Mia Alario revealed ex West Wilson texted her amid the drama surrounding his new romance with Amanda Batula — just two days ago.
At Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” live event on Wednesday evening in New York, the “Southern Hospitality” star said Wilson wrote to her after she was asked about his and Batula’s romance on a recent episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.”
She recalled him saying, “I’ve been off the internet but I’ve seen snippets of everything, and I’m sorry for getting you roped into all this.”
Alario, 28, added that she thanked him for apologizing, and agreed that it’s a good idea to “stay off the internet.”
Alario — who previously claimed she went on a date with Wilson in September — recalled people telling her, “Go out with him, he’s a fun guy.”
“And guess what? He is a fun guy,” she said, adding that the “Summer House” star is “charming” and “very nice.”
“Has he used those traits for evil? Yes,” she joked, prompting laughter from the audience.
A rep for the “Summer House” star did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Wilson, 31, and his “Summer House” co-star Amanda Batula, 34, released a bombshell joint social media statement in March revealing their secret romance — despite West’s previous relationship with ex Ciara Miller, 30, who also happened to be close friends with Batula.
“It was never our intention to purposely hide anything,” they wrote in a statement on March 31. “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.”
They also wrote that “what’s developed recently was the last thing” they expected after “show[ing] up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows.”
Miller, for her part, was seen crouched outside an Hermés boutique in apparent despair, just moments after the statement was released on Instagram.
A source told Page Six earlier this month that the couple’s castmates — including Miller and Batula’s ex, Kyle Cooke — are “pissed” at and “disappointed” with them.
Meanwhile, Alario stepped forward to question the pair’s romance timeline after they claimed they’d become involved in February.
Alario alleged during her appearance last week on “WWHL” that when she’d been on the September date with Wilson, he was already spending time with Batula.
“I met Amanda at BravoCon [in November] and she actually told me that they pregamed our date at his apartment,” Alario told Cohen.
“At the time, I was like, ‘Oh, you’re such a good friend. That sounds like such a good time,’” she continued.
She also claimed that Batula told her she gave Wilson “some advice and some tips” before their date.
“I was like, girl, did we get the same tip or what? Damn. I don’t know,” Alario said, labeling Wilson and Batula’s romance “a messy situation.”
“I don’t want any part of that at all,” she told Cohen.
The Bravo personality admitted that while she had “a fun time” with the sports journalist, she wasn’t aware of what she called his “morale.”
Amid the drama, however, Alario joked at Wednesday’s Page Six event that she’s not worried about Miller.
“Ciara, if she was ugly … I’d feel bad for her. But she is one of the baddest bitches on Bravo,” she quipped as the audience cheered.
