Kyle Cooke said “Summer House” may be in “jeopardy,” as Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s romance is affecting the “whole friend group.”
“It’s not just me, Amanda, West — it’s our whole friend group,” he told street journalist Adam Glyn in a TikTok video posted Wednesday, adding that their castmate Carl Radke “is a mess” over of the situation.
“It really does put into jeopardy what the show’s about. You can’t shoot ‘Summer House’ if the vibes are off. We’re not actors.”
Although the Loverboy founder said he would return for a potential Season 11 — especially as he “enter[s] this year single” — the “real issue” would be if the cast is able to film together after this scandal.
He clarified that he would still be willing to film with Wilson, despite having “big issues” with him.
“I have big issues with a guy who is able to use his charm to get whatever he wants. Says the right thing at the right time. I’m not saying he manipulated Amanda, but she’s really in a vulnerable spot,” Cooke concluded.
Shortly after Batula, 34, and West, 31, confirmed their secret romance with a shocking joint statement Tuesday, a source close to the situation told Page Six that their co-stars are “pissed” and “disappointed” in them.
Their pairing comes as such a shock to the group since Batula’s “Summer House” bestie, Ciara Miller, previously dated Wilson and is navigating unresolved feelings for him on the currently airing 10th season of the Bravo reality show.
Our insider said the general vibe is “Team Ciara” — which makes sense considering the shady social media posts from Radke, Lindsay Hubbard and KJ Dillard just days before the news broke.
Miller, 30, has since unfollowed Batula and Wilson on Instagram.
Dillard — who was brought on the show by Wilson for Season 10 — also unfollowed him and so has newbie Mia Calabrese.
Miller was devastated after finding out her best friend is now dating her ex.
According to photos exclusively obtained by Page Six Tuesday, the model sat on the sidewalk slumped against the Hermès store in NYC and was consoled by an unidentified male, who crouched down and held her by the arms.
Batula’s romance with West also comes a little over two months after she and Cooke announced their separation.
Despite recently coming out of a four-year marriage, Page Six is told that Batula and Wilson are in a “full-blown relationship.”
