Ciara’s Wrath, West Dick Pics, Text Receipts

SPOILER ALERT: This text comprises spoilers for Part 1 of the Season 10 “Summer House” reunion, streaming on Peacock as of May 27.

What every week for Recent Yorkers.

On Monday night, the Recent York Knicks trounced the Cleveland Cavaliers to achieve the NBA Finals for the primary time in 27 years. And Tuesday, the primary a part of the “Summer House” Season 10 reunion saw Lindsay Hubbard call Westling Wilson a “toddler.”

Within the immortal words of Stefon, “This place has every little thing.”

For those of you who haven’t been keeping track of all of the “Summer House” drama — which I break down in rigorous detail here — on March 31, two of the Hamptons-set series’ forged members, Westling Wilson and Amanda Batula, publicly announced that they were in a situationship on Instagram. This confirmation followed weeks of speculative gossip about them on sites like Deuxmoi, including alleged footage of them caught in a compromising position. This news is noteworthy to the Bravoverse because Amanda and her husband of 4 years, Kyle Cooke, had announced their separation in January; Amanda’s close friend, Ciara Miller, had previously dated West and still has feelings for him; Ciara had spent the whole tenth season of the show serving as a shoulder to cry on for Amanda while her marriage fell apart; and West actively pursued Ciara all summer, kissing her through the season finale. Moreover, a series of audio leaks from the “Summer House” reunion appeared to point out West and Amanda acting defiant and unapologetic within the face of criticism.

The “Summer House” Season 10 reunion episodes — the primary of three parts — kicked off Tuesday night on Bravo (and can stream uncensored starting Wednesday on Peacock). It opens on March 31, as Lindsay is seated on a couch taping confessional interviews for the “Summer House” spinoff “Within the City.” Kyle enters, and tells her to examine her phone, flagging the aforementioned situationship post. A conference call ensues between the 2, Jesse Solomon, Mia Calabrese and Carl Radke, who’s a large number.

“Amanda tried to play it off last night prefer it’s only been happening for a month,” Kyle shares of his estranged wife and West. “Bullshit. At minimum, the second week of January they were together,” offers Mia. “And I’ll say,” adds Kyle, “there have been blinds going back to June 2025.”

The orchestral rating races and swells within the background as if we’re in a psychological thriller — you actually do have it to present it to Bravo — because the motion jumps forward to April 23, the day of the reunion taping.

“I’ve been on this for 10 years, from the start,” says Carl, who remains to be a large number. “What’s been happening the last month and a half, two months, is unlike anything we’ve ever experienced.”

KJ Dillard points out that West and Amanda making a public spectacle of themselves at a Yankees game relatively coincidentally happened the identical day that Ciara’s Glamour magazine cover issue dropped, and that KJ was initially imagined to go to the sport with West because they were playing the Kansas City Royals (KJ and West’s hometown club), but he didn’t go because “we’re not friends anymore” and “that hurts… I considered him like a brother.”

We’re treated to a heartfelt exchange between reunion host Andy Cohen and Ciara in her dressing room. “Who do you are feeling more betrayed by?” he asks her. “Amanda,” Ciara responds. “I mean, I’m shocked by West, but I’m also really hurt by Amanda.” Then, there’s a tough (soft?) transition to the boys of their dressing room joking about West’s dick pic that’s unfortunately began making the rounds. “It’s not a very good dick pic!” exclaims Kyle. “Who does it flaccid?” chimes in Jesse. And lastly, Andy pays a visit to Amanda and West, who’re sharing a dressing room. When he asks them how they think the reunion’s gonna go, Amanda takes the ground: “The reality is already on the market. It’s just going to be shutting down the rumors.” As for seeing Ciara, Amanda maintains, “I mean, there’s lots of guilt. That’s my friend, and it kills me that I’m the one which caused her any pain.” It’s an unpersuasive mea culpa, to say the least. And the primary of many.

The ladies of “Summer House” strut onto the set looking fabulous; the boys, considerably less so. In a blink-and you’ll-miss-it moment, as Ciara marches out in her tight corset, West could be seen pursing his lips while eyeing her because he cannot help himself, as has been made abundantly clear. The fireworks start almost immediately.

“I’m prepared to come clean with what I’ve done, take accountability, apologize — especially to Ciara and Kyle — and just hopefully have the option to clarify to everyone’s face what went on, and where I’m coming from,” Amanda says.

“I’m glad you can say our name this time,” Ciara shoots back, a nod to how she and Kyle were conspicuously unnoticed of Amanda and West’s relationship announcement.

Ciara first suspected that something was up between Amanda and West on Jan. 17, when she invited Amanda out to drinks together with her and Mia, but she wasn’t answering her phone. So, she checked Amanda’s location and discovered that she was at West’s apartment.

“West was there for me all summer and was checking in…” Amanda mumbles.

“And where was I?” Ciara presses. “And the way over and over have I asked you to hang around and you will have either blown me off…” — at which point Amanda tries to speak over her, and Ciara tells her to “shut the fuck up,” continuing, “How over and over have I asked you to hang around, have I asked to return over to your home, have I invited you to do stuff, and also you act like your phone doesn’t work?!”

The main focus turns to West, who’s remained mum as much as that time, and the extent to which he’d deceived his friends about his budding situationship with Amanda.

“I 100% lied to people here, and I take full accountability for that. Not cool to do basically, not cool to do to your pals, and irrespective of the case, lying to people you care about isn’t OK,” he says.

Cue Ciara: “The issue is that I feel such as you lie about your life. You lie about who you’re. I believe you’re probably the most fraudulent person sitting on this couch. We’ve been here three years now, and I don’t think anybody really, truly knows who you’re. You reside a distinct fucking life off-camera than you do on-camera. We don’t know what you’re doing.”

Then, the kicker: “Probably the explanation it was so confusing is: You had a girlfriend! Meija [Moreno].”

Yes, West apparently had a girlfriend as he began seeing Amanda, and his denial prompts Lindsay to indicate how Meija said the 2 were “exclusive” and that “she spent the night with you the night before you were on ‘Watch What Happens Live!’ on March 24,” or every week before West and Amanda’s notorious IG post.

“Correct,” West admits. “She brought me that [horse-hair] tie.” (Westling made a degree to plug his probable-girlfriend’s horse-hair tie on the show.)

And Amanda, who’s been staring into the abyss throughout this exchange, is snapped back to reality by Mia, who asks: “You went from being married to being considered one of West’s side bitches? That’s crazy.” I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Mia must be a everlasting addition to the “Summer House” forged. Just delightful.

It’s here that I’ll simply list a series of quotes from Amanda:

Yikes. While I do think Amanda has caught an excessive amount of flak from the general public for her reckless behavior, the way in which she plays the victim throughout Part 1 of the reunion doesn’t do her any favors. You don’t imagine for one single second that she thinks she’s overstepped in any way, or that she even cares concerning the toll this has taken on considered one of her closest friends.

Ciara, for her part, has this scathing response to Amanda’s “celibate” line:

“No one was saying that you simply needed to remain celibate or what the fuck ever, but there are 1,000,000 other fucking guys in Recent York City, but you selected the one which — and also you know how much that fucked me up — you selected the one guy, and you probably did it on purpose since you’re a fucking snake, Amanda. You’re a snake within the fucking grass, is what you’re. You’re a snake within the fucking grass, and it is best to truthfully just say, ‘OK,’ because you recognize you’re. You progress silent but you’re fucking deadly.” (The “snake within the grass” bit comes off a bit too rehearsed, for what it’s value.)

We also see Ciara dictate a series of texts Amanda sent her where she lies about her relationship with West, saying they’re just friends; and Kyle, who mostly stays silent, questions why, for the primary time in years, Amanda began turning off her phone location. Their first kiss, West and Amanda allege, was “at the tip of February after brunch,” they usually slept together for the primary time only after releasing the statement.

After a very good half-hour of West and Amanda getting grilled, Andy guides the conversation to other topics, akin to Mia opening up about losing her mother — “I just attempt to almost live for my mom and my dad, and do all of the things I can that I do know they’d want me to do” — KJ candidly detailing his mental health battle: “In the autumn, I went through some heavy stuff mentally. I actually needed to go to the hospital for self-harm,” he says. “I used to be there for every week. Mia and Ciara were there almost day by day, after which I went to recovery and that solidified it for me. I used to be there for a number of months… But now I’m higher — I’m in therapy, and I’m on medication. I got diagnosed with BPD once I was within the hospital, and I’m grateful that I’m here, alive, because I could haven’t been.” (While Mia and KJ were side characters during this season of “Summer House,” the way in which their traumatic stories are glossed over doesn’t sit well.)

We’re also treated to Bailey Taylor making a meal of her moment, going off on Ben for reprimanding her over that joke she’d told about him wanting to sleep with Amanda. “You wish to reprimand women, that was your problem,” she tells him. “I don’t fucking like the way in which you refer to Sabrina and I don’t like the way in which you refer to me, and I believe you’re stuffed with shit.” Preach.

Everyone’s standout moment from Part 1 of the reunion shall be different, but for me, it got here from the inimitable Lindsay Hubbard. Clad in an attention-grabbing red dress, she calmly takes in West’s bullshit explanation as to why he had Ciara over for kissy sleepovers in the autumn (!) only to tear her heart out some months later.

“West, you’re so fucking good. I’m getting pulled into you straight away, and I can catch myself. You’re so fucking good,” she says. “You’re good at pulling girls. Do whatever it is advisable to do to climb the ladder, to clout-chase to get wherever you fucking must go, after which boom — they don’t give you the results you want, they don’t serve what it is advisable to be served, and also you drop them. You’re gonna do the identical fucking thing to Amanda when this isn’t understanding, since it’s not going to, and also you’re not going to have the option to handle it, West, since you’re a fucking toddler.”

Bravo, Lindsay. You’re the most effective reason to look at “Within the City,” and I’ll proceed to accomplish that on the off probability that I’ll get to witness moments like this. As for the “Summer House” Season 10 reunion, I can’t imagine there are two more parts to this. After the primary, I’m sorely in need of a drink (or three).
