West Wilson is getting dragged online after speaking publicly for the first time about his relationship with Amanda Batula.
During the April 20 episode of his Show Me Something podcast, the Summer House star addressed speculation that his romance with Batula began while he was still involved with her close friend, Ciara Miller.
“There was no overlap,” West, 31, said. “I know there’s a thousand different theories on the internet right now, but that is one thing that for sure did not happen. Everyone was single.” He also said that he and Amanda, 34, realized their relationship had become more serious earlier this year.

“We realized things were maybe a little bit serious in February,” he said.
According to West, Amanda has been dealing with much of the criticism surrounding the relationship. He said her phone number was leaked and that she has been receiving hateful messages.
“The hardest part I think with this whole situation is, you know, my actions have hurt people that I care about,” he said.
The reality star also said he plans to address the situation further during the upcoming Summer House reunion. Fans are questioning West’s timeline as Amanda only announced her separation from her husband, Kyle Cooke, in January. Social media has been flooded with reports and evidence seemingly suggesting that the relationship could have started as early as last June, but these reports have not been confirmed by the new couple.

West and Amanda both star on Bravo’s Summer House, alongside Ciara Miller, who recently spoke about the fallout.
“It’s a major mindf–k,” Miller told Glamour in an interview published April 17. “What’s done in the dark always comes to light.”
@YoitsRosie I do wish Sophie would hire another podcast partner than West Wilson who is a scumbag.

I think what West and Amanda fail to realize is that the Bravo fans are investigators. Receipts, proof, timeline, screenshots, the whole deal. If you’re going to lie, those lies better be ironclad. Not whatever bs they’re putting out right now #SummerHouse

I feel like people might be expecting Ciara to rip into West and Amanda at the reunion, but I’m so tired of her having to explain decency to that trash man. & Amanda’s behavior is so blatantly weird it doesn’t even deserve the energy #SummerHouse

I just can’t get over how west just told us to put the heat on him then told us that Amanda number was leak and people called her a home wrecking whore … which puts more heat on Amanda because people will run with that, we didn’t need to know that #summerhouse pic.twitter.com/ImHrZxq55w
