Ciara Miller, aged 30, participated in the heated Summer House season 10 reunion alongside her former partner West Wilson and his new girlfriend Amanda Batula, with the first episode airing on Tuesday. The television personality, who recently declared she is 'for sure' done with ex-best friend Batula, joined other cast members including Kyle Cooke and Lindsay Hubbard during the episode.
Romance Controversy
The reunion centred around Wilson's controversial relationship with his castmate Batula. Wilson had previously dated Miller in 2023, and their romance became a major topic of discussion among the cast, including the revelation of the first time Wilson and Batula slept together. Wilson explained that his first kiss with Batula occurred in February after a group brunch with Ben Waddell, Cooke, and Jesse Solomon. Batula added that both she and Wilson waited to have sex until after they released their statement in March, when they went public with their relationship.
'This isn't a sex scandal,' Wilson said during the reunion, with Hubbard interjecting, 'We know you didn't f*** until recently.' Cooke, who was previously married to Batula, hinted at wanting to move on from the drama by saying, 'I'd rather not visualize the sex stuff.'
Marriage Separation
Batula and Cooke announced their separation in January after marrying in 2021. Two months later, in March, Wilson and Batula confirmed their relationship on social media following speculation. They shared a joint statement on Instagram Stories: 'We've seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity.' The pair added that they never planned to purposely hide anything.
Explosive Exchange
During the episode, Batula admitted to her ex-best friend Miller that she lied about spending time with Wilson but later insisted she had done nothing wrong. Miller began to suspect something was happening in January when Batula would not respond to invitations to hang out. 'How many times have I asked you to hang out, have I asked to come over to your house, have I invited you to do stuff, and you act like your f***ing phone doesn't work?' she asked.
The former friends then engaged in a heated exchange, with Miller saying, 'Shut the f*** up, Amanda. You don't want to cross this f***ing bridge with me. You really don't. I don't see your man sticking up for you now, huh?' Miller also presented texts from Batula that showed her denying interactions with Wilson, such as secretly holding his hand. Batula admitted to lying but insisted that 'everything that was happening was PG.' She told Miller she couldn't help her feelings towards Wilson.
'You actually can help it. When you're married, you actually can,' Miller replied, prompting Batula to say, 'I wasn't married anymore, Ciara.' Miller emotionally responded, 'Nobody was saying you had to stay celibate. But there are a million other f***ing guys in New York City, but you chose the one that - and you know how much that f***ed me up... you chose the one guy.' She then called Batula 'a f***ing snake' and added, 'You should honestly just say okay, because you know you are. You move silent but you're f***ing deadly.'
Location Tracking Dispute
Batula acknowledged she should have spoken to Miller first about her feelings for Wilson but later asked her castmates, 'So no one in this world has ever been in a situation like this before?' She added, 'You guys are acting like I had an affair.' Cooke pointed out that Batula had turned off her location, something she had not done in years. 'I didn't want people to know where I was all the time,' she explained, as Hubbard and Mia Calabrese said, 'Because you were with West.' Hubbard continued, 'I would turn it off if I was going to get caught if I was sleeping with my best friend's ex.' However, Batula replied, 'I was not sleeping with West!'
Miller also revealed that Wilson had been dating someone around the time his romance with Batula came to light. 'You lie about who you are. I think you're the most fraudulent person sitting on this couch,' she told her ex. Wilson clarified, 'Not a girlfriend, but I was seeing someone.' At one point, Calabrese questioned Batula, 'So, Amanda, why are you doing this? You went from being married to one of West's side b****es. That's crazy.'
Fan Reactions
Social media users rallied behind Miller on X after the first part of the reunion aired. One user wrote, 'ciara miller i will always be a supporter,' while another typed, 'ONE NATION UNDER CIARA MILLER!' A third said, 'Ciara Miller gives me life,' and another shared, 'CIARA MILLER YOU DID NOT DISAPPOINT! WOW.' Additional comments included 'ciara and lindsay teaming up to wack amanda and west to hell and back again oh summer house reunion you've changed me' and 'Ciara Miller that absolute QUEEN you are!'
Friendship Status
While attending the amfAR Gala Cannes 2026 event last week, Miller revealed the status of her friendship with Batula. She told People that the pair are 'for sure' done following the explosive drama. 'The reunion was quite the day, but we are on to bigger and better and, you know, we can say goodbye to certain things.' She continued, 'I think it will definitely give some clarity. I think it was very cathartic. It's one of those situations that's unfortunate but you know, I'm so excited to move on from this.'
Part two of the season 10 reunion is set to air on June 2, while the third and final part will premiere on June 9.
