Summer House star KJ Dillard has slammed his co-star West Wilson for hitting on his girlfriend, Dara Levitan, on this week’s episode of the show.
“I must say, hottest outfit this house has seen in a long time,” West said to Dara on Summer House, referring to the bikini and fur coat she wore in the snow for their party.
“West, like, dap me the f*ck up my man,” she responded.
KJ shared the moment on Threads with the swearing-face emoji before issuing his reaction.
“My bros would never hit on my girl behind my back,” he wrote. “Bro code.”
KJ later seemingly called out West again, referencing “snakes in the snow.”
There has been tension within the Summer House cast since West and Amanda Batula confirmed they are in a relationship on March 31.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity. It was never our intention to purposefully hide anything. Given the complicated dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it,” they said in a joint statement at the time.
“We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing that either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care,” the couple continued.
Amanda and West stated they kept quiet about the relationship as their “feelings evolved” because they wanted to “take time to understand exactly what [they] were feeling.”
“We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless,” they elaborated. “We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
In April, KJ took to Threads to share his frustration that West didn’t reach out to him prior to the news going public.
“I’m checking my text messages, but I never received anything,” he said. “The truth hurts, homie, tough love.”
KJ also shared a text he received from West apologizing during a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live.
“West says, ‘I wanted to thank you for your articulation and kindness yesterday despite being hurt. I’ve been off social and I think I lost touch with how much hurt there was. I’m incredibly sorry,'” KJ revealed. “‘Also sending you love in regards to your mental health. You shared a lot yesterday and I know it mightn’t carry much weight now but I’m always rooting for the best for you. I know it will take some time but whenever you feel like you’re ready, lunch or a phone call would mean a lot in the spirit of healing. No need to respond, take your time.'”
