Ciara Miller is over her friendship with Amanda Batula, and she doesn’t care who knows it.
The Summer House cast member, 30, said in a new Harper’s Bazaar interview that she no longer sees Amanda, 34, as someone who showed up for her in the way she showed up for Amanda.
“I was always a friend to her, and she was never a friend to me,” Ciara told the publication. “Everyone’s always there for [Amanda]. She never has to be there for anyone. She is always the damsel in distress, always the victim.”
“In the six years, I don’t think she’s really ever had to be there for me,” she continued. “And not that a friendship is based on reciprocity, but it’s now really clear that there was no type of reciprocity on her side. I tried to hang out outside of filming, check on her, speak life into her.”
The Bravo star said she is finished keeping quiet about things she has seen.
“I’m not going to go back and rehash the past, but everything now moving forward is on the cutting-room floor. Silence is an option. But I know things. I see things. I’m done protecting people by not saying anything.”
She added, “It’s really like a don’t-f–k-with-me era. If you want it, you can get it. Don’t f–k with me.”
Amanda’s romance with West Wilson, Ciara’s ex, was confirmed on Instagram in March.
“It felt like a true break in the friend group,” Ciara explained. “It was so clear that things would never be the same.”
She also said she came away from season 10 with a different understanding of West.
“I didn’t realize how much he hated me,” she said, adding that she now believes he may be dating Amanda as revenge. “He got me good. He can lie, cheat, cover it up, and do it again.”
The nurse/model says she is no longer spending energy on Wilson, saying, “At this point, I already know who he is, so I’m done wasting my breath on him. I’m pretty sure I advanced his visibility.”
