosted.
“I’ve probably hosted over 100 reunions, maybe 150,” he said in an Instagram story directly after filming, later clarifying that number is likely well into the two hundreds. “This was one of the most intense we’ve ever shot. It was a lot.”
While reality TV fans are used to hearing such platitudes from Cohen, this one rings true for anyone that’s been on the internet since Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirmed their rumored relationship in a joint Instagram statement on March 31.
“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,” they wrote in part. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with deva. As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. 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. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
Bravo fans were floored by the shocking and obvious betrayal of West and Batula’s costar Ciara Miller, who has spent the current season rebuilding trust with her ex-situationship (West) while supporting her friend (Batula) in the dissolution of her marriage to Kyle Cooke. “It’s one thing to experience hurt behind closed doors,” Miller told Glamour in her first sit-down interview about the scandal. “To experience it so publicly is like another layer, and then to have to see what you thought was your life still play out in season 10. It’s a major mindfuck.”
Miller revealed that she was given less than 24 hours’ notice before the statement was released and her last conversation with Batula was “minimal.” But told us she’s saving the rest of that particular story for the reunion. Speaking of, the Summer House season 10 reunion has filmed and was not without its own drama.
Here’s everything we know, from the official seating arrangements to the leaked audio that has everyone spiraling.

“I would love to sit next to Mia [Calabrese] or Lindsay [Hubbard] or Carl [Radke] or KJ [Dillard],” Miller told Glamour before the taping. “But at the same time, I’m not really thinking too much about the seating arrangement because I know that this is a moment for me to stand my own ground wherever I’m sitting.”
What have Amanda and West said about the reunion?
Batula confirmed her attendance in an Instagram Story note on April 10, letting her followers know she”d be “addressing any and all questions honestly and directly there.” Until then she would try to regain a “sense of normalcy” in her day-to-day life.

On April 20, West Wilson addressed the drama on his Show Me Something podcast, noting his intention to offer up “face-to-face” apologies at the reunion and “clear up all of the crazy shit that’s been on the internet” regarding the timeline of his relationship with Batula.
On April 23 the pair were photographed leaving the reunion taping together. Batula walked out wrapped in a blanket, though Lola blankets would like to be excluded from the narrative.
What’s going on with the leaked reunion audio?
After filming wrapped, an audio clip from the reunion was spread across the internet that revealed part of the confrontation between Miller and Batula. Bravo has since put out an Instagram statement promising to launch an investigation into the leak, which could result in kanunî action.
