West Wilson shared a wild photo of Amanda Batula on his Instagram Story as they enjoyed a fun weekend with friends.
As their former co-stars and ex-partners, Kyle Cooke, 43, and Ciara Miller, 30, filmed Summer House season 11 in the Hamptons, West, 31, and Amanda, 35, were seen at a bar, where they enjoyed a racy game of pool.
In one photo shared by West, Amanda was seen smiling and holding a pool cue. In another, which was a reshare from a friend, West was seen taking a shot through Amanda’s legs as she did a handstand beside the table.
Around the same time, Amanda posted a photo of West and a couple of friends lying in the grass in a yard.
As Summer House fans have surely heard, it has been confirmed that both West and Amanda will not be featured on the upcoming 11th season, months after they confirmed their romance with an Instagram statement.
In June, TMZ spoke with sources close to the series, who revealed that producers had opted against asking West to return. And days later, an insider told Us Weekly that West’s exit from the show was “a mutual decision between the network and West.”
“There wasn’t a long-term fit anymore,” the source continued. “He is at peace with the decision and is focusing on his podcast and other business ventures.”
West later addressed the matter during an interview with Lucas Brody, saying, “[I] wanted to tell it on my own. But that is true. But in their defense, I don’t think it would have been a fun summer.”
Another insider told Us Weekly that when it came to Amanda, who was “still friendly” with both Kyle and Jesse Solomon, 33, at the time, her future was “still up in the air.” However, by the end of June, her departure from the show was confirmed by TMZ, who also noted that a future cameo was possible.
Summer House season 11 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime later this year or early next year.
