West Wilson has confirmed he will not return for season 11 of the reality show Summer House, following the scandal surrounding his secret romance with co-star Amanda Batula. The announcement came in a TikTok video with content creator Lucas Brody, known as SohoBrody, where Wilson stated: “That is true. But in their defence, I don’t think it would have been a fun summer.”
Scandal Dominated Recent Season
The most recent series of the Hayu show was dominated by the controversy over Wilson’s relationship with Batula, which sparked an internet firestorm. The duo caused controversy when they announced they had been secretly dating following Wilson’s split with Batula’s best friend and co-star Ciara Miller. Wilson, who joined Summer House in season eight, has been at the centre of the drama.
Summer House began in 2017 and follows a group of nine friends who share a beach house in Montauk in the Hamptons. The show’s dynamic shifted dramatically when Wilson and Batula revealed their relationship.
Relationship Timeline and Fallout
Wilson and Miller were a couple between 2023 and 2024, while Batula and her estranged husband Kyle Cooke got married in 2021 before splitting in January 2026. On March 31, Batula and Wilson posted a joint statement on their Instagram stories confirming they have been secretly dating. Miller was photographed slumped on a New York pavement looking distressed after the statement was released.
In the TikTok video, Wilson also confirmed he has met Batula’s parents, calling the interaction “lovely” and saying her father, Frank, was “great”. The confirmation of his exit ends speculation about his future on the show, with Wilson acknowledging that his return might not have been enjoyable for anyone involved.
