Amanda Batula told West Wilson to check out her butt on “Summer House” months before they confirmed their relationship.
During Tuesday night’s episode, which was filmed last summer, Batula got flirty with Wilson at their Hamptons house while he was making out with another girl in front of his ex and her best friend, Ciara Miller.
When Batula, 34, saw Wilson, 31, and the girl on a daybed by the pool, she got upset and ran over to sit with them.
“Whatcha doing? Can I come in for a cuddle? Am I crashing your party?” Batula asked the pair as Wilson invited her to join them.
Wilson then played with Batula’s hair as she asked his guest to watch her then-husband, Kyle Cooke, DJ later that night.
When Batula got up, she told Wilson, “I’ve gotta go. Watch my butt when I walk away.”
Later, after Wilson’s guest left the party, Batula berated the sports journalist for making out with the girl in front of Miller, 30.
“You just got too comfortable on probation,” she told Wilson, who complained that he feels like he can’t do anything right in Miller’s eyes since their 2023 split.
Wilson said, “Ciara could be f—ing dating someone right now for all I know, but I feel like I just cheated on my wife.”
Batula then told Wilson, “You guys have been making progress. So my question is, why at this small, intimate party, do you decide to have this girl sitting in your lap the whole time and making out with her?”
But Cooke, 43, interjected, defending Wilson — which caused a fight with Batula.
Before the conversation ended, Batula reiterated to Wilson that he has to “respect” Miller if he wants to win her back.
At the end of the episode, Miller cried to Batula and Mia Calabrese about Wilson kissing another girl in front of her.
“Honestly, I know that I had this gut feeling of why I didn’t wanna be friends with him, and this is why,” the model explained. “There’s a reason why I don’t trust him. He can’t be a friend to me.”
On March 31, Batula and Wilson shocked “Summer House” fans when they confirmed their romance in a joint Instagram statement.
The duo said it “was never [their] intention to purposely hide” their relationship.
“We … recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless,” they added, seemingly referencing how their connection affects Miller.
According to TMZ, Miller found out about her ex and former BFF’s romance through an intimate video.
Miller has since shared cryptic social media uploads about “loyalty,” the value of “sisterhood” and more, without directly addressing the scandal.
Meanwhile, Batula and Wilson were out and about together in New York City this weekend, hitting up a bar and going on a double date on Friday night and enjoying a movie date night on Sunday.
Earlier on Friday, Batula told her Instagram followers that she was ready to “start living life again” after the romance reveal.
She also promised to “address any and all questions” at the “Summer House” Season 10 reunion, set to film later this month.
