The Summer House drama just refuses to cool down. Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula announced their separation in January 2026 after four years of marriage, and by March, West Wilson confirmed he was casually seeing Amanda, Kyle’s estranged wife and his former friend. If that sounds like a reality TV twist, it only escalates from there.
In May 2026, Kyle confronted West in a filmed conversation for Summer House: The Aftermath, asking point blank whether West would break Amanda’s heart. Kyle later criticized West’s answers as evasive on social media. Then in June, both West and Amanda exited the show ahead of season 11, leaving fans to wonder if it’s a fresh start or the aftermath of the fallout.
The feud reached its messiest point in October when Kyle commented“coke head”under West’s Instagram post, deleted it, and later said his emotions got the better of him while standing by his concerns. West has been clear he doesn’t regret his feelings for Amanda. So what’s the verdict: is dating a friend’s ex fair game, or a betrayal no reality show can smooth over? Let us know what you think in the comments.
