Amanda Batula has given her reason for walking away from“In the City”before Season 2: the internet. In a message to a Bravo fan account, she said the continued hate from fan accounts and the internet is a huge reason she wasn’t ready to film again. It’s a blunt admission from a reality star about what the comment section does to the people on screen.
The exit itself is where things get tangled. Sources have offered wildly different accounts, including a filming disagreement over whether her boyfriend West Wilson could appear, alleged salary demands, and a claim that it was simply the wrong time. Bravo reportedly wanted her back in a limited, part-time capacity. On top of that, Kyle Cooke posted a since-deleted comment blaming Wilson for her exit, and Batula and Wilson went public in March after her separation from Cooke.
Wilson is also reportedly set to join the celebrity cast of Netflix’s“Million Dollar Secret”Season 3, which means this storyline isn’t leaving the timeline anytime soon. Do you think online backlash is a fair reason for a reality star to step back, or should they keep filming through it?
