While the Summer House season 10 reunion officially came to a close last night, the drama surrounding Amanda Batula and West Wilson‘s relationship is showing no sign of stopping.
Kyle Cooke opened up about feeling “betrayed” by Amanda and West in a new interview that dropped this morning, fresh on the heels of Bravo revealing last night that there would be a bonus Summer House episode where we would see a sit-down between Kyle and West, among other things.
First, for his part, Kyle is moving on, as he was recently linked to Southern Charm star Salley Carson and spotted making out with another random woman by Deuxmoi.

This is the second woman he was spotted kissing recently, as he first kissed one female fan over the weekend during a DJ gig in Dewey Beach.
In his interview with PEOPLE, Kyle opened up about the reunion, saying he felt “betrayed” and “expected to learn more” from Amanda and West, but he found their attitude to be “more defensive than remorseful.”
“Sometimes it doesn’t feel real until I see them together,” Kyle noted of Amanda and West’s relationship. “I considered West a really good friend, and this is just not something I can fathom doing to anybody that’s close to me. We’re a close-knit family, it’s like he’s banging his sister.”
While he claimed he’ll “never really understand what the motives were,” he did point out a reason he thinks West made a go for Amanda.
“I think West is no dummy, I think he realized Amanda’s going to have this big PR moment,” Kyle stated. “I think he realized it last summer. I think that’s part of the reason why he’s pulling his chair up next to Amanda. He’s like, ‘I’m going to be the white knight here and stand up for Amanda because, well, the internet’s going to love her and therefore the internet’s going to love me.'”
In an explosive preview for next week’s bonus episode, West asks Kyle if he wants “full honesty even though it could be hurtful.”
Amanda is also seen sitting down with Lindsay Hubbard for a conversation, insisting West pursued her.
Kyle also asks West if he loves Amanda, and Ciara Miller is seen having a discussion with Meija Moreno, West’s ex. She was brought up at the reunion as he was supposedly in an exclusive relationship with her for months, and he even allegedly sent her flowers on Valentine’s Day 2026.
Kyle spoke out on the bonus episode, revealing, “I finally got him to own up to some things I needed to hear him say.”
Kyle admitted he had to “steer” the conversation at times, and he added that he was “discouraged that he didn’t come prepared to be 100% honest about everything.”
“He was still lying about his girlfriend [Meija] and the reality of his exclusive nature of that relationship, which boggled my mind,” Kyle insisted.
“It was one of those conversations that I was like, ‘I don’t know what we just talked about for two and a half hours.’ I’m not saying we talked in circles, but maybe I was too easy on him,” Kyle concluded.
