Amanda Batula is exiting Bravo’s Summer House following her shock affair with West Wilson.
Both Wilson, 31, and bikini designer Batula, 34, are out as production starts up for the show’s 11th season over the upcoming July 4 holiday weekend.
TMZ were the first to break the news, reporting that Batula is out as a full-time cast member, but the outlet stated that she could still possibly make guest appearances during the season.
Multiple sources confirmed the news to Daily Mail, with one saying, ‘It just didn’t make sense for her to come back. It’s a show about friends living together in a house.’
It’s unclear if Batula will remain on the Summer House spin-off In The City, which is currently in the middle of airing its first season.
Daily Mail has contacted Bravo for comment.

It comes just days after Wilson confirmed his own departure from the hit show during an appearance on The Broadcast Boys podcast.
‘I wanted to tell it on my own but that is true. But in their defense, I don’t think it would have been a fun summer,’ he said.
Wilson had been on the show since season eight and landed at the center of a series-defining scandal after he began dating Batula – a relationship that shocked their friend group.
Ciara Miller and Kyle Cooke, in particular, were the ones left particularly blindsided by the relationship.
Batula was best friends with Miller – Wilson’s ex – while Wilson was also friends with Batula’s ex-husband, Kyle Cooke.
The controversial couple confirmed their relationship in March in a statement that sent shockwaves across the Bravo universe.
‘We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,’ the statement read.
‘It was never our intention to purposefully hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it,’ it continued.

‘What’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.
‘As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless.
‘We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.’
The couple faced the music from castmates at the season 10 reunion, which recently aired.
At the Newport Beach TV Fest, Andy Cohen called the three-part special among the most ‘intense’ reunions Bravo has had.
‘This is a real group and there was real emotional fallout among this group,’ he said.
‘This group is rocked and devastated and it’s very real and it was very emotional. And I left and I was truly spent and I wasn’t in it – I was just directing the conversation.’
