Summer House's Ciara Reacts to Cast Taking Sides in Amanda and West Drama

The Summer House cast has been divided over Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s romance reveal, and costar Ciara Miller has a theory why.

“I think some people are clearly [taking sides],” Ciara, 30, told Glamour reporter Hunter Harris in an outtake from her Friday, April 17, magazine profile shared via Substack. “But, at the same time, I feel like we have also so many new dynamics in the group. I’m not expecting anyone to take sides.”

She continued, “Honestly, I’m not asking that of anyone. But I think they really know me, and they know how I move, and so I think that this is maybe more of a barometer of maybe why … I don’t know if I’m saying this right, but they’ve watched the whole story unfold in person. I think everyone feels a little bamboozled at this point in time.”

Ciara, West, 31, and Amanda, 34, were all among the Summer House season 10 housemates last year, which is currently airing on Bravo. At the time, West mulled reconciling with ex Ciara while Amanda faced marital issues with Kyle Cooke. Amanda and Kyle, 43, announced their separation in January, three months before she confirmed her connection with West.

Where Ciara Miller Stands With Amanda Batula After Breaking Her Trust With West Wilson Romance

Ciara Miller is still sorting through her feelings after longtime friend Amanda Batula started seeing her ex-boyfriend, and their Summer House costar, West Wilson, earlier this spring. “Ciara has told friends that if they really are in love, she will accept it,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly, noting that if West, 31, and Amanda, […]

“We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected,” Amanda and West wrote in a joint statement on March 31. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

West and Amanda’s big reveal shocked Ciara, who was spotted crying outside Hermès within minutes of the statement’s publication, and their costars. Most of the Bravo cast has since weighed in, picking sides about which friend was in the right. (Amanda and Ciara were once close friends, while West reportedly hooked up with Ciara earlier this year.)

“I’m not telling anyone to take sides, but if they’re taking a side, it’s probably because they’re also very confused and feel like they were led astray,” Ciara told Harris in her first public comments on the scandal. “I feel like there’s been a lot of lying on both sides between Amanda and West. They’ve both lied publicly to my face, to everyone else’s face, so it’s like, ‘Why?’”
