When your estranged wife’s new boyfriend’s private photos end up all over the internet, most people would probably just stay quiet. Kyle Cooke, 43, is not most people.

During a street interview with journalist Adam Glyn on Thursday, May 7, the Summer House personality didn’t hold back about West Wilson’s leaked nudes. Cooke revealed he received the photos the night before the Season 10 reunion—and that Wilson, 31, found out about them mere minutes before walking on stage. Talk about terrible timing.“I think he found out about it at the reunion. He had a rough 24 hours,”Cooke said.

But here’s where Cooke’s commentary got spicy. Instead of offering sympathy, he delivered a joke that landed hard:“It was not a pic I’d be passing around. I think he said it was leaked, but I’m like,‘You’d have to leak it.'”Then came the kicker—Cooke suggested Wilson“get a little blood flow going”before taking nudes next time. Fans in the comments section ate it up, with one writing,“The blood flow comment made me cackle…he’s so hot and charming.”

For context, the situation is already messy. Wilson is currently dating Amanda Batula—Cooke’s estranged wife—which has divided Bravo fans, especially since Wilson previously dated Batula’s best friend Ciara Miller. The love triangle (or whatever you want to call it) has become tabloid gold.

Wilson himself addressed the leaks on his“Show Me Something”podcast on Tuesday, May 5, taking a lighthearted but defensive approach. He called the photos“medical”and noted they were taken years ago when he had a sauna by his bathroom. He claimed his Instagram and Facebook accounts were hacked the morning of the reunion—the same morning the nudes surfaced—and joked that maybe he could land a“Manscaped partnership down the road.”His closing message was serious, though:“Don’t leak people’s nudes or hack people’s s***. It’s not fun.”

What’s striking is how differently the two handled it. Cooke went for laughs and zingers; Wilson went for damage control mixed with humor. Both approaches probably work, depending on your audience. But one thing’s certain: Summer House Season 10 is shaping up to be the kind of messy television that keeps people watching. And apparently, that mess now extends far beyond the house itself.
