Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard is dissecting the timeline leading as much as Amanda Batula and West Wilson revealing their romance — including a telling kiss with Kyle Cooke.
Throughout the Tuesday, April 28, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Bravo newbie Bailey Taylor described seeing Amanda, 34, kiss Kyle, 43, in late February, one month after they announced their split.
“She was grabbing his face and really heavily kissing him, and I used to be saying, ‘What is occurring?’” Bailey, 30, recalled. “I said to West, ‘What are they doing?’ He goes, ‘Allow them to do their thing.’ Now I’m wondering, why did he say that?”
Lindsay, 39, offered her unfiltered tackle the situation, saying, “Imagine using your husband as a decoy to your boyfriend? Wild!”
Lindsay also claimed that she didn’t trust West, 31, and Amanda’s version of events.
“I just think there’s a difference between emotional and physical [connection],” she told host Andy Cohen. “And that things in an emotional capability could have happened before. It’s undeniable watching the season.”
Lindsay also called out West for posting a photograph of her 16-month-old daughter, Gemma, fidgeting with his ex Ciara Miller as a strategy to seemingly throw people off as rumors spread about his status with Amanda earlier this yr.
“He used my child as a bait click to kind of cover up his relationship,” she said. “I didn’t like that. And we speak about that on the reunion.”
Shortly after Amanda and Kyle announced their breakup in January, speculation swirled about Amanda’s potential reference to West — who previously dated Ciara, 30, in 2023.
Amanda initially denied the possibilities of dating one other costar amid her separation from Kyle, while West insisted in March that he and Amanda were just friends. They confirmed their relationship soon after.
“It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. … We’ve shown up for one another as friends through the years, through all of the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the very last thing either of us expected,” read a joint statement last month. “Our connection grew out of a real, longstanding friendship, which made it especially vital for us to approach this with care.”
The couple received backlash from each their fans and costars, who gathered to film the Summer House season 10 reunion on Thursday, April 23. Sooner or later later, audio from the taping was leaked, and Bravo launched an investigation into the source.
“People laid their souls out emotionally for ten hours yesterday and it’s disgusting and illegal for somebody to leak or distribute this,” Andy wrote via Threads after the audio was shared online. “It’s disrespectful to the work and tears the solid put in yesterday. Let the season play out. You will note all of it in due time.”
Bravo later offered an update into the situation.
