Kyle Cooke has accused West Wilson of blowing up Amanda Batula’s “life and career” following her exit from “In the City.”
The “Summer House” veteran left a scathing message under Wilson’s latest Instagram photo dump, which was screen-grabbed by Bravo and Cocktails before it was erased.
“More like [you’re] a coke head that blew my ex’s life and career up,” Cooke, 44, wrote in the since-deleted comment.
Page Six can confirm that Cooke posted the comment at 6:51 a.m. this morning. It is unclear whether he or Wilson deleted it.
Reps for Cooke, Batula, Wilson and Bravo did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Cooke’s biting comment comes less than 24 hours after Page Six learned that Batula will not be returning to the “Summer House” spinoff, “In the City,” for Season 2.
One source told us that Bravo wanted Batula to return to the show’s sophomore season in a more limited, part-time capacity.
However, the source claimed Batula, 35, turned down the opportunity because the network would not allow her to film with her boyfriend, Wilson, 31.
A second source denied that, claiming it’s simply not the right time for either of them to appear on the show.
A third source, meanwhile, alleged that the network was not willing to meet Batula’s high salary demands.
In January, ahead of the “Summer House” Season 10 premiere, Batula and Cooke announced their separation after four years of marriage — and more than a decade together.
Just two months later, she and Wilson turned the Bravo universe on its side when they admitted to their secret romance in a head-turning joint statement, costing Batula her longtime friendship with “Summer House” co-star Ciara Miller, who previously dated Wilson.
The scandal was addressed at the “Summer House” Season 10 reunion, with Miller referring to Batula as a “snake in the grass.”
Bravo picked up cameras for both “In the City” and a surprise bonus episode of “Summer House” to film the fallout of their shocking admission.
Wilson was subsequently fired from “Summer House” Season 11, and Page Six later confirmed that Batula had also left the series.
While the disgraced couple may be out at Bravo, Wilson doesn’t seem ready to give up his TV career just yet.
In September, Deadline reported that Wilson will be joining the celebrity cast of Netflix’s “Million Dollar Secret” Season 3, along with Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, “Love Island USA” star Chelley Bissainthe and “Selling Sunset” star Christine Quinn.
As for “In the City” Season 2, original cast members Cooke and Lindsay Hubbard have already begun filming, along with two new couples and one single newbie.
Danielle Olivera and her boyfriend, Eoin Heavey, and Andrea Denver and his wife, Lexi Sundin, were not asked back, according to our source.
