Zack Wickham<\/strong> by accident stirred the pot through the early days of Summer House<\/em> stars West Wilson<\/strong> and Amanda Batula<\/strong>\u2019s romance scandal \u2014 and he still has thoughts on what\u2019s transpired.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me say that I didn’t mean to [get involved],\u201d Zack, 39, exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> on Thursday, May 7, claiming it was \u201cby accident\u201d that he spilled some tea on the pair\u2019s alleged timeline during a March interview.<\/p>\n

Zack \u2014 who’s currently promoting season 3 of The Valley<\/em> \u2014 explained, \u201cI believed all the pieces was coming out. Well, and it was. I didn\u2019t think that me saying what I said was gonna throw a wrench in a timeline.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that looking back, all he did was speak about \u201crumors,\u201d which was nothing earth-shattering.<\/p>\n

On the identical day that Amanda, 34, and West, 31, confirmed their platonic relationship turned romantic, Zack hinted that there could be more eyebrow-raising details about their romance coming out soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I’ll say that one among our friends\u2019 cousins was on a vacation and met [Summer House<\/em> star] Jesse Solomon<\/strong> and he just told her all the pieces after which she told me,\u201d Zack claimed through the March 31 episode of SiriusXM\u2019s Smith Sisters Live<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Zack teased on the time, \u201cSo, I\u2019m like, if what he told her is real, then brace yourselves, America. Sorry Jesse, I didn\u2019t mean to throw you under the bus. I\u2019m not saying anything publicly, but oh, my God.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLuckily, I didn\u2019t throw a wrench in anything,\u201d Zack told Us<\/em> on Thursday. \u201cI used to be like, \u2018Dear God,\u2019 like, I just that taught me to maintain my mouth shut sometimes, like, I don\u2019t must say all the pieces I do know.\u201d<\/p>\n

He admitted, \u201cThe last item I need to do is insert myself into one other show\u2019s business,\u201d before apologizing to Jesse, 32, for name-dropping him in his past interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cI apologize, Jesse, I\u2019m so sorry,\u201d Zack said, revealing that Jesse \u201cstill follows me. I assume we\u2019re still good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Zack\u2019s March statement, more details have emerged and the Summer House<\/em> solid has distanced themselves from Amanda and West. (Amanda announced her split from husband Kyle Cooke<\/strong> in January, months before she confirmed she is dating West. West, meanwhile, dated Amanda\u2019s longtime friend and costar Ciara Miller<\/strong> in 2023 and so they were visibly flirtatious filming season 10 of the series in summer 2025.)<\/p>\n

A source told Us<\/em> in early April that West and Ciara, 30, had been hooking up as recently as \u201cabout three to 4 weeks ago\u201d and that Ciara didn\u2019t know anything about Amanda\u2019s relationship with him.<\/p>\n

Ciara broke her silence on the drama in an interview Glamour<\/em> published on April 17, claiming that she and West had previously outlined \u201cboundaries\u201d to repair their friendship, but those were blown up with the Amanda romance.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne in every of those [boundaries] was no more sleeping with people on Bravo. Obviously, now that\u2019s out the window,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

West, for his part, denied last month that there was any \u201coverlap\u201d between his relationship with Ciara and Amanda\u2019s romance with estranged husband Kyle, 43, before they became an item.<\/p>\n

Still, the Summer House<\/em> solid appears to be siding with Ciara and Kyle amid the drama, which fans will see come to a head through the season 10 reunion, which airs on May 26.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSummer House\u2019s Jesse Solomon is spilling the tea on all things Amanda Batula and West Wilson. During a Tuesday, April 21, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Jesse make clear the controversial romance between Amanda, 34, and West, 31, including how Amanda\u2019s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, feels concerning the relationship. (Amanda [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cFrom what I\u2019ve seen on socials, Amanda and West are really not handling the gravity of what they really have \u2014 the damage that they\u2019ve done of their group,\u201d Zack told Us<\/em>, noting that the reunion can be telling for and if the solid can move forward.<\/p>\n
