“Summer House” star Kyle Cooke revealed he and his co-star Ciara Miller both had “evidence” of his ex-wife Amanda Batula’s secret romance with Miller’s ex West Wilson before the new couple confirmed their relationship.
“I think she had more evidence at her disposal than I did,” Cooke, 43, told street journalist Adam Glyn in a TikTok video uploaded on Wednesday.
“She was trying to, like, let me come to terms at my own speed. It’s just a lot to process.”
Earlier on Wednesday, Cooke shared he was “really worried” about his ex as she’s been getting “cyber bullied” for her new romance.
“I talked to her last night and I think — I understand people have all sorts of opinions and I’m not justifying any behavior. But, from what I’m seeing, she’s kind of getting cyber bullied and at the end of the day, all I know is, West seems to be the kind of guy playing multiple women at the same time,” he said in a previous TikTok video also posted on Wednesday.
“Amanda knows that what she did was wrong, and is trying to come to terms with it. She is not well,” he added while slamming Wilson.
It’s worth noting that Cooke revealed his ex also gave him a “heads up” before she and Wilson announced their new “connection.”
Cooke has shown his support for both Miller and Batula amid the scandal.
The day before the “Summer House” stars shared their announcement, the “Loverboy” founder subtly showed some love toward Miller by sharing two Instagram photos of the pair that were taken from his retirement home-themed birthday party, which aired during last week’s episode of “Summer House.”
In the photos, the reality stars donned prosthetics and gray hair to look elderly in both pictures.
“Instagram vs Reality,” the LoverBoy creator captioned his post.
Wilson and Batula confirmed their secret romance on Tuesday after facing hookup speculation from fans.
“It was never our intention to purposely 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,” the two said in a shocking social media statement.
They continued, “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. Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
A source exclusively told Page Six that the pair are in a “full-blown relationship” and added that the new romance is “not just a hookup.”
