Lindsay Hubbard is sharing her thoughts on the ongoing Summer House scandal and revealing just how “activated” she got while filming the season 10 reunion.
During Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen asked Hubbard about the horsehair tie she was sporting for the episode — a clear callback to West Wilson’s now infamous Feb. 3 appearance on the series, where he denied his romance with Amanda Batula.
“You’re wearing the horsehair tie that West was wearing when he was here,” Cohen pointed out, to which Hubbard responded, seemingly throwing shade toward Batula, “This is from Meija Moreno. You can go to her Instagram, and some would call it being a girl’s girl.”
Wilson gave Meija Moreno a shoutout during his last WWHL stint, and it’s been since rumored that they were in some sort of relationship right up until he and Batula announced they were together.
Hubbard is the first original Summer House cast member to appear on WWHL since Batula and Wilson confirmed their romance in late March. After a month of rumors and denying that their relationship had turned more than platonic, the duo put out a joint statement, sending the Bravosphere into shockwaves, specifically because Ciara Miller used to date Wilson, and she was also very close friends with Batula.
On WWHL, Hubbard said she did not initially believe speculation that Batula and Wilson were an item, and that she also does not believe Wilson’s claims that “things between them” began in February.
“I just think there’s a difference between emotional and physical, and that things in an emotional capacity could have happened before,” she explained. Hubbard was also asked by Cohen for her thoughts on Wilson posting a photo of her daughter and Miller on his Instagram Story shortly after the rumors began swirling, arguing that “he used my child as a bait click to sort of cover up his relationship. I didn’t like that, and we talked about it at the reunion.”
Cohen also slammed the Summer House reunion leak, as Hubbard detailed the shoot as “one of the most intense, dramatic reunions I’ve ever experienced.”
“Leaks, be damned. You’ve heard this much,” Cohen said as he pinched his fingers together.
The longtime reality star also clarified that after filming the reunion, both Wilson and Batula have reached out to her via text, although she doesn’t know if she’d be able to respond to Batula because “I’m a little busy.”
“I’m a little busy, so we’ll see,” Hubbard said. “You know, I’m going to all the NYU bars and stuff,” she added, a clear shot fired toward Wilson and Batula, who have frequently been spotted out and about in New York City.
Wilson joined the cast of Bravo’s Summer House in season eight, which began airing in 2024. During that installment, Wilson met the cast and began his romance with Miller, whom he dated through the end of the year. At the season eight reunion of the reality series, the two announced they were no longer together, and Miller revealed that Wilson said he could not commit to a serious relationship with her “for show-related reasons.”
Wilson and Miller were on rocky terms throughout the ninth season of Summer House. Season 10 premiered in February and is currently airing, where the two have gotten close and rehashed aspects of their former romance. (In episode seven, Miller admitted that “it’s very clear that we both miss each other,” and noted that “we’re in a weird state of like, limbo, and so it’s all just coming out so disorganized and a bit crazy.”)
In the wake of the scandal, Miller was cast on the upcoming fall season of Dancing With the Stars. The news was announced on April 22, and a day later, she came face-to-face with Batula and Wilson for the first time since they confirmed their relationship to film the anticipated Summer House season 10 reunion.
However, the reunion in itself has sparked a major controversy for Bravo, as audio from the set leaked the night of April 23. A day later, on Friday, Bravo confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that they launched an investigation into the matter.
On Sunday, the network revealed the investigation had concluded and found that the leak came from someone involved in the production. In the days since, two more audio recordings from the Summer House reunion have circulated online.
“An investigation into the recent leak of the Summer House reunion audio has concluded that the audio was an unauthorized recording and distributed by an individual involved in the production of the reunion. As a result of the findings, appropriate action has been taken,” a Bravo spokesperson shared in a statement to THR. “There is no evidence that any member of the cast was involved in the recording of the audio.”
The statement continued, “We take these matters seriously and will continue to take appropriate measures to respond to the unauthorized distribution of our content. We are aware that there is additional improperly obtained audio circulating and we caution all parties and platforms to refrain from posting, sharing, or amplifying any unauthorized audio.”
Elsewhere, Batula and Cooke announced their separation in January. The couple, who have been married for four years, have been on the Bravo series throughout the majority of its run; Cooke has been a full-time cast member since season one, where they both appeared as their relationship began. Batula joined the cast in a full-time capacity during season two, and they later got engaged on the show in September 2018.
Hubbard, Batula and Cooke will all next star in the Summer House spinoff In The City, which will premiere directly after the season 10 finale on May 19. Hubbard also shared that the scandal particularly “disappointed” her because she got close with Batula during filming for the new series.
“We did a lot of filming for In The City right after Summer House, and I had Amanda’s back. Like, we were basically best friends while filming,” she explained. “I got very, very, very, very, very close to Amanda while filming In The City, so this whole situation has disappointed me a lot.”
