Summer House star West Wilson’s podcast, Show Me Something, which he hosts with WNBA star Sophie Cunningham, released a new clip today featuring Wilson’s thoughts on the public’s hatred of his new “connection” with Amanda Batula for the first time. “A lot has happened in a very, very short amount of time, obviously,” he says. “Just trying to take it a day at a time and stay off my phone, but the internet is a very scary place to be. Amanda has taken a big brunt of all this, too, which I just wish, if people had shit to talk, they could deliver it to me. Like, for example, her number got leaked — I don’t know how that happened — and someone messaged her and called her a ‘home-wrecking whore,’ which I found to be, obviously, inappropriate. You can’t talk like that to people. But it’s also not true.”
Wilson and Batula’s new relationship was immediately controversial for a few reasons. First of all, they’re all co-workers and co-stars on Bravo. Second of all, Batula is recently separated from her husband, Kyle Cooke, and Wilson previously dated her best friend, Ciara Miller, who helped Batula through her breakup. Third of all, the timeline was murky, and Wilson wanted to clear that up. “One thing I would like to be very clear about: There was no overlap,” he said, referring to rumors that he cheated on Miller with Batula. “I know there’s a thousand different theories on the internet right now, but that’s one thing that for sure did not happen. Everyone was single … We realized things were maybe a little bit more serious in February, and that’s when this all started, and there’s not a whole lot more to it than that.”
Finally, he revealed he is still in the process of connecting with his castmates and apologizing. “I’ve sent some texts. Haven’t gotten responses from everybody yet, which is to be expected,” he said. “I get it. But that’s the hardest part of this whole situation: My actions have hurt people that I care about. But the reunion’s coming up, and I can give those apologies face-to-face.” Andy Cohen, West Wilson’s future is in your hands.
