Amanda Batula is exiting “Summer House” after her boyfriend West Wilson was ousted from Season 11, Page Six can confirm.
Sources close to production told us Batula is not expected to be a part of the new season when filming begins on the Fourth of July weekend.
TMZ was the first to report the news.
Earlier this month, TMZ reported that Wilson “was not picked up” for the next season, though insiders noted that he could return for a cameo.
Wilson later confirmed his exit on the “Broadcast Boys” podcast, noting Bravo made the right decision because he didn’t “think it would have been a fun summer.”
The decision was made following Batula and Wilson’s romance scandalwhich shocked their co-stars and fans alike.
Batula has been on the Bravo show since its first season, though she didn’t become a main cast member until Season 2.
Viewers watched the rise and fall of her relationship with now-estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, as the pair who started as a casual fling ended up getting married during the Season 6 finale.
During Season 10, however, their relationship began to crumble and the pair announced their separation in January.
Two months later, Batula confirmed her secret relationship with Wilson — who joined the cast for Season 8.
The duo had kept it a secret from their entire “Summer House” crew — including Cooke and Ciara Miller, Batula’s former best friend who previously dated Wilson.
As a result, Batula faced heavy backlash from fans and Cooke even voiced his concern for her mental health.
The couple also faced heavy questioning during the three-part Season 10 reunion from their co-stars who poked holes in their relationship timeline.
Batula and Wilson still seem to be going strong, though. They took a trip to Italy as the reunion aired, and flaunted their relationship throughout the getaway.
