West Wilson is out at Summer House, and his exit comes just as Bravo is preparing to lock the season 11 cast.
A source close to production told The Hollywood Reporter that West, who joined the series in 2024, will not return after three seasons.
West’s relationship with Amanda Batula became public on March 31, about two months after Amanda and her estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, announced their separation after four years of marriage. The romance rocked fans and shook up the group, in part because West had previously been linked to castmate Ciara Miller, and the pair were also rekindling their romance, which was revealed in the reunion. West was also best friends with Kyle.
Since the controversy happened after season 10 wrapped, Bravo scheduled Summer House: The Aftermath, a bonus episode made up of three sit-down interviews filmed after the reunion, to update viewers on the cast’s current relationships. This episode airs tonight.
Bravo has not yet revealed who will be back when filming begins in early July.
Josh Brown, Bravo’s VP of current production, told THR the series is not headed for a full reset.
“We do not feel like this is a reboot situation at all. We feel like this is evolving. It’s interesting that we’re not talking about this past season where we had five new cast members on. We didn’t feel like that was a reboot, either. We felt that was evolving,” he said. “It really comes down to what the show is, which is obviously about a summer share in the Hamptons, and in real life, every summer, there might be a core group but the group does evolve in real life share houses. So these things evolve. We can’t say exactly how many people are returning or exactly how many new cast members are joining, but there’s always new people to freshen the dynamic and we were planning for that before any of this scandal hit.”
